One appropriately from the This Game Where vaults this week with Immortals: Fenyx Rising, a game that sees you take on the might of Greek myth to help out the pantheon of Olympos against a less than savoury big bad who has crawled out of the bowels of the earth. It's a real treat for anyone who likes to explore, but especially if any of the classic mythologies has ever captured your imagination. Find out exactly what this game has going for it by listening in!

Have you ever wanted to be the guy that gets everyone 'away' in a 'getaway'? It's definitely the main part, so you almost certainly have! This week, Chris tries to explain to Ashley why 'getting away' in Driver was a formative aspect of his childhood, and it involves another heartrending tale of lost friendship, so bring your tissues.

Have you ever wanted to blast your way through a flurry of protozoic lifeforms with little to no narrative reason for doing so? That's exactly what Chris and Ashley have been doing this week with the help of the Bitmap Brothers and their game, Xenon 2 for the Sega Master System. A fast-paced, chaotic take on the shoot'em up, the game apparently has the player leaping across epochs to thwart the destructive plans of the Xenites who, at least in the Master System version of the game, aren't really mentioned outside of the manual. But none of this is to say that the game can't be good, but is it? Listen in and find out!

Happy birthday to us! To celebrate our centenary, we've gone off-piste to discuss what we both agree is the best console of all time - the Nintendo Wii. Listen to us talk about our favourite games, those that we missed out on, the weird and wonderful peripherals and our most treasured memories of the console.

Chris and Ashley are island-hopping this week with Monkey Island 2, a bona fide classic and one of the most venerable entries of the early 90s adventure games set. Even if you've never played it, you have almost certainly heard of it, so join us and find out why it's still so worth playing after three decades!

Chris and Ashley have barely ever played any of the previous FromSoftware fare but, when the reviews started hitting throughout Thursday, Ashley started to get a little tingle he hadn't felt for quite some time and he plonked himself firmly on the bandwagon. Even then, though, he didn't anticipate that the game would impress him so thoroughly that he would absolutely have to talk to Chris about it. So, whether you are yet to set foot on the hills and dales of Limgrave, or you have already carved a bloody path across The Lands Between, press play to find out just how Elden Ring grabbed hold of Ashley so hard.

DC Super Hero Girls: Teen Power on the Switch is a surprisingly good game; in this episode, Chris explains to Ashley just why that's the case. Along the way, though, there are debates about social media for children, the perils of consumerism and accidental sexism. Bet you weren't expecting that! Listen in to find out our thoughts on these - alongside discussions of the brawling, exploration and RPG elements of the game, of course.

The Game Boy Advance was the console that just wouldn't stop, and Kuru Kuru Kururin was just one of the places it began when it released alongside the handheld in 2001. The game is a unique puzzley-mazey affair in which a pastel-coloured flock of bird cousins is kidnapped and the lone left-behind tasked with saving them. He ventures out in his helirin to navigate through a bunch of tight corridors in the hopes that his cousins will be at the other end. We're not saying it makes that much sense, but then it doesn't always have to, does it? Listen in to find out what makes this game such a high-flyer.
