Welcome to your weekly Checkpoint for video game news, reviews, interviews and more! With the games industry changing all the time, it's our goal to make sure you're kept up to date with the stories that matter! With coverage of all the latest major releases and hard-hitting discussions, the show is all about keeping you up to date and breaking down one of the most popular and constantly evolving medias in the world. Luke Mitchell worked in PR within the video game industry for 5 years and used to run an Australian online publication, and has seen sides of the industry from a journalistic and marketing perspective. Now, he just spends all of his spare time playing video games... entirely for research purposes, of course. His team consists of a bunch of different gamers with varying opinions, so you'll always hear more than one side to every story.
