Elden Ring is a smash hit, Gotham Knights has a release date, and System Shock 3 appears to be dead.

In the fortieth episode of the Long Live Play podcast, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst have ventured once more to Elden Ring's Lands Between, and it remains an incredible experience. We saw the Uncharted movie and were pleasantly surprised to find it was perfectly fine. Forspoken gets a massive delay, the gaming industry sanctions Russia, Elden Ring dominates sales charts, and Babylon's Fall is a catastrophic failure. Enjoy!

In the thirty-eighth episode of the Long Live Play podcast, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst are playing Horizon Forbidden West... and it's so good to have great games to talk about!

In the thirty-seventh episode of the Long Live Play podcast, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst exist in the in-between space before the release of Horizon Forbidden West... and it's a rough place to be. Still, we have the stealth release of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 to contend with, and also Netflix has acquired the rights to produce a Bioshock movie. Plus, we reexamine the NVIDIA leak which, at this point, is absolutely just a list of real games you will be playing in the next few years. Enjo...

In the thirty-fifth episode of the Long Live Play campaign, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst deal with the news that Sony has acquired Bungie, the studio responsible for the Halo and Destiny franchises.

In the thirty-third episode of the Long Live Play slow jerk, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst are virus-free, and getting along for a change, perhaps due to the spirit of cooperation engendered by so much cooperative gaming. It's a slower week, and so we focus on some of the smaller stories: Techllands outrageous 500-hour claim of content in the upcoming Dying Light 2, Final Fantasy XIV will be available for purchase again on Australia Day, God of War on PC smashes an impressive concurren...

In the thirty-second episode of the Long Live Play medical nightmare, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst must grapple with the inevitable reality that has befallen them: that Govinda has the spicy cough.

In the thirty-first episode of the Long Live Play, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst are back to ring in the new year in typical fashion, with a scandal of the first order and a potential case of COVID-19.

In the twenty-eight episode of the Long Live Play live-action award show, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst contend with The Game Awards so that you don't have to! Hosted and produced by Geoff Keighley, The Game Awards is a morass of ads and cringy skits, which we all endure for the promise of overhyped game reveals (which are inevitably underwhelming). Join us as we delve into this three-hour affair, and probe its depths for any sense of meaning. Our heroes cover all the news (that they c...

In the twenty-sixth episode of the Long Live Play tragedy, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst are ready to analyse the fantastic Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy (*spoiler warning*), which is an excellent game that you should very much play.

In the twenty-second episode of the Long Live Play web drama, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst argue like an old married couple suffering from both dementia and Alzheimer's, with a lifetime full of regrets behind them and little hope ahead.

The PS Plus titles for November have also been revealed, and we discuss this month...

In the nineteenth pen-ultimate episode of the Long Live Play podcast, hosts Khayl Adam and Govinda Whitehurst are here to talk about the hottest shooters currently playable, shooty-shooty bang-bang. We have spent time with the long-awaited Battlefield 2042 Beta, and boy, do we have some takes. Also Hell Let Loose is a surprise gem and Far Cry 6, while more Far Cry, is awesome in its own right. For something a little different, and as promised last week, we give our own take on IGN's much-vaunted...
