Final Games

Hey hey! No new Final Games episode this week, due to being in Tokyo last week. But, I would like to tell you about something happening this Friday! I'm going to be doing my first ever live stream over on Twitch. Lots of people have asked me to do a Q&A video, so I thought I would just do a Q&A live stream and play some games at the same time. SO, gonna be answering questions about the show, guests and games. As well as actually playing games that have featured on the show. It'd be cool if you could join! www.twitch.tv/FinalGamesTV @LiamBME @FinalGamesShow finalgamespodcast@gmail.com

Joining Liam this week is former Xbox LIVE Editor and co-host of SentUAMessage, Dan Maher. The, now, Editorial Director of Explosive Alan Productions tells some incredibly interesting stories of his gaming past and recalls tales that revolve around each of his eight games.
