It was a weird one in video games this week. Gamers upended the stock market because they only believe in memes, and whose fault is that? Also, you can bang Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk, but should you? Nope, because he belongs to GamesBeat editors Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti. Also, Mike talks about Super Mario 3D World. Join us, won't you?

Activision is run by clowns, and Xbox Live Gold costs a lot more now. It's time to talk about video games on the GamesBeat Decides podcast. And GamesBeat editors Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti showed up to do exactly that. They also answer listener questions before talking in depth about Hitman 3. Join them, won't you?

It's 2021 now, and video games are somehow still legal. And even if they weren't, we would still do this show because we're just a couple of badasses, and you can tell by looking at our gamer chairs. On this week's episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast, Mike Minotti and Jeff Grubb discuss the small bits of news. Jeff has also spent some time with Hitman 3 and he talks at length about that. Join us, won't you?

GamesBeat Decides the top 10 games of the year. 

On this week's episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast, Cyberpunk is falling apart. GamesBeat editors Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti discuss the flailings and failings of CD Projekt Red. How did it get so bad for the studio? Well, it doesn't help when you piss off your partners. The crew also answers your questions, and Jeff finally beat Ori. 

The Game Awards was the big event of the past week besides the launch of Cyberpunk 2077. Geoff Keighley's celebration of the industry had plenty of awards, but it also revealed Sephiroth is coming to Smash and that The Initiative is making Perfect Dark. But what about Elden Ring? Where is that game since it didn't show up at the awards? The crew talks talk a tiny bit about that on this week's episode of the GamesBeat Decides podcast. GamesBeat editors Mike Minotti and Jeff Grubb also talk about Cyberpunk, go over the NPDs, and answer your questions. Join us, wont' you?

Some big names left BioWare this week. What does that mean for the studio, and where does that leave Mass Effect and Dragon Age 4? GamesBeat editors Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti discuss that on this week's episode of GamesBeat Decides. Also, Oscar Isaac is playing Snake in a Metal Gear Solid movie, and the crew hopes that actually becomes a reality. In the games section, Mike played Immortals: Fenyx Rising, and Jeff doesn't talk about Astro. But before all of that, Mike has a very important message for Jeff and the GamesBeat Decides audience. 

On this week's episode, Mike accuses Jeff of consorting unfairly with speedrunners and more!

A lot happened in video games this week. Capcom got hacked. Jim Ryan isn't aware of any complaints about storage. Nintendo's lawyers were very active. But all the crew on the GamesBeat Decides podcast wants to talk about is Astro's Playroom and their speedrunning feud. GamesBeat editors Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti have been going back and forth in that game all week, and Jeff has decided to declare victory.  Jeff and Mike have also played some other games. That includes Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which Jeff hates. Mike's getting into Yakuza: Like A Dragon, which he really likes. Join us for conversations about all of this and more, won't you?
