Jackson has returned and the hosts are joined by fan favourite Adam Carnevale to look at Final Fantasy Resonance DEMO for the Nintendo Switch 2, Terrible Lizards DEMO for the PC and Seven Kingdoms DEMO for the PC. Plus an upsetting Steam reveal, a classic episode of Adam’s Deal Corner and some really good advice in the reviews section. Gaming has never been more back.
