I have returned to your ears after a summer break from the show. Back now to muse about video games and such. The PS5 pro revealed, and then revealed again, has it convinced me? Concord cost a lot of money, and I've been playing lots of Ubisoft games such as Star Wars Outlaws, Avatar, and Assassin's Creed - hear some thoughts!

The big news this week was that Xbox is increasing the price of its game pass subscription service, and oh wow did people have a lot to say about this. I talk about my use of game pass, if I feel it still have value, and what else I think might be causing harm to the gaming industry. ALL GOOD FUN.

It's a Father's Day edition of the gaming aroma podcast! I ramble about gaming as a dad, plus give thoughts on all the showcase season hype, or lack thereof - did Xbox have the best showing? I also talk about what I've been playing, in the form of a classic N64 game, and the wild Alan Wake 2 DLC.

After a week break (because who wanted to talk about the games last week), I bid farewell to Hi-Fi Rush and lament the lack of nurturing from Xbox towards Tango Gameworks. Did the Fallout TV show play a part in all this? Plus Call of Duty and Game Pass = price rises. And I talk a lot about what I've been playing, including my NEW XBOX 360 CONSOLE, and the brilliant Jedi Survivor.
