Welcome to the first LGR episode of the New Year and what better way to begin than by getting the entire podcasting team together to discuss their favourite games played in 2016. In this special show (part one of two instalments) Mark, Cev, Lee, Andy, Stuart N, Adam, Ali and Stuart C begin their Top 5 countdown, each team member revealing their picks 5, 4 and 3. Our top game and runner-up spots are soon to follow on Part Two, so look out for that hitting our feed in due course. Plus, we hope to post our individual picks for 10 to 6 on the LGR site in the near future for your reading pleasure.
Now as you will know by now, valued listener, we are not a typical videogame podcast: LGR is comprised of a varied bunch of folks and game players, so expect diversity among the games featured on our lists. By our very nature we are lapsed gamers, and therefore, as with last year’s fave games played special, these games are our top games we have played over the past twelve months, not necessarily games that first came out in 2016. So both older titles and the new are represented across our lists.
Thank you for tuning-in once again and here’s to another year of collectively keeping the hobby alive for is all. We’d love for you to get involved, so please do send us an email - lapsedgamerradio@gmail.com - about what you’re playing or not finding time to play, any feedback on our podcast or if you’d like to be on a future episode with us.

Warmest seasons greetings dear listener, it’s that time of the year when the sherry flows freely, the minced pies soak up whatever they can and the entire crew get together at the office party with some surprise special guests, open presents and generally get gradually less sober than normal.

Alistair 'Corn Wolf' is back, hosting this week's Lapsed News show having been away for a few weeks and he is joined by fellow co-hosts Mark, Stuart N and Stuart C to talk primarily about their games played and some news stories. We apologise about the dip in audio quality about halfway through, unavoidably we had to go to a back-up recording.

So Halloween has come and gone for another year and we tentatively peek from behind the cushion, having survived the scares and frights of ‘Silent Hill’ and ‘Resident Evil 4’, to welcome you all to another ‘lapsed news’ show. Join Mark, Stuart, Lee and LGR alumni Mark ‘Chazzee’ Reay as they offer an update on games they’ve played recently as well as discussing a selection of gaming news stories of interest.
For reference, here is the superb Mark Brown video mentioned on the show - Super Mario 3D World's 4 Step Level Design | Game Maker's Toolkit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBmIkEvEBtA

Welcome listeners to our second horror themed special for Halloween, hot on the hellish heels of our Ballyhoo! SILENT HILL movie double-bill. Today it’s another entry in our Playlist series where the team play-through an older game and give our thoughts and feelings about it. On this episode Andy, Mark, Adam & Stuart fend off zombies and rescue Ashley in the critically acclaimed RESIDENT EVIL 4.
RESIDENT EVIL 4, known in Japan as ‘Biohazard 4’, is a survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom. The sixth major installment in the ‘Resident Evil’ series, the game was originally released for the GameCube in North America and Japan in January 2005, and in Europe and Australia in March 2005. The story of RESIDENT EVIL 4 follows the U.S. government special agent Leon S. Kennedy, who is sent on a mission to rescue Ashley Graham, the U.S. President's daughter who has been kidnapped by a sinister cult. Traveling to a rural area of Spain, Leon fights hordes of violent villagers and reunites with the mysterious spy Ada Wong.
WARNING: In case you’ve not yet played this game please be aware that spoilers abound as we traverse the numerous settings within the game and talk about the story-line as it unfolds.
During our discussions we reference a couple of YouTube videos and links for these are as below:

Welcome listeners to another instalment of Ballyhoo! Our spin-off series where we look at other forms of media connected to gaming properties. In celebration of Halloween we’re talking horror movies, so join Cev, Lee, Andy and community guest Nick @Laneit360 Jones as they visit the eerie town of Silent Hill as envisaged by filmmakers Christophe Gans (SILENT HILL, 2006) and Michael J. Bassett (SILENT HILL: REVELATION, 2012).
With the continuous shouts of “Sharon!” still ringing in our ears, what will we make of these silver screen adaptations of Konami’s famous survival horror franchise? Can we fathom the mystery of the desolate fog/hellish nightmare cycle which grips Silent Hill? We certainly couldn’t comprehend Sean Bean’s American accent. Precisely what is going on with Sharon/Heather/Alessa now all grown-up and the star? Hang on a second, isn’t that Jon Snow? All this and more as we review SILENT HILL and SILENT HILL: REVELATION. Happy Halloween!
WARNING: In case you’ve not yet had the (mis)pleasure of watching these movies for yourself, please beware spoilers abound as we revel in their oneiric haze and on occasion lose ourselves in the thick mist of their absence of logic.
