For people like me, who have spent the last decade playing, replaying, and reading up on all things Metal Gear Solid, the retconned metaphoric mess makes a lot of sense. For those only now jumping in, especially as it...

A British game, inspired by Metal Gear Solid, designed by Mike Bithell. Count me in!

In this week’s show everyone is dead, or near enough. Daniel Hobbs leads a hungover charge into the video game news you need to know. David Treharne’s takes you on a psychedelic trip into the future where your eyes are tv screens and new man Tom Seymour tell us all about himself and why he should be wildest gunslinger in the west. Oh, also Brothers: a tale of two sons is really good apparently....
