He's also picked up another version of Control to complete, we muse on the possibility of completing the game without using the launch/shield power (aka the power of concrete). Skazz also make a prediction for his game of the year

TheSuffolkRam has returned to a late PS1 era game called Sheep, lemming inspired, you have top guide a herd of daft sheep through dangers to get them back to the alien home planet. Ram assumed it as a Japanese game bases on the insanity of it all, but is shocked by it being British made
