Over the last week or so I've been catching up with the Bombcast Podcast Game Of The Year Episodes.
Bombcast game of the year is split into around 20 categories and these categories are discussed over the course of 5 consecutive days of podcasts.
Each podcast lasts for around 2 hours of solid discussion centred around 4 categories in each episode.

It is intense discussion with lots of lively debate as the 5 or so Bombcast crew members try to whittle down a massive list to 3 clear title contenders for each category.
The crew then rank those top 3 in order to give us a 1,2,3 for each of the categories.

The award categories range from Best Style, Hottest Mess, Best Soundtrack and ultimately the overall Game Of The Year award.
This series of podcasts have been a fascinating journey through 2015's wide and diverse range of video games and it has opened my eyes to video games that I may not have discovered without the pitches for each game made by the Bombcast Crew as they attempt to get their fave games into the running to win the particular category that's being discussed.
As I have made my way through this awesome video games journey of 2015 I've been adding games to my 'to play' list for 2016 as I attempt to play 'catch up'
