After a holiday hiatus, we're back! Jack, Daniel, and returning guest Dean Stephenson talk about the best games of 2017. And what a year it was! incredible sequels, new IPs that left gamers stunned, and the incredible success of a new Nintendo console - all of it came together to make a legendary year for video games. Each host came with a list of five games to discuss (and let me tell you, it was a feat to whittle a list of great games from 2017 down to just five).
While you listen, we'd love for you think about what games you'll remember as the best of 2017 and leave a comment!
Each week we will be tackling a video game, old or new, that at least one of us believes deserves to stand as one of the greatest games of all time. We'll dive into its history, development, and gameplay, while trying to argue for or against the game of the week. Sometimes we will be in harmonious agreement, other times we might be fighting a bitter battle to the very end. However each episode shakes out, we hope that everyone who listens will find the show entertaining and informative.
