Good Enough Gaming Pod

Here we are back in the Vault as it were, and the boys have battened down the hatches and binged the latest video game turned TV show season of the Amazon Prime hit: Fallout. We might not be plotting the future (or lack there of) for the human race, but we certainly feel as though we have survived some trying experiences with the human race lately. So join us as we continue to survive and break do...

First it was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then it was the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and now it is the triumphant return of the Avengers in a side scrolling beat em up, chaos filled festival of punches, power-ups and strange food health regens that we have fully immersed ourselves in for the betterment of our lovely audience of Good Enough gamers. So let's talk about the game and the g...

The N64 is celebrating its 30th Anniversary, yeah you heard that right, the 30th! If you are like us, and it feels like just yesterday that you were shredding your palms and thumbs on the old three handed controller joystick, then please come shed a tear with us as we admit how old we are and reminisce about the good old days and the iconic N64. To celebrate this momentous occasion we thought it w...

Well the dust has settled and the whole gang has finally indulged in the finale of one of Netflix’s Premiere shows in Stranger Things. There is lots of argument online whether the ending was perfect, fraught with bad acting, rushed, full of plot holes or just overloaded with easter eggs and classic references to the time in which this is all supposed to be happening. How will the boys here at Good...

We here at Good Enough Gaming love a good co-op game (this is well documented), we also love a good party game that allows us to make more fun of Kyle and battle for supremacy within the team. There are more choices out there now than the classic and beloved Mario Party, and we wanted to make note of them for you to not only try, but go get some practice on before you invite your friends over. So...

A new-old competitor has entered the battle! In the chase for the feeling of the squad getting together during the simpler times of our adolescence and the convenience of COVID times, the FPS world continues on with new installments in the ever popular, but extremely cheater filled space of the storied franchises; Call of Duty and Battlefield. Now these games have both been out for awhile, the maj...

We got through the first round in last week's episode and now it is time to see how the final 8 games fare against each other for the 2025 Good Enough Game of the Year Awards. Things are going to heat up as we get closer to the finish line, and so we thought we would break up the tension with your favorite part of our awards episodes. Our Good Enough Awards have made a triumphant return. So join u...

The Game Awards have now come and gone, and many of you know by now that we here at GEG have an opinion or two at times and will need to discuss, debate and distract each other with what we believe is the game of the year. Do we agree with this year's nominees? Do we agree with the chosen winner? Only one way to find out, Good Enough Style. We have once again made a bracket where we will have...

Well gamers, it has been quite some time since we all got over the death of our horse in one of the pods most beloved playstation games in the Ghost of Tsushima, and well, I think we are ready to be hurt again. That's right, the next installation of the gripping story based, sophisticated combat system, and visually stunning masterpiece of a series has come out in the form of Ghost of Yotei. S...

The saying goes, “you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain”. This has now been made true for one of the most prestigious groups of medieval lore. Imagine being an apparition blessed by deities of old. Tasked with taking down none other than King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Now corrupted by some bad wine or something, Arthur has become unhinged and it's now...

Do you want to explore, loot, pillage and kill your way in an open world game with a bunch of crazy yet memorable cast of characters?! Well let the hilarious chaos ensue in the latest rendition of Borderlands, a beloved franchise for most of us here at GEG.

It's never been a better time to be a tamer, trainer, enthusiast or a fan of some beloved animated series of old. This fall we were graced by two new titles from revered franchises that are synonymous with the suffix “-mon”. That’s right we will be discussing the neverending battle for Mon supremacy between Pokemon and Digimon. Specifically the new titles; Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Digimon Stor...

We wanted to end off the season on a positive note this year! We want to celebrate the greats, and not just a particular game you have heard us talk about in ad nauseum over the seasons. No, we are talking about the developers that have taken the gaming world by storm in their respective decades releasing a consistent streak of bangers that we all hold dear. Of course we will likely rabbit trail a...

Summer is coming to an end, fall is on the horizon, and that means the end of “go touch grass” season as well (especially for us Canadians). Now luckily the fall sparks the beginning of what is generally the greatest volume of game releases over the coming months. So what games are coming exactly that we are most looking forward to playing in the fall and early winter you ask? Well we are going to...

Imagine you're in a world with constant looming danger, and you and some fellow townsfolk band together and try to combat the wilds, monsters, undead and more! Got your attention yet? Now imagine you and your party only have a limited time to liberate your fellow people, and right the course of history before it is too late! The stakes are high, the mechanics are strategic, the world is tiled,...

Believe it or not this week we are here to talk to you about performance enhancements, but not steroids or the emails that Kyle gets about well, you know… We are talking about the importance of mental health, healthy practices and exercises that can help us all to be better gamers, and productive members of society. So in order to better understand the importance and implementation of these practi...

Some games get it right the first try, some learn some lessons, take the feedback and crush it in the next rendition. These are just the type of games we are looking at today, whether it is the second, third, fourth or hell, even the fifth in a series of games. We want to talk about Sequels! We want to show some love to the follow-ups that were better than the original, you know like the second si...

Disney has continued to pump out Marvel content through movies and shows, and much like a fire sale at a local retailer, everyone has come to see what all the rage is only to see that some of the best items are selling like crazy and some of the items were not quite as they appeared in the photos. We are here today to give you our good enough scaling of where we think everything in Phase 5 sits on...

Okay Good Enoughers, you are preparing for a long flight or a long drive where you are the passenger princess, there is going to be many hours to kill in your travels, what game(s) are you bringing along with you? We know this could be a tough choice, but we love to ask the hard hitting questions here. So buckle up, pay attention as the stewardess gets through the safety preamble and sneak a tasty...

Like the title of Kyle’s sex tape, we are here for a Chuggy and Brutal episode as we get into a game that dawns an impressive soundtrack, use of weaponry, design and just elements of visceral madness. Thats right everyone we are talking about Doom: Dark Ages today! The newest installment in the storied franchise boasts some new facets on top of the classic form. Several of the guys have dabbled in...

As kids many of us were told that playing games was a waste of our time, that it would rot our brains, that it would awaken something inside of us that would cause us to rebel, or that one day we might have to actually fight a dragon and not be even remotely prepared. WHO IS LAUGHING NOW MOM! Gaming has become incredibly mainstream and now has all kinds of avenues for potential jobs, competitive p...

Well folks, the resident Elden Lords are back in the thick of it and boy are we Glad-ius to be talking about the newest installment into the souls franchise; Elden Ring: Nightreign. Starkly different from its previous named title, this game has you going solo or as a trio in a face-paced, rogue-like, level and skill building frenzy that caps off with hellacious boss fights on each expedition. Ever...

Everyone who has listened to us for a long time knows that we love the indie game scene and developers (especially Jordan). But today we are graced to be interviewing a man that kind of puts us to shame. He doesn't just share the same enthusiasm, but is a glowing example of someone in support and providing information for great indie games, and actively working in the industry. Welcome to the...

There are tons of things in games that make the experience that much more visceral and surreal, but today we focus on one such aspect that our dear co-host Trevor helps us celebrate on this show, and that is Soundtracks in games! We are talking about those games that you could listen to over and over and over again to the music and never tire of it. Soundtracks that fit the game style perfectly, t...
