In this episode, Wilks and Wildgoose sit down to chat about the recently revealed next gen Xbox specs, and interesting statistics regarding player behaviour in the Mass Effect games. They also discuss the games they've recently been playing, including the rather horrible named Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem and the rather brilliantly named, Wide Ocean, Big Jacket. Rather than tackling a single 7 out of 10 game this week, Wilks and Wildgoose instead delve into their personal 7 out of 10 games - those games that are underrated and overlooked but are definitely worth your time, including Iron Storm, The Club and Lost Planet 2. Will Wildgoose somehow bring up Clint Hocking? Does Wilks champion a game no one has heard of? Do you agree with their list of underrated games?

Will your most anticipated games be included in the list?   The only way to find out is to listen!   7 out of 10 is a proud member of the AlottaGreen Podcast Network.

In this episode, Wilks and Wildgoose aren't joined by anyone as their guest had to cancel at the last minute. As solace for the betrayal, the pair chat about the Kickstarter anti-union stance and the Apple Arcade. On the games front, Wildgoose embodies his namesake and terrorises a child in the Untitled Goose Game, and Wilks tries to explain the intricacies of the time travel, eternal Cold-War, German Techno turn-based X-COM rhythm game, All Walls Must Fall. Does Wilks go through the entire hour without making any comment about Wild Geese? Does Wildgoose cause Wilks to rethink his pathological backing of Kickstarter projects?   The only way to find out is to listen!   7 out of 10 is a proud member of the AlottaGreen Podcast Network.

In this episode, Wilks and Wildgoose are joined by games journalist turned academic and educator, Dan Staines to talk about how goddamn great it is that the world is being gifted with a sequel to the brilliant Deadly Premonition.

The winner may surprise you, but it's an indisputable scientific fact! Will someone say "vagina bones"? Will everyone be horrified and confused by the phrase "vagina bones" Will Wilks spontaneously forget the name of a game he's talking about?

While most of us remember 1998 as the year in which the Austrian musical megastar Falco was cruelly taken from us at the all too tender age of 40, it was also pretty big when it came to games. In this episode, Wilks and Wildgoose are joined by games journalist turned developer, Dan Hindes to find out once and for all if 1998 was the greatest year for gaming in the history of everything ever.

In this episode, Wilks and Wildgoose are joined by game developer Dean Longmore to talk about Chinese spies, gun violence, and a bunch of other things that have been bandied around the Internet or late. They also discuss Age of Wonders: Planetfall, the fifth game in the series but the first to embrace science fiction, the brilliant 1997 point and click mystery, Blade Runner, and the fantastic but underplayed recent history adventure game, 1979 Revolution: Black Friday. Finally, the trio dig deep into the first game that Dean ever worked on, the sometimes brilliant, sometimes frustrating but always fascinating L.A. Noire.

In this episode, the two DWs aren't joined by a guest because he forgot, not that they're bitter or anything. Instead they spend their time talking about Randy Pitchford's Twitter meltdown, the furore surrounding the Sonic the Hedgehog trailer, Uwe Boll's suitability and success as a restaurant manager and Game of Thrones Civilization 6 mods. They also play the demo of the anthropomorphic animal noir adventure game, Backbone, discuss the rules of Solitaire, Wilks' love of Mahjong (both proper and tile matching) and dissect the amount of money they have spent on Steam and Kickstarter. Will our heroes make it through the episode without taking any not too subtle digs at their missing guest? Will one of them profess a strange love of the Super Mario Bros movie? Will they have a conversation about hentai visual novels? The only way to find out is to listen!   7 out of 10 is a proud member of the Alottagreen Podcast Network.

In this episode, the two DWs, Daniel Wilks and David Wildgoose discuss the strange and underwhelming announcement of the PS5, the terrible naming conventions of Microsoft, and pour one out to lament what is essentially the final death spasm of Australian gaming magazines.

In this first foray into the past, our fearless hosts jump into the wayback machine and set the dials for 1997. Was 1997 the best year ever for gaming? Are they really as old as they make out to be? Has Wilks really never player Goldeneye? Has Wildgoose not played Quake II? Tune in to find out!
