Bad With Games is a podcast journey through the best, most important, and most influential titles in video game history. Games journalist Jonathan lends his knowledge and experience to gaming neophyte Will as he plays through hundreds of classics for the first time. New gamers can join in to learn more about these iconic works, and gaming veterans can revisit them from a fresh perspective. Will and Jonathan will do their best to walk you through all the classics without getting too sidetracked by tangents, bickering, or just generally being bad (with games).
