This Week's Panel - KooshMoose, wildwest08   Show Discussion - KooshMoose and wildwest08 are back again for the first time in 2026 so that means it's time for a quick recap of 2025. We asked our Patrons for feedback on some of their favorite games released in 2025, games that they just got around to playing in 2025, and if they had any underrated games from 2025 they wanted to recommend. We asked ourselves the same questions, but we also took some time to discuss our biggest disappointments of 2025 as well as what games we're excited for in 2026. We also discussed the January targets and Game Pass news for the first half of January.
