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.
