We may be halfway through January already, but 2024 doesn't officially end until we've decided our prestigious Game of the Year Awards!
The categories, as is now the standard, are:
Best Story, Best Gameplay, Most Bullshit, Best Surprise, Worst Game, Outsider Award (best non-pod game), Best Game, Most Anticipated 2025 Podcast Game, and Most Anticipated 2025 New Release.
Enjoy the rambling, long awards show and tell us what you thought over @winnerisyoupod on either Twitter or BlueSky (preferably the latter).

What a way to close out 2024, eh? There's something quintessentially Christmassey about sticking on an Indiana Jones movie, so we decided we'd play one in Machine Games' latest masterpiece.
We dive deep into the gameplay, story, mysteries, puzzles, characters, combat and much, much more.
Say hi to us on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod and have a bloody brilliant new year. See you in 2025!

Snaaaaake Eeeeeeeaaaaaterrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
That's right, we're rounding off the original MGS trilogy with what many believe to be its finest hour. Join us in celebration of MGS3's 20th birthday as we have a deep dive into its gameplay, impact, bosses and all the insane details you may have missed!
Come say hi to use on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod

Happy birthday, PlayStation, you old bastard! 30 years of Sony's iconic, game-changing machine needs to be acknowledged and celebrated with more than just a grey PS5 controller, so we're here to throw a proper party.
We've got memories of the console, anecdotes from childhood, a look through our PS1 games collections and our individual top 10 lists of PS1 games. It's a warm and fuzzy pod for those cold winter nights.
Follow us on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod, and give us a rating or review on your pod platform of choice!

Don't feel old, mate. We're all in this together, ageing like fine wine. Has Halo 2 done the same, or is it old and embarassing like your dad?
We talk through everything - gameplay, story, marketing, multiplayer, the 2014 remaster and much, much more.
Say hi @winnerisyoupod on twitter and/or BlueSky, watch us on YouTube, and please rate/review on your platform of choice - it probably helps.

Yeah, not the remake. We both bought the terribly-optimised PC version and... nah. Unplayable.
But hey, the original Silent Hill 2 is a masterpiece and one of the greatest horror games, if not the greatest, ever made. We have an epic chat about this seminal, groundbreaking game that is just as unsettling now as it was in 2001.
Trigger warning: this podcast contains discussions about sexual assault, mental illness, terminal illness, euthanasia, suicide and more dark topics that you probably already know are in the game. Just letting you know now - this pod gets pretty heavy at times.
Rate/review/sub, tell your friends, say hi to us on Twitter @winnerisyoupod.

It's spooky season once again, and we are nothing if not men of tradition. It's a two-parter this year, and first up is a game we've wanted to play for years: Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
A GameCube launch window gem, this game has a still-unique sanity system that brilliantly fucks with the player, some great puzzling, a deep magic system, top voice acting and much more to recommend. All of which you'll hear in this episode.
Say hi on Twitter @winnerisyoupod, rate/review/sub on your platform of choice, and we'll see you for part 2 with Silent Hill 2 (both versions)
-
The final game before Spooky Season is a strong contender for game of the year, and the best 3D platformer in bloody ages (and we do love one of those on this pod) - it's the PS5-chugging Astro Bot.
As a little bonus, Alex relays all the mad games he played while abject and directionless as David was away on a cruise for two weeks.
Say hi @winnerisyoupod on X, awinnerisyoupod on Instagram, or @winnerisyou on BlueSky. We're also on YouTube if you want to watch us while we chat, you fackin' perv.

Sometimes you just have the play the ball as it lies. We made this bed to finish Summer of Resi 2024 with the remake of Resident Evil 3 so, by god, we had a lie in it.
Is it really as bad as people say (not really)? Is it a terrible remake of the original (pretty much)? We have some pretty strong feelings on this one, and there are many laughs to be had along the way.
Hey! Rate this podcast 5* and tell your mates! Hey! We're on BlueSky now because Elon is a weapons grade bellend! We're still on X though, and it's @winnerisyoupod on whichever of those you choose to use. Also on YouTube and TikTok if you can't enjoy resting your eyes for even a second, you fucking zoomer.

It's back to the originals again, boys and girls, as we tackle what is arguably still the jewel in the Resident Evil crown, 1998's Resident Evil 2.
We talk the story, the development, the RPD, the differences between this and the remake, all the differences in the A/B campaigns and much more!
Say hi @winnerisyoupod, email [email protected] and please tell your buddies about us - it'd really help x

Summer of Resi proper begins with what is still arguably the greatest remake of all time - the 2002 GameCube behemoth that is Resident Evil.
We dive deep into the game's development, the extended lore of the Trevor family, the differences between it and the 1996 original, and much more!

We kick off our third annual Summer of Resi by bringing in KDB for a special video game draft - this time picking only Resident Evil games! The list with the highest total Metacritic (or GameRankings archive if the game is too old) wins!
This one has some real shite in it towards the end. Resi history is a mixed bag as we all know!
Say hi @winnerisyoupod and rate/review/sub on your pod platform of choice -
We satiate our hunger to get started with Summer of Resi by diving deep into the wonderfully nostalgic indie survival horror gem, Crow Country.
Developed mostly by one man, this truly is a gloriously reverential homage to classic Resi that stands as a veritable masterpiece in its own right.

A few episodes ago we late fate decide six games we were going to play, all from the SNES and Mega Drive libraries available on Nintendo Switch Online. Those games were:
Battletoads in Battlemaniacs Claymates Comix Zone Kirby's Dream Land 3 Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master Target EarthIt's safe to say we didn't love most of these, but if you know one thing about this podcast, it's that things generally get more entertaining the angrier we get!

Summer may finally be picking up, but it's still pretty drafty in here! We welcome back the handsome KDB for the 2009 Video Game Draft!
As always, we pick 10 games each, all from 2009, and then tot up their metacritic scores to decide a winner.
Rate/review/subscribe. Say hi @winnerisyoupod. See you next time for Shovel Knight!

It's MAYtroidvania... in June! Sorry for the delay on this one, lads, but life stuff got in the way.
Speaking of life stuff, Alex's audio had to take a hit on this episode in order to remove the background screaming of his two-year-old daughter's unfortunatley-timed hissy fit (when she should have been asleep like a good girl). Spare a thought for Mrs. Alex who had to try and calm down the little mite!
Anyway, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a proper banger. One of the best metroidvania games in years, and arguably the best PoP game ever made - this is not a game, or pod, to be missed!
An update to the end of the pod - Racing Lagoon is, indeed, not for us. Sorry! Instead, join us next episode for the 2009 Video Game Draft, and Shovel Knight after that.
Like, subscribe, rate 5*, say hi @winnerisyoupod. Cheers x

It's a top 10, kinda top 20, list episode! Alex and David both have their own personal top 10s of Mega Drive and SNES games, mixing both platforms to create the ultimate list of 16-bit classics.
Cue a lot of Alex saying he didn't include certain games because he's shit at them, David adding most of Alex's to his backlog, and both of them not giving a tiny rat's arse if you disagree with their picks - it's all subjective, lads.
Rate/review on your pod platform, and tell us your favourite SNES and/or Mega Drive games over @winnerisyoupod.

We don't need to introduce this one. It's Halo. Halo is GOAT.

See you next episode for MAYtroidvania 2024!
