GamesRadar UK Podcast 020 - German Weasels
The one where Gamescom has happened
We're back! Told you so. And there you were thinking we had run away. Well, Cundy returned from holiday and I am back from Gamescom in Cologne, Germany where I saw loads of things. You'd think I'd be able to get a word in edgeways this time, wouldn't you? Yeah, I thought that too... never mind, this is one hell of a tight podcast this time round thanks to having to work to a schedule. Streamlined. Sensual. Oooh.
Besides the Gamescom anecdotes, there's another cracking (pun intended, folks) Towell Joke Factory, a return outing for Houghton Agrees (mmm, yes, uh-huh, etc) and some rather exciting news about GRID 2. Well, exciting for me, at least.
