SupaPod Half-Ass Game of the Year Show

This is the first annual Half-Ass Game of Year show. What does it mean? Well unfortunately the boys couldn't play all the great games that came out in 2020. Not enough to do even a top 5. So they made a list of games that might have possibly made their top ten if they did a proper list. Also the Podcast definitive top game of 2020 is Announced.

Episode 314: Xbox Reverse

What a difference a few hours make. Microsoft announcing a price hike on Xbox Live to totally reversing the decision and making free to play games actually be played for free. That happened all within the same day. The boys also talk about the Resident Evil showcase and more details on Resident Evil Village. Dominic also gets his hands on Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War Zombies and Scott Pilgrim vs The World.
