Will it be a street fighter, maybe a resident […]
Next week we’re presenting you with our top 25 video game characters not created by Sega or Nintendo – but this week, enjoy this bonus podcast where we look at some of the unlucky characters who did not make our top 25!

Laugh at us once more as we come up with a “definitive” console Top 25 using strange algorithms based on whoever’s hosting the episode. This week it’s Dylan’s turn to host the N64 top 25 as he’s barely played 20 N64 games (better leave it to the experts eh?) And don’t worry, you’re not going

This week’s guest may be the only person we’ve ever interviewed who’s worked for Atari, Nintendo and SEGA – the magic three! Faran Thomason kindly gave us some of his time a while ago for a text interview but we simply had to chat to him to get more of those stories out. Especially a
