Button Boys

• Boarding the Hype Train: The Highs and Lows

  This week's episode is all about the hype so set your expectations astronomically high and strap in. We've all felt it; the excitement coursing through our gaming veins, the buzz barely containable and then... the game comes out. Sarah, Pierre and Glenn are here to console you, to pick up the pieces and let you know you're not alone. Whether the game met those lofty hopes or whether it all came crashing down around you, they know the feeling. The Boys will also be chatting about the games they've played this week. Pierre's getting lost in every sense of the word in Blue Prince, Sarah's getting lost in one specific sense in Zelda and Glenn's losing his mind over one of the most anticipated games of the year.

• Character Creators: There Goes Ol’ Smoothballs

  This week Pierre, Sarah and Glenn are unleashing their inner artistes, tweaking and twiddling the topic of character creators from head to toe and everywhere between. There's also football games from a new perspective, Pierre's acute attention to detail paying off and Sarah getting bogged down in an attritional sleepover. Not to forget, the Button Boys will be bumping up against our gripes this week, and annoyingly everyone seems to be on Glenn's level with it.
