“Jeff knows a lot about video games, the video games business, and is great at explaining things. I look forward to this show every week for entertainment and information.”

“Jeff is the only guy who can pull off a solo show and still kill it. Pulling from a lifetime of video game knowledge, his takes on video game news and discourse are unique, informative and open minded. There’s never a boring episode; even the email section is fantastic!”

“I've been listening to Jeff Gerstmann talk about video games since 2008 and I can't stop and won't stop. You can set your watch to this man. He's been covering the industry since Zak McKraken was a spring chicken, and you can't get veteran insight on video games and the video...”Read full review »

“It’s very odd to me that many of the podcasters are so disconnected from video games and it’s hard to listen to. The reason Star Wars did bad it because that game was seriously bad. Everyone said it was bad when it came out. It plays bad it’s boring etc. either you ignore that fact or you’re that...”Read full review »

“Jeff’s analysis of the video game industry, for my money, is next to none. Plus you get some great opinions on the latest games and emails about energy drinks. What more do you want!?”

“These things are long and Jeff doing it solo has it’s perks but it can be difficult to listen to sometimes. I also feel like he doesn’t really talk about PLAYING video games very much. That part of the pod feels like it’s about 20 mins and the rest is news/emails. He does not seem interested in...”Read full review »

“I started listening when Jeff took over guest hosting this show. What a pro. It’s a one man show, and he has so much knowledge in the industry and so much to say that he can easily produce consistently great 3 hour weekly podcasts.”

“Jeff's podcast used to be something special, last 2 years it's just been in decline. It's definitely noticeable how bad Jeff needs somebody else to bounce things off and call him out on oof opinions and incorrect ideas. Ryan and Brad were always good for this.
I've noticed Jeff...”Read full review »

“Listening to Jeff compare the launch of cyberpunk to The Day Before was….either ill informed or purposefully misleading. In general he seems to know VERY little about the scandal with The Day Before but certainly has opinions on your opinion about it.”

“We are about the same age and have a lot in common. I have enjoyed his content and been a fan for many, many years but….Since he’s gone solo I can usually only listen to about the first hour of his pods. That seems to be where the meat is and the rest is just him solo rambling about the...”Read full review »

“Great place for a nuanced discussion about various games from an older, well-established perspective. Starting to get bogged down in talks of cultural or political issues with a condescending attitude towards people who might not hold the same perspectives. “Republicans buy sneakers too.” -...”Read full review »

“Easily one of the best gaming pods on the block. Fueled by sugar free energy drinks, and Windjammers —- Jeff has the knowledge of multiple gaming websites crammed into one twizted mind. If you want to listen to someone who was there since the beginning of time (gaming) then this is for you...”Read full review »

“Listening to this very negative take on a gaming podcast makes it glaringly obvious why Jeff ended up alone. An old, angry man, speaking nonsense, hooked on energy drinks. A sad state of someone who was once one of the greatest hosts in the gaming space.”

“Gerstmann used to be silly and fun on top of his realist (sometimes cynical) view of the world. The most memorable part of this pod so far is him going off on how pathetic and cliche someone that still uses the term woke and pejorative is and ending this rant by calling said people basement...”Read full review »

Jeff is not like that. Though his show is still full of great energy, I love the way he breaks every...”Read full review »

I will always love him, but after a year I find myself usually turning off his show in aggravation. His intentionally ignorant takes for comedic effect were fun when there...”Read full review »
