We're back after a bit of a break. Chris, Darran and Thomas follow up the Nintendo DS episode with it's contemporary rival, The PlayStation Portable. Darran and Thomas were in the press at the time so give us their perspective from the magazines and we find out that Thomas was responsible for one the best games on PSP. 

Joining Chris are Ashley Day and Chris Schilling to rank the 3D Mario platformers. Each run their list of 8 from least favourite to favourite before aggregating them into a final and official ranking of the best 3D Mario platformers! 

As a bonus you also get a tiny bit of insight into the Wii era from the perspective of both EDGE and gamesTM!

Unfortunately the latest episode of the show, Ep26 cuts off at 59 minutes, I have tried to edit the original audio again but this has been corrupted. With regret this episode is now lost despite my best efforts to restore it. We will re-record this episode hopefully in the next two weeks. Again I want to say how sorry I am about this.
