Your panel for the first ever episode of Gaming Corner are Oliver McQuitty and Stu Helm.

Gaming Corner, a joint production between the International Mac Podcast Network and Modern Gaming Studios, provides a relaxed, friendly and often comedic approach to delivering gaming news. No two page long essays on one piece of news, no endless sessions of reading articles word for word, just a few gamers chatting over Skype to share their views on the latest gaming news and highlight their favourite tech and games.

This week’s show notes, including links to the panel’s picks and all the stories we cover can be found after the break.
