Tom’s been out to Viborg Animation festival and not only tried an Oculus Rift, but a fun new indie title called ‘Stikbold’. Mat’s been doing some general faffin on the the Gameboy, all the while working on a terrible David Bowie impression…

28_09_14.jpg

logo_coloured On this week’s TMA, the boys tackle the serious issues affecting gamers today.

Other than the usual tosh about plastic instruments, the boys discuss Destiny, Dragon Ball: Revenge of King Picallo, as well as the new Smash Brothers Demo on the 3DS! Cor!
