Customer Reviews
My favourite podcast
Let’s be honest, most gaming podcasts are quite mind numbing with fairly bland presentation and a distinct lack of soul. Enter TCGS, having listened to a few of the presenters in various other pod-based adventures I jumped in as soon as I heard about this one and absolutely loved it.
The four guys know their stuff (and when they don’t it’s hilarious) so you know you’re getting informed opinons/experiences while being hilarious and letting their distinct personalities shine through. Everyone knows a Dave, Sean, mat or James which makes TCGS feel quite chill (particularly if you’re British) and like you’re sat around with your mates talking about this stuff. When one is off the caliber of stand-in guests is high and the banter doesn’t diminish.
It says a lot that the only gaming I do is on PlayStation which gets discussed the least relative to the other formats but I still find it essential listening for my gaming news and updates - so long as you aren’t a puritan and have a sense of humour you will absolutely love this podcast and I couldn’t recommend it more if I tried.
Thanks for living it!
Great
I was shocked by the long the running time of podcast when I first subscribed. Now I feel disappointed when it's less than two hours. Great podcast.
Some lovely lovely lads
My dad recently got me into the pod and I’ve started working my way back through the years. I love the boys and love everything they do. you should absolutely give it a try
