Episode 102 – Layton or Wright

episode-102

Paul is off climbing a mountain or something, so this week Ben takes the reins as host! Simone joins us again to talk about her iron-fisted management in Prison Architect, and all the genderly ambiguous green dinosaurs you can handle with Yoshi’s New Island. James says some stuff about Elder Scroll Online again, and totally didn’t throw up when riding a virtual Hoverboard in Hill Valley. Kickstarters, mystery sounds, this episode has it all!

Except Paul. There is very little Paul in this episode.

Crowd Sourcing Picks:

James: No. 2 Game
Simon: Hearth Forth, Alicia
Ben: Salvaged
