EA Cancels Open-World Star Wars Game, Report Says

Welcome back! It's 2019 and, like we do every year, we like to take this opportunity to look ahead at what's coming in 2019 in Video Games.  We talk about the game we're most looking forward to and discuss what the future of Xbox and PlayStation might have in store.  Are you ready to hear about the next generation of consoles? We weigh in with our thoughts on that subject.

This is it. It's our annual Game of the Year Awards show.  Along with our awards, we continue our tradition of looking back through the years to see what the Game of the Year was for 5, 10, 20, and 30 years ago.  This year we have a little more fun and introduce a new game: Secret Santa Remastered.  This year's awards categories include:

Biggest Surprise

Biggest Disappointment

I'm Still Not Convinced Award

Controller Chucker Award

I'm still glad I bought VR Award

I only played it for the Achievement Award

PAX Curse Award

PAX Curse-breaker Award

Best DLC

Maybe Next Year Award

Game of the Year

We sincerely want to thank all our listeners for another great year.  We wish you a very Happy Holiday, and a Joyous New Year.  We'll be back the first week of 2019 as we look forward to what the next year is set to bring us.
