Sean, Mat and James talked over PlayStation's first 'State of Play' presentation live on Twitch, and here it is in audio form. We'd obviously recommend watching the video of our live reactions on our Twitch or YouTube channels, but if you're not able to do that, hopefully this audio version will suffice. Note: Because we used the audio from the stream for this show, the audio quality won't be at quite the same high standard as the weekly pod. We're working on making this much better for the next one.

It’s David’s last proper show and there’s no better way to end it than with the GOTY Draft 2018. The boys sit down to put together their list of the top 16 games of the year and they’re already trying to work out each others tactics.

Everyone's here, but Mat's got a bone to pick with David about his recent performance on another podcast. Other than that, Sean's now a professional gamer, James isn't happy with collectibles, David still has views on Tetris Effect, Mat is playing more games than everyone else, and there's a revelation about 2/3 of the way through the podcast that changes EVERYTHING.

James returns and as usual he's got a few notes on last week’s show that he’d like to discuss with the others. David's been watching a hell of a lot of FIFA 18, Sean's been doing some research on Twitter and Mat's been secretly hammering a game all week that he’s keen to talk about. It’s a long one.

Sean returns this week but it’s not a full squad as James misses out due to work commitments. Sean questions why he’s getting the blame for the holes on James’ back, David hates a game that he can’t stop playing, and Mat is beaming from ear to ear due to a certain Japanese game.

Sean is off again this week but don't worry, it's not another Freeman show as the boys are joined by Gamespot's Global Head of News, Tamoor Hussain. James feels the pressure reading the news in front of a professional, David wants to hear more about Red Dead Redemption 2's HDR mode and Mat contemplates the future of Half-Life.

It’s Halloween and the boys are keen to use scary noises to spook the listeners. They’ve also spent the week with a snake in their boot and announcing that someone has poisoned the water hole. As you’d expect much of this show is dedicated to Red Dead Redemption 2 but that doesn’t stop David and Sean questioning some of Mat’s statements from the week before. Meanwhile James is adjusting to time travel. Games discussed: Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, Fist of the North Star, JYDGE, Space Hulk Tactics, Windjammers, Shenmue LISTEN Apple Podcasts Google Podcasts Spotify Pocket Casts Overcast acast Stitcher WATCH Twitch YouTube CONTACT [email protected] Twitter Instagram Facebook Discord FOLLOW @davidturners @matmurray @jcafarley @CaptainToss DONATE Fancy giving us a donation to help support the show?

David’s off this week, so here it is; a little preview of how TCGS will sound in 2019 when David takes a year off to look after this second child. Oh wait. What’s that? Sean’s also not on the show because he’s suddenly unwell an hour before recording? Ah. Well that just leaves James and Mat to carry the torch and do something for the listeners. I mean sure, James would have liked nothing more than for Mat to cancel and not release a show this week, but unless we’re all dead from a freak schmelting accident, that’s not happening. We’ve got a commitment to the listeners and nothing will ever break that. EVER. Games discussed: Golf Story, Pool Panic, Fist of the North Star, Forza Horizon 4, Black Ops 4, Mark of the Ninja.

Despite being away this week, Sean manages to make an appearance to test out what the show will be like once David leaves. James offers his opinions on wave machines and Mat recalls the time he attended an expo while being dressed for success.
