“What is VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast?” you ask. I’m not sure I want to tell you. Why don’t you take a chance on it and find out for yourself? Each episode of the Best Games Ever Podcast is only about 30 minutes, so what have you got to lose? It’s bound to be better than an episode of Eastenders (that’s a terrible London-set soap opera for our US readers). Hopefully you can find room in your podcast-listening schedule for it. Wouldn’t it be great to be there at the start of something great? To be able to tell your friends and family that you were there when Jim, Tom, and co were unknowns and not the millionaires they become? Also, you’ll hopefully have some fun for half an hour. Check out VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast on Apple Podcasts and subscribe. Or listen on Spotify. It’s even on YouTube if that’s your thing. Please do let us know what you think of the show – and if this is your first time listening, do go back to listen to the previous episodes. We might be getting better as we go, so there’s a small chance Episode 1 isn’t as slick and professional as the latest show, but they aren’t topical so you can listen in any order you like. We’ve got some details on the show’s content below (if you want to get a refresher before heading to the comments to make a wonderful, considered post), so if you want to avoid spoilers, don’t scroll past this fan-made creation of what a Mario film starring a hybrid Chris Bratt/Chris Pratt would look like with a cameo from Wayne Rooney (Support friends of VG247, People Make Games, on Patreon).
Best Game Someone Not In The Know Would Think You’d Made Up
This is the topic of Episode six of VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast. Here’s a rundown of who picked what.
Tom – Mount Your Friends
A real classic of the Xbox Live Arcade era, back on the Xbox 360 days. This multiplayer party game asked you to master a tricky individual limb control scheme to climb up your friends and reach a higher point than they did. It’s a nailed-on all-timer, this, but did it win this very particular category?
Alex – Katamari Damacy
When you think of quirky video games, Katamari Damacy is likely right near the top of your brain. This joyful game is essentially built around one simple idea: roll up objects to make a huge ball. That's it really. And it’s brilliant. It helps that the game has one of the best soundtracks ever and that you can now play a version of it on pretty much every platform available.
Connor – Dong Dong Never Die
Right, Connor isn’t here to explain this to me, so just watch the video above. It’s a fighting game that is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Enough said.
Let us know what game you’d pick and if you think Jim must be stopped at all costs. If you like the podcast, please subscribe and leave a review saying how wonderful it is, and tell all your friends. Do a tweet about it, post on Facebook, print out copies of the podcast URL and leave them on park benches.
Come back in a week for another episode of VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast.
