The Computer Game Show

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.

This is it. The first of our eagerly awaited spoilercasts covering Life is Strange 2. If you haven't already played the first episode of Life is Strange 2, you should probably turn back now, because it's all spoilers from this point on. In this episode we cover everything from the first episode of Life is Strange 2, including: the characters, the plot points, every decision we make and our thought...

Mat returns to the show to find out if James really has desolved Interface or not. To be honest, he’s dreaming if he thinks James would ever podcast with him again. David gets confronted by a listener over the way he treated them at EGX and Sean gets a full review of his performance on last week's podcast. Games discussed: Shenmue, Forza Horizon 4, Life is Strange 2: episode 1, Spider-Man, Astro B...

Mat is out this week so it’s left to David, Sean and James to reflect on the events that took place at EGX 2018. James tries to come to terms with being confronted by a developer and David embarrasses himself in front of a listener, or at least he thinks he did. Meanwhile James has a surprise for David and Sean starts to become a Millwall fan. Games discussed: Life is Strange 2: Episode 1, The Gar...

The boys return to the stage in this very special episode of The Computer Game Show, live from EGX 2018. David, Sean, Mat and James talk about the games they've played at EGX, including one that makes David want to give up gaming forever. Mat talks about his favourite but least known Telltale game, Sean finds out if the listeners want to see him play through FIFA's 'The Journey', and James is conf...

It’s a big one this week. Not only is it the final episode before our live show at EGX this coming Saturday, but a lot has happened since the last recording. Spider-Man’s mysterious backpacks? Solved. That Spider-Man proposal? Dealt with. The fact that Mat and James thought they were more important than David and Sean and could do whatever they liked and upload an episode of Interface on the TCGS...

David finally gets his Xbox One X, however all he’s been playing on it is Rocket League due to the new Rocket League Pass taking over his life. Mat has been playing Spider-Man and details what is possibly the worst excuse for a collectable in any computer game ever, James bangs on about Juiced again going into detail over the mechanics, various game modes and its development process leading up to...

James is like a dog with a bone this week as one of the news stories is about the legal issues surrounding gaming in China. He bangs on about it for the majority of the show. Meanwhile Mat returns to The Witcher 3 and finishes the tutorial and David has found another excuse to talk about Rocket League. Sean is also on the show. Games discussed: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, Donut County, In...

This week Mat and James have to face up to the fallout from last week’s debate.

David has been playing Shenmue and is excited to give James his opinions and Sean is also on the show. Games discussed: Shenmue, Yoku’s Island Express, Guacamelee 2, Hollow Knight...

This is it. The Big One. Mat vs James. Farley returns and faces off against Murray over his opinions about the polarising videogame 'Detroit: Become Human'. But Mat isn’t going to just lay down and take it. He wants to fight back. In an episode that will go down in podcasting history as one of the greatest debates of all time, we present episode 117 of The Computer Game Show. David and Sean are al...

James is away again this week and Mat is absolutely gutted because he’s been playing Detroit: Become Human and has a few things to say about James’ opinions. David gets extremely excited about the prospect of James returning next week while Sean has another fantastic anecdote to tell from his very exciting stag do. Games discussed: Detroit: Become Human, Hollow Knight, Membrane, Call of Duty: Blac...

All four of us are present for the first time in weeks, and we launch straight into an argument about why David's opinion on Yakuza 0 is an issue, whereas the opinion from "My Sean" is perfectly valid. Elsewhere the plate and whether things are technically on or off it is discussed again, plus Fortnite on Android, Nintendo's sales figures, and which TCGS member is most like one of the cast from On...

Sean returns but James ruins any chance we had of having a full cast by dropping out just hours before recording. We should be mad really but to be fair to him he’s put the effort in by pre-recording the news and mailing it in. He won’t editorialise it though, no way. Mat reacts to whether the listeners think Super Mario Odyssey is off of his plate or not and David struggles to get back into No Ma...

This week's show is like one of those crime documentaries that you see on Netflix. We go live from the TCGS court where James Farley, who is definitely guilty, tries to defend ROM sites. Judge Turner is not convinced but is willing to hear what the defendant has to say. In a strange turn of events Prosecuting Lawyer Mat Murray has to take to the stands to defend himself over a claim that he has co...

Both James and Sean sit out this week so David and Mat call on an old friend to fill the gap. David finishes The Spectrum Retreat and reveals whether or not it lives up to last week's hype while Mat has to defend his lack of deodorant use. News is a bit thin on the ground this week, but the boys have some news of their own to keep things interesting. EGX 2018 Watch The Computer Game Show LIVE at E...

It's coming home, It's coming home, It's coming, Football's coming home (x4). Everyone seems to know the score, they've seen it all before, they just know, they're so sure, that England's gonna throw it away gonna blow it away but I know they can play ‘cause I remember three Lions on a shirt. Jules Rimet still gleaming. Thirty years of hurt. Never stopped me dreaming. So many jokes, so many sneers...

With David being ill and Mat and James both nursing hangovers we were a little concerned that this week’s show might be a washout. Turns out that all we needed was more Life is Strange to talk about and an excuse to walk down memory lane. This ended up being a very fun one to record, so you’d better bloody like it.   KICKSTARTER Buy a TCGS T-shirt or polo shirt through our Kickstarter campaign whi...
