So this little thing called Xbox One was unveiled this week; can you guess what we’re talking about in this weeks show?
That’s right, it’s a WiiU special!
/end bullshit
We want to know what you thought of the Xbox Reveal in lieu of more information at E3 about games for the system. Do you think it’s the best thing since the 360? Has it turned you on to/off from Microsoft and Xbox? Was there enough information in the reveal? Or was it just a marketing blow out?
Whatever your thoughts on the Xbox One and Microsoft’s handling of the reveal we’d love to hear from you!

A very special show as we reach episode number 50!
Admittedly it should have been about episode 60-ish, but details-schmetails!
This week we covered this lot:
Wow. Fifty episodes. Who’d have thought we’d still be allowed to broadcast the show after fifty episodes!
Tune in tonight at 9:15pm as we go live with the 50th episode of The Games Cast.
Did we mention it’s our 50th show?
We’ll be covering such mind-bending topics as games, controllers, piracy, Nintendo. Er…. do we actually do any planning?

Words can’t begin to describe how much we love Utopian Sandwich’s Chompy Chomp Chomp (here’s a handy link to their website) – there aren’t enough big words in the dictionary to do it justice (we tried spelling superlatives but … hey, we got it right!)
Utopian are a bunch of very talented people and we’re sure there are many more around the country just looking for that bit of exposure to get them going, that first playtest video from a reliable, newsworthy, trusted and honourable video gaming radio show outfit. Unfortunately they weren’t available so you’re stuck with us!
If you’re an independent games developer then we’d love to hear from you. What we’d really like to be able to do is get you on the show so we can talk about your game with you, have a play with your game and maybe even do a short video about it for our YouTube channel. If it ticks our boxes we’ll make sure everyone we speak to knows about your awesome game.
Likewise if you’re putting your game up to KickStarter or Indiegogo, or any of the Steam Greenlight like-services then let us know and we’ll do the same.
All you need to do is get in touch with us by email – show@thegamescast.com - tell us all about your game!
We’ll get back in touch, organise a convenient time to call, have an initial chat before setting by some time for a proper interview and a play of your game!
It’s possibly the most famous line to be uttered before you learn about something stupid/terrible/ridiculous/downright hilarious happening.
Everything was going smoothly until…we deleted our own YouTube Channel.
There isn’t actually a punchline here, because we really have gone and deleted it.
Why? Well because Duncan was suffering from “fat finger” and “slow thinking” syndromes and went and deleted some connected stuff he shouldn’t have; and we can’t reclaim it. So www.youtube.com/gamescastthe is officially dead, which is utterly frustrating as we were starting to get things moving with it.
It’s confession time.
Things have gone a little bit topsy turvy here at TGC towers with the guys seemingly unable to organise a session in a drinking establishment.
That is about to change as, amazingly, tonights edition (22nd March 2013) will feature…………. TWO WHOLE PRESENTERS.
So that isn’t as good as THREE WHOLE PRESENTERS, but hey it’s the best we can do.
Phil and Duncan take the reigns once again as they canter through the fields of gaming discussion. Let’s stop the horse related statements before we get to whips and Paul starts salivating.
It may have taken around 9 months to actually get anything done but we have finally begun an odyssey on YouTube.
Maybe “odyssey” is a bit strong. How about mediocre journey with the odd giggle on the way?
The channel can be found over at http://www.youtube.com/user/GamesCastThe
Here’s the very first episode for your viewing pleasure! Don’t forget to drop us a like on the video and subscribe the channel for more.
The first episode of 2013 has Phil and Paul at the helm, Duncan was unfortunately suffering from a lack of computing power.
We kick off the show by looking at the games we’ve played over the festive holiday. Paul, wait for it, bought Halo 4! And, shock horror, he quite likes it. He also gave Lollipop Chainsaw a good going over (it was just like playing porn) – apparently it’s not very good. There was a brief mention of a devonshire version of Forza Horizon, which is “so-far so-good”. Phil spent the hols playing FIFA 2013, Clash of Clans on the iPad and lots of board games. Paul wins.
Phil and Paul then went on to talk about the various news stories in a quick fire fashion including discussions on GAMEs’ plans for after-hours lock-ins for the Dead Space 3 game. They also talked about the emerging news that Wii U consoles license games to the console and not the user as second hand consoles can download all games bought by the previous owner!
Then we look ahead to 2013 and there’s a quick run down of the games we’re waiting for in 2013. I believe someone mentioned BioShock Infinite.
There’s that plus so much more in Episode 38 of The Games Cast.
