• Let's Pokemon GO! The Deadly Pokemon AR Phenomenon! Plus Pokemon Yellow!
    Nov 10 2024

    We're back to Pokemon again as we look at a selection of games from the famous Nintendo franchise!

    Is Pokemon Yellow just a shameless cash in? Does it differ from Red and Blue? Is Pokemon Go worse than having a job? Why did people walk into a lake en-masse?

    Find out the answers to all these questions and more. Plus we have Milking It, and some updates about what is next for the Podcast!

    Please bare in mind we recorded this episode over a month ago, so some of the news is a little bit out of date...

  • Halloween Hangover: The Greatest Halloween Horror of All... The Remake!
    Nov 1 2024

    oOOOOoooOOoo! It's our second Halloween and that means another spooky-scary-special!

    Yes, we're fashionably late this year thanks to some technical issues when putting the episode together, but hopefully you're all still in the mood for a creepy video game or two!

    No games from the list this time, just discussions about horrifying Remakes, overpriced beat-em-ups, games that really need not exist and a couple of gems that are now more easily accessible than ever!

    Oh and Jay plays and reviews The Quiet Place game... a stealth based horror... it doesn't take a mad scientist to work out how that went!

    Enjoy!

  • DLC - Best of the Worst
    Oct 26 2024

    Because we know you love a good rant, this episode we're looking at the worst games we've ever paid cold, hard cash for.

    The beeping machine went into overdrive on this one, with a whopping 44 beeps! However if you want to hear it in it's (almost) completely uncensored form, you can head to www.patreon.com/bucketlistgamers and subscribe to any tier Bucket Kicker and above!

    We did have to censor one bit right at the end, but if you knew what was said... you'd understand why!

    Warning for headphone users too, there is some game audio spliced in and it's quite frankly horrific.

    Enjoy!

    **This was initially a Patreon Timed Exclusive, but now it's available here for your listening pleasure!**

    If you want to hear DLC episodes as soon as they come out, head over to our Patreon and sign up now!

  • Five in One! We Look at FIFA, Fall Guys, Football Manager, Hello Neighbour & Just Dance!
    Oct 22 2024

    That's right, this bumper episode sees us look at FIVE games! Why? Because we didn't think we had much to say about them.

    As it transpires, we did... and that's why this episode is almost an hour and a half long! BUT even though the games might be fodder, the episode isn't!

    Whether it's churning out the same thing every year, making something more complicated than it needed to be, failing to live up to potential, having no potential in the first place or ruining people's lives through the medium of song... we discuss the lot!

    Enjoy!

    Psst! We also have some new merch dropping very soon that is tied to this episode, so be sure to check out our Merch link on the website for more info!

  • We Gotta Believe... PaRappa the Rapper is a Fever Dream!
    Sep 29 2024

    On this episode of the Bucket List Gamers we're once again addressing childhood trauma, as we discuss 1996's PS1 'classic' PaRappa the Rapper.

    Touted as the first true rhythm game, PaRappa the Rapper sees a paper thin dog rap his way through five gruelling levels in order to impress a sentient Sunflower called Sunny Funny.

    Believe us when we tell you this BARELY scrapes the surface of just how weird this game truly is... but is it any good?

    We also talk about the latest big announcement from Sony, and whether the Quiddich game is any good (spoilers... it isn't.)

    Enjoy!

  • Welcome to the House of Hades, and Thanks for Dying!
    Sep 23 2024

    Damn you to Hades!

    Prior to September of 2020 that would have been a worrying phrase to hear, but now I don't think we'd mind it!

    Yes, this episode we are talking about SuperGiant Games Hades (and also Hades 2 quite a lot, actually!)

    Described on Steam as 'a god-like rogue-like dungeon crawler' (so that settles the lite/like debate) players take on the role of Zagreus, son of the titular Hades, a teenager hell-bent on escaping the underworld and making it to the surface to talk to his mother.

    Does it deserve a spot on the pantheon of the gods, or is the murky underworld actually where it deserves to reside?

    Take a listen and find out! Plus we talk briefly about the Concord disaster, and how it is possible for a game to fail so spectacularly.

    Enjoy!

  • Heroes in a Half Shell! We Play Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... Shredder's Revenge!
    Sep 13 2024

    Cowabunga Dudes!

    This episode we've grabbed our Bo Staffs, Sai's and Nunchakus, donned our favourite colour masks and dived head-first into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; Shredder's Revenge!

    Is Shredder's Revenge the perfect homage to the TMNT arcade games of old, or is it a shameless, cheap cash-in looking to rake in money based purely on nostalgia? You'll have to listen to find out.

    Plus we talk a little about Gamescom, and you can find out which game Eddie likens to a Creme Egg wrapped in damp tissue paper...

    Who's for a slice of Pizza?!

    Enjoy!

  • How to Bottle Fame, Brew Glory and Even Put a Stopper in Death... in Hogwarts Legacy!
    Aug 29 2024

    That's right, in this episode we'll teach you how to do... precisely none of those things!

    We will discuss the 2023 smash hit Hogwarts Legacy though, as well as more 'Milking It', and review of a film we haven't even seen (and have no intention of doing so.)

    Plus a few of the usual tangents and technical difficulties thrown in for good measure... it wouldn't be the Bucket List Gamers podcast without them!
