Hold on to your butts, it's a big one. The whole crew gather round in this monster episode as we begin to tackle the question: what are the best games of the past decade? In this episode we whittle the list down, many great games were cut, feelings were hurt, friendships irrevocably damaged. In the next episode we tackle the unenviable task of ordering a top 10 games of the decade.

“Where I come from, ghosts don't take things lightly.”

Winter is well and truly here and with it comes the lurgy. Everyone on the team is ill and rather than subject you to an episode full of sniffing and coughing we decided to take a week off to recover. So to fill the gap here is one of our favourite episodes from the archive, first broadcast in April 2018.

Mark is joined by a crack team of international assassins from both Lapsed Gamer Radio and part of the wonderful Codec Moments podcast to discuss both HITMAN cinematic excursions. Join the team as they play "International Crime Fighting Circles" Top Trumps and watch as the Silver Surfer appears on "If You Can’t Pay, We Take It Away"...
