Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games cast for Thursday, January 8th, 2026. I'm on your host, Blessing, Adioia Jr. joining me is Tim. Ma'i, Yettys. Oh, man.

Feels good to be back with a shit list. Our first of 2026. Exactly. And we have to get as many in before you leave as possible. And so we have two today. Two today. I picked out two shitless today that I think we're going to be very fun to talk about. Before we get in there, Tim, how are you doing?

How are you feeling? I'm feeling good. I've had like a cold brewing that I'm not feeling good. I feel a little tickle in the throat that I'm like trying to fight off where I'm like, I'm not sick. But am I getting there or am I going to win this fight? It's one of those things where I imagine you have a lot going on right now. And like the body is so interesting.

Yeah. Because once you see. start the, once the stress starts to hit, other things start to topple. It starts giving up. Yeah, and then you start to become more receptive to getting a cold. And so I'm sending you my energy. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. I guess spirit bomb style. I appreciate that. There you go. How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good. Yeah. It's been a chill start to the year. I think we've all had the thing of recovering from Monday where Monday hit real hard.

Real hard. I definitely have not recovered with sleep or anything from that. But God, it was so fun. I mean, it was so fun. But yeah, the Tuesday, Al was feeling it. And then Tuesday night, I forced myself to be in bed. by 10 p.m. Yeah. And even, what did I do yesterday? I feel like yesterday even. I was playing D&D yesterday. Oh.

It was my second D&D session with this group. What was your name again? Cole. Cole. Because I'm like a fire elemental kind of guy. We did our first, at least my first big battle. And when I tell you, I whooped ass. It was fucking awesome.

That's my guy. It was like one of the ones where I think I told you, right? At the end of our first session, it ended with a creature or like a rift opening up in the sky and a creature. like, you know, coming through it. Like, you see the two hands kind of rip open and tear through it. And my character, I'm a barbarian. And I roll for initiative, which means that I went first.

And I'm like, all right, what am I going to do? I'm going to go straight forward. Hell yeah. I went straight for him. I fucked them up. You started spawning little minions or whatever. I was fucking those thing up with my great acts just tearing through them. Oh, man.

D&D is really fun. I love that, man. I'm so proud of you. Thank you. Thank you. Of course, this is a show about video games. So let's talk about it. Of course, if you're watching live, you can be a part of the show

by super chatting in on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games. Remember we can do this without our producers on Patreon.com slash kind of funny. So thank you, Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney, the Somme, twining. I saw Carl in the chat right now. Oh, double shout to Carl. A triple

shout to Carl. Me and G started Beast Game Season 2 last night. And seeing Carl just pop up left and right. Always brings me so much joy. Always a delight. What a show. For now. Let's begin. What topic of the show. Tots, Tots, Tots, Tots.

Today, we're doing a shit list. That's where I go online. I find a top 10 list. I bring it back to Tim, and we judge it for your amusement. Like I said, I got two lists here. First one, more of a fun conversational one.

It is 10 games from the last decade that deserved Game of the Year, but never got it. This is written by Evan Reagan at GameRant. This is written five days ago. I wanted to pull of course, we're in Game of the Year's season. So it's really right we talk about Game of the Year, right?

I find this one to be interesting. Yeah. One of the biggest games that come to mind that deserved Game of the Year, but didn't get it. Well, what's interesting is, are we talking about the Game Awards game of the year? I imagine so, right? Like, that to me is like, all right, if that's the case, I don't know that Game of the Year has ever really missed in terms of the winner, right? interesting because I feel like when you look back like there there was a couple years that were like kind of close potentially but like tears the kingdom ballers gate three I think balder's gate is the one that deserved it yeah you know obviously I love tears the kingdom but like I get that Eldon ring one God of war beat Red Dead redemption two yep that one I could see as a good debate overwatch beat uncharted war I feel like but it was it's Overwatch deserved it in 2016 see I think over Watch deserved it. But I think this is where it gets interesting is there's obviously there's no

objective right answer to this. And so really what it comes down to I think is what are the most controversial picks, right? Or what are the most one, what are the most I guess conversational, hey, you went this way, but it really could have gone either way, right? There's a there's a sizable amount of people that have beef with this because uncharted four has that many fans. Yeah, but obviously I love naughty dog and I love Uncharted Four, but it's Uncharted Four. Yeah, but Uncharted 4 was different, though. It was. It was like a big step up.

