Hello and welcome to Lapsed Gamer Radio. This is the weekly ‘lapsed news’ update for the week commencing July 18th. We cover some listener questions about favourite handhelds and energy supplements, a little bit about the games that we’ve been playing recently, and we’ll touch on a couple of news stories.

On today’s episode LGR Team regulares Mark, Andy and Ali are joined by Andy Brown from the excellent Codec Moments podcast!

Some of the games played this week include: TOKYO MIRAGE SESSIONS #FE, FURI, POLY BRIDGE, UNCHARTED 4, SOMA, THE BANNER SAGA, SHADOWS OF MORDOR, LEGO MARVEL SUPER HEROES, TRANSFORMERS DEVASTATION, HEROQUEST, FORZA 6, F1 2015, GTA V, POKEMON GO, RAINBOW 6: SIEGE and a few others.
