Let's Play Sunset Overdrive | Episode 321/7/2017 
Behold ye mortals! We have returned to bring you more coop gameplay action in the third episode of our incredibly varied Let's Play series.
This week Gabriella and James are trying out the general mayhem of Sunset Overdrive, a slightly long in the tooth but highly underrated Xbox One exclusive from a few years back, and developed by none other than Insomniac Games, the gang who are now using the smarts they picked up beating this game into shape to create the new Spider-Man game for Sony.
Have a look at the complete episode below, in which we are - as usual - quite incompetent when it comes to dispatching evil nasties, who in this game are just people who drank too much orange soda...I mean Overcharge. If you enjoy it, please like and subscribe and comment and all those nice things, so that we can continue exploring new titles for you from the Xbox Game Pass catalogue.
You can also watch the entire series so far with our handy playlist.