Yeah. PS4, better graphics. But then coming from, it was a big step up, but also coming after the last of us. Yeah, I mean, I'm not hating on. Uncharted 4 was my personal game of the year that year. Yeah. But like game awards, game of the year, I think it was Overwatch. And I agree.

Going forward from that, like I don't know if I can do every single year because 2016, I don't. I can probably do it. Like 2016 Uncharted or sorry, Overwatch. Watch, yeah. 2017. Breath of the Wild. 2018, God of War.

2019, Sacro. Shadow died twice. 2020, last of us two. Oh. I feel like Hades has to be on this list. Last was two versus Hades.

Okay. I feel like that's like a go either or kind of thing. Yeah. I think retroactively, I'd probably give it to Hades. I stand with Last of Us 2. I feel I understand that people over years have like, soured on Last of Us 2.

I'm not one of those. people. I stand with it 100%. I, but yeah, 80s, come on. Final Fantasy 7 remake was that year. I was going to say seven remake. That was a huge year for video. But like, I don't put 7 remake over Last of Us 2. I do. I really like seven remake. I mean, I

fucking love something. Make. 2021. Well, 2020. Was that it takes two? That to me, I think, is the weirdest game of the year pick that's ever happened. What else was out? It was a death loop? What else was out that year? I feel like that was just one of those, because was that Ratchet and clank as well?

Yeah. Hold me go. Let's see it. It's 2021. Also, it takes two. I'll go for it. Resident Evil Village, Psychonauts 2, death loop, Ratched and Clank Rift Apart, and Metroid Dread.

That could go anyway. Yeah, I feel like that's just such a split. Like, looking at that, I think now with some space removed from all of it, I'd say Metroid Dread is my game of the year that year. But back then I said it would have been Ratched and Clank Rift Apart. Read those to me again. Resonable Village. Metroid Dread, Ratch and Clank, Death Loop, Psychonauts 2, It Takes 2.

I think it takes 2 would be my pick. Yeah. Either that or Death Loop. But I think now that we're further, I think in the moment I probably would have went Death Loop. I think now that we're further from it, it takes two, I feel the ripples of more. I think It Takes 2 has stayed in the conversation way more than Death Loop. And also, I know like, split fiction, obviously the same developer.

But at the very least, we've gotten more of that idea. We even see new games announced where it's like, oh, this is such a focused co-op local experience that probably came out of people playing it takes two or a way out or whatever other games that Hayslight has done. I love that. I mean, I think it, I love it takes two. I love Hayslight. I feel like this is awesome that it won. I do think that this is the biggest like, okay, that one here. And that's, I mean, here's the thing.

Any if a last of us of a god of war, the Zelda, if a G. If any of those tier of games comes out that year, then that game wins. Any game of the year from any of the other years that decade. Yes. If it comes out that year, it would be that game. But not to take away from it takes too. It won, dude. No one can change the fact that it won game of the year.

Split fiction wasn't nominated this last year, right? Does split fiction end up on our top 10 list? Do you think? This year, I doubt it. See? And that's like the thing. I think that's to the point. Because split fiction, I don't think it's a step down at all.

If anything, it's a step sideways. And I might even argue a step up from it takes two. I mean, that's, yeah, but like that's the complication of, one, a much stronger year with video games. And then two, like when you are a sequel, the expectations are higher. Sure, that's fair. Because I'm kind of with you there. I think there's pros and cons to each one of them of like, which I'd put over the other. But I think that overall, I would say I was disappointed with split fiction.

I still really, I think I gave it an eight and I stand by, I think it might even be on my top ten. I don't remember where, if it is, it's really low. I loved my time with it, but it's like, I'd say overall I expected more and I was disappointed. To bring in some context from the article, the first paragraph does clarify, Game of the Year is always a hotly debated topic

heading into the end of the year, which coincides with the gaming industry's award season. The biggest award show The Bunch is the aptly named the Game Awards hosted by Jeff Keely. And while these awards are still relatively new, the big prize at the end of the night. The award for Game of the Year is highly coveted. Winning this award can be a huge first studio,

giving their game a second win and putting eyes on their game and money in their pocket during the holiday season. However, there can only be one winner and every year there are many what-ifs with games that probably deserve to win Game of the Year, but didn't. So that gives me the vibe that we're talking about

the Game Awards here. So if we're going to make, I know this is probably a tough one to guess, I don't think this is ranked, So we're just guessing what are 10 games you would put on that list. I'll say I'll say Uncharted 4. Not because I agree, but. I think Uncharted 4 and Hades are and maybe even Final Fantasy.

