This week's podcast is back to modern gaming, with Mick having played Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty , while Fire Emblem Engage is out now, too. Adam loves that, and Mick loves Wo Long, but what does Chris Hyde think of his game for this week's show? The 70s was before most of our time, but Colossal Cave is a remake of a very old, very classic game: does it hold up? Chris is here to tell us. Or, yeah, you could read his review, I suppose. There's always plenty of listener questions, too, so plenty to c...

No, we haven’t gone back in time for this week’s podcast, we really have been playing Returnal and Overwatch 2 . But thankfully, Lyle has saved the day and kept us hip, modern, and current, thanks to playing through One Piece Odyssey . Returnal is being played because of our Patreon Discord, which inspired Adam to go back, while Overwatch 2 has finally grabbed Chris Hyde (and Lyle, a bit) and the gang are regularly playing. But do they actually like it? Meanwhile One Piece Odyssey is the big gam...

How do you follow up ending the year with 12+ hours of podcast audio ? You just carry on, and do another podcast , that's how. While we did get to chat about both High on Life and Chained Echoes for the GOTY shows , neither were quite released early enough to allow us all to have played them. So along with Sports Story , the gang are all caught up now and ready to dish the opinions out, while also not forgetting Need for Speed Unbound , which snuck out late in the year, and we never quite manage...

It's all come down to this: the final day of the GOTY 2022 podcast awards from us. A top 10 of 2022, and a top 5 most anticipated of 2023. For years now we've been looking forward to Breath of the Wild 2, which we know now is called The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. But are we still hyped for it? What about Street Fighter 6? Is Resident Evil 4 a game that still has that pulling power even in 2023, and the same could be asked of Dead Space! It's time to count down the top 10 games of 202...

Day four means we're nearing the end, but it's spoiler-day, as it's time for the GOTY 2022 podcast discussion on best story and best moment. Best moment has traditionally been a section where our favourite stories get the full breakdown, so it's worth trying to get the biggest games played before you listen to this episode. God of War, Horizon, all the big boys are here, but there's a lot of little guys that provided brilliant stories and moments in 2022, too. There's a load of ways you can keep...

Day three of the GOTY 2022 podcast deliberations is here, and it's time to discuss playing with others, and the best new character. It's been such a weird year for multiplayer, with games being brilliant but also upsetting, and given the amount of new IP and entries into huge, long-running franchises, you can be there's some interesting names on the list of best new character. You can also bet Mick will try to shoehorn Destiny 2 in here, again, somehow. There's a load of ways you can keep up to ...

We're into day two of the GOTY 2022 celebrations podcast, and it's time to discuss best audio, and best visuals. This is usually the shortest day as our team is focussed on other areas, but best audio and best visuals this year might end up being a car crash due to how ridiculous some of the candidates look and sound. There's a load of ways you can keep up to date on all things GOTY 2022 here, this December, on GodisaGeek, but it's worth noting you can hear all the episodes a week early, every y...

Well here we are again, with the first day of the GOTY 2022 awards from GodisaGeek – a plethora of hours of podcasts await you, friend. As is tradition on day one of the podcast, the first three awards up for debate for GOTY 2022 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 negative that ...

It may have a ridiculous title, but don't think that's going to stop Adam and Lyle talking about Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion on this week's podcast . Elsewhere, Ship of Fools is a game you may not have heard about, but perhaps you should find room in your busy game-playing schedule for it, as it's pretty good! Marvel's Midnight Suns is what Adam has mostly been playing, which isn't a surprise given how long it is, while Chris Hyde has been playing God of War Ragnarok , and surely he'...

It's podcast time, and we've got some huge games to talk about, like the new Pokemon title: the ninth generation is here. Adam has played all of Pokemon Scarlet , while Chris Hyde has played all of The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me. Has Mick played all of Marvel's Midnight Suns? No. But he's allowed to give some brief impressions on it so far, so that's pretty exciting. ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ✔ SUBSCRIBE:...

It's big-games season on the podcast. With God of War Ragnarok out now, and Sonic Frontiers also greeting the world, the biggest names in gaming are trying to wrestle coin from your wallet. Are they worth your time and money? We had to get Chris White in to talk God of War, of course, and Lyle and Adam have both been playing Sonic Frontiers, so can dish the dirt. Meanwhile, indie games are still coming, and Humble Games continues its record with Ghost Song, another really nice title that nobody ...

