Ranking The First 50 Games

Welcome to The Long & Short of It Podcast, where each episode we review one of the games included in the MetaCritic top 100.
Our first episode we discuss GTA 4, how it has aged and whether it is still playable in 2020.

Grand Theft Auto IV

This week Laurence and Dan discuss the 2001 Xbox exclusive, Halo: Combat Evolved. 
This is one of Microsofts biggest games and was a big part of the successful launch of the original Xbox. But does it still hold up?

Halo: Combat Evolved

This week Laurence & Dan discuss the 2001 game, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Does this game still hold up 19 years after its release and does it really deserve to be the top rated MGS game on the top 100 list?

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

This week Laurence & Dan discuss the third entry in the Tony Hawk Pro Skater series with THPS3. This is a massive nostalgia hit for millennials, but besides the soundtrack, does this game still hold up?
Editors Note: At one point in the episode Laurence says there is a secret level in this game that features a 'Kiss' concert, after reviewing we realised that that level features in THUG, not THPS3

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3

This week Laurence & Dan visit the 2000 game, Final Fantasy 9 for the PS1.
With this being the only Final Fantasy Game on the list, the discussion over the game itself and the legacy that the franchise holds over video gaming is explored and whether not FF9 deserved to be on this list.

Final Fantasy 9

This week Laurence & Dan discuss the 2011 Rocksteady game Batman: Arkham City, which ranks at number 32 on our list. 
Does this game hold up in 2020 and being the only super hero game on the top 100, is it worthy of its position on this list?

Batman: Arkham City

This week Laurence and Dan discuss the classic Rare game for the N64 'Goldeneye'. Classed as one of the great FPS games and one of the fathers of split screen multiplayer, does it still hold up in 2020?

Goldeneye

This week Laurence & Dan have gone back to play the 2013 Naughty Dog game 'The Last Of Us'. With only a few weeks until 'The Last Of Us Part 2' releases, does this game still stand up 7 years on from it's original release and does it deserve it's position in the top 100 games of all time?

The Last Of Us

This week we wade into the discussion on the divisive Naughty Dog release, The Last of Us Part 2.
Are the criticisms well found, or is this game really a masterpiece? 
Join us to talk about the heavy hitting themes within this game and if it really does deserve to be on the top 100 list.

The Last Of Us Part 2
