• Episode 280 - The Keighleys 2025

  It's that time of year again where Geoff Keighley emerges to dazzle and wow us with game trailers and celebrity appearances at his extravagant end-of-year show. Oh, and game awards, given that this is The Game Awards after all. Which games are walking away with all the Keighleys in hand, and which are going to cruelly miss out? Here's all our predictions for this week's show.Follow Checkpoint Chat on...Twitter: https://twitter.com/CheckpointChat​​Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CheckpointChatInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/checkpointchatBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/checkpointchat.bsky.social Want to listen to more gaming goodness, on other platforms?

  This week on Checkpoint Chat, games are actually being finished! After many months Sandy is finally done with Death Stranding 2 and cannot contain how much he was into its earnest bullshit.

• Episode 278 - Eyedrop Juice

  This week on Checkpoint Chat, we checked out the long-awaited return of Ryu in Ninja Gaiden 4 while avoiding the mess he's made on the walls, on the ceiling, and pretty much anywhere else you can think of. The Outer Worlds 2 is also out and reminding us that Fallout New Vegas was pretty damn good, and so is this latest Obsidian role-playing game set in capitalist space hell.
