Episode 98 - The Game Awards 2023 Nominees & Predictions

Gamers Week Podcast

Send us a text

Millions of gamers will be tuning in on Thursday, December 7, to see which games win which awards at The Game Awards 2023. However, it's safe to say that most are interested in which game will take home the coveted Game of the Year prize. We continue our cutthroat tradition from last year by competing against each other to see who can make the most correct predictions for the winners.
We'll also be talking about how Sony has confirmed it's delaying half of its planned live service games, how Sega is teasing movie adaptations of Persona and Yakuza, and how the mathematical concept of Pi can now play Pokémon (but still can't find the first gym after 16,000 hours of trying).
Finally, Donnie takes us all the way back to November 1996 in Retro Rewind.
