The podcast is back after our winter break! We've need a reset after nearly 20 hours of game of the year discussions , but it's time to get going with more new games, with another big year of games to come. Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana isn't technically new, but it is a new release, and both Lyle and Adam have been playing that with its new-era release. Elsewhere, Mick and Steve have been playing early access survival game ALOFT, but it seems to have quite a gimmick going for it. Lastly on t...

Day five of the GodisaGeek Game of the Year 2024 deliberations is here, and it's the big one, with our top ten of the year. Before we get to that, however, we do need to have a look forward to 2025 . There are some very big games looming on the horizon, like Death Stranding 2, or even Metroid Prime 4. But as is tradition, before we get to our top ten games of 2024, we do have the small matter of a top five most anticipated of next year, to decide first. After that though, it's what everyone come...

Day four of the GodisaGeek Game of the Year 2024 deliberations is here, and it's another bumper episode. While not quite as long as the epic day four from 2023, the team start out being worried about there not being enough good stories in 2024, before slowly realising it's actually been a rather incredible year for stories in games. As usual, we can't talk about stories and moments without spoilers, so be warned. We do try to avoid it unless necessary, but it is necessary a lot: sorry! ► Join ou...

It's time. It's finally time! Day one of the GodisaGeek Game of the Year 2024 deliberations is here, as the team of Adam, Chris H, Chris W, Mick, and Lyle with the now traditional bumper opening episode. Best re-release starts things off, and seems to be getting bigger and longer every year. Nicest surprise has a few moments that catch everyone out. Biggest disappointment... has gone for 2024. We decided to be positive and take the category we did in our bonus (Patreon Exclusive) day six episode...

On this episode of the podcast it's time to discuss one of the year's biggest games in the form of Dragon Age: The Veilguard , among others. It turns out that it takes time to play through games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard , so we kept our powder dry and waited for the expert, Chris Hyde, to be ready to speak about it, and now is that time; you lucky people. But somehow, that's not the only huge role-playing game we've been going hard at. Adam has been playing Mario & Luigi: Brothership f...

On this week’s episode of the podcast, it’s time to talk about Super Mario Party Jamboree , and find out what everyone thinks of the long-running series. Adam has played it at preview, and now for review, and is a big fan. But can he convince Chris Hyde and Chris White to play Super Mario Party Jamboree with him online, actually shelling out hard-earned money for the game? It’s also a good chance to check in with Chris White, as he played Silent Hill 2 for review, and now we can get to hear more...

The podcast returns and with it comes Lyle to chat lots about the latest Atlus RPG: Metaphor ReFantazio . Is it any good? Yes, probably. Adam has also seen Metaphor: ReFantazio through to credits, which means he and Lyle have had little time for much else, actually. Well no, that's not true, since both the duo have also been playing through Silent Hill 2 . No, not the original game, the much awaited remake. Has it been worth the wait? Did Bloober Team manage to do it? Listen to find out. But als...

On the latest episode of the podcast it's time to talk about a brand new game: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom . Adam had previously played some for a preview, but he's finished The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom now, and has reviewed it, with plenty to say about it. We even have some listener correspondence directly about the game itself. Elsewhere, Lyle hasn't talked about Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition yet, but wants to, and who is gonna stop him? Likewise Chris Hyde is co...

On the latest episode of the podcast, it's time to discuss a game that's been coming a very, very long time: UFO 50 . UFO 50 was actually announced back in 2017, and some 7 years later, all 50 games of UFO 50 are here to play, and Adam has been going through them slowly. You see, while these may look like smaller games as part of a collection, he explains that these are pretty much all fully fledged titles in their own right, with some caveats. Elsewhere, another game that has been long on the "...

On this edition of the podcast it's time to talk about something a little bit new, something you may not have heard of, and something slightly older. Chris White is back again on this episode to discuss Star Wars Outlaws , a game which has had a lot of mixed opinion and almost feels as though it's come and gone in rapid style, despite it being a brand new Star Wars game from a huge publisher. Looking back a bit further, Chris Hyde has gone back to Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden , a game the crew ...

What's that, a flying pig... no, it's actually a podcast about video games from us, and yes, we've got some explaining to do. While we've been away, so many games have come (and gone), but rather than make the first one back after a few months away a sixteen hour epic, we decided to talk about Astro Bot , which we're all loving. After that, it's time to see what Chris Hyde thinks of Visions of Mana , especially given the series contains one of his favourite games of all time. Lastly, it's time t...

The Summer is here on the podcast, meaning everyone is everywhere, but also, we get to chat to Chris White about Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 . Both he and Adam have finished it, and have a lot of thoughts about it, some of which are quite complicated. Interesting... Elsewhere, Lyle had a chance to play Multiversus before it came back, and the gang are wondering how it'll do it today's market. Chris White has also been playing Hades 2 , which, to everyone's absolute shock, is a very good game as we...

After a bit of a hiatus, the podcast is back and the games we have to talk about are an eclectic bunch, really running the gamut. If you're a Patreon supporter and have been keeping up on things in our Discord, you'll know that Adam and Chris Hyde are hopelessly addicted to factory building game Foundry . The safe and nice, peril-free world has them utterly compelled to build forever and more. Could this truly be a Satisfactory beater? But on the other hand, Chris Hyde has also been banging his ...
May 20, 2024•1 hr 18 min•Ep. 550
On this week's podcast it's time to talk about another massive JRPG, as Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes is out, and we've been playing it. Adam has played it and seen credits, and has a lot to say , while Lyle is still looking forward to getting into it further after previewing it. Chris Hyde is back this week, and who'd have though it, but he has thoughts on the mathematics at play in the game. Elsewhere, Lyle and Adam are both rather smitten with the demo build they played of Pipistrello and...

