A Winner Is You

It's late in the month but we haven't forgotten spooky season! It's one of our favourite annual traditions, SPOOKTOBERFEST, and this year it's off to a flyer with the fantastic, esoteric, evocative, terrifying Silent Hill: Townfall. We go really deep into the game's story in this one, so a pretty hefty spoiler warning if you haven't played it yet. Say hi @winnerisyou on BlueSky, check out SuperSmillie and Thrillex on RankOne and Letterboxt, and search for A Winner is You Podcast on YouTube and TikTok.

It's Zelda's 40th birthday and we're less than a month away from probably the most anticipated remake of all time. To prepare for that, we had a go at the original masterpiece.There's probably not much to say that hasn't already been said, so we've instead got a tier list for all the major dungeons in the game. Alex then takes on a music quiz to see if he can identify 20 songs from the game (picked at random by David) hearing only the first 1 second of each. Say hi @winnerisyou on BlueSky, check us out by searching for A Winner is You Podcast on YouTube and RankOne, and we'll see you soon for Spooktoberfest 2026!

I died once... but not before I'd listened to the final main instalment of the 5th annual Summer of Resi - it's the Wii 'light gun' shooter, The Umbrella Chronicles. We chat about the scenarios in the game that cover Resident Evil 0, 1, 2, 3 and then an exclusive finale to take down Umbrella 'once and for all'. It's not a bad game at all, but can it trouble anything other than one place above Resi 6 in our rankings? Listen and find out.Up next is a bonus Summer of Resi episode covering the new movie out on 18th September, so get down to your local cinema and come back to hear our thoughts! Say hi @winnerisyou on BlueSky, check us out on YouTube or TikTok, follow us on RankOne as a pod, or individually as SuperSmillie and Thrillex.

In the summer time when the Resi is... fine. Just fine. We're basically through every mainline entry in the series now, so 2026 marks the beginning of our journey into the lower echelons of the Resident Evil pantheon. We're starting with a pretty good one, though, as Resi Revelations is a 3DS technical marvel with an awesome spooky ship setting that's somewhat marred by shoehorned action nonsense, terrible writing and some truly insufferable twats. We talk development, gameplay, story, characters, enemies, bosses, the map, and loads more - plus we rank it amongst every other Resi we've covered on the pod so far. Come say hi to us @winnerisyou on BlueSky or @winnerisyoupod on Twitter, and we'll see you soon for Summer of Resi part 2.

We've finally wrapped up our N64 30th anniversary celebrations, as we run through the final two years of its life and bring you our individual top 10 greatest games on the system.Yes, there's some crossover, and yes, we both obviously have Banjo and Diddy Kong Racing in there. It's us, after all. Will either of them top our lists? Listen to find out. Say hi to us @winnerisyou on BlueSky, check out the video version on YouTube, and follow us on RankOne - SuperSmillie and Thrillex. See you next episode for the 5th annual Summer of Resi!
