Our "definitive" SEGA characters podcast went so well we decided to do the same for characters created by Nintendo. Keith's in the hotseat for this one. Where will Mario, Link, Bowser and Luigi rank... Is your favourite Nintendo character listed?

Why a top fifteen? Because, er, that's how many Adrian could find! Warning: there are NO ATARI CONSOLES IN THIS LIST. I repeat. NO ATARI. Just kidding! Nintendo, SEGA and SNK are also listed, but which unreleased console had the most potential?

James takes us on (possibly) one of his last ever whistlestop tours of a gaming genre. However, this time Adrian has managed to strongarm him into doing both the fighting and beat 'em up genres at the same time. We think he did a fab job.

Seeing as the last days of the podcast are on the horizon, we're unleashing our inner demons. Those being our love for modern gaming! Yes we've done this before a bit, but this time we're making James host it while taking Steve hostage in Adrian's absence.

J covers the best of what's coming up for modern day (trying not to say 'current gen') gamers while we have a good ol' rant about what modern games we're loving and not loving so...

It's time for another "definitive" list - this time we compile our 20 favourite characters created by SEGA. Sort of.

Keith and the gang finally open up the can of worms/mushrooms that is The Last of Us. Naughty Dog's behemoth has been wowing gamers since its release on the PS3 in 2013, but how good is it?

Also seems a good time to discuss HBO's slick small-screen adaptation. Here's 2.5 hours of TLOU goodness. And we might just discuss the sequel later this year.

What a year for gaming 2004 was! Half-Life 2, Halo 2, lots of games that don't have '2' in. Adrian brings all of them to the table along with the comings and goings in TV, movies, and music charts of the year. But, is it truly the best year for video games?!
