Welcome to the Video Game Deathmatch GOTY Awards 2024, our second ever awards ceremony, live from the bombed out remains of a post-nuclear warzone where the remnants of humanity are being hunted by deadly machines controlled by Peter Molyneux's rogue AI game engine. Hopefully things will run more smoothly than last year, at least. Fewer hecklers, at least.

The games nominated for this year's awards include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Metaphor: Refantazio, Astro Bot, Helldivers 2, and more!

Featuring Auld Lang Syne, composed by Kāru.

Join Andy as he celebrates the season with some festive-themed video games - featuring Batman: Arkham Origins, Yakuza Kiwami, Hitman: Blood Money, Snatcher, and Elf Bowlin - and here's hoping nothing horribly violent or inappropriate happens since it's Christmas. 

Join Andy as he struggles to fulfil his duties as the assistant manager of a Fortress of Evil while his Dark Lord is on holiday. Overseeing the construction of a torture chamber, dealing with troublesome adventurers, and overseeing unwanted union meetings - it's all there, getting in the way of him analysing and comparing two diabolically-inclined base building games: Dungeon Keeper (1997) and Evil Genius 2 (2021).

Join Andy as he pits two of cinema's greatest fleshy metal men against each other, with an episode dedicated to Terminator vs RoboCop, all while trying to make it in a dangerous 1980s dystopia.

Closing Theme by Infraction.

Join Andy as he attempts to run an isolated farm during a zombie apocalypse, all while trying to break down what makes a good Walking Dead game - focusing on Telltale's iconic 2012 title and 2023's The Walking Dead: Destinies. 

Music by Ross Bugden.

Join Andy as he attempts to escape a city under attack from a giant monster, all while trying to analyse and assess which game is better - 2004's Godzilla: Save the Earth or 2023's Skull Island: Rise of Kong.

Andy is a gritty, serious monster hunter embarking on a not all that epic adventure to find a Lord's missing son. With the aid of his alcoholic child sidekick, Barnabus, Andy must traverse treacherous forests and face down terrifying dangers - all while trying to analyse and discuss which is the superior game: The Witcher 3 or Final Fantasy XVI. 

Andy is a criminal rising through the ranks of the mob, all while trying to discuss the pros and cons of two iconic crime sims.

Welcome to a new era of Video Game Deathmatch! Formerly a 1UP Pod spin-off, this show pits two video games against each other over five rounds to see which one is the superior game.

This episode is all about two of Rockstar's definitive open world crime sagas - GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas.

Andy is trying to run a cute & relaxing farm - all while comparing cozy life sims Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing: New Horizons - so hopefully nothing sinister or violent happens.

Andy hosts the first annual Video Game Deathmatch GOTY Awards - including Baldur's Gate 3, Alan Wake II, Tears of the Kingdom, and more!
