So what jam do we have in store? We've got some Goldeneye-flavoured spread (Xbox remaster?), some Panda Controller marmalade (cancelled?!)... and our usual fav flavour - some Analogue Pocket preserve (playing games without a cart?!?). Just don't stick any of it in your mouth, please. We don't want to get sued.

But the biggest feast this week is our triple-treat of special features; our 1995 Game of Some Other Year nominee feature on Full Throttle, the results of our crazy 2021 Gaming Resolutions - and our most anticipated games of 2022.

So take a bite of these tasty delights:

▸ Is GoldenEye 007 about to get an Xbox release?

▸ Our second Game of Some Other Year 1995 nominee special - on LucasArt's Full Thottle

▸ We reveal the results of our 2021 Gaming Resolutions (and set our 2022 goals)

▸ And we wrap up the show with our most anticipated games of 2022.

The festive season is almost upon us - and what better way to celebrate than with another Big Week in Gaming for 28 Nov 2021!

Join integot, Mike and Swinny as they cover the week's headlines - including Epic Games buying musical maestros Harmonix, an update on the Analogue Pocket shipping, Ubisoft's artsy RPG Child of Light getting a new game, the cool new virtual Xbox Museum - and the biggest story of them all... Chris Pratt not doing an Italian accent for the Mario movie. Shame on you Star-Lord.

Speaking of Star-Lord - Mike suits up as Peter Quill himself with his impressions of the new Guardians of the Galaxy game, while integot takes a trip back to the 80s with his review of the nostaligic holiday comedy 8-Bit Christmas.

So plug in those headphones and jam out to this awesome mix:

▸ Epic Games buying rhythm game specialists Harmonix

▸ A big update on the long-delayed Analogue Pocket release

▸ Is Ubisoft's melancholy fantasy Child of Light finally getting a sequel?

▸ And our impressions of Eidos Montreal's Guardians of the Galaxy
