LGR 2016: Episode 13 - Lapsed News X


Greetings once again to the latest episode of Lapsed Gamer Radio. This week Mark, Cev, Andy and Stuart are here to entertain you with their adventures in video games.

We kick-off with a mini-topic of films based on games and if you had your pick of which game you could make into a movie, what would it be, who would you cast, and who would direct?

Our main section is of course, our opportunity to catch-up on the news of what we’ve been playing recently - featuring discussion of RATCHET & CLANK, DESTINY, ROCKET LEAGUE, LIFE IS STRANGE, SHADOW OF MORDOR, AFTERBURNER CLIMAX, CIVILIZATION REVOLUTION, TROPICO 5, MASS EFFECT, HEARTHSTONE, THE WONDERFUL 101, and BIOSHOCK. We also mention the CUBE ESCAPE games as a lunch hour game of the week.

We then proceed to have our customary brief natter about any gaming news stories that have caught the team’s interest and cover a couple of listener questions.

News links:




  • There’s a new Call of Duty this year (duh!)

  • Chaos Warriors DLC free for a week.


Game Giveaway
In the show we talk about our Big Game Giveaway. We have 58 games in total giveaway on Steam. To get a game all you need to do is go to the GoogleDoc link below and put your email address or Twitter name beside whichever game(s) you want.
