The advent of digital gaming has been a great convenience and has opened up so many different avenues for gaming to thrive, especially when it comes to indie games. However, this also means that entire stores can be shut down once the console's lifecycle has ended. Such is the case for the Xbox 360 digital store, leaving around 220 games that are now no longer playable at all that are digital only. Not to mention, the games that will now shoot up in price because the only way to buy them is physically. With that in mind, Sean and Marc shout out their Top 15 Xbox 360 Games.

Also, in more current gaming news, Microsoft is considering even more Xbox Game Pass tiers, including the dreaded ad-based tier. Is this a reality sooner than we think? And how far could they potentially take it?

Plus, Sean has played more EA College Football 25, Concord won't have a battle pass, Capcom wants to make Megaman games more regularly, STALKER 2 has been delayed again, SAG-AFTRA Video Game voice actors strike, and more!

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.
