Dragon Quest is an amazing series that I love more and more, and I finally got around to playing the 8th edition which is often called one of the best JRPGS on the PS2. This week I am joined by Keegs. He was playing the PS2 version whilst I was playing the 3DS version.

Finish him!!! It is back to Mortal Kombat where this week I look at the first re-boot they did in MK9. Hot off the re-emergence of fighting games thanks to Street Fighter 4, MK9 was the chance for the series to be back in the spotlight once again.

Do you like eating members of the workforce? Yes, well Abe's Odyssey is for you. One of the early PlayStation one games I played which scared me for how dark it is. A puzzle game (well I think it is) at heart, help Abe escape Rapture Farms and save all his fellow co-workers from being a nice snack.
This week, I am joined by my brother, Phil.
