Is it too late to say happy new year? It is isn't it. Well, hope you had a good one anyway, and to celebrate the beginning of 2025 we're doing another de facto GOTY pod and inducting a 2024 game into the Hall of Fame.Steve doesn't really play new games that aren't Shenmue homebrew mods, so we bring in a special guest to nominate for him. We also have a big ol' chat about games consoles we own and covet, and there's the return of an old friend who's still the best at shagging. Go vote for the game

2024/12/23

Putting the 'ho' in your ho ho, we are here for another Christmas special episode to introduce the nominees for the last game going into the Video Game Hall of Fame Class of 2024 - it's games featuring snow. Loads of games to choose form on this one, but that's not all. We also have a special Xmas quiz you can play along to at home. Rob's early podcast notion of "I'm not arguing, it's Christmas" quickly goes out of the window once Alex's ChatGPT-designed quiz throws up some ludicrous questions. Vote

2024/12/06

Considering Goldeneye 007 is already in, and one of them Lord of the Rings PS2 games has already been nominated this year, we had slim pickings for this one!

2024/09/02

...that aren't Halo: CE or Half-Life 2, because they're already in the HOF. Or Hades because Alex is still upset that one didn't get in. Same goes for House of the Dead. Aside from that, enjoy a hell of a lot of hip and happening games beginning with H. That letter was randomly selected back in episode 30, so blame the algorithm or whatever.

It's everyone's favourite episode type - the one where democracy dies! That's right, we're once again going back through the previous batch of episodes since episode 20 to each pick one game that didn't win a listener poll and just lob it straight into the Hall of Fame because it's ours and we can.
