It’s the landmark 450th episode of Gaming Podcast — and the end of a very disappointing year in videogames (among other things) for 2016. These aren’t your usual awards though – Jonah gives the “Best PS2 Game” award to The Last Guardian, for instance. It’s an extra long podcast at almost 2 hours, so enjoy all of the banter.
There’s also news, of course, which includes:
- Torment: Tides of Numenera and Yooka-Laylee get release dates
- New Age of Empires 2 expansion out next week
- Final Fantasy‘s 30th anniversary plans to be revealed soon
Let us know your favorite games of 2016!