This week's podcast is all about games, there's a shock, right? Adam has been playing and enjoying Bayonetta 3, while Chris Hyde has completed the Rose DLC that comes with Resident Evil Village: Winters' Expansion. He's also been a naughty boy and played some scary stuff early in the form of The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, which is apparently the last one in the first season of that series. Lyle has played Ghostbusters, the recently released multiplayer game, so there's a chance fo...

We're well land truly into "big game season" on the podcast now, so much so that the lads had to take last week off to play this week's games. Adam has been playing Gotham Knights, and sadly doesn't agree with Chris White's review. He's also put 25-odd hours into Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, which he did enjoy, but doesn't think is as good as it could have been. Chris Hyde, however, has spent 20-40 hours playing and guiding A Plague Tale Requiem. Can playing it for guides ruin his love for th...

How do you do a podcast after you hit episode 500? Well you talk about Elden Ring , for a start, which Lyle has finally bothered to actually play. How kind of him. But Overwatch 2 is also out, and is having launch problems despite being great -- though by the time you hear this / read this, it's probably fine... right? Elsewhere, Adam has played Nier: Automata again on Switch and is as in love with the game as ever. Of course more listener correspondence comes in this week, so we'll get to that ...

Who would ever have thought we'd make it to 500 episodes of a podcast. Well, me. Because I've been on most of them, and also because technically we're nearer 600 that 500, but we haven't numbered a lot of the episodes due to them being "game of the year", or "extra" or "bonus" episodes, or even spoilercasts. Regardless, it's episode 500. The 500th birthday of the best podcast of all time. That's right, each episode is a birthday for a podcast. Did you know that? You do now. Anyway, aside that, i...

This is why we shouldn't be allowed to take a week off doing the podcast. A bumper crop of hosts (four) meets a ridiculous slate of games to discuss (eight!), combined with listener correspondence. This is gonna be a bumper episode. BUMPER! Chris White is on hand to talk about his recent foray into The DioField Chronicle, which Adam loves just as much as he does. Likewise, Shovel Knight Dig is fresh in the minds of both Adam and Lyle. Immortality has been on the shelf for too long, so a big old ...

On this week’s podcast, Adam has been playing the final version of Splatoon 3 and while he thinks it’s great, he does understand why some may not be overly excited about it. Disney Dreamlight Valley has also been keeping Adam busy, as it’s an Animal Crossing-style game, only with Disney, which doesn’t bode well for everyone’s free time. Meanwhile Lyle has been all over Circus Electrique, a fascinating turn-based RPG, which Adam has also been dabbling with. If there’s time, the gang will chat abo...

If you cast your mind back, we never spoke about Ooblets on the podcast when it initially hit early access, but with Lyle playing the Switch version, he has plenty to say on the matter. Adam has been playing through The Last of Us Part I , and that means the dreaded price conversation is going to come up, but he's also played Destroy All Humans! 2 - Reprobed . Chris Hyde, however, has finally started Cult of the Lamb , and Mr Nice surely won't be negative, will he? ► Join our Discord: https://di...

The games really do keep coming now, as this week's podcast the gang have been playing Saints Row. Adam and Chris Hyde have played some co-op and also some of the game on their own, and have some interesting thoughts about all things Saints Row. Elsewhere, Lyle, Adam, and Chris Hyde have all played Tinykin, and think it's adorable and shouldn't be a game people ignore (hence talking about it on the podcast), and then, before the listener correspondence mega-reveal, Adam went to Nintendo HQ to pl...

It seems that indie games are taking over the podcast right now, with Chris White back to extol the virtues of the fantastic Rollerdrome. But that’s not all, he’s also been playing Arcade Paradise, while Lyle has been Cursed to Golf. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/GodisaGeek ✔ SUBSCRIBE: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=GodisaGeek...

We're starting to get into the business end of the year when it comes to games on the podcast this week. Adam and Lyle have been caught out by indie title Cult of the Lamb, while Chris Hyde has been playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Elsewhere, Chris has also played (and reviewed) Two Point Campus, a game which Adam definitely doesn't keep calling Two Point Hospital. In terms of catching up, Adam has played Neon White now, and has thoughts on that, while he's also been playing Marvel's Spider-Man R...

