Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • Interesting show about the business of making video games, more about the games themselves. As an industry watcher, I like this. Has a lot of interesting industry guests and interviews and talks about the issues of the day in a non-sensationalized way.

    Christopher is often rambly though and tends to run over his guests and co-hosts, not letting them get a word in edgewise. He has to work on that.

    As the name implies, this is great for those interested in the business of games.
