Playstation? Xbox? Nintendo Switch? We talk about all of them! On this episode, the guys chat about what they've been playing this week, along with a deep dive into the recent Nintendo Direct.  Hit us up on twitter [@thecrossplayers] and let us know your pick of the games announced. 

The guys sit down to enjoy the Nintendo Direct LIVE and give their hot takes on the newest announcements. 

In their very first video podcast, Heather, Laurie, and Dan talk about PlayStations stacked 2022 of games.

Lewis is unwell, so Dan takes the hot seat and drives Mark, Ben & Alex into a brick wall of gaming goodness. Buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Join your hosts Lewis , Dan, Ben, Alex & Mark as they rattle (prattle?) through all manner of gaming topics - the news, gaming resolutions, Pick Up & Play and the first Mario or Smario of 2022. This one is a real doozy. To be honest I've never really understood what that means, but I feel like it's too late to ask anyone and I don't want to admit defeat and Google it. So here we are. Enjoy...

Cheeky sausages all round! This episode is hosted by four of them: Alex, the good old dependable Scottish square sausage. Lewis, as above except he calls it a Lorne sausage because he's posh-Scottish. Dan, a battered sausage from the chippy, smothered in gravy, curry sauce and the tears of a vegan child. Mark, who was confused by the concept of sausages and instead dressed up as Linda McCartney. A...

It's January. We're all miserable. Life has no meaning. We get it. Turn that frown upside down by listening to your pals Lewis, Ben, Mark and Alex as they predict how the next year in gaming is going to shake out. This time around there's a competitive twist so at the end of the year we'll be able to crown our very own NEStradamus. Who has the craziest predictions? Who played it safe? Who ate all...

When it comes to Game of the Year Awards, there aren't many outlets brave enough to record their decision-making process for all to see. And with good reason, based on this utter shambles. Still, what's more festive than having a drink and arguing with people you secretly hate about things that don't even matter? I'm kidding! I love these guys. And we hope you love listening to Lewis, Dan, Ben, Ma...

Gather round, dear listeners for the latest Christmas Terror Alert, more thoughts on Halo Infinite, some chat about Control, Shin Megami Tensei V and a whole lot more. Your hosts Lewis, Dan, Ben and Alex also discuss their most underrated games of 2021 and the best games they've played this year that were released pre-2021. All this is to say that our annual big, bad bumper GOTY episode is recordi...

A pinch of Lewis, a dash of Ben, a dusting of Mark and a good glug of Alex. No, it's not a cookery show. It's not even a porno. It's CrossCast, a video game podcast by idiots, for idiots. On this week's show, we discuss the Golden Joystick awards, the Switch OLED, Tetris Effect, A Monster's Expedition, EXO one and much more besides. You know what, just reading back the first sentence I should have...

Lewis, Dan, Ben & Max break down the Game of the Year nominees, discuss Elden Ring impressions and offer in-depth analysis* of Halo Infinite. *They've played it for about an hour.

We're all playing Forza Horizon 5 and we have things to say about it. We also have things to say about the GTA Trilogy, Elden Ring and Max's mum.

Dear listener, We've had a number of complaints* that our episode titles have nothing to do with the games we talk about on the episode, which puts us in an awkward position. On one hand, listener feedback is crucial to us. We are nothing without you. On the other hand, if somebody told Leonardo da Vinci to paint a speech bubble coming out of the Mona Lisa's mouth so we knew what she was smirking...

An Englishman, a Mozambican & a Scotsman (and another Scotsman) walk into a bar. The Englishman lays his Louis Vuitton man purse on the bar and says "I've already had 10 pints, and bought 10 rounds for my friends. Altruism". The first Scotsman says "Hullo there! I'll have something from Stewart Brewing, it's just around the corner from me". The second Scotsman says "I'll get this, guys. I made...

Are you ready for some trivia? I sure hope you are. Because that's what this is. Smark concocted a full-length version of our 'beloved' Mario or Smario segment and got a load of us together to compete for prizes on behalf of our Patreon supporters, as part of our year 2 celebrations.
