It's time for another roundup of the biggest news and features in video games for this Big Week in Gaming for 4 Jul 2021! This week the bigwig crew chat about Sony spending big on studio acquisitions, plans for Control sequels and spinoffs, Ghost of Tsushima getting a snazzy Director's Cut, xCloud launching on PC & iOS, id Software's mystery leaked game - and the latest Smash & amiibo news, with hands-on thoughts of the new fighter Kazuya.

For special features - we have impressions of the new metroidvania soulslike ENDER LILIES - as well as a MASSIVE nominee selection special for Game of Some Other Year 1995. It's a bloody battle of PC vs SNES classics for this GOSOY. Poor Mike... I promise we'll play Beavis & Butthead one day.

Your mum's certainly going to love these highlights:

▸ Sony's Studio Shopping Spree - and what these acquisitions tell us about their future plans

▸ First impressions of the gothic metroidvania - ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights

▸ And we choose the nominees for Game of Some Other Year 1995!
