Games that make you RAGE!!

Video Games

This week on the show, it’s all about games that make you so angry that you just want to throw your controller through the TV screen!! Sure, you never actually do it, but you certainly think about it. Luke once threw a controller into a wall and broke it when he was playing Dark Souls and a dragon snuck up behind him and burnt him to a crisp. True story!

Join Elliot, Jimmy, Rachel and Fin for an episode all about the different games that make you incredibly angry. It could be specific mechanics that are tough as nails or a very tricky boss fight, or just something as simple as a damn blue turtle shell in Mario Kart that costs you the championship at the last second. Some video games are even created solely to test your resolve, which could be the worst of all!

Also on the show, big news in the form of a new Nintendo handheld on the way, and Luke brings us his verdict on the newest Nintendo Switch release, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! It’s all here on another episode of your favourite video game show!
