The road to First Light has begun! This week kicks off a new series on Still Loading to celebrate the upcoming James Bond game from IO Interactive called 007 First Light. To kick off the series I am joined by Chris from Consoles and Stuff along with Luigi's Apartment to talk about the first Bond game on the PS2/GameCube/Xbox, James Bond 007: Agent Under Fire.
We talk about clones, bodies disappearing mid explosion, bad henchmen and uncomfortable amounts of horniness in the game. But it is James Bond so what do you expect. How does this game stack up against other Bond games? Give it a listen!

The Vita is an interesting system. It feels like it's a system that for those who love it REALLY love it and everyone is neutral at best. What has always interested me about the Vita were all of it's gimmicks and addons. The touch back touch screen, front facing camera, front facing touch screen, back facing camera, gyro controls and so many more. But what interests me the most about it are the games for the system that somehow marry all those gimmicks together in a cohesive package. Gravity Rush is one of those games.
Helping me shift gravity on this episode are first time guests Alex from the Low Five Gaming podcast and community member Soccr. We chat about what makes Gravity Rush so special, how it translated it's handheld controls with all of the gimmicks to the home console that doesn't have all that, just how damn cool the world of Gravity Rush is and so much more. Have you ever wanted to change the laws of gravity? Listen to this episode to see how Gravity Rush does just that.

We are kicking off 2026 with a giant episode! Joining me are friends of the show Chris Coplien from the Retro Hangover Podcast and Mick Arcade from Nerd's Cant to help me rank game console controllers. The inspiration for this episode came from Bitmap Books, who was kind enough to send all of us a review copy of their recently released book Trigger Happy. Trigger Happy is a visual compendium of game controllers so we figured what better way to celebrate videogame controllers than to do a big ranking episode.
We ranked 19 controllers from the NES up to the PS4/XB One/Switch. If the episode already wasn't about 3 hours long we may have considered ranking more. Anyway. Which controller is the highest ranked? Who has the hottest controller take? Listen to the episode and then share your thoughts on our rankings or share your own with us on our socials!
