Talking Games

Join Talking Games' two lovable rascals, Matt and Kelsey, as they discuss the relevancy of Kirby, remasters of Mega Man, Burnout Paradise and Spyro, Twitch getting into the Discord business and Barbie getting into the Tomb Raider business!

IT'S TIME FOR THE BIG ONE!! Strap yourself in as Talking Games gets down to the business of Bobby, Kelsey, Justin, Matt and Huw cutting a long list of 2017's biggest and brightest down to a mere 10. What'll make the cut, who'll stand and fight for the games they love, whose games will fall by the wayside and which game in this super stacked of years be crowned Talking Games number one video game of 2017?! It's all come down to this!

Welcome to part one of two of the Talking Games Game of the Year shows. This week sees Bobby, Kelsey, Matt, Justin and Huw debate a series of categories down to a list of five nominees and then decide which of those five are declared the winner. You'll see the early battle lines being drawn and declarations of intent laid out by your hosts when they talk about these categories in readiness for next week's part two: The Talking Games Top 10 Games of the Year! This is one not to be missed!

This week on Talking Games, Kelsey, Bobby, Matt and Huw dive into the games they've been playing. Including Monster Hunter: World, Celeste, Ultimate Chicken Horse and a competitive date night at the arcade for Kelsey. We also discuss the ramifications of Star Wars Battlefront II's missing sales projections and EA's handling of their business of late. All that and we take a dive into the games we're looking forward to this year.

Get Back to Talking Games! This week Matt and Huw take The Long and Winding Road that is video games together without a Little Help From My Friends. It's All Too Much as they chat about Matt's discovery of the musical marvel that is Beatles Rock Band and how it's nigh on impossible to find any peripherals for it, anywhere! Meanwhile, Huw takes us on a journey in his (not so) Yellow Submarine into the aquatic survival game Subnautica. Rounded off with a few news items you should probably check out this week's show, because Tomorrow Never Knows what's round the corner. Okay, I think that was enough Beatles song titles worked into this, don't you? Talking Games is  looking for diverse, talented and interesting people to lend their voice to the show.
