Episode 118: The best game that lets YOU control the narrative 33:38

18d ago33:38

33:38

Interactivity is this medium's entire thing. It's a composite of many other art forms: everything from prose, to sculpture, to television. What it cribs from those things is often its weakest work, but what it does brilliantly and almost singularly is give the audience some control within the experience. All art is interactive on some level, in tha…

Episode 117: The best game that is HATED by its publisher 39:42

29d ago39:42

39:42

Sometimes a game comes along that is, for reasons, a bit a of a black sheep as far as its parent company is concerned. It could be a passion project that doesn't tick any zeigeisty boxes, a legacy IP that the current owners have no clue what to do with, sometimes even a perfectly decent game that the court of public opinion has turned sour on and t…

SBFVGS - EP.200: The SBFVGS 200th Episode Spectacular! 2:10:39

2:10:39

In this special 200th episode of Super Best Friends Video Game Sleepover, Adam, Mike, and David gather to celebrate a decade of podcasting together. They kick off the show by discussing the games they’ve been playing recently, including Adam's thoughts on God of War Ragnarök and Alan Wake Remastered, David’s frustrations with the punishing bosses i…

Episode 116: Expansions that are better than the main game 47:18

1M ago47:18

47:18

Add-on content for video games is often worthless, but it can sometimes go very, very right: just look at the DLC catalogue for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. It infamously introduced the gaming landscape to the concept of horse armour, or paid cosmetic items in single player titles, which was widely condemned as a cynical cash-grab (even so, the …

Episode 114: Rings of Power? 44:43

2M ago44:43

44:43

Gaming is full of rings of power: from RPG trinkets that give your character a small but pivotal buff to a critical stat, warp rings that provide instantaneous transport for Sonic the Hedgehog, and beastly racing circuits. Not to mention, er, the actual rings of power from Lord of the Rings. Season 2 of Amazon Prime's Rings of Power inspired this t…

Episode 113: The best game that outlived its biggest competitor 37:39

2M ago37:39

37:39

Who won out of Star Citizen and Elite Dangerous, the crowdfunded space sim sensations pitched to us a decade ago by two of the genre's most celebrated game directors? Star Citizen being a spiritual follow up to Wing Commander and Privateer, and Elite Dangerous being a direct sequel to Elite, Frontier: Elite 2 and Frontier: First Encounters. Well, i…

Episode 112: The best games that BRICKED consoles 47:14

2M ago47:14

47:14

If you were lucky enough to have lived through the 7th console generation as a young adult with enough disposable income to buy a couple of games per month, you ate damn well. You probably have countless fond memories of each big new watercooler game that the studios of the day were firing out with alarming regularity, and you had no idea what the …

Episode CXI: The best Star Wars game that isn't a Star Wars game? 42:06

3M ago42:06

42:06

Inspired by the recent release of Star Wars Outlaws, this week's podcast is all about what makes Star Wars, something we're exploring via the unorthodox path of picking a bunch of things that aren't Star Wars and pointing out the ways they are like Star Wars. Confused? Don't be, it's just an excuse to have arguments. Star Wars is a massive media fr…

Episode 110: Best game with the most pointless feature 35:14

3M ago35:14

35:14

Sometimes video games include the most random things, but who doesn't love that stuff? We all get excited when you can flush a toilet or turn on a tap, even though these are the most mundane actions possible in the 'real world'. Jim, in his wisdom(?), decided that these neat little features are pointless and made everyone pick the most useless of a…

Episode 109: Best game on the worst console 40:45

3M ago40:45

40:45

Video games are great, but sometimes you just have to admit that some of them are only available on consoles that, well, aren't great. Rubbish, even. You can guarantee an argument if you ask people to pick the worst games console, so that's what we did. But what is the best game on this worst console? Who showed their ineptitude and picked a game o…

Episode 108: What's the best game where you can do a wee wee 32:03

4M ago32:03

32:03

Video games are unparalleled in recreating real and fictional experiences. Only when both are channelled well, with love and passion, can a game transcend its place as merely a product and become art. For this reason being able to take a piss in-game is paramount to the merits of the medium. Where would we be without Norman Reedus widdling onto the…

Episode 107: Best game that should have been an email 37:32

It's time for another episode of the Best Games Ever Podcast. This time we've got a great topic as Tom picked it. Join Jim, Tom, Connor, and Sherif as the gang ponders such a brilliant topic and attempts to come up with suitably amazing answers. Spoiler: Only Tom has a good answer.

