Topic Of The Show:
While everyone is creating lists of their most anticipated upcoming games, the Game Informer crew is taking time to look back at one of the best years of gaming in The Spectacular Video Game Draft of 2018. Host Alex Stadnik uses his love for fantasy football leagues to pit Ben, Kim, John, and Van Aken against one another. The rules are simple: each player must draft a team of five video games released in 2018 in an attempt to assemble the best team, and then podcast listeners will vote on which team deserves the number one spot. Video games are picked via Snake Draft rules, meaning the pick order is reversed each round. Lastly, each team must include one pick from Metacritic's Worst Rated Games Of 2018.
Stay tuned to the Game Informer Twitter and the Official Game Informer Community Discord if you would like to vote for a team.
Listener Questions:
