Five weeks have passed and it's time for the July Codec Momentum update to bring us all up to speed with games completed, games attempted and what's been happening on social media since the last update.  Ali, Andy and Matt are all on hand to discuss the events of the last month. Listen in to find out: What state is the leaderboard in Who's won the prize draw this month Why Andy is in Dad mode If w...

We know, we know.  We promised a cheap and cheerful clips montage podcast a couple of weeks back and failed to deliver.  Well fear not intrepid listener, here it is!  As a way of celebrating the 6th birthday of Codec Moments, Andy, Matt and Ali spent some time in the podcast archives rummaging through the episodes to find their favourite bits.  Be prepared to listen to unfamiliar theme tunes, poor...

What's up!?  We promised a birthday episode this week, but that hasn't panned out exactly as we planned.  In it's place you're getting something that might be more interesting anyway - an interview with Greg Chun who stars in the Yakuza spin off, Judgment.  WARNING: there are some minor spoilers in this interview.  Don't get used to this type of quality output, we'll be back with the cheap clips s...

This week's podcast was inspired by the upcoming Wolfenstein: Youngblood with the inherent co-op being a big selling point of the game.  We intended to talk about it at length, but got slightly sidetracked by a couple of things: 1.) Ali's PC decided to update itself and not be available for recording; and 2.) Andy couldn't stay for the full length of the podcast.  At least this meant that we could...

In the aftermath of May's Assassin's Creed bonus mayhem we thought June might be quite quiet... we were a little bit wrong.  #Finishers, 100% Completions and new players feature in this months update, as well as what Ali and Matt have been playing instead of clearing their pile of shame. In this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast you'll hear: What the latest changes to the leaderboard are How Al...

It's like a finely tuned machine... an F1 game gets released and Matt and Ali jump at the chance to talk in depth about it.  F1 2019 brings a lot of changes with it that are mostly for the better, so what better topic for this week's podcast.  Listen in for what they think, what has changed, and whether they still enjoy the same tracks year in, year out. In yet another F1 2019 special you'll hear:...

With Google's announcement of the Stadia coming later this year and how it could (potentially) revolutionise the way we consume games, the Codec Moments team got together to talk about the various services that are already on offer, and what the benefits and drawbacks are of each of the games services.  Is there one that comes out on top?  Are they all just part of a gamers repertoire?  How much d...

What better way to roundup our thoughts on E3 2019 than to have another live show?  Andy, Matt and Ali are joined by Stuart Cullen to talk about what they thought of this year’s show, which games stood out, and where they think things will go from here.  Because it was live and people were actually there on Discord, there were also giveaways too!  If you missed out, still listen to this because th...

It's a distinctly historical theme this month as Matt, Andy and Ali wade their way through the annuls of time... and mountains of Assassin's Creed games.  The bonus month took off big time and nearly every entry in the series got a pledge on one platform or another.  Did they all get completed though?  Listen to the show to find out. In this Assassin's Creed special of Codec Momentum, you'll hear...

For the second year in a row, the Codec Moments team have recorded an E3 episode that hasn't languished in editing hell until September!  Andy, Matt, Ali and Stu discuss their E3 predictions.  Some are outlandish, some sound like they have been researched and some have already been announced in the week since the recording took place.  The last sentence was lifted directly from the 2018 episode an...

It's been a while since we've sat down and talked about what's been our go to games recently, so Matt and Ali spend this week's episode talking about what they've been spending the most time with.  If you've been keeping up with our #CodecMomentum bonus month you probably won't be surprised by the heavy Assassin's Creed content.  The keen eared amongst you might spot a little something different w...

Ali and Andy get together to talk about the games that defined the ground-breaking N64 console *cough* Goldeneye *cough*. Listen to the whole podcast to hear about: The future proofing of the N64 The failed disk drive attachment that expanded the console's capabilities  The games that defined the console Goldeneye Matt's new Xbox Why not join our Discord to talk games (and other stuff) and listen...

There's a new racing game coming based on the most famous motorsport in the world, and there's been an exclusive look at the new Codemasters outing recently in Hamburg.  Matt's grabbed Stuart as soon as he got off the place to dig into the details of the F1 2019 preview event.  What's new, what's been improved, can you break your arms on a Fanatec wheel?  We talk all about what this years entry is...

The Codec Moments team, just like the gaming industry, can't get enough of different zombie outings on their favourite platforms.  We're here this week to talk about the co-op antics of World War Z, the solo escapades of Days Gone, and the bizarre and quite disturbing activities in Zankie Zero: Last Beginning (even though it's not got Z's, it has got clones coming back to life, so meh, close enoug...

We hadn't even made it to Easter before some of the biggest gaming reveals in ages dropped this April, including new Xbox and PlayStation console announcements!  In this episode of The Codec Moments Podcast, Matt, Andy and Ali discuss: Forza Street (not sure why) Xbox One S All Digital PlayStation 5 Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order The Marvel Cinematic Universe, Endgame and Game of Thrones (not really...

If there's one thing that the Codec Moments team are partial to, it's a fighting game... well, one third of the team is at least.  With Mortal Kombat 11 just around the corner it seems an apt time to talk about their experience with the genre, and fortunately Matt's tagged in some support from outside the ring and asked Stuart Cullen and Connor McKervey to lend their wisdom of haduken's and fatali...

It's time to see how people did on their Codec Momentum submissions in March, so Andy, Matt and Ali are back with a live show! Listen to this latest update on the 2019 Codec Momentum submission to find out: Who's at the top Who's at the bottom Who won the prize draw this month When did Andy press 'record' What is the pile of shame themed quiz Why not join our Discord channels to talk games (and ot...

Ubisoft's post-apocalyptic looter shooter has returned with a bang (probably from an exploding remote controlled car), but this time The Division 2 lets us take in the sights and sounds of Washington D.C. In this episode of the Codec Moments podcast, Andy, Ali and the Scottish Sun's Stuart Cullen talk about: The Division and The Division 2 - plot and does it really matter? What’s different to The...

We're not sure whether it's a harmless bit of Facebook fun, or if we've all been suckered into training an NSA database for the purposes of facial recognition; whatever it is, the ten year challenge started us thinking fondly about some of the games we were playing a decade ago. In this episode of the Codec Moments podcast, Andy, Ali and Matt talk about: PSP ports XBLA classics Uncharted 2 Assassi...

Arguably the two biggest online shooters to release in the first part of 2019, and they both come from the EA stable.  Respawn's Apex Legends surprised a lot of people almost coming from nowhere to show off what they could do in the Battle Royale genre, and Bioware's Anthem has been hyped into the stratosphere since it was announced.  They might not be targeted at the same audiences, but when they...

It's come around quickly this month, but that's February for you folks!  In a heartbeat the time seems to have flown by and the chances of getting one of those pile of shame games completed has shrivelled away, but only for some of you it seems.  Two thirds of the Codec Moments team might not have been particularly productive, and it might be the lowest number of entries in a good few months, yet...

There's been quite a bit of gaming going on recently in the team, but what should we expect given how many top tier releases there have been over the last month.  For this episode of the Codec Moments Podcast, Andy, Matt and Ali get together to talk mainly about two that have impressed them the most in the last month - Metro: Exodus and Trials Rising.  Listen to to find out: how you can win an Xbo...

Today marks the general release of DiRT Rally 2.0 - the sequel to the most hardcore rally game we've ever played.  In this special podcast Matt and Ali talk (a lot) about what the game's like and how it differs to the last entries in the series.  It's not all motor sport though, to break things up there's a quiz!  You might regret listening to it though... Listen to this episode of the Codec Momen...
