  • 33. Handheld Games
    Jun 24 2024

    Keep your stupid comments in your pocket... along with these handheld games! That's right, we're celebrating the pint-sized perfection that comes from holding a brilliant game in the palm of your hand while you take a monster shit to get away from the family for half an hour at Christmas.

    Oh, and Switch games are banned from our selection pool because, c'mon, that's cheatin'. Now you go get your sweet candy arse over to @VG_HOF and vote on the nominated game from this episode you want in the Hall of Fame.

  • 31. Games With Turnips
    May 20 2024

    The time has finally come to settle the ultimate argument as the deepest part of VGHOF lore has its moment in the sun. We are both - you and us - going to decide which game with turnips deserves Hall of Fame status. Drink it in, this is momentus.

    We also have the emails section ruined again by another potentially certified moon-howler. Why does this always happen to us?

    Don't forget to go vote on the poll over @VG_HOF and email us (unless you're a psycho) at videogamehof@gmail.com

  • 30. Bonus Inductions Special #3
    May 9 2024

    It's everyone's favourite episode type - the one where democracy dies! That's right, we're once again going back through the previous batch of episodes since episode 20 to each pick one game that didn't win a listener poll and just lob it straight into the Hall of Fame because it's ours and we can.

    Following that, we do a lot of admin where the next nine episodes are all laid out and the categories are set. There are going to be some crackers in the future, lads.

    Normally, that would be it, but during this episode it emerged that the legendary Grant Kirkhope had helped Alex and Banjo-Kazooie take control of the 3D platformers poll which eventually garnered over 4000 votes. The anger of the rest of the lads is genuine GOAT podcasting.

    Go vote on the topic you want us to pick from next @VG_HOF (gonna be a short one for a quick recording turnaround), email us at videogamehof@gmail.com and apologies for Steve's audio. It shit the bed and randomly turned itself to as quiet as possible, so he broke his brain trying to fix it and it's the best we could do. Won't happen again xx

  • 27. 1996 Games
    Mar 14 2024

    This episode's subject was the result of a random generation of a year in the 90s to pick games from. Now, full disclosure, we were initially rolled 1992 but realised how many games from that year we'd already inducted, so we did another one and got 1996!

    1996, as it turns out, was a year that some incredible things happened, and some iconic franchises were born. You can be sure we nominated a lot of those for the Hall of Fame.

    There's also a really thought-provoking question from Steve, two decent emails, and one from Shagger that ruined everything. Emails will never be the same again.

    Go vote for the game you want in the HOF over @VG_HOF, tell your mates to do the same, rate/review on your pod platform of choice, and tune in next time for Game of the Year Winners!
