We experiment with Apple Arcade multiplayer options, review the Halo TV series, Minecraft comes back around again, Kirby and the Forgotten Land demo, and Chris takes a run through a bunch of Xbox GamePass games.

A quick recap of the latest Nintendo Direct, talking Dad games, VR, more Wordle clones, Wylde Flowers, Duolingo, Risk: Game of Thrones, and Battleship.

We cover Sony buying Bungie, a few Apple Arcade releases like Bridge Constructor+, before Nick takes over with a brief history of Star Trek video games.

We're back (finally) and ready to talk Forza Horizons 5, more NFT mayhem, Microsoft buying everything, and Wordle spinoffs.

We're wrapping up the year with a final trip around our 4 corners.
