It's the end of the year and that can only mean it's time once again for the GGD GOTY discussion! Join the crew as they go round-robin style through their personal top 5 games of the year in the final podcast of 2021. But it wouldn't be a Great Game Debate Podcast without a debate, so before the GOTY excitement, Jonah steps in to make his debate debut against Steven in the ultimate debate of skate - Jet Set Radio vs. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2! Thanks to everybody who has listened this year and here's to many more Great Game Debates in 2022 and beyond!

Who says video game movies are all bad? Not our panel! Special Guest Tokyo Slim drops in this week to bring the pain with his cinematic expertise in our video game movie debate. Will Mortal Kombat (1995) perform a fatality on Resident Evil (2002), or will the T-Virus prevail? Later in the pitch, the panelists are moved by indie tearjerker Before Your Eyes, before discussing mysteries in Japan with Lost Judgement and finally chilling out roaming the desert in Sable. Finally, Wes tests the crew’s knowledge of alternative video game names in a brain-bending new trivia game. Come get ready to rumble in episode 28 of The GGD Podcast!

We ratchet up the chaos on this episode of the show as Steven Beaumont returns to throw a wrench into Jonah's plans for an orderly debate alongside guest panelist Travis McGaughey of The Draft Punks. After a contentious group debate over Zelda items, the group cools off with pitches on Breath of The Wild-alike Immortals Fenyx Rising, open-world extreme sports-mashup Riders Republic, and indie action-puzzler Greak: Memories of Azur. Lastly the panelists flex their mental muscles with a new video game word association game before wrapping things up.

We flip the script on this episode of The GGD Podcast as guest panelist Preston Wilke of Level Zero squares off against Kaedhen to argue what game is a bigger atrocity: Knack or Anthem. Afterwards the crew pitch new indie card-based rogue-like Inscryption, beefy CRPG Pathfinder: Wrath of The Righteous and Furry filled Metroidvania F.I.S.T. Finally we wrap it up with a speed round of 20 questions. Will the panelists succeed in guessing the game? You'll have to listen to find out!

Are you ready for a wickedly good podcast? Game Informer's Kim Wallace joins the crew this time to share her insights on great anime and her recommendations for where to visit when traveling in Japan. Oh, and also to determine who's the true face of evil in our JRPG villains debate! Is Suikoden 2's Mad Prince, Luca Blight, the most monstrous or is FFVI's killer clown, Kefka Palazzo, the more unholy terror? Only one can come out on top! Afterwards the panel steps up to The Pitchers mound to discuss Death's Gambit: Afterlife, Ghost of Tsushima's Iki Island Expansion and Life is Strange: True Color's Wavelengths DLC. Finally, the challenge is on to determine who knows their RPG geography best as the show wraps up with our RPG realms trivia game. Cheers and enjoy the show!
