Join Aaron, Nave, Tommy, Thrak, Nomad, and Nick as they spend 2025 drafting their perfect teams of games they think will score the best upon release, chat about upcoming games that they're looking forward to, and talk like babies for 10 minutes straight.

No matter who wins... society is doomed.

• Scores are based on the average Metacritic review score of each game in each participant's team. 
• As games are released, we will provide weekly updates for each new release date, score update, and more. 
• Each participant gets only two trades. You cannot trade for a game that has been released.

--Thrak: Trailing behind in fourth place, Thrak nails two big scores with Pirate Yakuza and Two Point Museum. We also get a release date for Revenge of the Savage Planet.
--Aaron: In fifth place, Trails Through Daybreak releases to a 77. POSSIBLE TRADE INCOMING.

He was able to use his trades to swap Replaced for Metal Gear Solid Delta and Wuchang for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4. He now has no more trades!
