184 – Top 5 Video Games of 2024

It’s our final, epic Game of the Year ranking!

For the past 8 years, we’ve celebrated the awesome power that is video games with our GOTY deliberations. We’ve witnessed the gaming landscape change drastically over the years, but through thick and thin, we’ve delivered Top 5 lists of our favourite gaming experiences through rowdy and passionate debates. What makes PodCavern’s GOTY lists special? They’re crafted not by a gaming publication, YouTube/Twitch channel, or sponsored by a third party, but by everyday gamers who simply love video games and talking about them. We’ve gladly poured our blood, sweat, and pixels into this process year after year, playing games like it’s our job (it’s not!), just to create these lists, celebrate the medium, and frankly, have an excuse to nerd out about a topic that is near and dear to our hearts.

But now as this podcast is coming to an end, the day has come for us to rest, put down the controller, and make space for others to marathon video games and create their own lists. But not before one last victory lap! Join Tuong La and Gaming Legends Angus MacDonald, Ethan Howieson, and Mathew Whalley as they ‘press start’ together once more to rank Top 5 Video Games of 2024!

161 – Top 5 Video Games of 2023

January means it’s that time of year again for…video game discussions!

2023 was a weird year for video games. It has arguably the highest highs in gaming we have seen in a long time in terms of quality of output, but it also has arguably the lowest lows we have seen in the industry as a whole for the people who make those games. In recognizing that, we still want to celebrate the truly amazing games that came out this year and hope that 2024 turns that dark ship around for those who make the games we enjoy so much. So join Tuong La and self-proclaimed game GODS Angus MacDonald, Ethan Howieson, and Mathew Whalley as they step into our 7th GOTY podcast discussions and put together our Top 5 Video Games of 2023 list!
