ExplicitSPOnGcast 18: FIFA, PES, Absolutely no Taliban | Mat discusses the highs of Bulletstorm and the disappointment that was Crysis 2 at the Eurogamer Expo. EA faces SPOnG's 'we're not angry, we're just disappointed' face in a 'goat or boat' session over the Taliban/Opposing Force debacle. Svend weighes in on Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, while Mark provides a n00b's-eye view. FIFA 11 is put in the inevitable cagefight against PES 2011. Paul has no doubt which way he swings, Mat may be in denial about his preference... Sonic 4! How Minecraft can ruin your life and make you a nightclub owner. Svend has a bit of a chin-wag with Platinum producer Atsushi Inaba about Vanquish. Plus: Daily Fail!

ExplicitSPOnGcast 17: Move, Reach, Michael Jackson, APB... | The chaps chat about Move and Halo. Svend goes to Cologne. Mark talks Dead Rising 2. The attack of the Michael Jackson fanboys brings Nirvana and Courtney Love into the frame. We want FantaVision for Move. Ape Escape get mentioned too. We also manage to ask, "Should people who have never played a franchise be able to review a game from that franchise?". In between all this, well, the chat goes very, very inappropriately in the direction of Nintendo's sadly departed Cammie Dunaway... We also tackle the thorny issue of how you get a refund on an MMO that failed. Contact us at: podcast@spong.com Oh, and here's what we drew during this podcast: a Bear Pig, a Monster.

ExplicitSPOnGCast 16: It's illegal to hate Portal! | With Halo Reach in the headlines and Mark on holiday, we descend into discussions of jetpacks, Portal hatred, our sponsor - Nottingham Game City - Hooters, and famous actors in games, what's the point of them? Why, we want to know, did Sony launch Move in the same week as Microsoft launched Halo Reach? Is Apple's Game Center doomed to fail or will the iPad and iPod Touch kill PSP and DS in a savage attack? Also listen to Paul get shouted down before he finally snaps. And a warm welcome to Game Media Awards nominee and ace games writer, Lauren Wainwright.

ExplicitSPOnGcast 15: Blast Shard OCD | Post-Gamescom 2010, Mark shares his thoughts on the event along with his interview with Kinect Creative Director, Kudo Tsunoda. Mat "comes out" with his completist OCD and reveals something unexpected about PS3 Move. In this week's Rayment's Payments, Paul sticks it to THQ over plans to make pre-own gamers pay extra to play their games online. Kinect "no voice control" storm in a teacup dissected, and the issue of misleading marketing hype & fallacies surfaces. Again. Svend, freshly bankrupted after his Summer of Sonic event, recalls his Rockaoke performance at the Wii Sing Encore event, getting an "Marvel vs Capcom" arse kicking from the game's producer Ryota Niitsuma, opting not to play the Taliban man in MoH and becoming heavily addicted to Valkyria Chronicles 2.

You'll get a flavour of Summer of Sonic, why the hell things are priced as they are. How GameCity works... and a heap of other fun stuff. Running time: 01:39:42 | 8 8 10 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitSPOnGcast - the Kinect Pricing WTF?! one | We talk positively about videogames again! We also become confused about why Microsoft's man in Holland should say that Sony doesn't give a sh*t about Move. We also have words regarding the fact Tim Schafer is a very nice man. We try and decide what Mark is going to get up to at GameCom in Cologne. Mat talks about getting married. And we all talk about how the Xbox 360 S in the corner of the office is getting on.

We'll, the Internet did, but we got there first. Find out what it's definitely going to be called... as far as we're concerned. Also, Red Dead Redemption, is it all that? Or is it just GTA IV with horses (clue, no it isn't one of those). Find out what is getting Pete Donaldson's goat. Find out what comics are floating Mark's boat.
