Duncan reviews Blue Prince, the latest indie darling that has garnered great reviews, and he agrees! We also recap some Switch 2 hands-on for Tom, and the joycon mouse control! Tom has been giving Double Dash on the Gamecube some love in preparation for Mario Kart World!
Tom and Duncan love a bit of Sci-fi TV geekery, so we go through some Star Trek and Doctor Who video game history. One is definitely stronger than the other, but there has been some excellent games over the years.

We talk about our time and favourite parts of being an Xbox 360 owner in the late 'noughties'. From the iconic blades menu, to the Red Ring of Death, we recall life with the 2nd generation of Xbox.
Assassins Creed : Shadows is Out, and therefore so are the morons....critics are liking it though. Bit of ranting, then we discuss the difference between the various AC styles.
Duncan has finished Avowed, and although likes it, reviews a few of the game's negative points, plus how just playing the game you're probably being pretty cruel, even in a 'good' playthrough!

10th March, aka Mar10, is here again, and we discuss Mario, hacks that you should try, from harder, faster Karting, to Sonic blasting around Mario 64. Obscure and generally terrible Mario's have always existed, and we love bringing them up!
After our Mario celebration, Split Fiction is out, and who better to review it than Duncan and Noah, who have been playing it together. Hear the musings of a 7 year old on this absolute banger of a game!

Avowed is Obsidian's fantasy take on The Outer Worlds, and Duncan and Martin are both enjoying it. What's your take on it? Game Pass only, or is it worth the full price?
Balatro was surprise dropped onto Game Pass and Duncan has played it. He's not impressed....but card based games aren't his thing, so opens up the debate of card based video games.

With Martin returning, we have the 3-way battle of the early handhelds, Nintendo's underpowered behemoth, Sega's battery destroyer and Atari's plucky underdog....which wins?

We have a brief hands-on with Avowed, Obsidian's new RPG.
Tom raves over a new AR experience he can't actually talk about, watch this space.

Anybody in school in the early 90s knew you were one team or another, Sega or Nintendo, and whether you boasted about the games, the tech specs, or how grown-up yours was, YOU were always right!
Well, we took one each and tried to sell to each other and you, the listener. Does Sega, and their Genesis/Megadrive, Mortal Kombat blood, Sonic speed and black plastic contours win, or does Big N's iconic mascots and family friendly behemoths catch your eye? Let us know which you picked!

That's not one question, but two topics - Games that relax us, actually have relaxed gameplay, no time limits, no pressure?
Which are your go to for chilling out? Or does the thought of soft music and slow/little gameplay horrify you?
Then we chatted about Playstation getting the Forza Horizon gorgeousness! Is this the biggest IP from Xbox on another console?.....well....yes.
The Sims 1&2 are back from the dead, and has all the DLC packs in 1, Sim-Killing package. Will you be getting it? Let us know!

Nvidia have revealed the 5090 GPU, with a $2000 price tag and AI tomfoolery to make it look like its generations ahead of Nvidia's own last gen offerings, but is it?
We discuss reviews of the tech and whether you should splash the cash!
Xbox had their Developer Direct, including the reveal of the secret unannounced game, which was.....Ninja Gaiden 4. Amazing reveal, or disappointing?
Duncan and Tom then have what was meant to be a quick-fire 'Best Game Per Generation', that turns into podcast-length. Which ones would you agree with, and which will get us cancelled? Find all our episodes at www.FocusOnGaming.co.uk and leave us a like, subscribe, and a review!

Nintendo have attempted to quash the torrent of leaks with a reveal trailer for the Switch 2!
Hardware was shown, with minimal info, just clues to the console's features and first game, with Mario karting round a circuit in the only software reveal.
We discuss what we know from the video and info given afterwards, our hopes and wishes for the as-yet-unknown release date.
We then talk about the fantastic co-op game It Takes Two, and the dev's next game, Split Fiction coming in March 2025.
Martin gives Duncan some advice to play Goldeneye.

Rumours of more Xbox generosity in giving.....Halo(?!?!?) to Nintendo? Will a new, or old, Halo be heading to the new hardware? Well, we'll find out possibly before any Switch 2 announcement at this rate, STILL NO Switch 2 news!
More gaming movies have been announced, and Martin nails the casting for the Horizon Zero Dawn movie. Who would you suggest?
Lego are bringing out a Gameboy set in October, Duncan gives his opinion on the best Lego games available, though generally, you can't go wrong with any of them!

Switch 2 has been leaked so much, it's easier to list what we DON'T know about the future Nintendo device. Innards, cases and joycons are all out in the public now, and we discuss why Big N don't just announce it already!
Sega are thinking about a subscription service, similar to Ubisoft+, EA Play or Game Pass. Depending on cost and content, could this be good, or an expensive retro service?
Notch is back in the news, asking if people want him to make a Minecraft 2 (not in name, just spirit). No. Mojang/MS have that and it's fine, enjoy your $2.5B.
