Charity and Gaming

Video Games

This week, we are talking all about charity and gaming. There are a range of video games that have linked up with charities for different reasons, including generating visibility and donations for key organisations. Elliot, Rachel, Jimmy and Kieren talk about a range of different examples, including charities that use games as part of their cause for rehabilitation, mental health and more, along with the companies who continually support charitable causes.

Also on the show this week, Jimmy has been living with dinosaurs in Ark: Survival Evolved, Kieren has been taking part in an epic crossover with Warriors All-Stars and Rachel has been hitting the field hard to bring us her review of Madden NFL 2018. Don’t miss any of the action!

For all the latest updates as always, head to our official website at checkpointgaming.net.
