New releases include Super Fowlst 2, Raven's Path, Warquest: Game of the Gods, and more.

This week, James & Ric bring the podcast to the Pocket Gamer YouTube channel. Yes, if their voices and opinions weren't offensive enough, you can now recoil in horror at their faces too.

Slightly later than billed, James and Ric are back with leaked news of Nintendo remakes. A Star Wars starship battler is on the horizon, and the latest announcement from indie publisher dejour Annapurna Interactive makes James wonder if he's done enough introspection for one lifetime. There's also new releases including wonky parcel courier game Totally Reliable Delivery Service, Nitrome's Bomb Chicken, and Ric's game of the week, Undersea Solitaire Tripeaks.

Matthew returns to the show this week, bringing with him tales of a blissful seven days with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. James has more free games to keep you busy while stuck indoors, and an unusual gun attachment for your smartphone that lets you play Doom Eternal. No, seriously. There's also info on Call of Duty: Mobile's new season, and new releases including Respawnables Heroes, Game of Thrones: Beyond the Wall, Snake Core, Repulsive, and more.

We've got a bunch of excellent premium games gone free to keep you occupied, the best multiplayer games to ensure you can still socialise with your nearest and dearest without putting anyone at risk (no, we don't recommend Risk), and all the usual news and new releases, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and the soft launch of Angry Birds Casual.
