About this listen

There are so many great new video games released each year and gamers are pulled in so many different directions by the abundance of options, but have significantly less time to play than ever before, between work, other entertainment, other activities and life in general. This has led most gamers to build up some degree of a backlog of games and the need to then decide which game to start next. Rather than staring at your library of available games, join Alex and Andrew as they lead conversation around a single video game at a time, following a traditional "book club" format and chatting each week about the most recent chapter or section.© 2025 Science Fiction
