Still inspired by last week’s topic, we thought we’d flip it on its head an ask perhaps an even more pertinent question in an age of decade-long marketing campaigns: what’s the best rubbish game that had a great reveal trailer ?
Baffled by the concept of how a rubbish game can be “best”? Listen, don’t worry about it. Games media is full of this contradictory rubbish. We often say things like, for example, “a good 7/10 game is better than a bad 9/10 game”. And it makes a perverse sort of sense. Except when it doesn’t.
Speaking of perverse, this week we’re lucky enough to welcome Eurogamer’s Ian Higton onto our humble little show. He’s only the second person from Eurogamer we’ve managed to snag, because those guys are usually too busy coming up with cheap puns, but his showdown with Tom in his debut episode is one for the ages. We’re also joined by Connor, who seemed determined to sabotage himself this week but blame it on Jim (me). Typical.
To find out why Connor lost, and who won out of Tom Orry and Ian Higton, you’ll just have to watch or listen to this week’s exciting installment of The Best Games Ever podcast via one of the handy methods below. And no, we don’t know why Jim is once again wearing sunglasses and a bandana. Apart from the fact that he’s a riddy.
