It's been a month, but we're back with Episode 59!

Nintendo Switch OLED Model - hands on, review and rating.
Metroid Dread Review and rating.

Thoughts on two new movie trailers:
-Uncharted
-Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City

God of War (2018) is releasing on PC and Sony fans are pissed off. Adam explains why they shouldn't be and why it's a good thing.

IKEA joins up with ASUS to release a range of gaming furniture and gaming accessories.

Sony has threatened Dbrand (the company that released custom PlayStation 5 plates and dared Sony to sue them). Dbrand responds with a new design and argues why they have the right to make and sell what they want.

The Nintendo Switch Online service is receiving what is called an "Expansion Pack", which will include a range of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) games to the service - alongside the NES  and SNES. Gamers are not happy the massive price increase.
Nintendo announce wireless/Bluetooth N64 and Genesis controllers to enhance the gaming experience with the new library of retro games on the Switch Online service. Scalpers take advantage of it and wipe out all of the controllers in minutes. 

CD Project Red delay the next gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. They promised these games would be out by the end of 2021 - gamers are pissed.

The Golden Joystick is coming and Game of the Year nominations are in.

A chat about Back 4 Blood, World War Z: Aftermath and a few other games we've recently been playing.
