Insert coin and press start, we're taking on the future of gaming. Games on phones, games online, games all over the shop -- but what does the rise of the iPhone and OnLive mean for the big names in games?
But before that, we have to get this week's iPhone 5 news out of the way -- don't worry, we'll make it quick. Andy, Luke and Rich set the world to rights with a look at the past decade of television, the latest phones and some coffee machines.

In this week's Crave, we offer up the top technology of the week to our mysterious guest gadget arbiter is Judgement Degas, who's painting a picture of technology perfection.
Feature: What's the future of gaming?
Fancy playing a game? There's no console to hand and we can't be bothered to nip down to the game shop, but that doesn't matter any more. You can stream games right to your browser with OnLive, or just whip out your phone for some casual gaming jollies. The gaming industry has never been bigger -- but there's blood in the water and change in the air. Will mobile and online gaming kill the console? And have we gamified our lives too far?

Guys, you have it wrong on Android vs iOS for podcasts. I *left* iOS because of the awful podcast support.
The problem with iOS is that to get podcasts up to date, you have to boot up your computer, download your podcasts, sync with iTunes, and shut it down again, before you go out every day. The sync takes ages and because smart playlists don't work properly for podcasts, the most basic requirement of a list of the most recent podcasts in some sensible order isn't possible.
On Android you have to do precisely nothing. Your podcasts come in overnight direct to the phone. I recommend Doggcatcher. If you don't want to pay, you need Listen, and Acast if you watch video podcasts.
Sure, discovery is not as easy on Android. A penalty well worth paying.
