VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast – Ep.44: The best game where you’d swap places with the main character
Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 44: The best game where you’d swap places with the main character.
You’d think that swapping lives with any video game protagonist would be preferable to
continuing as a regular ol’ human in the real world. After all, we don’t have magic, or spaceships, or unfettered access to military grade ordinance. But most video game protagonists have to live through things that the vast majority of us would need years of therapy to process. Monster attacks. Wars. Alien invasions. Having to go on dates.
Still: plenty of game protagonists get to do nice things, like driving boats or growing turnips. So, who would our regular panellists swap places with if they could? In order to find out, you’ll have to listen to this podcast, which is pretty handy, because there are several ways of doing that which we have generously listed below. So get it dealt with and check out this week’s VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast, the only podcast called that.
The Electronic Wireless Show podcast S2 Ep 8: what the hap is heckening at Studio ZA/UM?
This week on the Electronic Wireless Show podcast we bite off more than we can chew by trying to make sense of the timeline of the Studio ZA/UM firings, lawsuits, and alleged fraud/toxicity, an ongoing and complicate mess that, as of this week, shows no signs of ungoing. We kind of end up on an “who tf knows?” but do manage to boil it down into a cowboy metaphor that helps us get a grip on things.
We talk about all that stuff for so long that we end up overrunning and don’t have time for A Good Day To Ware Hard, or Nate’s Tower Of Jocularity – although he promises a titanic one next week. We do get in our what games we’ve been playing this week, and it’s a varied selection.

VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast – Ep.43: The best game that takes ten or more hours to get good
Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 43 – The best game that takes ten or more hours to get good.
Let’s face it: games are too long these days. I’m over 160 hours into Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and I still haven’t finished the bloody thing. But, perhaps worse than games that outstay their welcome are games that don’t even get to the good part until you’ve put in a few shifts.
The post child for this phenomenon is, of course, Final Fantasy XIII, a game which infamously funnels you down a narrow corridor for 30 or so gruelling hours before depositing you into a beautiful open world area for the game’s penultimate act. Alex described it beautifully in this week’s podcast as a sewage pipe that leads to an ocean. But, surprising everyone, Final Fantasy XIII wasn’t actually his pick for this topic. To find that out, you’d best listen to it. It’s fortunate then that there are several ways to do so on this very web page. So strap in for a mercifully short 30 minutes of VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast, the only podcast called that.

The Electronic Wireless Show podcast S2 Ep 7: failure to launch
We had a couple of juicy news bits this week about disappoint – nay, heartbreaking – launch woes, so we thought we’d engage in every dev’s nightmare by talking about bad launches on The Electronic Wireless Show podcast. What are some of the bad launches we remember? What part do we play in this ecosystem? Are we just doomed to get bad PC ports for the next few years, or is this going to happen forever now.
Plus, a terrifying Tower Of Jocularity that challenges us to know when games came out (we do quite well, I think), the games we’ve been playing right now, and a trio of movie recommendations.
VG247’s The Best Games Ever Podcast – Ep.42: The best game you could complete as your real self
Welcome to VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast: Episode 42 – The best game you could complete as your real self.
Video games allow us to live our wildest power fantasies, such as “plumber”, or “murderer”. But what if you had to endure a game world not as some souped-up avatar, but just as yourself? You? Little, pathetic ol’ you, with your savings account, and your Nissan Qashqai? You wouldn’t last two minutes in the mushroom kingdom, mate.
But if our panellists had a choice, which game worlds would they have themselves parachuted into? Somewhere nice? Somewhere nasty? To find out, you’ll have to listen to the latest VG247’s Best Games Ever Podcast, the only podcast called that. Fortunately, we have several options for doing so here, so listen to it. Listen to it now. Do it now.
