In which Chris, Tom and Marsh attempt to shrug off a massive E3-induced sleep deficit to talk almost lucidly about men with giant moon faces, snakey boobs and the mega-bearded DarkLorde. Also every game we care about from E3.

So that includes but is not limited to: the new Deus Ex, Hitman, Just Cause, XCom, Mass Effect, Tomb Raider, Fallout, Ghost Recon and Rainbox Six. Also: the dawning of the Great Age of Todd Howard, how choice and regret affect happiness and why we are still right about Die Hard 4 even though we were completely wrong.
