What's makes a good horror game? Does it need monsters? Does it need to be set in the dark? Is The Last of Us a horror game or does the genre exist beyond its separate elements? These are just some of the questions that Joe Ryan, Allison Hill and Mat Growcott try to crack on this week's GRCast. Scary games used to be ten a dime, but times have changed and now they're mostly coming from indie publishers. Can they make a full come back, and will Oculus Rift play a role in its revival?

In our first franchise week, we're looking at Mario Kart. Joe is joined by Adam, Allison and Dakota to discuss the nostalgia of the biggest driving series ever. We'll talk about favourite characters and tracks, battle mode, features we'd like to see added, things they should get rid of, DLC, track building, Reggie's body and Ganon's tiny bike.

Joe Ryan returns to the host's chair for the second season of the GRCast. In our return episode, we look at the highlights of E3, whether it was any better than previous years and whether Nintendo's decision to just release their video to the web is the beginning of the end for the biggest week in the gaming calender.

Joe Ryan and the GRCast Team are returning this week with the first of their second season of gaming podcasts. Join us as we introduce a whole host of new ideas, new faces and new laughs. Watch as Joe tests our writer's knowledge of this hobby that we love, and as we tackle the biggest, most important gaming issues of the day. Our second season kicks off with our GRCast E3 Special, where we'll be balancing the ups and downs of the biggest event in the gaming calender. And is E3 sexist? That's an accusation we've heard this week, but is there any meat in it?
