This week, to celebrate the new year Chris and Rob are joined by the much missed returning Richard Nattrass (no Mark this week unfortunately as he was on childcare duties). Understandably, bearing in mind the time of year, there was not a lot of gaming news to discuss so other than talking about the ‘free’ games available on PS+ and Games with Gold we mostly go over what Nat’s been up to over his time off and what we’ve all been up to over the Christmas holiday.

Games played and discussed this week include: Red Dead Redemption, ReCore, Outlast, Rory McIlroy PGA Tour, Watch Dogs 2, Gears of War 4, Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, Ys: The Oath in Felghana, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, Tiny Troopers: Joint Ops, Final Fantasy 15, Nier: Automata Demo, Gravity Rush 2 Demo, A Boy and his Blob, Ronin and Firewatch.

This week Chris, Rob and Mark took advantage of the dearth of news in the gaming sphere to record their game of the year show for 2016. As awful as the year has been for everything else it appears to have been quite a good year for games and so the guys manage to witter on for a full two hours about all their favorite games from the year that time will hopefully forget.
