Game of the year is up for grabs! Out of the six nominee’s Dan goes for…. we’re not going to tell you! Log in! The world is going digital—forget about the traditional courting rituals like eating out at a restaurant for your first date. Why not test the strength of a pre-marriage commitment with the game It Takes Two—"it’s either going to make or break your relationship over the puzzles." Not sure what gift you should get for the gamer in your life? The top six nominee’s: Deathloop, It Takes Two, Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart and Resident Evil Village are absolute stocking stuffers! The Video Game Awards have become the new Oscar’s for voiceover actors. Move over animation, TV and Film because Far Cry 6’s Giancarlo Esposito performance takes the 1-up mushroom! Video games continue to be a major driving force behind the rise of Esports with a revenue stream greater than movie and music industries combined. 2019 League of Legends had more viewers than the Super Bowl! OK Zuckerberg we’re on to you! There’s always been a Metaverse! Remember a game called Second Life? “You can go meta upon meta” — GAMING INVENTED META!
