Good lord, it’s a new post and a new podcast too!

The new episode of the this very podcast was recorded on Bank Holiday Monday with just Phil and Duncan hosting as Paul unfortunately could not make it due to work commitments.

There’s too much to list it all but have no fear Duncan and Phil still manage to talk about the Xbox Live Price Rise, Eurogamer Expo 2011, the PS3 hack as well as SirAlan fitting in over 10 games this month plus all the usual competitions.

Probably the shortest episode ever, until we started talking.

Well, July is the quietest month for the gaming industry, nothing ever really happens. However, then we got stuck in and covered so much we still filled nearly ninety minutes of podcast goodness. We discussed, amongst lots of other stuff, the real reason for a 4GB Xbox Slim and the madness behind Starcraft 2 pricing. There’s also a enquiry into why Split/Second has sold so badly and the Retro Tunes competition, sponsored by those lovely people at Boomerang Rentals, rolls over for a second month – the prize fund is now 4200 MS Points (or PSN/Wii equivalent) – can you guess what game theme tune has been covered by the One-Ups?

Lud’alan returns with a plethora of titles, well actually there’s two good titles, two middle-of-the-road and one quite frankly disturbing titles. For your own viewing pleasure these are the games covered this month:

• Mafia 2 – Xbox 360, PS3 and PC
• Kane and Lynch 2 – Xbox 360, PS3 and PC
• Monday Night Combat, Xbox 360 (XBLA)
• Demon Souls, PS3
• Freddy Flintoff’s Powerplay Cricket, Nintendo DS
• Enjoy Your Massage, Nintendo WiiWare

Boidster’s Unique One-Off Monthly competition returns again with a brand new competition and as always the brilliant prize of 2 months Priority Rental Package from Boomerang Rentals – this time though entries need to be placed in the brand spanking new forum! If it was your name that Duncan picked then PLEASE get in touch. Next month it’ll be a lot easier to contact the winners as you’ll be on the forum already.

Boidsters Caption Competition: A link to the TGC Forum

Then the second RoundTable kicks off and we rake over such brilliant topics as Halo Reach singleplayer and Boidster reveals the greatest surprise ever, he won’t be buying Halo Reach. We also discuss the American NPD results for the past few months. As well as all that we cover the loveliness that is the new website and forum, and our brand new TGC Radio nights.

Paul’s competition also rolls over and there’s still the original T-Shirt up for grabs! Just send in your answers, first though listen to the podcast and find the question. You could win your choice of GamerPrint t-shirt, including the lovely new Red Dead Redemption T!

Last but not least we discuss what we’ve been playing over the past month, in a month where we all managed to get some gaming done. Awesomesauce.

Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft all come under the microscope and we leave no stone unturned as we discuss Kinect, Playstation Move and the Nintendo 3DS, as well as all the game news and the exclusives, exclusives, exclusives.
