Going for Gold with Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games and Wii Sports!

This episode we bring back memories of the Paris Olympic Games by discussing Mario & Sonic's various adventures at the world's most prestigious sporting event! Oh, and the gaming phenomenon that is Wii Sports.

THE two most iconic gaming mascots of all time finally brought together in a single title... and it's a button mashing Olympic crossover? Was it a waste, or did it do something truly special?

Wii Sports took the world by storm when it launched as a pack-in title for the Nintendo Wii, and legend has it grannies up and down the country are still playing it to this day, but what made it SO bloody popular?

Plus we have the triumphant return of 'Milking It', and Eddie talks about Bungees financial woes.

Enjoy!
