A strange but bumper show full of gaming, gaming news and some great talking points. Unfortunately Toz can't talk about most of the games he has been playing as they have embargos on them so you will have to wait a bit longer to hear about them.

We have some great prizes up for giveaway this week, a copy of Minecraft on the PC (big thanks to James from CrankyMiners) and Forza Horizon on the Xbox (big thanks to SimeNi). Toz tells us about his close shave with his wedding plans and how they nearly got thrown into disarray and I got on camera this week (well actually my insides did)

We have a good discussion on Forza Horizon, plenty of Fifa 13 talk and chat on how the 007 Legends game compares to the film, some news on Windows 8, SmartGlass and Dishonored dlc and a huge postbag of listeners questions it really is a mammoth show.

We are well into this seasons big releases and show 176 has plenty to say on most of them Toz even makes time to play them around his wedding plans.
In our what we have been playing section Toz is persevering with Dishonored and speaks about some of his frustrations with the game although I do my best to point him in the right direction.

I grab my walther PPK and a Martini (shaken not stired of course) and discuss the latest Bond game 007 Legends and also discuss a new feature 'player of the week' for Fifa Ultimate Team (FUT).
With some interesting news stories and loads of listeners questions (why don't you tell us what you last dressed up in) and discussion points. Look at the end of this post for the Gangnam Style video we discuss in our and finally this week.
This is a jammed packed Cranky Gamers UK episode 176

Another long Cranky show for you to enjoy this week with plenty of chat about some of the big releases out this week and coming out next week. Toz speaks about his quest to become the next Brian May (rumour has it he has even gone out and bought the wig) using Rocksmith.

We also find out how he got on with the Kinect title Fable: The Journey, will it be the disaster I was expecting and he gets his hands on the most anticipated racer this season, namely Forza Horizons.

I discuss my favourite game of this year and for me at the moment my Game of the Year Dishonored which finally now frees me up to try and get going with Resident Evil 6. With both of us scratching around for news stories its just as well we have plenty of listener questions to answer and perhaps you might want to have your say on some of them in the forums.

With only 11 more shows till Christmas this is show 175 of the Cranky Gamers UK podcast.

To go with the bumper release of games this week we have a bumper show for you to listen to, Toz has the end of his decorating exploits in sight but still has plenty of time to play Rocksmith and Resident Evil 6, I play a couple of new games one of which is a big first for me to as well as progressing through my Fifa 13 career.

In the news we discuss Cliff Bleszinski and his decision to leave Epic Games and discuss further the Fifa 12/13 Wii game, with a selection of and finally's to make you laugh and cringe all rounded off with a few listener's Q & A, this is Cranky Gramers UK episode 174.
