Long
But great so much fun to listen to
Great
One of the best video game podcasts on iTunes. They give you the news and releases while adding jokes to keep the listener entertained.
...D-D-D-DIAMONDS!!!!
Like a well-cut diamond The Video Games Show shines from all angles. It is well-hosted, well-produced and many times funny as all hell. Everything you would want covered, is covered. Technical, theory, industry, media, it's all here.
Hosts Rich Bergin and Nick Kraftor have character and charisma that compliment each other splendidly. As a team they are terrific. They have a love and respect of video gaming that's authentic and you can tell. What's also great is that when they speak about something, ie a video game review, they will actually tell you why they liked it or didn't like it. No one listener has to agree but it's great to hear an actual thought process and relevant criticism of this industry and it's products by two normal gents who have gamed for over twenty years and dropped as much money over that time as the next kid has. Makes a listener feel like they speak for you and with you -not at you.