I'll look down Final Fantasy. Yeah. Final Fantasy is not a game of the year though, man. And that's coming from like, that's coming from like, that's crazy. Number one fan. But it's just like, I don't know. I think that might have been my number one game that year. I think it was either that or Persona 5 Royal.

That's how much I love remake. There's a magic in there. Oh, there's definitely. There's like a, almost like a Disney-esque magic that just, that does something to me. Yeah. I mean, I could even, I want to say Death Loop, but I don't know what happened. What happened to the Death Loop conversation? I feel like Death Loop had such a strong conversation when it came out and when we just

forgot about it. As soon as the year ended, we just not mentioned Death Loop. Yeah, that's true. That's really true. That's really true. God of War Ragnarok lost to Eldon Ring Yeah So it's like big Sony sequels, right?

Big Sony sequels that is like they I'll write down God of War Ragnarok Because my other way of interpreting Oh Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 Or not yes too RDR2 yeah Because my way of interpreting this is What are the games that would have made it

If number one didn't come out? To choose the kingdom I think you have to put there if that's the case I agree Now is what 2023 Three. All right. Then,

2024 is an interesting one. Astrobot one. Metaphor. Refentasia. Blackmuth, Wukong. Palm Fancy 7, Rebirth. Bellotro and Eldon Ring Shadow of the Erd Tree.

I think Bellotro could have an argument. I think Bellotro could have an argument as well. As well as like, metaphor, and those one more you read in there. That, oh, rebirth. Yeah.

I'm writing down metaphor and rebirth. I think both rebirth and remake have enough negative conversation points about them that like kind of take it out of the conversation for game of the year from the game awards, which is different than an Outlet's game of the year or Pleasant's Game of the Year or Tim's game of the year. It's the tough thing of high highs and like,

I don't even want to say low lows. Just a lot of... Yeah, noticeable lows. Noticable mids. Like I wouldn't even say lows. I don't think Rebirth has many lows. It just has a lot of padding isn't even the right word because padding implies they put it in there to make the experience longer.

They put it in there because they wanted it there. Yes. But did we need it there? Yeah. It's one of those things where I think for a rebirth slash remake, but let's say you can rebirth more because I think rebirth is a bit more, you can visibly see like, oh, there's the bloat. Oh, there's the X, Y, Z thing.

I would rather take that than a game that's like perfectly designed, but doesn't hit me as hard as a rebirth. Oh, absolutely. You know, like when rebirth hits, when remake hits, oh, we're cooking. Nothing like it. Oh, there's nothing like it. I'm writing down near automata also. That might be a personal one.

Wait, near tommada, I think, is actually an excellent call for that. Yeah. Because as we're talking about remake and rebirth there, I just got, I returned to the feelings I had while playing near automata, a game that came out in the most difficult year. 2017 honestly we could probably have we can wait oh hold on let's park in 2017 for a moment Mario Odyssey yeah come on yeah yeah you know you know what I have to say something to you that like you're not gonna like but I've been thinking about this a lot and I want to be honest with

y'all and with myself and especially with you that like I don't want to put a period on the end of this statement because I do want to at some point give it another play through to make sure that I stand by what I'm saying here. Yeah. I think Odyssey is overrated. Oh, wow. And like, I'm not saying by much, but like, wow.

I think that it's gotten into this conversation of it is the greatest Mario thing ever. Yeah. And I just, I think that there's enough in it that I'm like, you know, I don't want to stand on that hill. That's crazy. I don't want to stand on the hill. And a lot of this has come from me reflecting on game reviews that I've given in the last couple years and how I feel like oftentimes it seems like I'm a lot higher rating on things than

some other people on for certain games and franchises and then sometimes I'll be like a lot lower than others and I'm trying to think like why is that and like what's it say and like how do I review games and I feel like I review games differently than most people here even where in my review as I'm given the score I'll give the context of what the score is implying am I is this a recommendation to you is this a critical review for should you get this? this or not, or is this how much fun I had with it type situation, right? Yeah. And I think that I review things more often than not, starting from the like, the feeling

you're talking about, the Disney Magic, that Final Fantasy 7, like, how many of those highs did it give me? Because I value those highs so much more than I care about the lows, but do the lows bring it down? And then the lows start chipping off the, it goes from a 10 to a 9 to go, goes down from there. And with that, I started sitting with it and be like, all right, but if I would have just be critical of things.

