Video Games

This week on Checkpoint, we’re joined by Liam Esler, the co-founder of GX Australia! With the event just weeks away, Luke, Archer and Viv takl about the importance of having events like GX and having strong, inclusive gaming communities. We also discuss a major issue with the representation of a trans character in Mass Effect Andromeda and the pitfalls of developers trying to write such diverse characters to reflect the world we live in today.

Also on this episode, Viv puts her teamwork to the test with Troll and I, Rachel brings us her review of FlatOut 4: Total Insanity and Olivia gets super nostalgic with her take on Kingdom Hearts 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX. It’s all here in another episode of your favourite gaming show!
