It&rsquo;s hard to believe it&rsquo;s been a whole week since I rewrote the last one of these, but the calendar does not lie. The VG247 The Best Games Ever Podcast returns, with episode 4. This week we&rsquo;re talking about the most British of things: pubs. And by &ldquo;talking&rdquo; I mean, arguing about the best game with a pub. Are the games good, and what makes for a good pub? That and more will be conveyed to you by the medium of talking people in the podcast below.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;What is VG247&rsquo;s Best Games Ever Podcast?&rdquo; you ask, presumably because you&rsquo;ve not read one of these pages before, as if you had you&rsquo;d know already. Anyway, if you still need to be told, here&rsquo;s the lowdown: Each week three of us must present our choice for the best game ever that fits the title of the show (this week it must be a game that we reckon is actually very good, has a pub in it &ndash; or a bar\/drinking establishment of some sort). Then our host\/judge, Jim Trinca, will use his biased views to declare a winner and leave two of us with the hump.<\/p>\n<p>Each episode of the Best Games Ever Podcast will be about 30 minutes long. Enough that you can eat a whole Share Size bag of chocs without having to pace yourself too much, but not so long that you then have to reach for the Doritos. Hopefully you can find room in your podcast-listening schedule for 30 minutes. If not, just cut one of the boring ones. Do you really need 15 true crime shows, one about the lives of dog walkers, and the rantings of one man who only dines at all-you-can-eat restaurants? Fair enough, I&rsquo;d listen to that final one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/vg247s-best-games-ever-podcast-ep4\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vg247.com\/vg247s-best-games-ever-podcast-ep4\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello again readers.
