“Great show, great host, great guests.
Particularly enjoyed the shows with guests of a similar age to me as the nostalgia of remembering once loved video games that you'd somehow forgotten is charming.”

“A good idea, covering a different person's "life in games" on a weekly basis. A good host who sets his interviewees at ease with an informal approach, amusing and with entertaining guests.
Recommended.”

“I love the chats, there's always something that crops up that I didn't know before, and for a long time gamer like me, a lot of what is talked about really jogs my memory back to plesant gaming memories I'd almost forgotten. The guests Dec has on his show really know what they're talking about...”Read full review »

“Anyone interested in media and entertainment will love this show. As a non-gamer, I'm fascinated by on the creative process and theories behind the development of games, many of which have drawn upon and interpret their cultural context. Openly presented, it's a great way to dip in and out of the...”Read full review »

“This show takes you an enjoyable trip down memory lane and behind the scenes of a one of the biggest entertainment industries. I'm not a big gamer, but videogames are merely the basis for good stories, often about halcyon days of youth, university and formative years. Highly recommended.”