I think I'd be given so many games just a seven or seven point five. Or even, and I've been exercising with Mario Odyssey. I'm like really critically if I was going to be a critic about Mario Odyssey, what would I give it? And I'm like, I think my gut answer is nine.

Okay. But it's not a 10. And we talk about it like it's a 10. See, it's so funny because I feel everything, I feel most of what you're saying, especially the heart of what you're saying. The only place I disagree is Mario Odyssey being the example. I think Mario Odyssey is such a 10. But like

it's also, I'm trying to think of where, I'm trying to think of, I guess in comparison to when we talk about the best Mario games. And hear me out and again, I don't want to go too long on this because again, I, this is not like some crazy, I'm not trying to be a contrarian. I'm not trying to be crazy. Oh, for sure, for sure. There's nothing I

care about more than 3D Mario. Yeah. You know what I mean? But like when I think about Mario Odyssey, like so, like, is it a 10 critically for the argument I just made? It's It's like the amount of moons that mean nothing. And I don't need everything to mean something. Am I having fun collecting things along the way? That's totally cool.

But the amount of moons, like the jump rope stuff, I'm like, this just isn't fun. The bad guys, the bunnies, I don't like them. And when you see Voidco and Donkey Kong Bananza, I'm like, they don't need to be that much better for me to be like, I like them because I like Voidco. I'm not saying the best things ever, but like there's a difference, right?

And I think that I look at, honestly, I'm like, I actively don't like these guys. And then I think about the gameplay of those boss fights. I'm like, well, that was great. Like, I'm not complaining about the gameplay, but there is just a lot of the shit around it that kind of like gotten its way. Best movement in a Mario game, undeniably.

But I feel like the platforming challenges and all that weren't necessarily the best we've seen in the franchise. And if they were, there was also Final Fantasy 7 rebirth thing of hell high highs, then a lot of kind of just like, yeah, I'm just going through the motions here type stuff. See, I think this is the beauty of, video game reviews because to everything you're saying, right, especially

to what you're talking about as far as how you approach reviews, right? I think there's the thing of how we play games, how we take in games and what's important to us, right? Because the things that you're described about Mario Odyssey, I think you're absolutely right. I think the bunnies, who I can't even remember the names of, right?

Like, you're kind of whatever, very forgettable. There are things that on paper I can look at and be like it didn't do this, it didn't do this, like, ah, this thing was kind of whatever. But what are you nerdy about when it comes to what is making that thing hit for you? And I think for me, I couldn't care less about the bunnies.

For me, it is, which is a funny sense to say, but for me, it is like, how much of a good playground is Mario Odyssey? And Mario Odyssey is one of my favorite playgrounds in a video game. But I also understand where you're coming from, which is some of the things that really matter to you, Tim, which is presentation, packaging, right?

Like, that includes the bosses. That includes, like, you know, how you play stars or how certain platforming challenges might speak to you, like didn't hit as much for you. That, I think, is totally valid. And with that, because I want to stress this, I gave Mario Odyssey a 10. And I stand by that it's a 10

in that rating scale. I'd be saying if we're going to be very critical and, like, did it get robbed of game of the year that year? Breath of the Wild does it be a game? of the year that year. Yeah. No, you're right. You're right about that part for sure. But yeah, if Mario Odyssey comes out any other year, though, I might rock for Mario Odyssey. Yeah. But that's, it's a tough one. Hold on. And then Phil, Fuluminati super chats in saying, do you still feel like Donkey Kong Bonanza is definitely better than Odyssey, Tim? This is something that I have been misquoted on many

times recently. I never said that. What I'm saying is I would recommend Donkey Kong Bonanza over Galaxy 1 and 2 and Odyssey two new players in 2025. Yeah. I stand by that. And it's just because they've gotten so much better at getting rid of the little problems and adding on to that magic and fun.

