Unlimited Hyperbole is a weekly podcast about videogames and the stories we tell about them, with a new special guest every week.

Using "My Favourite Game" as a topic for the first season of episodes, we talk to the creator of Dear Esther and Creative Director of The Chinese Room, Dan Pinchbeck.

Dan explains why STALKER: The Shadow of Chernobyl is his favourite game, the affect it had on his own work and how a tumultuous development can sometimes create a better product.
