Building Our Own Video Game Publisher - Episode 11

In episode 11, Connor's got a scenario for us - you are given a blank cheque and asked to create a new video game publisher, acquiring who you want and creating what you want. What do you do? Do you go full Xbox and buy out the big boys like Activision for that sweet Call of Duty revenue? Do you poach talent from multiple studios to create a new, cutting edge developer? Or do you take a famed studio like Rockstar and make them create something entirely different? Listen as we share our ideas for our dream video game publisher!

We are BACK! - Checkpoint Radio Hall of Fame Part 2 - Episode 10

The HoF is our very own list of the most iconic and memorable games we've ever played, the absolute cream-of-the-crop, and the titles we think deserve to be immortalised forever.Possibly the best game from the last generation and one that certainly holds up better than many triple A releases today - listen and enjoy as we discuss what makes Rockstar's "magnum opus" Red Dead Redemption 2 so good and why it joins Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty as the second entry in the Checkpoint Radio Hall of Fame.

The Xbox Games Showcase and Starfield Direct - Episode 09

It was Xbox's time to take the stage, as their 2023 Showcase aired with a number of announcements, lots of gameplay from upcoming games, some new hardware, and of course, a 50 minute long Starfield extravaganza. Luckily for us, the showcase aired just before our usual scheduled recording, so as a group, we watched the showcase, and then went straight into recording for our fresh and ripe opinions and observations. Join us as we discuss all this and more! Click here to see our socials, YouTube and join our Discord!

Was the PlayStation Showcase Disappointing? - Episode 08

PlayStation has not held a showcase of any kind for two years. So, when they announced recently that they were doing a big May blow-out of video game announcements, the hype quickly hit 11. Unfortunately, we saw little in terms of first party reveals, and instead were bombarded with a bunch of third party games, some weird new hardware (seriously, though, PlayStation earbuds?!) and some VR stuff. We did, however, get a really good look at Spider-Man 2, which looks as promising as we all thought it would. Also in this episode: Overwatch 2 bin off a big new single player mode, and what's going on with The Last of Us' delayed multiplayer? Join us as we discuss all this and more!

Redfall Is Terrible and Xbox Is In Trouble - Episode 07

Redfall was pushed as a major AAA release for Xbox, and the first fully exclusive Bethesda title for Team Green. After a year-long delay, the pressure on Arkane Austin to deliver was absolutely huge, but unfortunately, the revered studio fell well short of its usual high standards. Redfall is a disaster and there is not much else to say about it. In today's episode, we chat a bit about the game, and talk in depth about what's going on at Xbox, whether Phil Spencer is to blame or not, and if there is any reason for Xbox players to be optimistic.

The Last of Us Series Review. A Faithful Adaptation? - Episode 03

The Last of Us is one of the greatest video games of all time, and questions marks over a possible live action adaptation have been lingering for years.