I don't think that Donkey Kong Bonanza is a better game necessarily than those other three. I don't want to even put my answer out there because I'm not sure where I stand. I do think I prefer Binanza to Odyssey, though. I do think I stand there. Having just played through Mario Galaxy 2, Galaxy 2 has a lot

Lower lows The Donkey Combenanza does But it has way higher highs Okay So it gets complicated And I'd probably put Galaxy over it To bring in a couple more super chats here Bander S-N says

Baynetta 2 should have won 2014 Not Dragon Age I mean on the topic of 2014 I want to shout out Both Shadow of Mordor And South Park and Siketruth Which would have been my top two

For 2014 Weird year though Thank you so much for that Yeah. And then we have another super chat from the name gets cut off, but it's standard ass and then BR. I don't know what the rest of it is. Birthday tax, thanks for being such a source of nerdy love and joy, even when shitting on a list, when the world needs it most.

Thank you so much for that. And then we have one more from Yel Singh who says, time to be controversial, but Breath of the Wild, if it wasn't a Zelda title, would not be considered as good as it is. Solid eight out of 10. Here's the thing, though. Chalk it up into the fucking pile of this exact opinion that I've heard before. Here's the thing. This opinion is right.

It's a fact. However, you know what else is a fact? What's that? It is a Zelda game. So that means it comes with Zelda characters and has Zelda music and has Zelda weapons. It has Zelda ideas and bosses and play style. It's like, yeah. Because it's a Zelda game.

If you took everything that's Mario out of Mario Kart. Exactly. It's not, okay. If you just released the game called Cart, yes. You know, like that changes how people perceive it. I do disagree. as far as like, I think even if you take all the Zelda-e shit out of Breath of the Wild, I think that core gameplay loop is so fucking phenomenal.

You miss out on the magic sure of like the Zelda aspects, like the aesthetic, yes, that gameplay loop is still fucking, I think if it wasn't called Zelda, people would complain less about it. I think if it wasn't Zelda Breath of the Wild, I think a lot more of y'all would be like, this is a fucking masterpiece because they're not thinking about it as a Zelda game. I don't know. If you replace the Zelda stuff with like some other very appealing IP or whatever, or even like just not an IP, right?

you just replace it with appealing characters in the world or whatever. Y'all would be like, oh, this is the greatest game of all time. I stand by that. I think it is going to be number one or two on the majority of best video game of all time list going forward because it's a Zelda game. But that's a good thing.

They made the best use of Zelda possible. They did something amazing. They had the room to experiment and make those mistakes. Ah, it's a beautiful thing. I love these games. So we have 12 games written down here for games from the last decade. I guess the South Park's Secret Truth

and Shadow Mortar aren't from the last decade, so remove those from the list. But we still have 12 games written down for games in the last decade that could have deserved game of the year. Those games are Uncharted 4, Hades, Final Fantasy 7 remake, God of War Ragnarok, Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2,

Tears of the Kingdom, Balatro, Metaphor ReFantazio, Rebirth, Neurotomada, Mario Odyssey, and Persona 5. Tim, are you ready to hop into this list? Let's get in. Again, this is really, by Evan Reagan at GameRamp published five days ago

first up on the list and these are not ranked Red Dead Red Dead Redemption 2 Lost the God of War Yeah Yep makes sense We know how much people Adored Red Dead Redemption 2

2018 one of the toughest years Can come out in As far as that game of the year race I believe Spider-Man was also 2018 Right Marvel Spider-Man Yeah tough year I was about to bring up Spider-Man As a

Just row out there I don't think it makes this list Because I don't even think any of the years that it was nominated it or the sequel, it was even second place. Yeah. You know, but the idea of how good these Spider-Man games are, like,

ooh, somebody in chat mentioned Celeste in 2018. Now, that's a good answer. That's a good answer right there. You know what else is 2018? Smash Ultimate, right? Technically, but like that would have been in the 2019 game awards. Yeah, you're right. How that works.

Next up on the list, we got Bloodborne. Okay. That's not the last decade, though. 15. Oh, okay, I guess we're crossing over. I'll accept it. I'll accept it. 2015. Yeah. What, 2015 for game of the year, I guess we're talking about the Witcher 3, which they say here, yeah, lost the Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.

