While some might say that 2022 was a slow year as far as new releases were concerned, that doesn't mean there weren't still some absolutely stellar titles making their debut. With Sony's God of War Ragnarok and Horizon Forbidden West, Nintendo's Splatoon 3 and Pokemon Arceus, and killer third-party releases like Elden Ring and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, there was no shortage of amazing games to play. We're counting down the best games of 2022 and picking our own personal GOTYs.

We'll also be discussing how 2022 saw the rise (and fall) of the video game leaker,  how the Xbox Series X has a lot to prove in 2023 after its unusually quiet 2022, a hot take that performance mode has destroyed the point of video game consoles, and how Hideo Kojima believes he'll still be making video games as an AI in a hundred years.

Finally, class is in session with Professor Ryebread in our Gaming History 101 segment. In this episode, we're looking at first-to-market video game consoles that were later overshadowed by more successful competitors.
