The holidays has made it hard for us to get together and do a podcast, but we've finally found a day that works and thus let's us squeeze one more show into 2015. There isn't a ton of news, so the bulk of the podcast will be spent looking back at the year that was. Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss their Top 10 Games of 2015, which were two of 12 people that contributed to the overall 411 Games Top 10 list that will be revealed next week in a special 411 Game Awards Column. We also discuss s...

Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison discuss what they thought about all three of those events in detail, what were some of the best announcements? Are we excited to see Bayonetta in Smash?

Today, we discuss what could be shown at Playstation Experience 2015 as for as surprises and more updates on games we already know about. There's also the Game Awards happening in mere hours and w...