On this week's podcast, it's time to dissect Xenoblade Chronicles 3, along with a long overdue chat about Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. Chris Hyde has been playing Lord Winklebottom Investigates, which is notable for its characters, we reckon. Lyle has been a good boy and done his homework, playing through As Dusk Falls, but also finding time to get some Neon White time in, thanks to his Steam Deck. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us via Patreon: http://Patreon.com/God...

It's been the longest break in the podcast outside of Christmas for years, so what's the excuse? Well, all will be explained... But the lads are back to talk about the games they've been playing for the past three weeks (again, sorry) which means Live A Live has been previewed and reviewed. Stray has come to PlayStation Plus Deluxe, and the gang are excited to talk about the latest cat-game. Hell Pie is a 3D platformer that Lyle has been excited about for ages, and both he and Adam Cook have fin...

It might be time to eat the humblest of humble pie for Adam on on this week's podcast. He's played and reviewed Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, and he loves it. That means, yes, he likes a musou game. Imagine if he plays and enjoys Fall Guys next, the world might fall asunder? Chris Hyde has Minecraft Dungeons and Fallout 76 in co-op, who would have guessed? What else can the gang chat about this week, will there be any surprises?
Jun 27, 2022•1 hr 11 min•Ep. 491
It’s been a hell of a few weeks in gaming podcast land, hasn’t it? Not-E3 has come and gone (though it sort of won’t leave), and while it’s all fresh in everyone’s minds, so is The Quarry, because Adam and Chris have played through that, and have thoughts on it. Likewise, part of Not-E3 was the surprise announcement of TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge getting a release date which is, well, it’s in the past now, because it’s out now!! Lyle, meanwhile has been busying himself with Freezer Pops, and if you...

It's a simple two-person podcast this week, with a lot of indie games to talk about. Adam and Lyle have been playing Card Shark, which looks fantastic, but is it? Lyle has also been platforming around in Kao the Kangaroo, and... Limbo/Inside-ing it up in Silt, which is out now. Lyle has also been playing an FMV game called "Who pressed mute on Uncle Marcus?" which... well, you'll just have to listen to find out what that's all about. ► Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/EGQUs9d9 ► Support us v...

It's that time of year again on the podcast, when the previews come thick and fast. Chris Hyde has been able to play some of The Quarry, and hopes are high from the rest of the podcast gang that it's a return to the Until Dawn type of game that helped the studio become so successful. Meanwhile Adam Cook has been playing a bit of Two Point Campus, and thinks people will be happy with the sequel so far. Lyle has been exploring the world of smaller games in Floppy Knights and Arcade Spirits, one of...

In a shock to everyone involved, this week's podcast sees Adam Cook and Chris Hyde talking about another co-op experience they've been having. As if a playthrough of We Were here Forever wasn't enough, Adam has been back to Rainbow Six Extraction and brought Chris back to the fold there, too. Lyle has been playing Eiyuden Chronicle: Rising, but this time not in a preview sense. He's also been playing the surprise shadow drop from the Nintendo Indie Showcase, Soundfall. ► Join our Discord: https:...

While the gang wait for big games to talk about on the podcast, it seems most of us have fallen back down an Astroneer shaped hole. But there are new games, and Game Pass has come to the rescue for Lyle, with Chinatown Detective Agency. Meanwhile, Chris Hyde has been playing Rogue Legacy 2 now it's out of early access. Nintendo Switch Sports has been keeping Adam busy, but he's feeling a bit gloomy after getting the platinum on Elden Ring, and not quite getting the platinum on Tiny Tina's Wonder...

This week’s podcast features something (very) old as well as many new things, like Nintendo Switch Sports. Adam has been playing that with anyone he can force to hold a Joy-Con, but he and Chris Hyde have also somehow found time to sink well over ten hours into No Man’s Sky, with a fresh save. Elsewhere on episode 485, Lyle has been playing through Bugsnax for the “Isle of Bigsnax” expansion/DLC. Also, thanks to a broken PC, his impressions of Midnight Ghost Hunt were delayed but are finally her...
