So what’s re-united our sorry souls this time? Not just E3. Oh No. There’s a historic ripple on its way tomorrow – a new console! Nintendo are about to unveil their next backwards-compatible-backward-thinking-nostalgia-milk-a-thon-a-what-the-hell-is-the-controller-gonna-be-like-this-time wonder machine.

So, listen in, and be quick about it, because this ‘cast will be relevant for a limited time only. We muse like wild and abandoning philosophers over all the rumours surrounding Nintendo’s new baby. We debate about the place of the Wii in the heart of video-gaming history and conclude, perhaps a little too frankly, that it may have stopped beating altogether.

We also discuss the games we’re totally gazonked (yes, I believe that is a brand new word) about at this years E3 conference including Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Uncharted 3, Mass Effect 3, Skyward Sword and Sonic Generations…

Too many sequels? Don’t worry we noticed and unlike other soulless reviewers, we care enough to provide the most insightful critique on the video-gaming industry this side of tatoonie.

Achievement Unlocked! Podcast #6

The Achievement Unlocked trio return to indulge your ears with a healthy dose of gaming news, reviews and rose tinted nostalgia.

In this episode we discuss our first impressions of Army of Two: 40th Day and Bayonetta for the Xbox 360, muse over the current trend of co-op taking precedence in games such as Resident Evil 5, derail into Sean Bean (as you do) and finally take a fond look back at our wonderful DreamCast playing days (at which point Darryl unexpectantly, albeit briefly, leaves for a lavatory visit).
