After technical difficulties strike, Ollie and Hamish have to do a quick round-up of the week's game news. Bethesda got bought by Xbox?? What a shocker! Could a Konami acquisition help out Sony, or are there games not quite big enough? (Maybe PES is!) And what do we do when we finish a game? Do we delete them to clear up space or do we keep them for nostalgia? Find out in the latest episode!

Ollie and Hamish are back to go through the latest gaming news, including the Fall Guys charity auction, PUBG getting banned in India and the huge Mario 35th Anniversary Nintendo Direct! In this episode of the gaming podcast, they ask what it means for a game to be a remake? How does the Mario 3D All-Stars collection compare to the Spyro Reignited and Crash N-Sane Trilogies? Was the Mario 35th Anniversary Direct worth the wait? Enjoy the episode!
This week Ollie and Hamish live-streamed a brilliant show but didn't record it..... So you'll have to wait just a teeny weeny bit longer for them to be back! Follow our Instagram for more details!!
