From the electronic noises of Super Mario Bros to the orchestral soundtracks of games like Journey and Hollow Knight, video game music is no longer just a backing track.   

Ouuuh, que c'est excitant. En 2026, tout ça devient sérieux, moi je vous le dis. En plus de l'enrichissement de mon site NWPL.ING, j'ai décidé de mener une refonte du format mixtape. Le concept reste le même : braquer le projecteur sur le meilleur de la VGM des 30 derniers jours. Sauf que maintenant… il parle !NOWPLAYING devient un un "vrai" podcast, dans lequel je prends la parole pour vous parler des morceaux que je choisis. Ne m'en tenez pas trop rigueur pour cet épisode 0. Je suis encore très couillon, pas hyper à l'aise, et je suis sûr que je peux faire plein de choses pour améliorer la captation audio. Mais, j'en suis content moi, de cette première.C'est un bon exercice pour moi, à plus d'un titre. D'abord parce que je souhaite incarner un peu plus mon "média", et aussi parce que ça me donne une excuse d'aller me renseigner un peu plus sur les morceaux que je choisis de vous passer. Enfin, c'est une bouffée d'air frais qui va me sortir du cadre un peu trop strict que je m'étais imposé dans la sélection des tracks. Bref, tout le monde y gagne… je crois !J'espère que cette nouvelle formule vous plaira. Prenez quelques secondes pour me dire ce que vous en avez pensé en commentaires !

TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS!Good2Game Radio fires up the crystal ball and absolutely abuses it in the third annual 2026 Games Draft, where confidence is high, logic is optional, and release dates are treated like urban legends. The crew drafts five “can't-miss” games while arguing over whether GTA 6 is real or just a shared hallucination. There's smack talk, Twitch delays, Excel spreadsheets doing God's work, and the ever-terrifying threat of the “turkey award” for the lowest Metacritic score. Former champs, newcomers, chat lurkers, and chaos agents all take swings—some safe, some spicy, some straight-up unhinged. Will Resident Evil dominate? Is Wolverine a heartbreaker? Can GTA 6 destroy another season before it even launches? Only time—and Metacritic—will tell. Until then, alliances are broken, lists are locked, and everyone swears this year they've got it figured out. Support the show https://discord.gg/3yfGt9gahB

Few video game adaptations truly understand the source material — Silent Hill (2006) is one of the rare exceptions.This week on ClassHorrorCast, we descend into the fog to explore why Christophe Gans' Silent Hill has not only endured, but evolved into the gold standard for video game horror adaptations.We break down the film's deep lore, hidden meanings, and symbolic imagery, unpacking how the movie translates the unsettling psychology and atmosphere of the games to the big screen.We dig into the film's pre-production, the writing process, and the major creative choices that reshaped the games' narrative for cinema including what was changed, what was preserved, and why those decisions ultimately worked.From its commitment to practical effects and creature design to its oppressive soundscape and world-building, we examine how Silent Hill achieved an authenticity most adaptations never attempt. Finally, we discuss why the film has aged so well, how its reputation has grown over time, and why it continues to be cited as the strongest argument for the greatest video game adaptation of all time.Turn up the volume. The siren is calling.For more content - CLICK HEREBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/class-horror-cast--4295531/support.

Well, that's a wrap. Season 7 is over, and we're moving into Season 8 nextg week. But as for now, let's talk about video games.

As another year draws to a close, we're taking a look back at the past twelve months and what it's meant for the world of video games. It's been a stellar year for indie games, with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 raking in heaps of plaudits (and a fair few award nominations) for its take on the JRPG genre — while smaller titles like Wanderstop and Blue Prince have proved that you can do an awful lot without the massive budgets that AAA studios command.The Standard's Commissioning Editor and Culture Writer Vicky Jessop is here to discuss the highlights of the year, plus what to look forward to in 2026.

Video games made their way into American homes as early as the 1970s. But it wasn't until the console wars in the 1990s that in-home video-game consoles became nearly ubiquitous. Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft were all pumping out quality machines that played increasingly awe-inspiring games, and that trend has continued ever since. As Nintendo prepares to kick off the next generation of console releases with the imminent arrival of the Switch 2, the Great Pop Culture Debate wanted to look back at the slickest systems from the past and name the Best Video-Game Console. Systems debated include: Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Game Boy, NES (Nintendo Entertainment System), Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Microsoft Xbox 360, Sega Genesis, Sony PlayStation 3. Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Andrea Guerrero, David Silbert, and Jim Czadzeck as they discuss 16 of the most legendary video-game systems of all time.
