With the last month, when I wasn’t helping my wife with our new farm (We have ducks and chickens now), I was playing Yakuza… A lot of Yakuza. Finishing Yakuza Kiwami, Kiwami 2, Yakuza 3, Yakuza 4, and now on to Yakuza 5. This series have it’s claws into me deep, and I couldn’t be happier. Why hasn’t someone made this series into a movie franchise yet?!

It’s E3 time again, and just like last year, it’s kind of all over the place, so I explain what E3 means to me, my memories of the event and I cover a game that I judged too early, and missed out on a experience that was more than “just another zombie game” until it came to the PC a few weeks ago.

Traveling a bunch this last month allowed me to get in a lot more comic and actually book reading, but I did play a few games as well. Some classic emulated games on VR and a new Gamepass game that I’d highly recommend.

With a little better setup than last time, and a temp mic, I was able to get some recording done to talk about my favorite games this year. With another bad year in gaming history, at least I was able to find some games that were totally worth playing and quite a few of them were rad. Here is my list of my top 10 games of the year for 2020.

With recording and gaming equipment in several different locations across the country, I have to resort to a crappy headset mic to record the podcast on, so I apologize for the quality in advance. I haven’t played many games lately, but I did at least completed Miles Morales on my PS4 and played a bit of both WatchDogs Legion and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla on Amazon’s Luna streaming service and my normal gaming PC.

As a wise wallaby once said “Moving day can be a very stressful day”. We are moving across the country, headed towards Tennessee and gaming takes a literal backseat for a bit in my life. In those small amounts of free times, I do get to play a bit and I finally completed some really enjoyable games… and some not so great.

As The Go-Go’s said, Vacation was all that I ever wanted, so I finally took one. I didn’t get much accomplished in the last month or so, but I was able to finish a second playthrouh of Control, and experienced the DLC featuring everyone’s favorite Stephen King stand-in, Alan Wake. Plus transported myself back to 1999 again to play through the Tony Hawk Remake game.

Gamepass aided me in being able to blast through a few new games that might have been smaller in size, but made up for with interesting stories and gameplay that veered off a bit of what I normally play
