Game(s) of the Year

It's been a week of ups and downs for Cyberpunk 2077. The good news? If you have a PC and a 3070 the game is great. The bad news? Pretty much everything else.

• EA Play Coming to Game Pass PC Has Been Delayed
• Remember How We Were Surprised That Codemasters Was Only Worth $770 Million?
• Among Us Coming To the Switch with Cross-Play
• Someone in Parliament Must Have Wanted a PS5
• Stern releases another band themed Pinball for old people
• Arcade1Up’s Zen virtual pinball tables delayed into next year
• Atari VCS is out… and its game store is empty?

Vinny: Do you think the criticism and/or hate CDPR is getting specifically for CP2077 is warranted?

JoeColeslaw: Just last night a Holiday Miracle took place! I started explaining GamePass to my Girlfriend and showing what I have downloaded already, she downplayed it, so I kept showing all of the games offered, and she stopped me on Hellblade. I was explaining how it took a deep dive into experiencing Psychosis, she was intrigued. I managed to get past the boss of illusion, and she is buckled in the backseat, ready for a Hell of a Ride! The last time this happened was with layers of fear, odd choice, I know... With that, I have a question!

What games would you think would be just as fun watching, as playing? Something that's not too long, not too grindy, but an engaging experience.

TheBigDog: Which game was a bigger Disaster. Cyberpunk or Anthem.

Princess_Megan: When you're stuck in a game, would you rather use an online walkthrough, or work on it until you figure it out yourself? I prefer figuring it out myself, but there is a point where I will watch one if I'm spinning my wheels too long.

SweatySpookz: Do you think BioWare will ever consider making another star wars KOTOR game for console, and if not, how come? It’s been a genuine question of mine for quite some time.

Mansocks: What is your favorite holiday-themed game?
