This week the gang are back in this bumper episode to talk all about The Game Awards 2025 nominations. We go through each category and choose our winners, along with the games that should win but won't. Who was snubbed? Who is going to take Game of the Year? We get into the entire shebang. It's gonna be a good one for a certain French development team, we think. In Game of the Week, Miles gets disappointed with the PS5 port of S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2, Josh has been checking out Heart Machine's latest title Possessor(s), Kat has had a 'fine' time with SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide whilst Rossko calls for a complete end of Call of Duty altogether after suffering through Black Ops 7.

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast the whole gang is together once again to talk the GTA VI delay, Rockstar layoffs and the eventual protests it created at their Scotland studio. We also get into The Elder Scrolls 6 announcement back in 2018 and think maybe it was a little too soon to reveal and plenty of other stuff along the way! You know us, we love a tangent. Also, Expedition 33 didn't get a Grammy nomination for its soundtrack? We're fumin' mate. In Game of the Week, Miles has been playing T.A.B.S. (currently free on PS Plus) along with Jurassic World Evolution 3 (which now works!), Josh shares with the group his experience with Adhoc's Dispatch, Kat has been playing [REDACTED] and DBD, of course, and Rossko bothers her about LEGO Party whilst Rossko has been disappointed with Football Manager 26.

This week Rossko and Kat kinda get into the news (of which there is very little) by discussing the potential of the Mario Galaxy Movie and talk the out of nowhere Animal Crossing: New Horizons update Nintendo announced this week. In Game of the Week, Kat has checked out the really rather fun LEGO Party and talks about playing it with Rossko this week! Rossko then talks a little about The Outer Worlds 2 and then they both get into the very exciting Simpsons update to Fortnite!JOIN THE FINGER GUNS DISCORD DISCORD: https://discord.gg/EUkrzaCqHey if you like our podcast why not leave us a review?!

This week on The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Miles, Kat and the returning Josh talk everything that happened this week including frickin' Halo coming to PlayStation in 2026, Microsoft begging Phil Spencer to create 30% 'accountability margins' in order for them to be successful. Oh, and Fallout 4 is coming back! Yay....?In Game of the Week Josh talks about his time with BallxPit along with checking out side-scrolling roguelike Absolum. Kat has been rather busy this week but did find time to play Plants v Zombies Replanted on PS5, Miles has unfortunately had a sad time with Jurassic World Evolution 3 and so in his misery bought Ninja Gaiden 4 to cheer him up and it certainly did the trick. Rossko rounds things up talking about PowerWash Simulator 2 and of course, Fortnite.
