“I’ve loved listening to this show for well over a decade. While some hosts have come and gone, the show has consistently been enjoyable. However, some hosts can be quite insensitive to views that differ from their own. The worst offender is Jeff Balakar. If they replaced Jeff and stopped...”Read full review »

“RIP Giant Bomb 2008-2022. Do yourself a favor and listen to Jeff Gerstmann’s show and Nextlander instead.”

“Step one, fire all the original hosts.
Step two, fill it with man children who spew woke nonsense so they don’t get fired.
Step three, instead of talking about games, talk about politics.
Truly full of nonsensical drivel spewed by garbage people…
Go back and listen to the old episodes, they...”Read full review »

“I’m leaving a shoot review because their use of “shoot” and “for shoot” instead of real highlights their douchebaggery and makes it unlistenable around others for fear of being ostracized for being as pathetic as these nerds.”

“I’m still waiting for a good interesting and nuanced gaming podcast. The bombcast used to be that. Even the glory days of 1up.
Now it’s just the most surface level discussion of gaming you can find. Somehow it takes twenty minutes to say absolutely nothing about a game, no unusual or nuanced...”Read full review »

“I love listening to this podcast, but now my sub is in doubt. Not sure how to deal with one of the hosts calling online trolls “gay losers” about 40 minutes into the newest episode. That was a shock, and a real disappointment. Shame on you, Giant Bomb! That’s totally uncalled for and super...”Read full review »

“Been a fan pretty much since the beginning so I’ll never turn my back on GB. Altho it’s sad to see so many new people come and go after a couple years. Update: everyone is gone and they can’t make a good podcast to save their lives. It’s as bad as it used to be good. Ryan is rolling in his grave....”Read full review »

“Have been listening to this podcast since the start, through cast changes, company changes, and just life in general.
The Bombcast is fun, engaging, and it’s just nice to listen to a group of people who all genuinely love what they are doing.
Love you guys !”

“Listening to the old days, 08-12 era.
Edit: it’s 2023 and all the old podcasts are riddled with ads. Every 10-15 minutes there is an ad break.
I stopped listening after Jeff left and the original crew was officially all gone. I suppose they don’t even want old content to be worth listening to,...”Read full review »

“I'm not a bitter old fan from 10+ years ago. I'm just someone who likes game discussions that are insightful and entertaining. This show very rarely provides that.
The first half hour is unlistenable. The current crew is a charisma black hole, which is why adding a single normal person...”Read full review »

The only reason this isn’t getting 6 stars is there isn’t enough Tamoor on the cast. I get the man is busy but he had me as a...”Read full review »

“I like this crew and their dynamic together, but there is no one on this earth I want to listen to for 2.5 hours. With a show that long it’s inevitable that half will be filler and rambling. Give me a tight 30mins or 1hr focused on the game content and I’ll be back for sure.”

Dude is awful, don’t even get me started on the...”Read full review »

Everyone else good was...”Read full review »

“30 minutes into a typical episode and they’re discussing things like what they ate that week or buying a new toilet.

“I only started listening to GB in 2014 or 2015 so I’m definitely not an OG but this show has gone down hill so far in recent years and it’s definitely not the same show it once was. Jeff, Alex, Brad and Vinny all leaving was the nail in the coffin for me. RIP Giant Bomb.”
