The Video Game Hall of Fame

We're here to cram those pesky loser games from the last 8 episodes into the Hall of Fame whether you like it or not!

That's not all, though, as we actually induct FIVE games in this episode, because there's a quiz to play and the winner gets to induct ANY game that's lost from any previous episode.

You can play along with the quiz, and you also need to vote on the category we pick games from next. Head over to @VG_HOF on Twitter or @vghof on BlueSky to vote now!

Well, this feels topical doesn't it! Who doesn't love a good console launch (when the games don't cost £75)? We're here to celebrate Gaming Christmas by nominating four incredible console launch titles for potential induction into the Hall of Fame.

Oh, and skip to about 9:50 if you hate football and everything to do with it. We had to placate the Geordies just this once.

If you want to vote on the games, go to @VG_HOF on Twitter or @vghof on BlueSky and get on it. Also, send us an email to [email protected].

Put 'em up, punk! We're nominating fighting games for the Hall of Fame!

Voting's finished for this one (this is a re-upload), so listen to Episode 49 to find out the winning game!

We can be your hero, baby. That's right, we're here to kiss away your pain with four superhero game nominations for the Video Game Hall of Fame.

The pickings may be a bit slim, but we still come out of it with four bangers. Just remember that Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is already in the HOF so there's no rush to induct, say, its predecessor. Just FYI.

See you next time for fighting games!

What a console the PS2 is. So many classic games for us to nominate for the Hall of Fame (and a fair few we already have). Join us in a celebration of one of the GOATs.

Once you've heard the pod, head over to @VG_HOF on Twitter or @vghof on BlueSky to vote for the PS2 game you want in the HOF.

In this episode, we chill out by nominating therapeutic games for the Hall of Fame. Remember, therapy is a very subjective activity!

Voting's closed on this one now, so tune in to episode 46 to hear the winner.

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 you want to induct over on Twitter @VG_HOF or @vghof on BlueSky, and/or send us an email to [email protected]

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 for the game you want in the HOF on Twitter or BlueSky @VG_HOF or @vghof respectively, send us an email to [email protected] and have a very merry Christmas. See you next year, babes x

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!

We needed movie tie-in games only - no movie licence games! See if you can guess the one Rob was denied by his not-so-subtle hints later in the pod.

Go vote for the game you want in the Hall of Fame over @VG_HOF on Twitter or @vghof on BlueSky, and send us an email to [email protected]

Four bitter beings join together to force in games you peasants decided weren't good enough for our Hall of Fame. Well, bollocks to you, we're sticking four of them in anyway!

We also do some thoroughly exciting admin by deciding on the next run of episode themes. You'll love it! You'll also love the email we got from a returning amphibian.
