Glitch Free Gaming is an independent weekly podcast about gaming and gaming culture from Scotland. Glitchfreegaming.com
We're wrapping up this year's GOTY discussions and deciding upon what was without a doubt undeniably the best game of the year (after arguing for a while.)
We didn't record a lot of podcasts this year but if you thought we were skipping GOTY then you clearly don't know us!
We're back after a rather lengthy break and are here to talk for far too long about The Last of Us 2, Ghost of Tsushima and both of the Next Gen console showcases!
We're forgoing regular numbers for a little bit as the podcast takes a little bit of a detour from specifically being about games! This week Mike and Kieran discuss their quarantine lifestyles, what they've been watching and yes, don't worry, what they've been playing too! (spoilers: they've mostly been playing Animal Crossing)
In our third day of deliberations we discuss the Best Story, Best Multiplayer and more!
In Day Two we argue about what company messed up worst this year, the best soundtracks and more!
As always we're a bit late with our GOTY content this year, but here's the first batch of categories!
As the year is hurtling to and end, the GFG crew are mopping up some of the last games they want to play before Game of the Year. Death Stranding, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Cat Quest 2, Doctor Who: Edge of Time. The crew are checking out all the new stuff this week!
This week Kieran and Mike are joined once again by Ben who tells us about the latest simulation game from Frontier, Planet Zoo, the latest entry in the Grid franchise and Headliner. Also, Mike and Kieran talk about annoying villagers in Untitled Goose Game, piloting giant mechs in Daemon x Machina, Northgard on Switch and mooooooore!
It has been a while! And as is usually the case, after such a big break we have a lot to talk about so this one is a long 'un!Kieran and Mike are joined by EIC of the site, Ben, to discuss the latest releases. Including (but not limited to) Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Blair Witch, Kill la Kill iF, No Man's Sky VR and much much more!
As they wait out the clock for the release of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Mike and Kieran talk Resident Evil 2, Board games and Gato Roboto!
This week Kieran and Mike are joined by Ben to talk about servicing cars in Car Mechanic Simulator, racing them in F1 2019, dancing in Cadence of Hyrule, returning to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 and 2 and much much more!
As is our annual tradition now, Mike and Kieran rattle off their favourite announcements and showings from E3 despite not actually attending. We also discuss some games that we actually did play though like Gal Metal, Trover Saves The Universe and a bunch more!
This week Mike and Kieran return for a much delayed episode to discuss their surprisingly good time with Days Gone and Onrush, the fun 2D GTA adventures of Shakedown Hawaii and the horseback GTA adventures of Red Dead Redemption 2. All that and a bunch of kickstarter board games!
Mike's away this week and so Paul and Kieran discuss Wrestlemania, books and a LOT of videogames!
Look, we're a little late again this week but don't worry, we made up for it by bringing Ben onto the podcast again! He brings newish releases like Space Engineers, Dawn of Man and Dirt 2.0, Kieran rants about how good Devil May Cry 5 and Baba is You are and Mike continues to sink deep into Horizon Chase Turbo.
This week Mike brings us updated impressions of Horizon Chase Turbo, a tale about how Florence made him cry on a train and first impressions of the Dead or Alive game. Kieran meanwhile finished the Resident Evil 2 Remake and picked up Trials Rising on Switch!
This week it's all new games all the time. Kingdom Hearts 3, Apex Legends, Tetris 99 we've got them ALL
We're back! We're all in the same room! We're arguing! We're...okay, we're a little late on this one. I hoped to get the videos up alongside the audio this year but it has been taking so long that instead we're going to drop the audio over the next few days! Join us as we discuss the best and worst of 2018. In this final episode we close things out by discussing what the Prettiest Game of 2018 is and going through our personal top 10 lists (we also briefly discuss an overall top 3 I guess.)

We had some audio issues this week, so Mike sounds a little bit like a robot! We promise this is just a temporary issue and he has not been replaced by an android yet. We've been gone for a while but now we're back and ready to talk about the many many games we played over our extended Christmas break. Honestly though? It's mostly Tetris Effect because oh my god it's so good. We'll have another regular podcast next week but the week after that we're aiming to put up the Game of the Year podcasts! So that'll be the first week of February. Hope you guys enjoy them, we had a lot of fun recording them this year!
So, this episode was actually recorded last week. I just forgot to upload it. So we mention things like "The Game Awards are going to happen soon" which of course were over a week ago at this point, woops!BUT you can still hear us talk about - Civilization VI Switch - Starlink - Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu and more!
It has been a little while, as always life got in the way! But we're back and it's a big one thanks to all the great games that came out! Join us as we discuss Kieran's failed attempts at catching a shiny Growlithe in Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, Paul's wild west crime sprees in Red Dead Redemption 2 and Mike's great solutions to important problems in Patently Stupid in Jackbox Party Pack 5. We also discuss The Shapeshifting Detective, Taiko no Tatsujin, Battlefield V, Civilization VI on Switch and more!
This week Mike and Kieran are joined by Editor in chief of GFG, Ben, to discuss Phantom Doctrine, Taiko Drum 'n Fun, Soulcalibur VI, Two Point Hospital and much much more!
It's that time of year again, Forza Day and so Kieran, Mike and Nathan unite to discuss this year's entry in the racing series.
This week we spend way too long talking about the new NES Classics release on Switch, how great Money Puzzle Exchanger is and of course Spider-man. We also round up all the news from last week's Nintendo Direct.