Yeah, makes sense. It makes sense. I could see going either way on this one. Looking back. Tough year also. You're talking about MGS 5 coming out that year. You're talking about Fallout 4, which I know wasn't as beloved as previous stuff, but still like it's a big hitter. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was that year as well, which a lot of people were like,

yo, this shit is fucking phenomenal. Shadow? The second Tomb Raider game. Rise, rise, thanks you. Rise of the Tomb Raider. Also shout out Rocket League. I don't think that would have been a game of the year necessarily,

but that was a big hitter as well for 2015. Next up, we got Super Mario Odyssey, like we just talked about. There you go. Again, 2017, we were also talking about games. Like, I guess Wolfenstein 2 was there. Which game of the year? a tough one to get in there, but phenomenal game.

Divinity Original Sin 2 was that year, which I know people did adore, didn't have the popularity of a Balders Gate 3, but look out for the next Divinity game. Next up on the list, we got Alan Wake 2. Yeah. That's an, I get it. You know what I mean? I understand it.

For the fans. This is one where it's one of those games. I played Allen Way 2, really enjoyed Island Way 2, but didn't enjoy it as much as the world. enjoyed it. And so, like, there's so much conversation around around like, okay. Hey, listen, I fuck with the fact that y'all fuck with it. Yeah, for sure. But I don't know. Balders Gate 3,

I think, is still, I think it clears from the amount of Ballard's Gate 3 I played. Next one, we got Hollow Night Silk Song. We didn't talk about this last year. Yeah. How do you feel about this? Losing to Clear. Here's what I'll say, last. Yeah.

Without spoiling where I landed. on this. I had a very long personal sit down with myself and I had to go back and forth this weekend or last weekend before I submitted my top 10 where I'm like

is my number one as locked as I think it is. Because the whole night's song song is that damn good. It's that damn good. I'm so fascinated by your list specifically because there's the three games that I imagine. You know my top three.

Yeah, your top three, I'll just say it out lot. You can say it. Claire Obscure, Hades 2, Silk Song. Those are my top three. I have no idea how. In that order, who knows? I don't, and that's my thing. I don't have no idea how you order it.

Even as you were talking about your Silk Song review yesterday, that gave me a little bit of hope because I'll be honest, right? Like, Hades 2 is above Silk Song in my heart. Yeah. That said, oh, shout out, Hades right? That said, you know, I was rooting for Hades too as you were talking about Silk Song, but even still like you gave it that what 9.5 9.5 which is a higher score than I gave Expedition but again

this goes back to scores and like love different things man but yeah like I silk song is up there with the expedition 33 conversation of is it my number one of the year I'm so fascinating by what your name is next up on this list though we got persona 5 lost to Zelda Breath of the Wild again I mean that's the toughest year in my because all the breath of wild is one of my favorite games ever but persona five is also one of my favorite games ever that's the game that is probably in my top 10 maybe even top five video games that i love uh i made an RPG list recently persona five was number one on that list

wow next up we got control lost to securo shadows die twice should have mentioned control yeah that's definitely one control definitely that year was a weird year too right i feel like Sekiro winning was, I think, a surprise to a lot of the mainstream, right? And I think that definitely was a one of the first major kind of lag in the dirt moments for Soulslikes, where the Bloodborn, obviously there was the original Dark Soul people that were talking. There always were. But then Bloodborn was like, though, guys, really, this is a big deal. This winning and then obviously getting to Eldon Ring being. the biggest moment.

It's like, and now it's like the most popular thing in the world. Now it's like you get, if FromSoft releases

a game that year, you kind of expect it to be in the conversation for games. Next one. Ghost of Tsushima losing to last this part too.

Interesting. I, somebody who really, really, really dug Ghostsus Shushima. This is not the one I would have picked for 2019 or 2020.

But it was very high on my list in 2020. And so, I could see it but I don't know I feel like between Hades Last's Part 2 and Final Fan 6th's 7 remake Ghost of Sushima for me is like a strong

number 4 Yeah Although I might put Ghost of Sushima above Lastest Part 2 For me those are in contention with each other I guess I can see that And then Next up if there is even more There is another one, Haiti's

Hades also I guess another one from 2020 that lost the Lassus Part 2 Yeah and then we also got Bellatro nailed it lost to Astrobat We did pretty good

Yeah we nailed this Is that everything? That is everything We did pretty good Yeah All right Of course Our game of the year

Is going down This Monday You're not gonna want to miss it But else you're not going to want to miss Our next list That we're about to do Right now After

The top 10 best licensed games based on movies. This is written by the one and only Simon Cardi. Oh, I love that. If there's one man I know that knows movies and knows video games and knows licensed video game movies, you know what I mean? It's Simon Carrey. Do you follow Simon Cardi on Instagram? Oh yeah.

