YouTube takes action against ad blockers. Disney's Snow White remake stirs up controversy. Netflix focuses on cloud gaming. "Stray Gods" turns us into singing detectives.

In Big Screen, we travel into the future. Chaos reigns in the post-apocalyptic world of "Twisted Metal". At the centre of it all is John Doe, who delivers parcels as a "Milkman". What does this have to do with the original game? Find out in the podcast. As well as why it's worth watching the murder mystery "The Afterparty".

We played, or rather sang, our way through "Stray Gods". Perhaps the first and only role-playing musical in which you have to solve a murder case as a newly minted goddess. There are even more murders, but no singing, in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". In this multiplayer game, you either try to escape as a survivor or hunt down the disobedient guests as Leatherface.
