Episode 450: Game of the Year Awards 2016Episode 450: Game of the Year Awards 2016
It’s the landmark 450th episode of Gaming Podcast — and the end of a very disappointing year in videogames (among other things) for 2016. These aren’t your usual awards though – Jonah gives the “Best PS2 Game” award to The Last Guardian, for instance. It’s an extra long podcast at almost 2 hours, so enjoy all of the banter.
There’s also news, of course, which includes:
- Torment: Tides of Numenera and Yooka-Laylee get release dates
- New Age of Empires 2 expansion out next week
- Final Fantasy‘s 30th anniversary plans to be revealed soon
Let us know your favorite games of 2016!

Despite being recorded on April Fool’s Day, the podcast has no pranks, just a long political discussion and has Paul demanding no one say anything about BioShock Infinite. Speaking of that game, the crew announces the winner of the BioShock Infinite contest. This week has a Gaming History about the development of XCOM: UFO Defense.
This week’s news includes:
- Cruel April Fool’s Joke posts fake Half-Life 2: Episode Three Steam page (see image below)
- Path of Exile to feature yearly major expansions
- Gamers want Assassin’s Creed every year, states UbiSoft Montreal
- Former Diablo III director states the auction houses were a mistake
- EA prez Gibeau: “DRM is a failed dead-end strategy”
There is a ton of feedback, plus a new contest to win a copy of Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm. The rule is the same as BioShock Infinite: listen to the podcast and comment on what is discussed.

The trio argue over boss battles, and this week’s Gaming Flashback is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Jordan also finally has a great Vita game to fawn over, Tearaway.
