Don't worry. We don't actually talk about Tifa's boobs, or the ridiculous controversy surrounding them. Much.
We have a great podcast for you this week! There's so many horror games releasing at the moment, so we talk about that, and then we also chat about My Friend Pedro and the old bugbear it raises - the question of violence.
This week we also try out a new feature, listing out our three favourite games within a specific genre. This week we're talking about sports games, but if there's any particular genre that you ever want us to chat about, let us know in the comments!

So, how good was E3 this year? Well, it was great if you were a fan of Nintendo and retro games... but was there much more to this year's show?
In our post-E3 wrap and debrief, we talk about everything that excited us in the show, what we're looking forward to playing, and what the biggest highlights were.
Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you all next week!

We recorded this podcast just before E3 kicked off so, with the event now fully in swing, what did we expact to hear about, what are we looking forward to, and what will we be focused on?
Without Sony, E3 this year is certainly going to be different! But there's still plenty to get excited about, and already so much announced, with more to come.
Let us know what you're looking forward to this year, what you've enjoyed seeing, and what games are hot on your "to do" list now! Thank you as always for tuning in, and we'll see you at the next podcast where... no doubt we'll have plenty more to say about E3.

On this week's episode, we have a talk about the surprise announcement that Kojima's Death Stranging will release this year, in November. There was a new trailer for it, and Alan and Matt get into a bit of verbal fisticuffs over whether Kojima's all he's cracked up to be.
We also talk about Pokemon, with four new Pokemon announcements happening last week. Is Pokemon Sleep worth getting excited for? What about a new Detective Pikachu title for Switch? There's something in there for everyone.
Thanks as always for tuning in, and do let us know if there's ever anything you'd like to hear us chat about on Digitally Uploaded!

Can you believe we're already halfway into the year? Where has 2019 gone? Anyway, with June just around the corner, we chat about the (many) interesting games that will be coming out in and around E3.
As this week saw the release of Team Sonic Racing, we also talk about that... and why developers seem to struggle so much to compete with Nintendo in that genre. Finally, Octopath Traveler is coming out on PC soon, so we take a look back at why that game is so wonderful.
Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you next week!

We've finally convinced Alan to take another swing at Final Fantasy XII, now that it's out on Nintendo Switch, and he's enjoying the heck out of it.
We also have a chat about the names that game developers give games... because frankly, a lot of publishers don't do a good job there. What makes a video game title good, and why do so many developers and publishers get that wrong?
Finally, we also chat about NISA's latest one, and talk about all kinds of weird stuff besides.
Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you next week!

Sony held a PlayStation State of Play last week, so we talk about what we saw in there, and whether Sony has its event formula nailed down properly yet (it probably doesn't).
We also have a good chat about spoilers, and whether people are starting to take that too far (they probably are). Finally, in the wake of Ubisoft going out there and actively claiming that its new Tom Clancy game "isn't political," when it quite blatantly is, we have a good laugh at how sour the discource around politics in games has turned.
Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you next week!

The next big fighting game to land on the scene, Mortal Kombat XI, released recently, and we've been playing it pretty hard. This week we take a look at that game and, of course, its infamous violence.
We also chat about the (many) games releasing in May. It's going to be a good month, so get ready to add to that backlog!
Thanks as always for tuning in, and we look forward to seeing you next week!

It was a huge week for Persona news last week, so naturally that dominates the chat we had on the podcast!
We also took the opportunity to chat on about Yoshi, given the recent new game and the fact we hadn't had the chance to talk about that until now. Finally, we talk about survival games. The worst genre (not really, but we do talk about some of the issues that we have with it as a whole).
Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you next week!

We have a special guest this week, with Lachlan Snell, the Aussie developer behind the recent JRPG/visual novel blend, Alluna and Brie, jumping on to tell us all about his new game, from its Aussie humour to its stylish blend of Persona-style storytelling and copious fanservice.
We also chat about the slivers of information that have been emerging about the PlayStation 5, and the newest Smash Bros. DLC - Joker from Persona 5! Is he good? You betya.
Thanks as always for tuning in, and we'll see you at the next podcast!
