We cannot stop playing Gears of War E-Day
Gears of War E-Day finally lands and it does exactly what we hoped: it looks incredible, it feels punchy, and it sends our adrenaline through the roof. We talk through our first hour with the campaign, what works straight away, and why the multiplayer can leave you feeling like you’ve chugged a stack of energy drinks. If you’ve been waiting for a big Xbox Game Pass moment, this is the one we can’t stop thinking about.
We also go to the other extreme with Nintendo Switch 2 and Pokémon Pokopia, a cosy, zen take on the Pokémon universe that’s all about rebuilding, attracting Pokémon, and playing at your own pace. From there we get into what we’ve been playing across platforms, including Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resync, Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy, Wolverine on PS5 Pro, and the tactical highs and frustrating difficulty spikes of Star Wars Zero Company.
Then we get a bit too real about collecting, because Controller Corner returns with limited edition hardware, plus a warning sign for anyone tempted by vinyl and gaming merch. We also unpack Disc-to-Digital, the future of physical games, and the uncomfortable backdrop of industry layoffs, including concerns around Xbox studios even as Gears launches to strong reviews. Add in Uncharted rumours, the argument for longer console generations, and a chunky free 007 First Light DLC update, and you’ve got a packed gaming podcast that balances hype with the bigger questions.
