I also checked out the Nintendo Direct this week, and I've give you my thoughts on Nintendo's latest news.

This includes FromSoftware's journey to how they made Demon Souls, and the games that followed. I also look at one of the most anticipated games of the year with Hollow Knight Silksong and why you should be excited about it.

I've also been playing great indie title called If Found... one of 2020's most interesting games in this touching interactive novel. I got my hands on Monster Hunter Rise, which is coming for Nintendo Switch in March and I look into the crystal ball for gaming in 2021.

This week I've been resting and relaxing as it's Christmas, so spending my time with family where possible. However, that has given me some time to reflect back on the year in games in 2020, so in this episode, I am going to be running down my personal top 10 games of 2020 and looking back on the year we've had in games.

This week I've been playing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - the prequel to Breath of the Wild coming soon for Nintendo Switch. I've also been playing a very interesting indie game called Teardown, which is a heist/sandbox game from Tuxedo Labs. I've also been playing a whole load of F-Zero for a new entry in my history of series...

Project xCloud isn't going to be on iOS, then Epic adds their own payment system into Fortnite, bypassing Apple and Google's 30% cut. The big tech companies respond by pulling Fortnite from their App stores, leading to legal battles with Apple threatening to remove Epic's Dev Tools. What will happen next?

This week I've been speculating and predicting what we're going to get in the upcoming Xbox Series X Showcase and I've been playing Whispers of a Machine, an excellent point and click adventure game. I was also very lucky to sit down with the lead voice-over artist in the game, Ivy Dupler and we got stuck into the process for VO in videos games, it's a great conversation so look forward to that later in the episode.

This week I've been playing Hyper Scape, a brand new battle royale from Ubisoft which was released into closed beta on Thursday. We've also got some more, exciting news and gameplay from CD Projekt Red about Cyberpunk 2077, so I'll go into reasons why I've added that to my watch list. I also sat down with Marina from Cowleyfornia Studios and we discussed the development on their upcoming narrative adventure game set in Oxford and Bornio called Sarawak, so stay tuned for that.

This bonus episode looks at the mystery audio files released by Bungie on their Twitter account. This new audio file can be compared to a real-life recording of Saturn by Cassini and also provides hints to the next season, season 11. I also look back at clues from Cayde-6 and the past where The Darkness have contacted us before.

This week I've been playing Animal Crossing and I also caught up on the Final Fantasy VII Remake Demo. I was lucky enough to sit down with Rami Ismail, game developer, consultant and advocate of indie games all over the world. I've also been stuck inside, like many of us, so I took a look at some of the best social games out there to keep us social during these interesting times.

This week we’ve had new details from the next-generation Xbox courtesy of Phil Spencer and I run down my favourite games on Xbox Game Pass for PC. The Coronavirus is spreading around the world and also effecting the video games industry too. Finally, we’ve got an exciting new game called Valorant coming from Riot games, a new tactical-hero first-person shooter coming in summer 2020 and I look forward to that.
