The Video Game Hall of Fame

Four video game writers from Sega Mania Magazine bring you a podcast that inducts the greatest games into the Hall of Fame based on your votes!

@MrTomFum Pretty much! The listener voting is what makes the pod unique and cool, but managing it is a proper ballache. Polls on here were broken for months, and nowhere else has native ones at all. Ah well, we still have fun!

Which of these wet and watery games goes into the Video Game Hall of Fame?

Your choices:
#Crysis
#MetalGearSolid 2
#Subnautica
#SuperMario Sunshine

@MrTomFum From experience, people don't like extra clicks. Plus, Google votes need you to have an extra account to log in to as well. It's easier to keep it native to here, but maybe I need to try the polls for longer than 3 days. Any longer used to break them but it's worth a try.

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

The polls across Twitter and BlueSky have been tallied and we have a winner for wet and watery games. Board the tanker and welcome the newest inductee into the Hall of Fame: Metal Gear Solid 2!

Thanks for voting (all 11 of you FFS). Pod in all the usual places.

@MrTomFum Yeah seems loads of people missed the vote. Probably the lowest-voted poll we've ever done 😥

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

Episode 76 of our podcast is now live! We're talking about wet and watery games ie games that have some body of water involved.

Poll incoming, get ready to vote your favourite into the HOF.

In all pod places now: https://t.co/RU5tceuIH0

Our hiatus is nearly over! We were busy putting the finishing touches to Sega Mania Magazine Issue 10, which is about to head off to the printers, so we will return to the airwaves tomorrow with a new pod episode.

Soz for the wait! Go check out the mag: https://t.co/4fMzm6578p

This man is underrated, undervalued and deserving of so much more attention. @K_D_B_ is one of the most talented men I’ve met. Those in @Community_Gears who have seen his passion will know already, but please give him your eyes. He’s a gem. The video is superb #gearsofwar #eday

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

The polls across Twitter and BlueSky are over. Steve's reign of terror continues with his 6th win on the spin, and he didn't even pick his own game this time!

The Shenmue nutters descended upon our hallowed turf again and pushed Yakuza to the win

@ReviewStiles While it's a woolly subject, and let's not get into the fact that AC was initially called 'Prince of Persia: Assassin' during dev, the point of our categories is to use em as a framing to pick great games for the HOF. The vote is on the best game, not the spiritualest successor.

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

Which of these spiritual successors goes in the Video Game Hall of Fame?

Your choices:
#AssassinsCreed

#Sega #N64 #Ubisoft #RetroGaming

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

@D1Smurphy @Xpect_Neris I'm still so upset about Gang of Dragon

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

@D1Smurphy So you're saying it's *not* a spiritual successor and we should disqualify @SegaForceMega's pick from the voting?

Considering he didn't even pick the game himself anyway, there's merit in that... 👿

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

@SegaForceMega Alright mate, give it a rest. You’ve already won.

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

@MrTomFum So we’ve got:
Assassin’s Creed - Prince of Persia
Cities Skylines - Sim City
Perfect Dark - Goldeneye
Yakuza - Shenmue

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

@MrTomFum I mean… that’s literally the definition of a spiritual successor 😂

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

@MrTomFum You don’t get how Perfect Dark is a spiritual successor to Goldeneye?!

[The Video Game Hall of Fame @VG_HOF]

As winners of our World Cup sweepstakes, Steve could induct anyone else's previous nominee into the Hall of Fame, and Rob could pick any previous nominee he wanted.

They made their choices, so our two newest HOF members are: Bubble Bobble and The Revenge of Shinobi!
