We were “smash brothers” long before we became the ‘Pack, and we continue to game with each other on a regular basis. If you look beyond all of the media sensationalism and message board wankery, you’ll discover that video games can help form bonds that will last forever. We’re living proof of that – we’re not jaded journalists (not yet, at least), we’re not tournament players and we’re certainly not fanboys. We’re just folks who love to play and discuss games with each other, and we hope to extend this friendship to our listeners with every installment.This podcast is a celebration of the social aspects of gaming.

We gather seven of the finest voices in pointless list making and we divulge lists with reckless abandon. This year we shake up the format and spend more time talking about games not on our Top 5 since there was a bit of overlap anticipated.

Full lists of top 5s below the splash art, SPOILER WARNING!!!

Seriously, you can read below and not even listen.