A bit late up again this week, sorry about that! But this week we don't have a lot of games to discuss except the brand new Spider-man game and the new Mega Man 11 demo! Both of which are fantastic!
So, we actually recorded this episode a little over a week ago at this point and I just completely forgot to upload it. But that just means you'll have another episode very soon! We talk about Mini Metro, Minit, Blazblue Cross Tag Battle, Subara City, Octopath Traveller and much much more!
Kieran and Paul are back again to talk about Lego Incredibles, Pixeljunk Monsters 2, Bad North, Madden 19 and more!
This week Kieran and Mike are joined by Ben again to talk about a bunch of board games they played together including Zogen, Space Base and Summoner's Isle. Of course, we also discuss videogames. This week we discuss This Is The Police 2, Overcooked 2 and in the wake of Evo we jump into Tekken 7, Blazblue Cross Tag Battle and more.
This week Kieran and Mike are joined by Ben who brings updates on Simulators of Buses, Bikes, Space and Jurassic Parks (not all in the same game unfortunately.) Kieran tells us about Octopath Traveller and how nice his new TV is. While Professional Esports Gamer Mike tries to explain why Fortnite is the most popular game on the planet right now. We also discuss Fantasy Flight's new "Unique Deck Game" Keyforge and just how difficult it is to play Pokken Tournament DX online.
This week it's just Kieran and Mike and they discuss Mike's out of the blue obsession with Fortnite and Kieran's long term obsession with Money Puzzle Exchanger.
Mike returns with news about board games from UKGE like Band Manager and Dice Fishing while Kieran dives into multiple new fighting games like Pocket Rumble, Blazblue Cross Tag and...Mario Tennis?
It's E3! Well, it was E3 and Kieran and Paul are here to tell you about all the games that showed up at the press conferences this year and give their opinions on them. They also talk about some games that you can play right now like God of War, Mario Tennis, Fire Emblem Warriors and Red Scare!
Our reporters out on the field Mike, Ben and Steven are back to tell you about their final day at UKGE 2018 and all the lovely board/card and role playing games they played there. Just a heads up, this podcast was recorded in a car driving back from the event so the audio is a little rough at spots.
Mike, Ben and Steven are back for day two of the UK Games Expo. Today the guys spent a lot of time in the Play-test area trying out new ideas. Mike and Ben spent some time with Tomas from Free League and their recently announced board game version of Crusader Kings.
Glitch Free Gaming are down in Birmingham at the 2018 UK Games Expo. After a slight hitch in trying to make it on time for the press event, Mike, Ben and Steven take in a few of the sights on Day 1. Mike buys a game from Oink before Ben and Mike speak with Sensible Object about their games that make use of Tech. Steven also hunts down an app that's being demoed. The Ultimate Games Master is touting itself to be the perfect RPG companion. Then the guys played a game of Lander. Lander was on display last year and while they don't have a booth here, Dan from their team brought the prototype along for us to have a shot. After a few more games in the afternoon, Ben and Steven dragged Mike into an RPG. Along with three other people, we became the crew of the Don't Stop Believing in a game of Traveller.
It's another massive podcast this week as Paul is out and we replace him with Ben and Nathan for the week. We talk about far far too many games including but not limited to Yakuza 0, Battletech, Burnout Revenge, Superbeat Xonic, Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia and Minit.
We took a little break after Episode 200 but we're back with a brand new episode for you! It has been a while since we did a regular episode now so we have far far too many games to talk about both of the video and board variety!
We did it, we reached Episode 200! We never thought we'd make it this far and so to celebrate we're doing something a little bit different. Join us as we play a game of Fiasco, a light role playing game. We take on the roles of three inhabitants of a dying space station, trying to escape as it collapses. One of us is a drunk, the other a hoarder and another a little bit paranoid. But as a strange black goo starts to spread through the station, maybe a little bit of paranoia is justifiable? Let us know if you like this episode and we'll look into doing it again!
This week Mike and Kieran discuss new releases like Kirby: Star Allies, Sea of Thieves, Northgard, Hardback and more!
Mike and Kieran gather again to talk about Mike's continued love of racing in Gravel and TT Isle of Man and Kieran's newfound love of golf in Everybody's Golf and Golf Story. Meanwhile a Nintendo Direct is happening and that can be a little distracting...
This week, Mike travels the Steep road to the Olympic games, Paul steals some VHS players out the back of a truck in Need for Speed Payback and Kieran loses repeatedly online in Dragonball Fighterz (but hey, at least he tried?) Not to mention we also played a bunch of Board Games, so listen to us talk about Secrets, Flee, Rising Sun and more!
Mike and Kieran join forces this week to invade Japan, only for a shocking betrayal to take place leaving one of them defeated...Also we played some Final Fantasy Dissidia, Rising Sun, Dinosaur Island and more!You can find more Glitch Free Gaming at http://glitchfreegaming.com/ Or on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGTqqLQ6kx_kSNt5pg6on3g
This week Mike and Kieran are joined by friend of the show Nathan as they talk about all the hottest new releases like Oh Sir! The Insult Simulator, Dandara, Celeste, Dragonball FighterZ, Monster Hunter World and...Monster Energy Supercross? We also actually played some board games too, so we talk about Friedman Friese's Fast Forward Fable series of games. Mainly Fortress but also a bit of Fear. Yes, that's a lot of Fs.
It's the final day of Game of the Year and the GFG crew are here to tell you what they think the best games of 2017 were.
Day 3 is upon us and in it your usual hosts discuss 2017's Best Story, Best Moment, Best Multiplayer and more!
