When good games go bad...

Friday, October 9, 2026 • Duration 57:40

Can one release change the future of a series?

This week, we revisit games whose launch, design or reception had consequences beyond the game itself. Some series found a way back, others still leave us asking what might have been.We discuss Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, Dead Space 3, Anthem, SimCity (2013), Star Wars Battlefront II, Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), Resident Evil 6 and Duke Nukem Forever.

Were the problems in the games, the expectations around them, or the decisions behind their releases?

And when a series loses its way, how much room should a new team have to change it?Which game had the biggest effect on its series, and which one deserves a fairer reputation? Tell us in the comments.

Xbox’s Future: Studio Cuts, Disc to Digital and Sale Rumours

Tuesday, October 6, 2026 • Duration 01:01:07

Xbox is bringing digital access to supported physical games, but what does that mean for the discs we already own? We dig into the Disc-to-Digital announcement, the limits of digital ownership, and whether this makes physical collections more useful or more complicated.We also discuss Xbox's response to sale rumours, the reported World's Edge cuts, the GTA VI collector's-edition conversation, Grasshopper Manufacture's independence, Control Resonant's approach to exploration, and Capcom's use of AI in development tools.

Then we get into what we've been playing, including Control Resonant, Knuckle Jet, Elta: Defy All Gods, Tenebris Somnia and more.Would you claim a digital version of a game you own on disc? Tell us whether you'd keep the disc, sell it, or wait to see how the programme works.

Why Wind Waker and Hades Still Look Incredible

Friday, October 2, 2026 • Duration 57:38

Why do some games still look brilliant years later, while technically impressive games can date so quickly?

This week we look at games where art direction did more lasting work than raw graphical power.We revisit The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Shadow of the Colossus, Journey, Ōkami, Limbo, Return of the Obra Dinn, Cuphead and Hades.

From cel shading and ink brushwork to silhouettes, one-bit graphics and hand-drawn animation, we ask what makes a visual style stick.

We also look at newer games and ask which of today’s releases might still turn heads years from now.Which game’s art style has stayed with you, and which current game do you think will age best? Tell us in the comments.

What have XBOX done now?

Tuesday, September 29, 2026 • Duration 01:05:03

Xbox has announced another major reset: 268 roles are being cut, and a dedicated Activision team is set to develop the next Halo.

Rare and World’s Edge are moving under Activision, Obsidian under Bethesda, and Ninja Theory faces consultation on a proposed closure.

We discuss the people affected and what these changes could mean for Xbox’s games.

We also look at Microsoft’s patent application for context-aware interruptions in games, Rockstar’s $399.99 GTA VI collector’s box without the game, and the other news on our radar.

Then we share what we’ve been playing, including Control Resonant, Silent Hill: Townfall, Hellraiser: Revival, Retro Rewind and Twisted Tower.

Which part of Xbox’s reset concerns you most? Tell us in the comments. We may pick up your view in a future Comment Corner.

Gaming’s Biggest Blunders

Friday, September 25, 2026 • Duration 01:03:32

Which gaming decision was the biggest blunder?

This week, we revisit the launches, policies and business calls that left players asking what the companies were thinking.

From the PlayStation 3’s $599 launch model and the Xbox One’s original online and used-game plans to the Wii U’s muddled reveal, we ask whether these were bad ideas, bad timing or bad communication.

We also debate Nintendo sticking with cartridges for the N64, Sega’s exit from Dreamcast hardware, Guitar Hero overload, Google Stadia and the Vita’s costly memory cards.

Some of these stories ended in a comeback. Others did not.

Which decision would you reverse, and which one do you think gets judged too harshly?

Tell us in the comments, and let us know which blunder we missed.

Was 2010 the BEST Year in Gaming?

Friday, September 18, 2026 • Duration 01:05:56

Red Dead Redemption. Mass Effect 2. Fallout: New Vegas. God of War III. All in the SAME YEAR.

This week on Gaming Views, we revisit eight games from 2010 and ask: were they really that good, or are our memories doing some heavy lifting?

From John Marston’s journey and Commander Shepard’s loyalty missions to Kratos taking on Olympus and Just Cause 2 turning everything into an explosion, we’re looking back at a ridiculously strong year for gaming.

Which game from 2010 would YOU pick? And what did we leave out?

Tell us in the comments — Mass Effect 2 votes are absolutely allowed.

From Zelda nostalgia and Switch 2 scalpers to Blizzard’s returning favourites, there’s plenty to get excited about — and plenty to argue about.

When you buy a digital game, what should “owning it” actually mean? And has Sony made a mistake walking away from PHYSINT?Drop us a comment and it could feature in a future Comment Corner.