Episode 106: Put Biden In Smash 38:47

Episode 105: The best game you were glad to see the back of 46:40

4M ago46:40

46:40

You wait years and years for something to finally be over, and once that day comes, you’re left not with a sense of joy, but with a deep-set anxiety about what comes after. Bereft. Unable to enjoy the simple joy of being free, because you’ve been around the block a bit, and you know how these things go. Sigh. But enough about finishing Morrowind. R…

Episode 104: The Best Game that has aged like a Fine Wine 32:23

5M ago32:23

32:23

Most games age like milk in the hot sun. But some are so bold, so brilliant, that they transcend their contemporary era, remaining relevant and highly playable for years or even decades following their release. But which of these has most aged like a fine bottle of fermented grapes, mashed between someone's manky toes? To find out you'll simply hav…

Episode 102: What’s the best game that had the worst reveal trailer? 44:01

5M ago44:01

44:01

Many great games have suffered from poor marketing. Sometimes they’re advertised to entirely the wrong demographic. Other times, they’re partnered with uncool or problematic brands. A lot of the time they’re just hard to explain, and need to be experienced to properly understand, so unless you can get a significant number of people to try a demo yo…

The Wonderful 101: Best game where everyone's mad at you but you did nothing wrong 28:23

5M ago28:23

28:23

It won't have escaped your notice, dear viewer or listener, that the last episode - our incredible two-part 100th episode special quickfire edition - featured six contestants instead of the usual three. It may have escaped your notice, however, that 50% of them were not actually VG247 staff. This has caused certain ripples at VG247 Towers. Realisin…

To recap: for the 100th episode we decided to come up with 100 episode topics and blow them all on one huge quiz round, with individual buzzers and everything. Inviting some favourite guests to return (Owen, Richie, and Burns) with the promise that, yes, however many points you score in this mammoth episode will be added to your overall total for t…

Episode 100: The Big Quickfire Special PART ONE 52:41

6M ago52:41

52:41

One-hundred episodes. 100 weeks of The Best Games Ever podcast. I can scarcely believe it. On a personal note, it's been wonderful to host this stupid, daft, funny, sometimes even informative show about games past and present, with its mad politics and meta-games, running gags, plot twists, special guests, and so on. Tom asked me to host it on a fr…

SBFVGS - Ep.199: Are AAA Games Dying? 1:32:37

6M ago1:32:37

1:32:37

In this episode, Adam and David sit down with the handsomely-faced Eric Krueger (may his handsome face be praised) to chat about the games they’re currently playing, including Hades and Hades II, Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarök, and Tunic. They then dive into the latest news, discussing rumors about Valve’s new game, Larian’s new development stud…

Episode 99: The best game with WET guys that DRY OFF 35:10

6M ago35:10

35:10

Realistic water and wetness were seen for years as a litmus test for photorealistic graphics, but by the PS3 generation, developers had it nailed: water shaders had become so sophisticated that Nathan Drake would emerge from a full dousing of seawater and slowly dry off, with his clothes soaked, and skin glistening. It was a mesmerising effect: it’…

Episode 98: The best game with shooting where you don't get a gun for ages 34:32

7M ago34:32

34:32

Whatever your attitude to guns in real life (for the record, they’re awful and civilians shouldn’t have them), it’s hard not to become a sort of virtual gun nut when you’re a gaming enthusiast because, inevitably, our primary interaction with game worlds is shooting bullets into them. Even games which emphatically are not shooters often feature gun…

SBFVGS - Ep.198: Celebrating Gabe Patillo 1:04:11

1:04:11

Adam, Mike, and David sit down together to remember and celebrate the life of their friend, Gabe Patillo. They discuss his legacy, the impact he left on them, and share fun memories they have with him. After the discussion, we play some hand-selected clips of Gabe throughout the many years and times he appeared on our show. Gabe was a very funny gu…

The best game in which you fight a bear 38:46

38:46

Hello and welcome to episode 97 of the Best Games Ever Podcast. As is traditional, let us give you some information about the show. This week we are looking for our contestants to think of the best game in which you fight a bear. Let's see if anyone decides to subvert the topic in ways that cause mutiny within the ranks. As ever, host Jim Trinca mu…

The best game they wouldn't get away with these days!!!! 35:46

7M ago35:46

35:46

You can’t say anything these days! Is what silly people say, a lot. You can actually say whatever you like. You can say, for example, and with confidence, that there are certain things you could get away with in gaming thirty years ago that simply wouldn’t fly now. Like… racing games with only one track. Platformers with a length of 20mins if you’r…

The best game where your family DITCHES you 29:51

7M ago29:51

29:51

Inspired by the (frankly excellent) Fallout TV show, this week on VG247's Best Games Ever podcast I've tasked my colleagues with finding the best game where a family member ditches you. With the prerequisite understanding that none of them are allowed to pick Fallout 3, the quintessential "dad's buggered off" simulator. As it turns out, being forsa…

A free game we’d love to pay for – The Best Games Ever Podcast episode 94 29:43

8M ago29:43

29:43

Inspired by the recent free drop of current viral sensation Content Warning – a co-op survival “shooter” about making spooky FauxTube videos with three of your mates – this week’s Best Games Ever podcast is all about freebies that we’d happily pay for. It’s a happy coincidence that this topic coincides with the launch of our extended podcast: a pai…

Episode 93: Best game everyone on social media says you should hate but is actually good 59:56

