Game Time With Manny

In this episode we chat a lot about the leaks and rumors leading up to E3, while throwing in some spicy announcements people threw out over the past few weeks. After talking about the games we've been playing we take a look back at the past 6 months and see how good 2019 has been for games so far. It's like a 6 month review.

In this episode of Project Top 10 I change things up a little. Instead of doing discussing another top ten video games of all time list I chat with Noukeo about his top ten favorite games of 2018. He used to be on my regular game of the year podcast, but this past summer he moved away. In order to continue our yearly tradition we recorded this podcast!

We begin by chatting about our 2019 gaming goals before transitioning into news. Some exciting things happened like Bungie Splitting from Activision and more games coming to the Epic store.

This year Matt and I decided to amp up the Game of the Year stuff and start doing categories as well. This will be in addition to our regular Game of the Year podcast that goes up in a few days. For this one we keep the regular format, but then transition into talking about ten categories and giving our top three games in each. We do our best to warn about spoilers.

We finally hit the sweet spot of just around 2 hours I've been hoping for. It has been a relatively slow couple of weeks as far as news goes. However, we both played a bunch of stuff.

After some time away I have returned with another episode of Project Top 10. This time I speak with my friend Gary who had some interesting choices for his top 10 games of all time. I did a poor job of guessing as usual, because I probably could have guessed at least one of them! Join us as we count down his games from 10 to 1!

This episode got away from us a little and comes in at just under three hours. I am shooting for these to be 1-2 hours long, but we seem to keep going longer and longer. I promise the next one will be shorter. In our defense there was a ton of news and we got caught up in The Game Awards nominations for a bit.

We then transition into what we've been playing like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Season 2 of Telltale's Batman game, the Missing and Delta Rune. For Part 2 we sort of just talk about Pokemon as a retrospective on the series as a whole.
