Games I beat in 2026...

#10 - Donkey Kong Bananza

YES! YES!!! THIS IS WHAT I WANT VIDEOGAMES TO BE!!

#9 - Red Dead Redemption

Didn't think I'd beat this again, but after 30 mins I couldn't help but get sucked in. The sequel genuinely makes this game better in hindsight

Unironically actually needed to hear this today. Thank you for not only saying it 10 years ago, but for also sharing it again today Greg 🙂

#8 - Tetris Effect

Shoutout to T pieces

#7 - Death Stranding 2

Shoutout to Dollman

#6 - Mario Kart World

This is definitely a new all-timer. I'm totally blown away by how they followed up it's perfect predecessor. Couldn't be more delighted with how this turned out!

#5 - Clickolding

It's crazy what a game can convince you to do sometimes.

I don't think I'd be in the games industry if Giant Bomb never existed. They've been a constant source of entertainment and insight. Even if the site and the name get hollowed out, their influence wasn't just on games media, it was on the entire industry. That will never die

#4 - The Blue Prince

Spookily enough, it took 46 hours for me to beat...

One underrated thing that might fly under the radar is the tease of the THPS & Spongebob crossover

#3 - Modern Warfare (2019)

#2 - Bowser's Fury - That was bloody brilliant!

#1 - Super Kiwi 64

Every game I beat this year - A thread

(Just wanted to give myself something to look back on throughout the year, let's see how this goes...)
