Xbox One beat the PS4 for console sales in December. It could be something to do with the release of the more powerful Xbox One X console. Or it could be something to do with the launch of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds on Microsoft’s console, the first major exclusive Xbox has had in a while.

They Are Billions arrived in Early Access on PC at the tail end of last year and its already picked up some serious popularity online on sites like Twitch, pushing it to the tops of the Steam and Humble Bundle sales charts. But what is this Age of Empires-inspired game? How does it reimagine old-school RTS design? And why the hell is it so cool? Mike and Jake discuss.

Activision, one of the games industries biggest publishers, has shut down its one and only distribution centre for physical games in the US. Why of they done this? What could this mean for the future of physical games sales? Mike and Jake hop into the mystery machine (gassed up by Liam) to find out. See, Liam wrote the script, yeah? So that’s why he gassed up the metaphorical Mystery Machine, which, as the hosts, Mike and Jake are driving. Ok. Just so we’re clear.

Avalanche is working on six projects at the moment. The company, best known for open world games like Mad Max and the Just Cause series, is working on Just Cause 4, helping out on id Software’s Rage 2, has its own self-published game Generation Zero and three other projects in the works. Here’s how it’s managing to do all that while staying pretty much independent.