On this week's podcast, it's time to welcome back Chris White as he is here to talk about Harold Halbut, because why not? Lyle and Adam have also been playing through Biomorph, with varying results of happiness from doing so. Elsewhere, Adam has played a little bit of The Rogue Prince of Persia, which isn't Dead Cells, but also sorta-kinda is. Of course, we make time for questions from the listeners, too, from our lovely Discord community via Patreon, especially since we had to cut the last epis...

This week's podcast sees the gang... well, talking about Dragon's Dogma 2 some more, since Chris Hyde is here to discuss his archery adventures. But all three of this week's hosts have also finished a game called Minishoot Adventures , which technically speak is called Minishoot' Adventures, though nobody seems to know why the apostrophe is there. Elsewhere, Adam wants to briefly talk about Princess Peach: Showtime! since he reviewed that a few weeks ago, and it was a lovely time. Of course, we ...

Well, you wait for massive games and then three come along at once and all need talking about on a podcast. Phew. And it's not exactly just the "size" of the games we're talking here, but the fact that they are just "big" names as well. Dragon's Dogma 2 is here, after over ten years of people wanting it, and most of us have played it. Do we like it? Was it worth the wait? Speaking of comebacks, Alone in the Dark has been sort-of soft-rebooted, with a brand new game that's more like Resident Evil...
Mar 25, 2024•1 hr 15 min•Ep. 546
It's podcast time, which means loads of games, including some absolutely massive RPGs that we've all been playing. Since we've been away we've been playing so many games, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth , which one of us has finished, the other is halfway through, and the other, despite it being his most wanted game of the year, hasn't even started. In fairness, that's likely because he's been hammering through Unicorn Overlord, while the rest of us just leisurely enjoy our space farming survi...

It's time for a podcast comeback, as we've been away for nearly a month. Will we explain? Probably not! What this all means, though, is a quick chat about four games we've been playing, and since we managed to wrangle Chris White for the podcast, he's gonna chat about some of his recently reviewed titles. First up we've got the Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons Remake , which Chris adores, and Adam tries to remember. Next on the list, Pacific Drive is unlike anything we've really played before, and i...

On this week's podcast we're still playing lots of incredibly long role playing games , but also, Suicide Squad is out. Chris Hyde is slowly making his way through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth , while Adam is trying to finish Persona 3 Reload , a task which Lyle has already managed. It's not helping that Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is now available, and we have some thoughts on that, as we've been playing for a few hours now. Of course, listener correspondence is an eve...

This week's podcast we can finally talk about those big games we've been playing, or a few of them, at least! Not only is it Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth time, it's also time for justice: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy time. As Lyle has been playing Capcom's trilogy for a while now, Adam has been having the time of his life in Hawaii, finishing off the latest in Ichiban and Kasuga's tale. Elsewhere, all three of the gang (Chris Hyde is back, finally!) have been playing a lovely indie cal...

As promised last week on the podcast, we've been playing some big games, but also some indies. So it's a mixture of both this week. Lyle and Adam have been playing Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, which is a lovely indie title that might have a bad name, but is worth your time. Meanwhile, Mick has been playing Welcome to ParadiZe for preview, and Adam has been testing out the No Return rogue-lite mode in The Last of Us Part II Remastered , while also checking on the new features. ► Join our Discord: http...

As the year cranks slowly into life, that can only mean one thing: it's time for a first podcast of 2024. The usual podcast catch-up has to happen, so we can find out what people have been playing over the Christmas period, but for Adam and Lyle that mostly involves Fortnite . That said, the pair have also been playing Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown , a triple-A MetroidVania , which has enamoured pretty much the entire team, so let's chat about why, shall we, and perhaps discuss if more big st...

It all comes down to one final push for the GodisaGeek Game of the Year 2023 podcast. It's top ten time! But first up, we need to talk about next year. 2023 may have been one of the most incredible years in gaming in a very long time, but 2024 is shaping up pretty nicely already . We have to decide on whether games will definitely come out, and make a top five, then use all our previous week of deliberations after talking about best multiplayer, visuals, audio, re-releases, and everything else. ...

Day four of the GodisaGeek Game of the Year 2023 deliberations is here, and it's the longest episode we think we've ever done. If yesterday was the worst of us, arguing and bickering, today is the best of us. A full on cornucopia of game love, as we discuss the best stories and moments from the entire year. It's been one of the best years in the history of gaming , but as usual, we can't talk about stories and moments without spoilers, so be warned. We do try to avoid it unless necessary, but it...

We're back with the third of the Game of the Year 2023 awards from GodisaGeek - and be warned, it's getting hot now. Best multiplayer is more stacked than we thought this year, and it's no shock we've been enjoying games like Remnant 2 as a team, but best new character? Corr, that's a spicy one. Emotions will run high and friendships will be broken. Not really, we're all still friends, but hey, it does get spicy. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Pa...

Well here we are again, with the second of the Game of the Year 2023 awards from GodisaGeek - and we're just getting warmed up. It's time to discuss the best audio and visual experiences of the year, and it's been an incredible one. Hi-Fi Rush looked and sounded great, remember that one? Does it make a list after everything has been said and discussed though? You'll have to watch or listen to find out. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/G...

Well here we are again, with the first day of the Game of the Year 2023 awards from GodisaGeek - a plethora of hours of podcasts await you, listener. As is tradition on day one of the podcast, the first three awards up for debate for GOTY 2023 are best re-release (HD remaster, remakes, etc), nicest surprise (something that happened, or a game that came from left field somehow), and biggest disappointment (a more nebulous award, which can be a game we wanted to be good that was not, or something ...
