Episode 123: SPOOKTOBERFEST '25 - Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly

Or Project Zero II if you prefer names that are worse. That's right, it's Halloween and it's time to send off this year's Spooktoberfest with Tecmo's PS2 horror classic.

Get out your camera obscuras, hold your twin sister's hand and keep your calendar free for a bloody ritual or two (in case the first one fails) as we dive deep into the game's setting, story, gameplay, atmosphere, Wii remake and much more.

Episode 122: SPOOKTOBERFEST '25 - Silent Hill f

Pack up your pagoda, stuff your satchel full of Ramune and whatever higashi is, as we begin spooky season for 2025 with Konami's newest entry into the Silent Hill franchise. It's part one of playing as Japanese schoolgirls, as we hit up Ebisugaoka for Silent Hill f.

We talk the non-Silent Hill setting, the combar, puzzles, story, endings, and much more. Massive spoilers, obviously.

Episode 120: Summer of Resi ‘25 pt. 1 - Resident Evil CODE: Veronica

YES! It's finally that time of year! Bust out your tank controls and your zombified dads, fill 'em full of SMG bulllets and have a little cry - it's time to play Resident Evil CODE: Veronica!

We chat about the game's development, the gameplay, the visuals, the weapons, the characters, the bosses, and then we stumble through the story after realising we'd both somehow ignored important information about the entire premise of the game. Morons.

This is a great game and a fun pod, so let us know if you enjoyed it over @winnerisyoupod on Twitter (boo) or BlueSky (yay?). Check out the video version by searching for us on YouTube.

Episode 119: The Top 25 Games of the Century

Hey, it's 2025 innit! That means we're a quarter of the way through the 21st Century. What that also means is we've had a cavalcade of cool games in the last 25 years.

We're here to celebrate that with 25 games for 25 years - 2000 to 2025 (and yes, we know we're technically in the 26th year of the century but shut up). Well, more than 25, actually, as David and Alex both have their own individual Top 25 lists to discuss.

Come tell us your favourite game of the century over @winnerisyoupod on either Twitter or BlueSky.

Check out the A Winner Is You Podcast channel on YouTube for the video version of this episode, or go on TikTok to see clips if you can't pay attention for more than 30 seconds. WOW, A BLUE CAR!

It's finally here, lads. We go deep into covering all the wonderful Dishonored games, right from the 2012 original through all the DLC and onto Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider.

It's safe to say we adore these games. The main two are both 10/10s. We'll fight anyone who says otherwise.

Once again we bring in KDB to join us picking 10 video games each, this time from the year 2010, and trying to get the highest total Metacritic score.

Will Binary Domain hang in the top 10 by the end? Can anything usurp Dead Space? Why is Limbo so low? All this and more to be revealed in a stonker of an episode for Xbox fans.

Episode 108: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

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.

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.

Episode 104: SPOOKTOBERFEST '24 - Silent Hill 2

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.
