Our end of year special has us look back on some of the best and worst games and gaming moments of 2018 with our good buddy Tony Polanco!

2018 is coming to a close, ARGonauts! Tony Polanco of The Koalition, Geek.com, and The Throwdown joins us to chat about the best and worst of the past year. All the games and gaming moments we loved and hated are covered here, including our thoughts on the PlayStation Classic. Spoiler alert, they’re not flattering.

Our news talk this week has us cover Epic Games forming their own Steam competitor, and what that means for developers and fans alike. We then discuss the latest NES games coming to Nintendo Switch Online, Capcom working on a mysterious title, and the release date for Toejam & Earl: Back in the Groove.

The Stage of History has us welcome more modern classics with Spider-Man 2 and God of War II. Robert then puzzles us with the unique Intelligent Qube in Obscura. Be sure to grab our game code giveaways for Overwatch and the first of many codes for Mutant Football League: Dynasty Edition, then stick around for another game of Random Select! Who could Robert be this time?
