Description
Each episode, we select a game from our library, plays the first ten minutes of it, and then critically analyse how well the game communicates itself to the player, both in terms of what the game is about, and how to play the game.
Hosted by Tony Parmenter, Steve Halliwell, and Aaron Williams.

Aaron scrubs and reminisces. And, of course, there's an editing joke. Watch Aaron's first ten minute playthrough: https://youtu.be/FcYxK6IDz6M Listen to this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/U_E9s1TBSw0
Aaron dug a (game about a) hole. And, of course, nobody outside of Australia will get that reference to The Castle. Watch Aaron's first ten minute playthrough: https://youtu.be/riKNqKR-gaU Listen to this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/JRoF27G0EMI

Tony, wrenches, gets shot, gets thrown into space, gets revenge and retires. And, of course, *dong*.

I just started this game a few weeks ago and just found out yesterday that you can reset the day or even go back a few weeks ago. but how ever far you want to go back but up till where you go back to will be deleted. it is so helpful because I started over 15 times and didn't realize you could reset before it deleted and started a new one
