Ordered from Awesome to slightly less awesome

1. Giant Bombcast
This podcast is favourite by far the best gaming podcast available, I would even say that I listen to these guys religiously. Every episode makes me laugh at least once, and still manages to fit in plenty of information and opinion on Video Games. So if you have the slightest interest in video games, and are capable of laughing, chuckling or even just smiling, you should subscribe to the Giant Bombcast, after all like all podcasts, it’s free!

2. 4 Guys 1UP
Formally known as Listen UP and before that,1UP Yours. This podcast when compared to the Giant Bombcast, this podcast is much more serious and contains a lot more opinion and information, although you will not laugh, this podcast still manages to be engaging enough that it will hold your interest for the duration of the show.

3. CAGcast
The only real fault of this podcast, is that sometimes they will get some information wrong, but the thing that makes this podcast so good is the honesty of the speakers (especially the host CheapyD). CheapyD does not shy away from anything while reccording the podcast, he has talked about how much his website ( http://www.cheapassgamer.com) is worth, Cheapy has read out emails from his Dad concerning the exposure of the net worth of the website and he even talks about what his poop looks like in the toilet. But, most of the talk thankfully, is about video games. CheapyD, who resides in Japan does offer an interesting insight into Japan’s unique culture from a first hand perspective.

4. The Hotspot
Although this podcast still lives in the shadow of its former glory, Brendan Sinclair (the host) manages to produce a decent podcast. The main problem with ‘The Hotspot’ is that its cast is inconsistent. When the right cast is present, this can be funny as hell, but otherwise it can be as dull ditchwater.

5 The Instance
The only reason that this podcast is last on the list is because this game appeals to a particular audience. That audience is players of arguably, the most popular game of all time, World of Warcraft. Although I would not class this podcast as funny, it is very well produced with good sound effects used for segments and great intelligent conversation. To sum up how good this podcast is, I don’t even play WoW and I still listen to ”The Instance’. So if you are a WoW player, you should subscribe to this.

Hey,

Andy is the name, Australia represent!
Enough of the Patriotism.
This may seem weird but, I actually had a Giant Bomb Account before this. But, due to my crappy exam results, my parents banned me from using this site because I was spending too much time on it or something.
So they have been checking up my old account ( here) to make sure that I'm not posting or anything(Super-Werid huh?)
I own all 3 consoles and my gamertag/psn is: CulticCardinal if you want it.
The type of games that I play are Action RPG's (Fable 2, Mass Effect, ect), FPS's (Halo 3, Call Of Duty and Battlefield), some sports games ( FIFA and NBA Live) and then casual/platformer games ( Rock Band, Guitar Hero, LittleBigPlanet). And I give some JRPG's a chance if they are different enough ( e.g Valkyeria Chronicles)
I am in my second last year of High School, and I am aiming to get into university and get degree in Computer Science and eventually become a Video Game Programmer.
My Twitter is @AspiringAndy so yeah, follow me..
