We got the whole gang together to draft our own lists for Fantasy Critic 2025!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is real and so is this podcast! We chat about Pokemon Cards, going back to Star Wars Outlaws, Blade Chimera, the greatness of Bowser's Fury and tripping out in Soundself. We also chat about all the details we know of the Switch 2, Sony cancelling games, Marvel Snap getting taken down, and even more!

While new releases are a bit slow we chat about Red Dead Redemption 2, Airborne Empire, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, and the fan-made Sonic Galactic. We also cover all of the newest Switch 2 rumblings abound as well as some trademarks and patents in the works. The question is also raised of whether more people know about Metal Gear or Persona!

We recap 2024's Fantasy Critic Draft and see the major winners and losers of last year! We also find time to chat about Rolling Stones' Top 50 Games of all time.

We're back with the podcast in the new year! We talk about what we did during the holiday break and all the degreaser we accidentally consumed. We also chat about a whole slew of games that occupied our time, the few bits of news that popped off, and even all of your emails!
