A Winner Is You

It's been a huge week to be a Nintendo fan, for good and bad. We're here to condense and deliver as much information and opinion from the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and all the information trickling out since, as we possibly can just for you.

To round out the episode, we celebrate the console that came before with our individual top 10 lists of Switch 1 games.

Come say hi on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod and we'll see you next episode for Genre Wars pt.1 - FPS Games.

It's a movie and a game for you lucky people! That's right, we're ready to believe you... want to hear us discuss the 1984 classic movie Ghostbusters AND Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

We love the movie, we... kinda like and respect the game. There is absolutely nothing extraordinarily bad about this podcast. Yes, it's true, this man has no dick.

Say hi to us on BlueSky @winnerisyoupod and we'll see you next time for a Switch 2 Direct reaction pod + our Top 10 Switch games of all time.

It's finally here, lads. We go deep into covering all the wonderful Dishonored games, right from the 2012 original through all the DLC and onto Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider.

It's safe to say we adore these games. The main two are both 10/10s. We'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Say hi @winnerisyoupod on Twitter or BlueSky and get ready for March Movie Madness up next!

Once again we bring in KDB to join us picking 10 video games each, this time from the year 2010, and trying to get the highest total Metacritic score.

This is an epic, folks. Banger game after banger game, a photo finish down to the last game for second place, records broken, and a bonus 2025 fantasy draft for a bonus point in the league table.

Please rate and/or review us on your pod platform of choice and tell your gaming buddies how rad this pod is. Come say hi to us @winnerisyoupod on Twitter and BlueSky!

Oh bugger, this is already getting messy. We're back with another 15 rock solid Xbox 360 games to add in to our burgeoning top 100 list.

So you can follow along while listening, the current top 15 before recording looked like this:

1. Dead Space
2. Gears of War
3. Portal 2
4. Batman: Arkham Asylum
5. Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
6. Bioshock
7. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
8. Binary Domain
9. FIFA 10
10. Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed
11. Alan Wake
12. Left 4 Dead 2
13. Resident Evil 5
14. Limbo
15. Split/Second Velocity

Will Binary Domain hang in the top 10 by the end? Can anything usurp Dead Space? Why is Limbo so low? All this and more to be revealed in a stonker of an episode for Xbox fans.

Come say hi on Twitter or (preferably) BlueSky @winnerisyoupod and we'll see you in the next episode for the 2010 Video Game Draft!

We may be halfway through January already, but 2024 doesn't officially end until we've decided our prestigious Game of the Year Awards!

The categories, as is now the standard, are:

Best Story, Best Gameplay, Most Bullshit, Best Surprise, Worst Game, Outsider Award (best non-pod game), Best Game, Most Anticipated 2025 Podcast Game, and Most Anticipated 2025 New Release.

Enjoy the rambling, long awards show and tell us what you thought over @winnerisyoupod on either Twitter or BlueSky (preferably the latter).

What a way to close out 2024, eh? There's something quintessentially Christmassey about sticking on an Indiana Jones movie, so we decided we'd play one in Machine Games' latest masterpiece.

We dive deep into the gameplay, story, mysteries, puzzles, characters, combat and much, much more.

Say hi to us on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod and have a bloody brilliant new year. See you in 2025!

Snaaaaake Eeeeeeeaaaaaterrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

That's right, we're rounding off the original MGS trilogy with what many believe to be its finest hour. Join us in celebration of MGS3's 20th birthday as we have a deep dive into its gameplay, impact, bosses and all the insane details you may have missed!

Come say hi to use on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod

Happy birthday, PlayStation, you old bastard! 30 years of Sony's iconic, game-changing machine needs to be acknowledged and celebrated with more than just a grey PS5 controller, so we're here to throw a proper party.

We've got memories of the console, anecdotes from childhood, a look through our PS1 games collections and our individual top 10 lists of PS1 games. It's a warm and fuzzy pod for those cold winter nights.

Follow us on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod, and give us a rating or review on your pod platform of choice!

Don't feel old, mate. We're all in this together, ageing like fine wine. Has Halo 2 done the same, or is it old and embarassing like your dad?

We talk through everything - gameplay, story, marketing, multiplayer, the 2014 remaster and much, much more.

Say hi @winnerisyoupod on twitter and/or BlueSky, watch us on YouTube, and please rate/review on your platform of choice - it probably helps.
