Console Wars 2016

Video Games

This week on the show, it’s all about Console Wars! With the Nintendo Switch launching in March, consumers only have two real options this Xmas, with the Xbox One and the PS4 the contenders. They both boast their own feature sets and exclusive titles, so which one should you be adding to your gaming library this year? Archer, Tom and PC fanboy Elliot discuss their thoughts on the pros and cons of each console; which one would you suggest?

Also, the news of the week is discussed as The Game Awards took place just days prior and Kev gives his review of Just Dance 2017! It’s all here in another episode of your favourite video game show.
