Nintendo Switch 2 revealed! Our thoughts
The Switch 2 is here! Well, kinda. Nintendo have officially revealed their brand new console and we break down each little bit to talk what's to come, speculate on launch titles and price. Ooh, it's exciting. Elsewhere we talk to the madness of Sony's live-service games, which are now all cancelled and what the hell is going on with that and discuss whether or not we would pay £100 for Grand Theft Auto 6. In Game of the Week Kat continues her journey through The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Miles is tearing his way through Dynasty Warriors Origins, Josh has checked out The First Bezerker: Khazan demo (available now!) and Rossko is exploring more giant open worlds he hasn't completed with Red Dead Redemption 2.

The Games of the Year 2024
This week on The Finger Guns Podcast it's our final show of the year and as is tradition, we talk about our games of the year and just how great the year has been as a whole. There's plenty of joy here, and it's a stark reminder that underneath the rough year the industry has had as a whole, the games that came out were still pushing video games forward, and how amazing they continue to be. Yes, you can clap and cry now. In Game of the Week, Josh has been checking out cult favourite Slitterhead, Kat has been carrying her game of the year I Am Future, Miles has been jumping between Silent Hill 2, Marvel Rivals, Stronghold Remastered whilst Rossko has been completing Indy and generally playing a bunch of random things including Ale and Tale Tavern and also the best 6/10 of all time, Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

The Game Awards Trailer Predictions + Indiana Jones Impressions
This week on the pod - the podcast we weren't going to do but hey! Here we are, gosh aren't you lucky - Rossko and Kat have a date night talking all about video game news. Erm, there isn't much so we end up talking what trailers we may expect to see at The Game Awards this year and debate if Keighley now has enough pull to get a GTA VI trailer for the show..Talking of GTA, Kat and Rossko debate their GTA VI wishlists and why publishers are scared to announce dates for their games because they don't want GTA to trample on them. But why? We debate having faith in your product against fighting against the Goliaths. In Game of the Week Kat has been playing a fair bit of Among Us and jumping back into her game of the year I Am Future whilst Rossko has cracking whips in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and the cosy yet overwhelming Overthrown, currently in early access. Oh, and he's shared an update about his experience with Spyro The Reignited Trilogy. Hey if you like our podcast why not leave us a review?!

Welcome everyone to another instalment of The Finger Guns Podcast, slightly different this episode as it's me, Josh, taking over the podcasting duties this week. Rossko has had an injury which has meant a short stay at the hospital over the weekend; he's fine overall but maybe send him some well wishes to show he's missed!And boy have we missed him. With me hosting you've got a slightly chaotic and chopped up intro to start but we bring it all back for the news. Insomniac Games have confirmed no more Spider-Man 2 content, God of War's TV show for Amazon Prime is doing a U-turn and oh yeah, we talk about Xbox's Partner Preview that went down last week.I also get to eat some humble pie with Miles' game of the week and we've had a ball with this month's Steam Next Fest. I'm sorry but maybe you're also welcome for this week's episode. Enjoy!Hey if you like our podcast why not leave us a review?!

We're back! Finally after a week off (sorry) the gang are back together as Rossko, Miles, Kat and Josh return to talk the weeks news including Alien Isolation 2, Halo moving to Unreal 5, Microsoft asking devs why they don't like Xbox and Metal Gear Solid Delta mixing it up with their difficulties. It's been quite a week of news and it's been good to get back and wax lyrical about it once again. We missed you guys. In Game of the Week, Josh has been checking out the Bloober Team remake of Silent Hill 2 and is absolutely hype about it, Kat has checked out the really rather lovely fairytale sim Fabledom. Miles, naturally, has played a whole bunch including Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster which has turned out super good along with the latest indie darling RPG / Pokelike Necro Story.
