Episode Notes

I'm not going to take the easy joke and do a "the name's podcast, video game podcast" here. I'm not doing it.

We Played...

Euan continues running for loot in hell with Diablo 4 enters the Dark Pictures archives with Directive 8020 and begins Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. More to come from that.

Calum caved and bought into the early access of Heroes of Might and Magic: The Olden Era. We all knew he would.

We both discuss 007: First Light and if IO Interactive can really pull off a more directed single player game. Spoilers, they absolutely can.
