A Most Welcome Return to Form for Video Game News

Naomi Kyle hits the airwaves with a quick and succinct weekly fix of all things video gaming. Her narration and vocal recitation are spot on to give a sense of the general direction of the industry and of gamers. The occasional pun and/or joke is a welcome wrap up to the news segment.

A lovely bonus is a quick conversation with many guests who are key influencers and experts in the video game world that provide a little more info and feedback on the topic addressed.

This is just the thing for those of us that are time crunched and have only a few minutes to get caught up on the comings and goings of the video game universe.
