I'm still laughing about this. No respect.

Coming tomorrow! The return of Games Court. Will Judge Castle punish the listeners for their second-hand purchases, or be merciful? Bit of both, honestly. Here's a preview from Judge Castle's opening speech:

Saw the opening night of A Man For All Seasons at Bath Theatre Royal. A treat. Like watching a Rashomon retelling of Wolf Hall, only this time Thomas More and Norfolk seem entirely likable. Gary Wilmot an inspired choice as the narrator guiding history dummies like me through.

Lucky old PlayStation owners finally getting some Forza Horizon action. Easily the most reliably enjoyable Xbox series of the last decade. Thundering down those mountains in FH5 are some of my happiest gaming memories of the last few years.

Saw Doubt at Bath's Ustinov - the perfect intimate space to get locked in a room for 90 minutes in that fog of increasingly poisonous accusations. Being that close to performances as convincing and complete as Ben Daniels and Maxine Peake's is such a treat. Loved it.

Here's a cool Kickstarter thing: a game discovery web app, with the option to help shape its suggestions by plugging in specialists in certain genres. I'm hoping to offer some detective game takes in the final app, but loads of cool people are involved. kickstarter.com/projects/ludoc…

Huh. Just last night we recorded our GTA Vice City replay episode and pondered the likelihood of Kent Paul returning in GTA6. At least they're still pals...

This image from new Othello production has big 'staff writer talking to unimpressed publisher at Future Christmas party' energy.

You gotta love a horrible piece of shit having a terrible day. More! More!

Few things are more exciting than a new Nintendo console reveal, and the wave of games it brings. Even though my mag days are long behind me, part of my brain still thinks 'today is going to decide how easy/hard our next few years are going to be'. Wouldn't have it any other way.

This rules.

Don't worry, Switch 2 is good.

This is just I Love You, The Kidnapper from Pitch, Please.

I'm going to conjure up some words for this. Nice to see it get funded so quickly.

Such a fun chat. All the mag stories you'd hope for, plus I grill Geraint on being the world's biggest Battleborn fan.

Saw Rachel Zegler do her Evita thing from the balcony. Extremely good vibes in the street: hundreds adopting a polite hush, no jokers trying to make it about themselves, and she really belts it out. Impressive, but also quite funny being able to see a Five Guys below her.

never forget LAST NIGHT IN SOHO is all I'm saying

I got to wear my Nintendo reviewing hat again. Donkey Kong Bananza: what a treat! Sells you on the pleasure of destruction for destruction's sake, but soon spins that out into a romp every bit as creative as Mario Odyssey. theguardian.com/games/2025/jul…

Glasgow chums, heading up for a weekend break and looking for some killer food recommendations. What are your gems (hidden or otherwise)?

Hopefully we did some justice to this excellent game.
