The Video Games Show
Summary: The Video Games Show (or VGS for short) is a weekly gaming industry news podcast hosted by Rich Bergin, Nick Kraftor and Greg the Engineer. While there are plenty of podcasts out there that deal with games themselves we take a closer look at the companies and people behind those games and what they are doing. News isn't the only thing we do though, we bring you reviews of the latest games, interviews with industry hot-shots and take special care to interact with our audience via email and our website. Rich and Kraft have over 50 years of gaming experience between them and VGS itself is over 8 years old! Tune in every Thursday when new episodes hit the net.

There is a story. About a video games show. That was hosted by two guys named Rich and Kraft. And this game show, it had some news now. About all that is good and all that is crap. (Sung to the tune of the Brady Bunch) The VGS, The VGS, its tons of fun right here on VGS!
Since id software released Wolfenstein 3D I have always had a special place in my heart for FPS's. This along with the highly anticipated nature of Huxley means that I can and will happily dedicate my time to playing the game as well as providing all of the feedback I can. I can think of no greater sense of accomplishment than helping make this game the best it can be.

Happy 5th Birthday to The Video Games Show! We keep up a tradition of awesomeness with not only all the latest news and listener emails, but we continue to run with the new traditions of live broadcast in our chatroom and Skype calls from our listeners! All this and a DSi review to boot make for an awesome show.
This is a repost due to bad encoding. Our apologies to everyone. Tons of news rolling in from GDC this week and The Video Games Show is here to cover it all! Not only that but we introduce a new VGS feature: Skype call-ins! That's right, we can now take listener calls during the show. All of this plus reviews of GTA:China Town Wars and Peggle Dual Shot adds up to another exciting episode with Rich and Kraft!
This week's show is a bit different. Now being on a new night caused us to forget some prior commitments, so this week we have one hour of news, including the latest from GDC 09. The second hour is an all new best of show that includes bits from over the years. Enjoy.
Normally we describe the show here but I just want to say that Rich and I both agree this episode AWESOME! If you are a regular listener you will love it. If you haven't listened to us: get down with the sickness. Tune in this week to another action-packed VGS! (Spoiler alert: Rich cries.)
The VGS studio exploded today. Well, not exactly exploded but it was out of commission. We decided to take this opportunity to test a live broadcasting setup from a random room in Kraft's house! Still the same old show you know and love including reviews of the new Watchmen game and Rich's first Wii review!
Hadoken. kinda. We subjected ourselves to the new Street Fighter movie so you don't have to. In hindsight I would have rather stuck to the original plan of drinking acid and burning the soles of our feet with lit cigarettes. Not sure how that plan came to fruition but it was way better than what we actually did.
Rich is in charge of writing this weeks show description. "It's awesome."
