Steve and Wayne return to pay tribute to PlayStation. Talking memories, nostalgia and thirty years of gaming delights. Plus, will we ever get a Red Dead Redemption 3? We certainly hope so! Christmas Special is (we hope) coming soon!

Wayne and Steven talk about Official PlayStation Magazine, and the other gaming magazines we no longer have, following the news that Play Magazine will shortly be producing their final issue in the UK. Things have a changed a lot since Wayne first started studying Journalism in 2003 and the way we consume media has changed so much. We hope you'll enjoy the show. We certainly enjoy making it.

Steve and Wayne return for an October show. Talking about what they've been playing and how Wayne managed to get his old on two old PS2's - whatever will he play on them? Steve's been reigniting old passions too, looking at Warhammer and also revisiting several classic games. And how much are they selling Ratchet and Clank for?

If so, this is the episode for you, quite literally...as it will help you both answer that question AND fill the void. Enjoy! Plug In And Play is NOT filmed in front of any live studio audience. Sorry.

Steve and Wayne return to do what they do best, talk about video games. In this episode we discuss the actors art, and how video games have merged with more "traditional" roles of performance. We're also interested to know how one person in Sunderland managed to get four sealed copies of an extremely rare PS2 game. Listen On.

Steve and Wayne are still talking about Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. But they're also talking about how it relates to a bunch of old Interactive DVD titles Wayne found for sale recently. Bridging the gaps between movies and gamer, being experience and player, how does one define a game? An overarching topic, which will already be discussed on future episodes, Plug In And Play once again cordially invites you to join the conversation.
