We are at the end of 2024, and it was quite a weird year in video games with a tremendous amount of varied and wonderful games released around a torrid industry full of layoffs, studio closures, and controversial decisions. And as is usual for our show, we will talk about some of the bigger news stories from 2024 in video games, but this special episode is here to showcase and discuss our favorite games of the year and ultimately rank the Top 25 Games of 2024.

Randy, Sean, and Marc will join together as we review the overall list, discuss our personal Top 10 games of 2024, debate breaking some of the ties, and celebrate the best part of gaming each year: GAMES!

Each week on Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer brings his perspective as a longtime veteran of games journalism to the table. He’s often joined by semi-regular co-host and seasoned reviewer Marc Morrison, or sometimes a guest, for conversations that dig into the entire world of interactive entertainment. The discussion naturally flows from the games they’re currently playing and reviewing into the biggest news stories shaping the industry. Every episode also carves out space for a deeper dive on a special topic, giving the analysis room to breathe beyond just the headlines. Given that games don't exist in a vacuum, the dialogue occasionally branches into related films and television shows, all filtered through a gamer's lens. This isn't a rushed recap; it's a considered chat between knowledgeable voices who have been around the block. The result is a podcast that feels like sitting in on a conversation between friends who just happen to have a wealth of experience. You’ll hear genuine opinions, informed debates, and the kind of context that only comes from years of paying close attention. Whether it's a blockbuster release or a niche indie title, the focus remains on thoughtful commentary over simple hype. Tune in for a comprehensive, yet personal, take on everything happening in gaming and the pop culture that intersects with it.
