Latest Episode of Virtual Grip Podcast: Ep.4 - One Frame, Two Decades, Three Deadly Contracts

This month, the Steam Frame has finally arrived, so naturally we spend some of that time talking about the lottery and Doc’s ever-growing wish list. 20 years later, Paul finally gets his new Onimusha, which has somehow aged better than most of us, before Gunman Contracts turns us all into wannabe John Wicks with a suit, a pistol, and questionable survival instincts. We also discuss the sad news surrounding Polyarc, proving once again that the games industry giveth… and then taketh away. New hardware, old classics, guns, games, and just enough misery to keep things balanced.