8M ago59:56

59:56

The Best Games Ever podcast is a game show where three totally normal and socially acceptable panellists have to find the best game in a peculiar category such as "Best game with a breakfast buffet", or "Best game with loads of vandalism". They have to pitch their pick to our host, Jim, who uses his power to decide the winner. But there's a lot of …

Episode 92: The best Deep Impact to another game's Armageddon? 1:10:24

8M ago1:10:24

1:10:24

Big Western style open-world RPGs from beloved Japanese studios who tend to be known for other things (inhale) are like buses: there's none for ages, and then two come along at once! See also: Clinton-era disaster movies about Earth getting clobbered by an asteroid. See also: Clinton-era disaster movies about America getting clobbered by volcanoes.…

Episode 91: The best unofficial adaptation of a movie or TV show 1:02:01

8M ago1:02:01

1:02:01

It’s clear from Helldivers 2’s marketing that the game is directly inspired by Blair-era Dutch arthouse anti-war movie Starship Troopers. It’s also clear from playing it that Warhammer 40,000 and the future war bits of Terminator have made their mark on the project, and with its sprawling, player led, strictly PVE campaign engendering a keen sense …

Adam has returned both to the podcast and to "God of War Ragnarok," drawn back by its narrative and action, while David has dived into "Baldur's Gate 3," experimenting with mods to enhance his gameplay experience. PattyHayesJr, on the other hand, recounts his adventure…

Episode 90: The best game with a load of sand in it 56:33

8M ago56:33

56:33

It's been long and arduous road to something resembling a worthy adaptation of Frank "dirty" Herbert's sand-based epic Dune, but with the recent release of Denis Villeneuve's Dune 2, we can safely call that one done. I just hope we get enough sequels for the films to start covering such nonsense as half-worm emperors and chair dogs. Aside from the …

Episode 89: The best live service game that you like despite itself 1:07:16

9M ago1:07:16

1:07:16

If you're anything like me, nothing makes you lose interest in a game quicker than the words "always online". Or "free-to-play". Or "connected experience", or whatever other marketing terms they've come up with for "live service grindfest that sucks". Sometimes they don't even tell you upfront that it's a GAAS title, leaving it up to the prospectiv…

9M ago51:17

51:17

Physical game releases have been in danger of disappearing for a long time, what with Steam all but killing the PC optical drive, a cheaper discless PS5, and the rumoured incoming Xbox Series refresh which will do away with bluray even on the premium model. They're not likely to die off entirely: there will always be holdouts in the die-hard enthus…

The best game you hate that everyone loves 43:40

9M ago43:40

43:40

Sometimes it's just really baffling why certain games are popular. And you wonder to yourself if it's just because you're broken in some way. What malfunction or defect from birth would lead someone to, say, think Horizon Zero Dawn is a load of cobblers? We're here to reassure you that it's fine, actually, to just not get Mass Effect. To look on in…

Do NOT mention this game on the podcast 40:01

What's the best game that has no business being brought up on a podcast that's all about the Best Games Ever? If you can get your head around that, you're already way ahead of our regular panel. Some of the worst games ever made are also the most interesting. Take Night Trap, for example: it's arguably one of the most important games in the history…

Honestly, we've got no idea what episode this is. Jim thinks this is Season 2, which is news to everyone else, but it's also sort of episode 84. This week we pick the games that we just can't stop going back to. The games that, despite knowing we have newer titles to work through, we play at every opportunity. Do you have one? Oh, and we introduce …

2023 games you FORGOT about 37:56

So much STUFF game out in 2023 - we had Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a new Baldur's Gate, a Skyrim sequel which introduced such innovations to the series as: Guns and Boring. Starfield, I'm talking about. And you knew that, but I have to spell it out in the body text because a certain tech giant has taken wordplay, nuance, and creativity out onto t…

Podcast Audit #3: Tom reveals the guest he hates the most 43:22

11M ago43:22

43:22

We have a lot of guests on the VG247 podcast because we know a lot of Games Media Personalities and most of them are too polite and/or socially inept to say "no" when we ask them to be on our podcast. In the last year we've had such Talented Greats as Mike Channel from Outside Xbox And Things and James Batchelor who has written some books. But whic…

Episode 81: Best game that's a Spin-off into a completely different genre 55:58

12M ago55:58

55:58

The VG247 crew is back to decide on yet another Best Game Ever. In this week's show we're looking at games that are spin-off from a game in a totally different genre. So, things like how Mario Kart is a 'Mario' game but not a 2D platformer that the series became famous for. You get the idea. As always, our host Jim Trinca makes a complete mess of p…

Recently, our friend and long time VG247 contributor Sherif Saed gave Pinnochio-themed soulslike Lies of P a bit of a pasting in his review. Our two star score prompted a lot of backlash from some quarters, and also a bit of internal discussion about the nature of opinion pieces. How reviews can sometimes be a flashpoint of controversy, and how sco…
