They discuss the leaks at Nintendo and Sony, new game announcements like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and the Mafia Trilogy remaster, and the announcement trailer for Unreal Engine 5.

Game of the Year/Decade 2019
It’s never too late for a year-end wrap up, right?

As an added bonus, they also talk about their top ten games of the decade! Yes, this episode is two months late, but it’s also two hours long!
