27. 1996 Games

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2024/03/14

This episode's subject was the result of a random generation of a year in the 90s to pick games from. Now, full disclosure, we were initially rolled 1992 but realised how many games from that year we'd already inducted, so we did another one and got 1996! 1996, as it turns out, was a year that some incredible things happened, and some iconic franchises were born. You can be sure we nominated a lot of those for the Hall of Fame. There's also a really thought-provoking question from

26. Underrated 7/10s

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2024/02/26

That's right, we're fighting for the underdog this episode, as we're all nominating only games that scored 79 and under on Metacritic. 7/10s, or 'hidden gems', have become a huge part of games media in recent years, and we're getting in on the act to stick one of them in the Hall of Fame.We've got loads of honourable mentions and a discussion on what exactly a 7/10 game is, plus the obligatory offensive email from Shagger. We don't know how he keeps outdoing himself

25. Licensed Games

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2024/02/07

We're selling our souls for those sweet license deals this episode, as we nominate four games that license IPs from outside the gaming sphere (not sports, though). Despite having something of a bad rap, there are a huge number of great licensed games, and we cover as many as we can here. Go vote for the one you want in the Hall of Fame over @VG_HOF. Of course, stay tuned for some more incredible emails from that bloke who upstages all of us at the end, or ruins the pod, depending on your

Year two of the Video Game Hall of Fame commences with a de facto game of the year episode! We're nominating games released in 2023 for this one, and we had a hell of a lineup to pick from, amirite?! Once you've heard the pod and our nominees, head on over to @VG_HOF on Twitter and vote for the one you want to be inducted to the Hall of Fame as the first member of the Class of 2024.

23. XMAS SPECIAL - Listeners' Choice

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/12/25

Merry Christmas one and all! This year, and probably every year, we offered you the gift of nominating the final games in the class of 2023 for the Hall of Fame. You came through with some... games. There were some suggestions that were downright terrible games, and some we unfortunately have never played, but in amongst all that came four crackers that you'll have a hard time voting on. To do that, go to @VG_HOF on X and chuck in your vote for the game you want to be inducted. Then

22. Western RPGs

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/12/14

That's right, we're nominating RPGs from W, not J! The lads have some big hitters for you this episode, so you'll likely have a tough choice on your hands. To make that choice, head over to @VG_HOF on Twitter and vote for the WRPG you want to go in the Hall of Fame. Please rate/review and share this pod with your pals if you like it, send emails to videogamehof@gmail.com and tune in next episode for our Xmas special!

21. Superior Sequels

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/11/30

We gave you the options, you once again voted against turnips. So, here we are with four game nominations that are all (according to GameRankings) superior sequels to their original predecessor. It's just second games in a series here, too, with minor allowances made for things that are direct sequels to specific entries (like Mario Galaxy 2 or Final Fantasy X-2 etc). To vote for your favourite nominated game, you'll need to head on over to @VG_HOF on X and choose the one you want to go in

2023/11/15

We're back to force games into the Hall of Fame that you lot didn't vote for! To wrap up episodes 11-19, each host picks a game that lost in a previous poll to automatically be inducted into the HoF. Did your favourite game previously miss out? Fear not, it has one final chance to be in the class of 2023! We also lay out all the categories we'll be nominating games from for all the episodes up to number 30, with plenty of debate, discussion and daft bollocks along the way. Of course, we

2023/10/30

Spooky season is here, so here's a spooky episode. Well, it's the same as all the other episodes really, but we're nominating horror games for you to vote into the Hall of Fame. So, yeah... boo! There's also a story about Derren Brown and another incredible poem from You-Know-Who. Honestly, his content is better than ours so you might as well just skip to the end. Once you've heard the noms, head on over to X @VG_HOF and vote for your favourite horror game. Then email us some

18. Games From Dead or Dying Genres

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/10/16

We embrace spooky season in typically morbid fashion, as we're nominating games from dead or dying genres in this episode. If you've got a game you love and think, "they don't make these anymore," then you know what we mean! Don't forget to rate/review on your pod platform of choice, tell your mates to check us out, say hi over @VG_HOF, and email us at videogamehof@gmail.com

