Aches and Games

Written by: Giles Nicholson James Hopes
  • Summary

  • A relaxed catch-up between two *slightly older* British friends, talking about life, gaming (and basically whatever other nonsense comes to mind). We're currently playing on Xbox, PlayStation 5 plus a bit of PC and Nintendo Switch action. Our regular catch-up episodes drop every first Friday of the month. Special episodes on big topics or news drop "as and when" (also on this feed).

    Hi everyone!

    Welcome to February's "Aches & Games monthly".

    As well as what we’ve been playing, watching and getting up to since our last time together, we discuss Synth Riders - January's game of the month and our first ever VR choice. Plus we talk about the recent Developer Direct from Xbox, the Switch 2 reveal and PlayStation's seemingly quiet year to come.

  • Hi, we're Aches & Games!
    Feb 5 2025

    A monthly check in between two slightly older British friends chatting about what we've been doing, playing and what's happened in the gaming world.

    Plus, the feed also had special episodes covering things like our games of the year, favourite gaming memories and reactions to the biggest gaming announcements and stories.

    Why not give us a try, thanks!

    Jan 3 2025

    Hi everyone!

    Welcome to our first ever "Aches & Games monthly" - which you might recognise as just a slightly tweaked version of our regular monthly catch-up show.

    As well as what we’ve been playing, watching and getting up to since our last time together, we discuss Indiana Jones & The Great Circle (December's choice for game of the month), this month's choice and our highlights from The Game Awards. Enjoy!
