After getting to know each other a little more, talk soon turns to the games they've been playing. There's a real eclectic mix in this episode, with HALO Reach and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order getting a mention alongside FMV horror Simulacra and Football Game, to name just a few. These three also chat about the suggestion that Xbox boss Phil Spencer may never delve into the VR market and discuss whether they'd be happy to miss out on the experience as a result.
'The Judge' takes a well-earned break, with Richard stepping up to deliver a brand new quiz for a tense head-to-head between Gareth and James.
