It is that time again, our annual Game Of The Year Special! In this episode, I go over all of our previous game of the year winners and then declare the winner for 2021.

While it was refreshing, I would definitely like to play more new releases this year. All that being said, while our gam...

In this episode of Gamepinions, I talk about God of War: Ragnarok's delay and the fact that the game is now also coming to PlayStation 4. This could all be due to Covid, and I completely trust Santa Monica's decision to delay the game. However, I think there could be for a different reason for this big decision.

2020 has not been kind to anyone. This week I talk about all of the crazy things going on in gaming. Games media, select members of the Smash Bros community, and the Last of Us, have all been trending for all the wrong reasons. The Last of Us 2 is trending due to its developers and voice actors being the targets of death threats. The other two are much more complicated than that. I don't find these topics fun and look forward to going back to more light hearted content in the next episode. I f...
