To close out 2025, Craig, Jess and Andy each reveal their personal Top 5 games of the year. Across three very different tastes, they dig into the games that defined their year.

Whether you’re looking for recommendations or just want to hear three friends gush about the games they loved most, this episode is the perfect send‑off to 2025 (or 2024 in Andy's case).

There will be blood, there will be Goty!

It’s that time of the year again where we champion our favourite titles of the year. Smashing them against each other like Conkers that took years to develop

Theme Song by David Finlayson

We take a brief moment between studying hard for the next GotY showdown to pray at the altar of Gaming’s Golden Idol: Geoff Keighley!

Ben and Sanbone are easily pleased by the glamour and Punk would rather watch a 15 minute recap that scrapes off all the cheese. We cover each reveal, award and attempt at comedy. No Banjo-Kathree-ie but there is always next year.

As always, thanks for listening!

Theme Song by David Finlayson

It’s the most wonderful time of the year: GotY Season!!

Pure Dead Grumpy Ben has been quoted several times claiming that 2025 has been “The Best Year in Gaming™” and the man isn’t normally wrong about anything. So we’ve invited Modern Escapism’s own Stig and Gadget to nominate the games we most enjoyed throughout the year. This will lead us to punching each other silly, bloody and sullen in a few weeks time for the Pure Dead Xbox Game of the Year Show.

We also talk about the games we’ll be playing over the Holiday period in Tyg’s Christmas Game Section and share some of the biggest disappointments we experienced during the year in Videogames.

As always, thanks for listening!
