We're back! Huge apologies for missing an episode last week - life very much got in the way for all of us - but now Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh are back and we're talking up all the latest news and catching up on what we missed.
First up we all get our teeth into the State of Play from last week, sharing what we thought our favourite reveals were along with stuff we're surprisingly excited by (apart from Rossko, who goes on quite the existential tangent). We all get a little bit hyped for Astro Bot and wonder what on earth Concord really has to offer anyone. Oh, and the other stuff in between.
We also get into the reveal of Call of Duty Black Ops 6, the Game Pass confirmation and the controversy already surrounding the game regarding content. There's a fair bit to get into so we delve in as far as we can without knowing an awful lot. Oh, and Toys For Bob are so obviously making a new Spyro game now that they've confirmed a publishing deal with Xbox. Can you take a guess at who is super excited about that one?
Kat has been checking out Little Hope from the Dark Pictures Anthology, Josh has used his well deserved days off to play cyberpunk roguelite The Land Beneath Us and Miles has finally got his hands on Hades II and well, he likes it alot. Oh, and Rossko has turned on his Xbox and played the glorious Hypercharge Unboxed!
In recommendations Miles has finally seen The Boys (well the first few eps), Josh is recommending a Netflix show called Scavengers Reign, the animation that everyone is talking about and it finally gets to us (we get to all the cool stuff...eventually). Rossko wants everyone in the world to check out the brand new Eminem track and Kat watched most of the new J-Lo film Atlas..but not all of it.

This week it's another rough one for news so the gang (the gang being Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh) get together to talk everything 2024 so far and what our highlights and lowlights have been along with our possible Game of the Year so far (hint: we all pick exactly the same one). Whilst it's been a quality year for games so far it's been a very difficult one for the industry, and we do our best to celebrate what those amazing developers have made for us whilst raising a glass to those who have been unceremoniously removed from their jobs along the way.
In our one bit of news (ironically announced minutes after we finished up last week) we talk the announcement of Assassin's Creed Shadows, the brand new iteration of the series and the very first set in Japan. We like what we're hearing so far coming from the Ubisoft camp about this one, so hopefully there's plenty to get excited about in this upcoming entry. Will it get the naysayers back on board? We discuss. Oh, and the traditional question quiz returns and it's absolute bloody chaos from question one as ever. You've missed it, right? Tell us you have, we didn't go through that for nothing, we hope.
In Game of the Week Josh talks about the top down puzzler Paper Trail, Miles has very nearly completed Senua's Saga: Hellblade II and tells us all about it (along with the super fun Galacticare) and Kat is back on her Dead by Daylight train whilst Ross is getting hyped for the next season of Fortnite. Who knew?!
In recommendations Kat does NOT recommend watching the Uncharted film (we've been sayin'), Miles recommends POOLS, a game that's not a game but is a game but it's cool (reviewed now on Fingerguns.net!), Josh has been checking out The Curse on Paramount+ whilst Rossko finally gets to talk about Doctor Who for a bloody change and it goes about as well as you can imagine..

We're back once again to talk all things video games and probably Taylor Swift in episode 252 of The Finger Guns Podcast. Join Rossko, Miles and Kat as they dredge through the weeks news which is primarily focused on the fallout of Microsoft huge studio closures from last week and what the hell came next.
First up, Xbox president Sarah Bond came out to try to defend the companies decision to sack hundreds of employees through closing award winning studios and breaking down award winning companies so yeah, there's that. Oh and Xbox announced, the day after closing Tango Gameworks (the one who made BAFTA-winning small game Hi-Fi Rush) that they want to focus on games which are small and award winning. You couldn't make this up, we are truly bereft with Xbox right now. They've certainly fudged around and found out, indeed.
Oh, and there's a third Jurassic Park Evolution on the way and Miles is, weirdly hyped? We find out more. A FLYING T-REX.
In Game of the Week Miles has been playing Dredge and the latest rhythm shooter that we call Robobeat while Kat has stuck out Fallout Shelter for a second week running whilst Rossko has been checking out Crow Country and the wonderful Animal Well.
In recommendations Miles talks up the latest Saw movie, Kat recommends the Natural History Museum (don't get married there though, tis pricey) and Rossko wants everyone check out the demo for the lovely little indie Fishbowl.
Oh, and don't miss Kat's Candy Crush Saga story. It's one for the ages.

Crow Country is a retro-inspired survival horror.

The Finger Guns Podcast returns after a week off with the full team back back back to get into the weeks news and well, there's a fair amount of it this week. First up, a few hours before we recorded Microsoft announced that they have closed Hi-Fi Rush developer Tango Gameworks and Redfall's Arkane Austin. We talk about this shocking reveal and what the bloodyhell is going on with Xbox right now and what - if anything - they have planned for the future.
On the other side of the war PlayStation have another rough week culminating in a rather surprising u-turn after the huge backlash of announcing that Helldivers II Steam players will need to have a PSN account in order to keep playing. Sony have announced this will no longer be the case, much to the celebration of gamers around the world. At least 100,000 of them, at least.
We also get into what we'd like to see from Resident Evil 9 and if we really need a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster after the original game is being taken down from PS Plus this month.
In Game of the Week Josh has been checking out Another Crabs' Treasure, Kat has been checking out the glory of Fallout Shelter thanks to the TV show whilst Miles has nerded out in King Arthur Legion IX. Rossko has been checking out Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas (for the first time ever?!) and a glorious little footy RPG called Bang Average Football.
In recommendations Kat talks Queenpins, the Kristen Bell fronted film which is now on Netflix, Miles talks about Hexguardian and Harvest Hunt, a roguelike horror game from the glorious folk at Neonhive. Josh talks about the glorious new film from Alexander Payne, The Holdovers whilst Rossko recommends not watching Strays. Yikes.
