Zac and Rob make it to the B's in their Steam A-Z thanks to Banished, a town management sim reminiscent of some of the ideas from the original Settlers. Zac instructs Rob how to live when all you have is a few highly skilled workers and nature.

It's time for the fifth SaladCast GOTY award show! Difficult year this one as the team have mostly played different games from one another which inevitably make comparisons hard but we give it a shot anyway because why not!

Zombies: Garden Warfare, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Alien: Isolation, Child of Light, Guilty Gear Xrd, Destiny, Driveclub, Assassin’s Creed Unity, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Far Cry 4, Fifa 15, Infamous: Second Son, South Park: The Stick of Truth, Watchdogs, Grim Fandango, Luftrausers, Nidhogg, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Threes, Titanfall, Transistor, Towerfall: Ascension

Running late but sounding great, it's another episode of videogame podcast The SaladCast. December is a busy time for everyone as Dan entertains guests with mince pies missing out on the discussions including:

The Playstation Experience, The Game Awards, Uncharted 4, Zelda for Wii U, Steam auctions, the year of broken games, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Bayonetta 2, Street Fighter V, Final Fantasy VII, EVE Online, Torchlight 2, Guild Wars 2 and Valkyria Chronicles.

Awwww yeah! It's about time we did this! Rob finally gets to try and show Zac why he loves this game. "Awesome" is in the title so it’s gotta be good, right?

It's time for another round of mopping up some side quests. We deal with a piano, a cave, a pagoda and a boat with plenty of room for a bit of head scratching.
