Unlimited Hyperbole

Joe Robinson is a freelance games journalist who's written for plenty of PC focused publications, including RPS and Strategy Informer, so it's not surprising that he considers himself a PC gamer at heart. Joe therefore struggles to reconcile this with the fact that his favourite game is a mainstream console-exclusive - Halo: Combat Evolved. This week's episode of Unlimited Hyperbole examines why Joe has chosen such a popular, mainstream title as his favourite and questions which is more important - the content of the game or the context of playing it? Unlimited Hyperbole is a weekly podcast about videogames and the stories we tell about them. The show is divided into seasons of five episodes, each with a topic that’s used as a prompt when interviewing special guests. This season we’re talking about “My Favourite Game”.
