This week marks the 25th anniversary of the PlayStation 2's European launch. To celebrate, we played every (except that really long JRPG for obvious reasons) launch game and we're going to rank them in a tier list with D being absolute stinkers, and S being the cream of the crop.

The games are:

Aqua Aqua, Dynasty Warriors 2, Fantavision, FIFA 2001, Gradius III and IV, International Superstar Soccer, NHL 2001, Ready 2 Rumble Boxing: Round 2, Ridge Racer V, Silent Scope, Smuggler's Run, SSX, Tekken Tag Tournament, TimeSplitters, and Wild Wild Racing.

Something for everyone, you surely agree! Are any of them good, though? We all know Wild Wil Racing is the drizzling shits, but can any game grab the sacred S tier?

Come say hi @winnerisyoupod over on Twitter or BlueSky - tell us your favourite PS2 launch game, whydontcha? We're keeping the PS2 party going next episode with our individual top 10 games of all time. See you then!

We're going way further back in time for this draft as part of a new yearly bonus episode where we draft from 30 years ago. 1995 is first (1996 next year, obvs) and, by god, getting reliable scores for these games is a reet ballache.

So, apologies for the messy caluclations, but there's still plenty to enjoy as KDB joins us for drafting fun once again - who can get the best total score for their 10 games from '95?

Say hi @winnerisyoupod on Twitter and BlueSky and we'll see you next time for our PS2 25th anniversary celebrations!

Or Project Zero II if you prefer names that are worse. That's right, it's Halloween and it's time to send off this year's Spooktoberfest with Tecmo's PS2 horror classic.

Get out your camera obscuras, hold your twin sister's hand and keep your calendar free for a bloody ritual or two (in case the first one fails) as we dive deep into the game's setting, story, gameplay, atmosphere, Wii remake and much more.

Pack up your pagoda, stuff your satchel full of Ramune and whatever higashi is, as we begin spooky season for 2025 with Konami's newest entry into the Silent Hill franchise. It's part one of playing as Japanese schoolgirls, as we hit up Ebisugaoka for Silent Hill f.

We talk the non-Silent Hill setting, the combar, puzzles, story, endings, and much more. Massive spoilers, obviously.

As the last vestiges of the summer get swept away in the wind and rain, so too do we sign off the season with part two of the 4th annual Summer of Resi with a deep dive into one of the series' greatest games: Resident Evil 4.

Come say hi on Twitter or BlueSky @winnerisyoupod, rate/review the pod on your platform of choice, share with your pals, check out the video version on YouTube or search for us on TikTok.

YES! It's finally that time of year! Bust out your tank controls and your zombified dads, fill 'em full of SMG bulllets and have a little cry - it's time to play Resident Evil CODE: Veronica!

We chat about the game's development, the gameplay, the visuals, the weapons, the characters, the bosses, and then we stumble through the story after realising we'd both somehow ignored important information about the entire premise of the game. Morons.

This is a great game and a fun pod, so let us know if you enjoyed it over @winnerisyoupod on Twitter (boo) or BlueSky (yay?). Check out the video version by searching for us on YouTube.

Hey, it's 2025 innit! That means we're a quarter of the way through the 21st Century. What that also means is we've had a cavalcade of cool games in the last 25 years.

We're here to celebrate that with 25 games for 25 years - 2000 to 2025 (and yes, we know we're technically in the 26th year of the century but shut up). Well, more than 25, actually, as David and Alex both have their own individual Top 25 lists to discuss.

Come tell us your favourite game of the century over @winnerisyoupod on either Twitter or BlueSky.

Check out the A Winner Is You Podcast channel on YouTube for the video version of this episode, or go on TikTok to see clips if you can't pay attention for more than 30 seconds. WOW, A BLUE CAR!

We ran the randomiser over all the SNES and Mega Drive games currently on the Nintendo Switch Online service, came up with three games from each console, played 'em and now we rank 'em.

This episode features, for the SNES: F-Zero, Psycho Dream and Wild Guns, and for the Mega Drive: Earthworm Jim, Space Harrier 2 and Strider.
