Every episode we'll set a category and each nominate a game within it for induction, but the final vote goes to YOU, the listener! Follow us on Twitter @VG_HOF to cast your votes.

Is it too late to say happy new year? It is isn't it. Well, hope you had a good one anyway, and to celebrate the beginning of 2025 we're doing another de facto GOTY pod and inducting a 2024 game into the Hall of Fame. Steve doesn't really play new games that aren't Shenmue homebrew mods, so we bring in a special guest to nominate for him. We also h…

Putting the 'ho' in your ho ho, we are here for another Christmas special episode to introduce the nominees for the last game going into the Video Game Hall of Fame Class of 2024 - it's games featuring snow. Loads of games to choose form on this one, but that's not all. We also have a special Xmas quiz you can play along to at home. Rob's early pod…

Considering Goldeneye 007 is already in, and one of them Lord of the Rings PS2 games has already been nominated this year, we had slim pickings for this one! We needed movie tie-in games only - no movie licence games! See if you can guess the one Rob was denied by his not-so-subtle hints later in the pod. Go vote for the game you want in the Hall o…

Four bitter beings join together to force in games you peasants decided weren't good enough for our Hall of Fame. Well, bollocks to you, we're sticking four of them in anyway! We also do some thoroughly exciting admin by deciding on the next run of episode themes. You'll love it! You'll also love the email we got from a returning amphibian. Go to @…

We missed the Halloween deadline because Alex went on holiday and forgot to transfer his audio to his MacBook, but we're belatedly here with an episode that isn't really spooky anyway. Still, Halloween is all about pumpkins, so that's what all our nominees had to feature. If you hear a game nominated that you like, go vote for it to be in the Hall …

Goooooooal! Touchdown! Boomshakalaka! Deuce! Oh, he's snookered him! That's icing! Cricket! Yeah, it's an episode where we nominate four sports games for the Hall of Fame. Everyone's loved at least one sports game in their life, even if it's just Wii Sports like an old granny. Go vote for the sports game you want inducted over @VG_HOF, and send us …

This was such a supreme bastard banger of a year, you'll be fuming at us for what we actually went with. Honestly still in shock at what Simon went for. Make sure you head over to @VG_HOF on X and vote in the poll for the 2001 game you want in the Hall of Fame - the poll should be up right... NOW! Please rate/review the pod on your platform of choi…

...that aren't Halo: CE or Half-Life 2, because they're already in the HOF. Or Hades because Alex is still upset that one didn't get in. Same goes for House of the Dead. Aside from that, enjoy a hell of a lot of hip and happening games beginning with H. That letter was randomly selected back in episode 30, so blame the algorithm or whatever. Once y…

"Moo." "Baa." "Vote Reform." That's right, they're all noises that animals make, and that's handy because this episode sees us nominating games where you play as an animal. Spoilers: Nobody picks a Sonic game. Prepare for a wild ride! Go vote and tell us your animal game over @VG_HOF, and please send us an email about absolutely any old shit to vid…

By jove, here we ruddy well go, pip pip, innit blud, you filthy slag. That's right, this episode we're nominating games specifically developed or published in good ol' Blighty. This has to be one of the most eclectic nominee groups you'll ever hear out of us, so drink it in like you're throwing limbs in 'Spoons, ya fackin' melt. Go to @VG_HOF to vo…

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 beca…

Disclaimer: this podcast's audio is randomly generated. If you die whilst listening to it, it will be completely different when you listen again. That's right! It's roguelikes! Games that are like Rogue, but not Rogue. Rob only likes one roguelike. Alex likes many roguelikes. Steve likes the one roguelike you know he likes. Simon is also here. Vote…

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 thi…

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 nex…

As we approach the Big 3-0 we go 3D with that most quintessential of all late-'90s gaming genres: 3D platformers! There's also an email that has us deciding on which pod member's entire catalogue of inducted games we'd most like to delete. You can email us too! videogamehof@gmail.com Vote for the game you want to be inducted into the Hall of Fame o…

It's not GOTY season anymore... except here! This episode, our nominees all come from the pool of games that have won a Game of the Year award at an event or ceremony. They're all listed here if you want to play along: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Game_of_the_Year_awards Vote for the game you want in the Hall of Fame over @VG_HOF - the p…

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 franch…

That's right, we're fighting for the underdog this episode, as we're all nominating only games that scored 79 and under on Metacritic. 7/10s, or 'hidden gems', have become a huge part of games media in recent years, and we're getting in on the act to stick one of them in the Hall of Fame. We've got loads of honourable mentions and a discussion on w…

We're selling our souls for those sweet license deals this episode, as we nominate four games that license IPs from outside the gaming sphere (not sports, though). Despite having something of a bad rap, there are a huge number of great licensed games, and we cover as many as we can here. Go vote for the one you want in the Hall of Fame over @VG_HOF…

Year two of the Video Game Hall of Fame commences with a de facto game of the year episode! We're nominating games released in 2023 for this one, and we had a hell of a lineup to pick from, amirite?! Once you've heard the pod and our nominees, head on over to @VG_HOF on Twitter and vote for the one you want to be inducted to the Hall of Fame as the…

Merry Christmas one and all! This year, and probably every year, we offered you the gift of nominating the final games in the class of 2023 for the Hall of Fame. You came through with some... games. There were some suggestions that were downright terrible games, and some we unfortunately have never played, but in amongst all that came four crackers…

