Sean, Mat and James talked over PlayStation's first 'State of Play' presentation live on Twitch, and here it is in audio form.  We'd obviously recommend watching the video of our live reactions on our Twitch or YouTube channels, but if you're not able to do that, hopefully this audio version will suffice. Note: Because we used the audio from the stream for this show, the audio quality won't be at...

And this news isn't just a series of pres...

Ooh, looks like the listeners are scared. All because we’re not afraid to speak our minds, put our heads above the parapet and tell it LIKE IT IS. And do you know what, we don’t care. No other podcast on the PLANET is brave enough to say that Zelda BOTW was a good game, but it’s no skin off our nose. Mario Galaxy was alright too. Also: James has an announcement that ruins the fun for everyone, Mat...

It's a packed show this week, and we start off by covering all the news and announcements from last week's Nintendo Direct. Including the fact that Nintendo casually released a possible GOTY in the form of Tetris 99. The boys all seem to be playing the same games this week, and things get heated when Mat and James discuss Microsoft’s latest exclusive, Crackdown 3. Games discussed: Tetris 99, Daemo...

AND WE’RE BACK. The Christmas break is finally over, David’s left the pod, and it’s time for James, Mat and Sean to pick up the pieces. So who’s hosting? Who’s reading the news? And how many games can three people play over three weeks? All that plus new initiatives and old arguments on this first pod of 2019. Enjoy. Games discussed: Ashen, Ori and the Blind Forest, Resident Evil 2, Beat Saber, De...

It's finally time to decide the TCGS Game of the Year for 2018. 16 games were chosen last week, and the Listeners' Choice entry has been confirmed, but which game will come out on top? It's almost four hours of discussion, arguments, bribes and tactics as David (for the last time in a while), Mat, James and Sean battle it out to see who wins Game of the Year 2018. Games discussed: Astro Bot Rescue...

It’s David’s last proper show and there’s no better way to end it than with the GOTY Draft 2018. The boys sit down to put together their list of the top 16 games of the year and they’re already trying to work out each others tactics. David continues his discovery of VR, James tries his hand at Smash Brothers, Mat's hovering around David’s chair and Sean drags out a two hour game over three weeks....

It’s a busy week this week with David finally able to join in with the PSVR chat after a bribe from James. Mat learns the consequences of rushing through games, Sean thinks that Londoners never want to travel outside of the M25 and an independent games shop has to deal with a local celebrity trying to use his status to get a discount. Games discussed: The Gardens Between, Return of the Obra Dinn,...

Everyone's here, but Mat's got a bone to pick with David about his recent performance on another podcast. Other than that, Sean's now a professional gamer, James isn't happy with collectibles, David still has views on Tetris Effect, Mat is playing more games than everyone else, and there's a revelation about 2/3 of the way through the podcast that changes EVERYTHING. Games discussed: Spider-Man, P...

James returns and as usual he's got a few notes on last week’s show that he’d like to discuss with the others. David's been watching a hell of a lot of FIFA 18, Sean's been doing some research on Twitter and Mat's been secretly hammering a game all week that he’s keen to talk about. It’s a long one. Games discussed: FIFA 18, Shenmue 2, Snake Pass, Tetris Effect, Red Dead Redemption 2, Spider-Man,...

Sean returns this week but it’s not a full squad as James misses out due to work commitments. Sean questions why he’s getting the blame for the holes on James’ back, David hates a game that he can’t stop playing, and Mat is beaming from ear to ear due to a certain Japanese game. Games discussed: Red Dead Redemption 2, The Quiet Man, Tetris Effect, Rage in Peace LISTEN Apple Podcasts Google Podcast...

Sean is off again this week but don't worry, it's not another Freeman show as the boys are joined by Gamespot's Global Head of News, Tamoor Hussain. James feels the pressure reading the news in front of a professional, David wants to hear more about Red Dead Redemption 2's HDR mode and Mat contemplates the future of Half-Life. Games discussed: Red Dead Redemption 2, Crayola Scoot, Friday 13th, Tet...

It’s Halloween and the boys are keen to use scary noises to spook the listeners. They’ve also spent the week with a snake in their boot and announcing that someone has poisoned the water hole. As you’d expect much of this show is dedicated to Red Dead Redemption 2 but that doesn’t stop David and Sean questioning some of Mat’s statements from the week before. Meanwhile James is adjusting to time tr...

David’s off this week, so here it is; a little preview of how TCGS will sound in 2019 when David takes a year off to look after this second child. Oh wait. What’s that? Sean’s also not on the show because he’s suddenly unwell an hour before recording? Ah. Well that just leaves James and Mat to carry the torch and do something for the listeners. I mean sure, James would have liked nothing more than...

Despite being away this week, Sean manages to make an appearance to test out what the show will be like once David leaves. James offers his opinions on wave machines and Mat recalls the time he attended an expo while being dressed for success. Games discussed: Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Forza Horizon 4, Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Shenmue. LISTEN Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Pocket Casts O...
