by Leave a Comment

First up, happy holidays to everyone reading this. I hope this season has been filled with games and gaming.

With 2018 coming to and end I thought this would be a good time to do a look back at the past year. The way the timing works out we will be recording our last podcast of the year on Boxing Day and that episode will release on New Years Day. So I thought this would make for a great discussion topic for that show.
I'm going to be looking at my most played games of 2018. I will follow that up with a list of some of the best new games of 2018 as well as my biggest surprise of 2018. [ READ MORE ]
