The 1st 10 Minutes

A video games analysis podcast, hosted by Tony Parmenter, Steve Halliwell, and Aaron Williams.

Each episode, one of us selects a game from our library, plays the first ten minutes of it, and then each of us critically analyse how well the game communicates itself to the player, both in terms of what the game is about, and how to play the game.

We also do 'Let's Play' style content on Youtube.
