This week, it's Peter, James, Keith, and me in the PG podcasting booth, bringing you all the very latest news, details on the new releases, and reviews of reasonably old games we've only just got around to playing.

In the news this week, we discuss Draw Something's apparent decline in popularity, Angry Birds Space's rise and rise, and the Rock Band disappearing act (although since this recording, that's been subsequently labelled "a mistake" by EA).

Yet another quality fighting series (King of Fighters) makes an appearance in the mid-week releases, which I use as an excuse to wind Peter up.

What We've Been Playing is a bit of a strange one this time around, for Peter's been getting slightly obsessed about My Horse - so much so that he's been tweeting photos of Marmalade (that's the name of his horse, by the way).

We attempt to steer him away from this path.

Will's obsession with gaming started off with sketching Laser Squad levels on pads of paper, but recently grew into violently shouting "Tango Down!" at random strangers on the street. He now directs that positive energy into his writing (due in no small part to a binding court order).