That's right, we're nominating RPGs from W, not J! The lads have some big hitters for you this episode, so you'll likely have a tough choice on your hands. To make that choice, head over to @VG_HOF on Twitter and vote for the WRPG you want to go in the Hall of Fame. Please rate/review and share this pod with your pals if you like it, send emails to…

We gave you the options, you once again voted against turnips. So, here we are with four game nominations that are all (according to GameRankings) superior sequels to their original predecessor. It's just second games in a series here, too, with minor allowances made for things that are direct sequels to specific entries (like Mario Galaxy 2 or Fin…

We're back to force games into the Hall of Fame that you lot didn't vote for! To wrap up episodes 11-19, each host picks a game that lost in a previous poll to automatically be inducted into the HoF. Did your favourite game previously miss out? Fear not, it has one final chance to be in the class of 2023! We also lay out all the categories we'll be…

Spooky season is here, so here's a spooky episode. Well, it's the same as all the other episodes really, but we're nominating horror games for you to vote into the Hall of Fame. So, yeah... boo! There's also a story about Derren Brown and another incredible poem from You-Know-Who. Honestly, his content is better than ours so you might as well just …

We embrace spooky season in typically morbid fashion, as we're nominating games from dead or dying genres in this episode. If you've got a game you love and think, "they don't make these anymore," then you know what we mean! Don't forget to rate/review on your pod platform of choice, tell your mates to check us out, say hi over @VG_HOF, and email u…

It's a bit of a wildcard category this episode, as our nominated games could be basically anything, provided we initially disliked (or even hated) them, before completely changing our opinion and loving them. We've all been there, right? Yes, we also have more poems - all of outstanding quality. Go vote in the polls for the game you want inducted i…

This episode, the lads are nominating games in the Management Sim category. Yes, Rob wanted to include the entire Football Manager series, but he's not allowed. We also have some more ridiculous emails, including some very NSFW poetry, video game baddies, and our recommendations for other podcasts. Go and vote for the management game you want in th…

It's time to P. A. R. T. Why? Because of a democratic process of voting for the theme for each episode of the podcast. Why else? Steve's choice for category was, as you've hopefully guessed from reading the title of the episode, party games. So stick on your party hat, fill up your party bag, knock off with some drunken co-worker in the toilets and…

As the Hall of Fame gang recover from various bouts of lurgy, we return slightly hoarse but no less enthused to talk about Alex's chosen category: hack and/or slash games. As always, each of the four pod members will pick their favourite game from the category, and it's up to you to head over to @VG_HOF on (ugh) X and cast your vote for the game yo…

We're being right wrong'uns on this episode! In a break from the standard sort of category we usually nominate games from, we're getting stuck into some controversies and seeing which games straddle the line between infamy and brilliance the best. Believe us when we tell you that controversy does not diminish the standard of the games nominated in …

It's the tactical choice to listen to this podcast. In real time! No need to strategise, just press play! That's right, this episode we're each nominating a strategy game for the Video Game Hall of Fame. Once you've heard our nominations, head over to @VG_HOF on Twitter and vote in the poll for your favourite, and the winner will be inducted into t…

We are the people's Video Game Hall of Fame, but that doesn't mean the people are right 100% of the time. Let's be honest, we nominated waaaaaaay too many good games to only have one go in the Hall of Fame from each category. Fear not, though, because we're here to right those wrongs by inducting one more game each from the first nine categories of…

It's time to channel the spirit of independence! This episode, we present to you our four nominations from the indie games sphere. As always, you will decide which nominee gets inducted into the Hall of Fame! There are so many amazing indie games to choose from, spanning every and all genres, so we all found it incredibly tough to pick just one eac…

Apparently this episode's genre is controversial. Apparently one member of the pod 'hates' rhythm games. But you're not like that are you, dear listener? You all like fun times with music and occasionally hitting or plucking things, right? Good, great, wonderful. We have another lineup of four games to introduce to you with our very bestest (or, in…

You best put seatbelts on your ears, folks, because we're about to take them for a ride! That's right, this episode we're all nominating our favourite (or tactically nominating the most likely poll-winner) driving games! As always, we've got an eclectic mix of games from a wide variety of eras; from the early '90s to the late '00s; from arcades to …

We're going old skool again, as your nominees for the Video Game Hall of Fame this time hail from a bygone era of blocky chiptune greatness - the 8-bit generation! Having covered pre-3rd Gen games previously, we're sticking mainly to home consoles and handhelds this time around, so fans of NES, Master System and Game Boy are in for a treat! We also…

Konnichiwa and arigato to you, esteemed listener, for joining in the next instalment of the Video Game Hall of Fame!

Oh we 'bout to go oooooooold skool! That's right, this episode our Video Game Hall of Fame nominees are all games that released before the fabled 3rd generation of video gaming. There'll be no Nintendo or Sega here, their consoles don't exist yet! Sit back, relax, and get ready to drift back in time to a far, far simpler era of pellet-chewing, ping…

The dust has settled on our 2D platformer episode, and we have inducted our first game into the Hall of Fame. Following on from that, it's time to double the number of inductees as we present to you our nominations for first-person shooters.

Each member of the crew will nominate a 2D platformer, explain why they think it deserves to be in the hall of fame, why everyone else's pick is wrong (mainly just Rob does that) and then we leave the …

Welcome, esteemed listener, to The Video Game Hall of Fame!
