This week we discuss the PS3 clock fiasco, which seemed topical at the time, and the all-important question of which console is most suitable for constructing a pair of trousers from.

There's some hot debate as we ask whether Nintendo has abandoned its hardcore fanbase, or whether everyone should stop complaining and get on with playing Women's Murder Club. Plus, Minkley answers YOUR questions - well, question - and discusses the issue of video reviews.

On top of all that, there's a chance to win a downloadable game with what may be our least imaginative presentation of the code yet. Exciting times.
