127: Native 4K
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.

126: Make Better
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.

121: Takes to the Ocean
It’s a big one this week. Not only is it the final episode before our live show at EGX this coming Saturday, but a lot has happened since the last recording. Spider-Man’s mysterious backpacks? Solved. That Spider-Man proposal? Dealt with. The fact that Mat and James thought they were more important than David and Sean and could do whatever they liked and upload an episode of Interface on the TCGS feed and therefore disrespecting everyone associated with the show not to mention every single listener? Very much dealt with. So strap in and settle down to another episode of The Computer Game Show. Sean is also on the show. Games discussed: Black Ops 4, Forza Horizon 4, FIFA 19, Rocket League, Shenmue, Yakuza Kiwami 2, Destiny 2: Forsaken EGX 2018 Watch The Computer Game Show LIVE at EGX 2018 on Saturday 22nd September.
