I Need More...

This is an amazing podcast. I have already left a review and it stays the same. 5*’s. I just really hope that it comes back. I really miss it.

BravoTwoHero ,

Tickles the nostalgia bone

I can’t get enough of this podcast and have listened intently to all 70 odd before I left this comment. This show is consistently good and feels like a well produced gem in a sea of piss poor gaming podcasts. Keep up the good work Liam.

Skol7 ,

Insightful, cheerful and utterly delightful

I've been listening to Final Games since the beginning. Liam is a very likeable presenter, you root for him to do the best show that he possibly can when you listen to each episode. The format is brilliant, and the guests are always interesting.

If you have a love for Games, or even if you don't, listen and love Final Games.
