What is the best game where you can eat cake?
Because it’s the opening line of our theme song, it’s the first question anyone heard on our acclaimed Best Games Ever podcast – a five-star rated show that some critics have described as “safe as badgers” and “short-lived”. “.
So we decided to ask him for our first live podcast, recorded at EGX London earlier this year, with an open mic for audience members to weigh in with their suggestions. After several discussions about Breath of the Wild, and whether or not pizza constitutes a cake, an audience member stepped forward and made a suggestion so perfect that he won an award and our eternal gratitude.
We’d like to thank everyone who showed up, it was really special to see those seats with real people in them, and we loved how excited everyone was to participate.
Let us know what you think of the show, and if this is your first time listening to it, check back for previous episodes. If you have topic suggestions, we’d love to hear them, so please comment below or tweet us.
The best game where you can eat cake, according to the panel.
The best suggestions came from the audience, but this is what our staff, the idiots, chose:
Tom – Breath of the Wild
Tom reckons Breath of the Wild is one of the best games of all time, and you can cook and eat cakes in it. I can’t really blame him for this, but I like to mug him, so he didn’t win.
Connor – Spider-Man 2
Connor entered this on the basis of a pizza delivery minigame, and was immediately hit with two semantic but fatal flaws: First, delivering a cake is not the same as eating it. Second, pizza is not a cake (don’t write).
Donaldson – Dead Rising and Final Fantasy (various)
Of course, Donaldson came out on top with the web picks, and to be fair, they’re both brilliant releases: Final Fantasy for its photorealistic yummy cakes that look delicious enough to make you lick the TV, and Dead Rising, where you can’t just eat cake but also brandish it like a weapon. On this basis, he won the award for the panel.
Public – Celeste
But the audience won with Celeste, a beautiful throwback platformer where you spend the entire game collecting strawberries that are baked into a big cake that everyone eats at the end. An insightful and award-worthy suggestion!
