- GTA - A generational masterpiece
Fantastic mini series of the scandal that followed one of the highest grossing, most played, wildly hated but secretly loved game series that went from a concept of cops and robbers to the most amusing free roaming tantalising games ever played.
Some very interesting articles discussed that were linked back to GTA too which you might never have known about.
Looking forward to the new release and who cares if I’m in my 30’s now…this game was unreal.
Well done team Big City Nights!! Very muc... more

United Kingdom4 years ago - Needs to level up
An enjoyable enough podcast but this is a very light and general overview of the game and its history. I was hoping for a lot more detail, for instance they don’t even name the music label who originally worked with DMA and they don’t even name the company who says it owns Rockstar. There is zero detail on the creative process behind each game and no insight into how a game is constructed or coded or how the music is created etc. So it was disappointingly light on detail.
Apple Podcasts3SwearingDadUnited Kingdom4 years ago - A nostalgic look at the GTA from the very beginning
I remember playing the very first GTA on the PC before graduating to the later versions on consoles. This is an insightful pod which highlights the origin and controversies surrounding the series. The guy that goes by Bugzy is the only thing that really brings it down a little as it’s difficult to overlook his ridiculous gangster wannabe accent, but the pod is generally worth persevering with if you can forget how cringeworthy he is.

United States4 years ago - So so so good!
I actually enjoyed this so much that I listened to all episodes back to back they were all brilliant and brought back some great memories.
Hopefully there are more like this in the future!! 😎👍
Apple Podcasts5toon.kevUnited Kingdom4 years ago - Content is decent. Production is bad.
There’s an interesting story here, with lots of insights which could be presented.
Unfortunately the presenter reads his monologue at half speed in a dramatic gangsta voice. The producer has decided that production means putting a trap beat and guitar in the background al the time. Just absolutely braindead, unforced mistakes to seem down with the kids.
Just tell the story at a normal pace and share the insights and interviews. In production, less is more.
