The most anticipated game of a generation is here at last! But can indie-darling space-exploring hype-monster No Man's Sky possibly live up to expectations?
To find out, your favourite tech podcast has drafted in GameSpot's Dave Jewitt, to proffer his thoughts on the first four (or so) hours of the game. Elsewhere we're getting hot under the collar over watchdog-mandated banking apps (trust us, it's more exciting than it sounds), and we're distinctly cool under the collar over hackable sex toys.
Meanwhile we've got news on TV's upcoming "Star Trek: Discovery", and a man who's attempting to cycle the length of Britain -- in VR.
Plus, we sound off on "Suicide Squad", and find out whether Rich's brain can handle the weekly quiz. Hit play now.