17. Games We Did a 180 On

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/10/02

It's a bit of a wildcard category this episode, as our nominated games could be basically anything, provided we initially disliked (or even hated) them, before completely changing our opinion and loving them. We've all been there, right? Yes, we also have more poems - all of outstanding quality. Go vote in the polls for the game you want inducted into the Hall of Fame as soon as you've finished listening via @VG_HOF on X, or tvghof on Instagram. Please rate/review the pod on your

16. Management Sims

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/09/18

This episode, the lads are nominating games in the Management Sim category. Yes, Rob wanted to include the entire Football Manager series, but he's not allowed. We also have some more ridiculous emails, including some very NSFW poetry, video game baddies, and our recommendations for other podcasts. Go and vote for the management game you want in the Hall of Fame on Twitter/X @VG_HOF or tvghof on Instagram. Send your emails (we love 'em really) to videogamehof@gmail.com and please rate/review

15. Party Games

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/09/04

It's time to P. A. R. T. Why? Because of a democratic process of voting for the theme for each episode of the podcast. Why else? Steve's choice for category was, as you've hopefully guessed from reading the title of the episode, party games. So stick on your party hat, fill up your party bag, knock off with some drunken co-worker in the toilets and let's bloody well party, shall we? This episode was chaos, by the way. Alongside party games you've got airplane-based break-ups,

Are you ready to expand your horizons? Maybe you just like staring at little icons on maps? Whatever your pleasure, we're here to nominate four of our favourite open world games for the Video Game Hall of Fame. Once you've heard the episode, head on over to Twitter @VG_HOF and cast your vote - the winning game will be inducted and immortalised.

2023/08/02

As the Hall of Fame gang recover from various bouts of lurgy, we return slightly hoarse but no less enthused to talk about Alex's chosen category: hack and/or slash games. As always, each of the four pod members will pick their favourite game from the category, and it's up to you to head over to @VG_HOF on (ugh) X and cast your vote for the game you want to be inducted into the Hall of Fame!

2023/07/17

We're being right wrong'uns on this episode! In a break from the standard sort of category we usually nominate games from, we're getting stuck into some controversies and seeing which games straddle the line between infamy and brilliance the best. Believe us when we tell you that controversy does not diminish the standard of the games nominated in this episode, as we may have the strongest lineup yet!

It's the tactical choice to listen to this podcast. In real time! No need to strategise, just press play! That's right, this episode we're each nominating a strategy game for the Video Game Hall of Fame. Once you've heard our nominations, head over to @VG_HOF on Twitter and vote in the poll for your favourite, and the winner will be inducted into the Hall of Fame alongside the likes of Super Mario World, Final Fantasy VII, Minecraft, and Halo!

10. Bonus Induction Special #1

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/06/12

We are the people's Video Game Hall of Fame, but that doesn't mean the people are right 100% of the time. Let's be honest, we nominated waaaaaaay too many good games to only have one go in the Hall of Fame from each category. Fear not, though, because we're here to right those wrongs by inducting one more game each from the first nine categories of the pod. That means we will be inducting four games from amongst the 2D platformer, FPS, pre-3rd gen, beat ‘em up, JRPG, 8-bit, driving,

It's time to channel the spirit of independence! This episode, we present to you our four nominations from the indie games sphere. As always, you will decide which nominee gets inducted into the Hall of Fame! There are so many amazing indie games to choose from, spanning every and all genres, so we all found it incredibly tough to pick just one each. If you like one our nominees, then head on over to @VG_HOF on Twitter and cast your vote for your preferred winner. If you don't like our

8. Rhythm Games

The Video Game Hall of Fame ·

2023/05/15

Apparently this episode's genre is controversial. Apparently one member of the pod 'hates' rhythm games. But you're not like that are you, dear listener? You all like fun times with music and occasionally hitting or plucking things, right? Good, great, wonderful. We have another lineup of four games to introduce to you with our very bestest (or, in one case, most reluctant) reasoning for why each should go into the Hall of Fame. The eventual winner, as always, is down to you. Once
