One of the best video games podcasts

Relaxed and easy going, Rebel FM is a great video games podcast. The hosts have a long history in video games criticism and development. I look forward to this every week.

The last gaming podcast on my phone

I’ve listened to RebelFM since episode 140ish. Other podcasts have come and gone on my phone but RebelFM has remained a consistent weekly download for me.
The cast are all nice to listen to and well informed on all matters of the game industry from the inside, not just from a consumer level. Even when it’s games I don’t care for (DOTA2...) I still listen because they’re passionate about what they’re talking about.
It’s the only gaming based podcast that I still recommend. From big AAA to indie iOS games, RebelFM has informed me about many games I love and hate. Give this show a listen.

Looong time listener

Love this podcast. Great to hear about games they have been playing but it is much more than that. You actually get to know them as individuals which is fantastic. Keep up the great work.

Was a 5 star must listen

Vote or support trump, vote or support brexit then don't listen it's turned into cheap, childish, dismissive digs, especially Matt who obviously hasn't read how well Britains economy is doing, this was a great podcast

Great stuff in there but 1 Cook spoils the broth.

This podcast has 4 host with two main host. One is charming, witty tells a great story. Some one who you'd love to hang out with and listen to. The Other is at once compelling and totally insufferable. Some one who will bemoan the lack of ethnics in medieval depictions of Poland(?) and pontificate about minority representation whilst in the ext breath criticise seemingly all game related news that doesn’t originate from a small cadre of North American developers. It feels as though he would be better employed as PR for Microsoft rather than for an independent games journalist. If you want to listen to car crash type comments that are eloquent but totally absurd then this is for you.

2009 was a dark year

But it spawned this great podcast. Consistently good and a cast that do not snark for snark sake. Genuinely refreshing hot and cold takes.

A very enjoyable listen, but...

Whilst I enjoy their insights into gaming I often struggle with the use of the word "like". In any episode the word like will be used hundreds of times, sometimes four or five times per sentence, once I picked up on it I found it hard to ignore. Apart from that a good podcast.

Less Rebel, more incredible

Can be funnier than most comedy films or tv shows...unlike me. Enough said.

Good but not the best

This is generally a good video game podcast and the hosts can be quite funny. However, it things like eating and yawning down the mic annoy you, you might want to avoid this one.

One of my favourite gaming podcasts

I love Rebel FM. Arthur, Mitch, Anthony and the others are a great mix of personalities and their opinions and discussions always make me laugh. Great music choices too! Ace.

Bring back Tyler...

I think Rebel FM is amazing. But one thing has been missing of late - the great Tyler Barber.
Bring him back. And get Robert Ashley to come on sometimes too.
Still an excellent podcast, but could be better.

One of the best..

Enjoyed rebelFM since the demise of 1up. Miss game club, the bully series was fantastic. Some of the best podcasting content ever. One thing is annoying. Who is it that is always yawning? That's the only negative!

Unexpected wookie references

This is the best gaming podcast out there. It has everything, iOS, PC and console game discussions. The letters section is often hilarious an at times very somber as well. Cannot recommend this enough.

Arther is sooooo boring

The guy sounds like he's just found his family dead. The guy is so miserable that just listening to him moan about everything in a monotone makes u wanna just make him vanish, an never ever laughs. He is dead inside. I listened to the show ages ago and had to stop because he made me feel depressed, thought I'd check back and hope he had left. But sadly no. So back to all the better happier gaming podcasts.

Very entertaining

Good knowledge and talk about games, by funny individuals. Relationship advice can get a little bit tedious after listening to every podcast for 5 months but overall a great podcast that I would recommend to anyone interested in games.

Fabulous

I never tire of this podcast - even if they're wittering on about a game I have no interest in on the sodding ps3...
Funny, intelligent, informative and always fun - all this and a kicking theme tune.

all things relationship related

i listen to a lot of gaming podcasts and this one is excellent, not only do they have an interesting opinion on all things game related. They have an infinite amount of wisdom when dealing with the car crashes that are the listeners love lives. well worth a listen

Too cool for school

American males in their natural habitat, parading their unfathomable ignorance on all things not American or game-related.

The BEST gaming podcast

I listen to alot of podcasts, nearly all are gaming related, Rebel FM is the best one. I've been listening since the early days and i still look forward to downloading the newest episode each week. Shout out to the all the crew. Just showing my appreciation, you read out my letter a few episodes back and helped me out, so did the other listeners of the show on your website. So keep up the great work!

Baron Von Pleb

I listened to this podcast for nearly nine months and used to love it. It seriously was my top gaming podcast, it made me read the three hosts articles/work in their day jobs.
But... And it's a big but... I stopped listening about two months back. It wasn't a full stop, I started loosing interest when the phrase, "I've been playing games I can't talk about". If you can't talk about them, don't rub our noses in it! Just stay silent. There was other things that started to grind me, but the final nail was when Anthony said that "All people from the UK could go @&#€ themselves". Bye you guys, you lost a fan.
Oh and the reason I'm writing this review now, I've just return from South East Asia and couldn't find the time.

Great for games - terrible for relationships...

These guys are really great, they are such characters with such a great dynamic between them that the show is really entertaining. They do a great job of discussing the latest games and industry news. There is a real mix of different game tastes between the guys, so you get a good debate and balanced view coming out of their show. The show would be a 5 out of 5 but they just love reading out relationship letters. These are totally repetitive and to be honest you really would not want to take their relationship advice, unless you wanted to be single and play games all day of course. The relationship letters are a 0 out of 5, and the overall score is 4 out of 5.

This podcast has matured into somethign very different since 1UP....

The hosts nowadays seem to be so cynical and self involved after the fallout of 1UP, that I can't really deal with them. I love the show MUCH less becuase of the opinions, I like the discussion and essentially the analysis of the games that are being played.
As mentioned the show now seems indulgent, the constant of each show is some discussion about their jobs (specifically Anthony Gallegos') as writers in the game industry. How there is no pure impartiality or objectivity, and therefore it's fine to disregard it as a concept. Advice being given on 'how to get into the industry', is absolutely fine, and generally correct, but to bring it up frequently enough to imply to your audience that you are an authority on it, is yet another indulgence.
Especially when there is absolutely fantastic writing elsewhere, on games no less! Writing that actually analyses rather than numbers them, and then tries to justify those numbers.
I am purely reacting, but I feel at the moment, if you're a newcomer, try this podcast. If you don't mind being preached at occasionally. If you are like me, a veteran of the podcast, then perhaps you may be feeling the same as me. A little tired of the self absorbed conversation I often subject myself to.