Do you see his stories? Wait, you know what? Maybe not on Instagram. He posts his letterboxed reviews. Maybe this was like an end of year thing. But the rate at which this man was watching movies this holiday, I thought I watched a lot of movies this holiday. Because that's all I did during the break. Simon Cardi must have watched like 100 movies in the span of two weeks.

It's crazy how many movies I watched. He was ready for this list. He's prepping. I mean, listen, he wrote this. So this is also decently recent. This came out December 10th, right? And so this is some of that fresh shit right here. Where do we start with licensed video games?

Well, I think we have to start with Star Wars. Yes. Because what counts and what doesn't count, right? Because are we just talking about movie? Yes. Adaptations? I think it has to follow the story or be representative of like movies. So enter the Matrix doesn't count.

Because it's not the movie at all. I think the difference. because Matrix is like the movies are the thing like sure there's like other Matrix material but I feel like Star Wars is such a universe and such a you know TV shows comics

all this shit right like there's so much to Star Wars that I think you know a Lego Star Wars that's about a movie I think that counts or Star Wars episode 3 I think that counts but I think once you get into Star Wars unleashed I don't think that counts

okay well what about Star Wars Episode 1 Racer fuck honestly yes I think but I know it doesn't make sense I mean okay I kind of feel where you're

but like the characters from there are from episode one yeah but okay okay going out the logic I think that me and you are in the same page about like how we feel about it

let's just talk Star Wars okay if with the parameters that we feel like we can't do Star Wars Jedi no no Okay. I agree. Yeah. So,

I mean, episode one, Racer. Let's just put it down. Let's just put it down. I'd be surprised. I love that game. Um,

and then I think you leaning into the Lego Star Wars. Lego Star Wars. The original trilogy. Prequel, like the original, original Lego game trilogy. Gotcha. Okay.

Not the Skywalker saga. Yeah. Cool. Okay. Okay. I don't know Like Else we go

I mean Oh rogue squadron Yeah dude this gets Do we count battlefront No because battle Battlefront's Fucking Because battle

I mean those Let's move on For Star Wars We'll come back Yeah We can move on from Star Wars Let's come back later maybe Because that's really complicated

Um One I'll shout out off the bat The Warriors The Warriors Love that Love that I think that is such a Licensed movie game

Um One of one right Based off of a movie that came out decades before the game even came out. And people really love that game, including me. I fucking love that game. Spider-Man 2. Yep, for a PS2.

I agree. Golden 9. That might be number one. Absolutely. Yeah, that's a, yeah. It's getting a little weird. Sure. Very weird. They're not going to put it on the list. But Ratchett and Clank, 2016.

Because it was based on the movie. It wasn't based on the game. I could see, Simon getting cheeky and doing that. Ratch and Clang in 2016. Now, here's the thing. Speaking of getting cheeky, I guess this isn't too cheeky.

Are there other James Bond games that would make the list? I mean, I love everything or nothing. And I can see Simon, he knows Ball. I can see him, but another,

like, Simon also loves James Bond. As a Bond girl on that, like it had its own Bond song. I forget who did it, but it was like a big deal. Put everything or nothing on there. Is that based on a movie?

I was going to say, is there in everything or nothing movie? But it's using Pierce Brosden's likeness, though. Like, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't think you make it. I don't think you do it. I don't know. Um,

is there an opening blurb that might clarify this for us? Let's open it up. When I'll say, even though this, I don't think this would fit the parameters whatsoever is Hogwarts legacy. But obviously like, book series. Yeah. You know. Um, all right. Simon Cardi starts this off saying, ah, the licensed video game.

Once a collection of underwhelming retellings of big screen blockbusters littered with haunting polygonal nightmares, Hagrid, that's you, and aimless Atari attempts, yes, ET, that's you. We've seen an uptick in actually good adaptations in recent years,

with the upcoming Terminator 2D, no fate, looking like a promising attempt at turning James Cameron's classic into some enjoyable retroaction. So we thought we'd pick out the best of the bunch. We do have a few little rules, though, that stop just any old film-adjacent game from making the list.

They need to either be a direct translation or adaptation of a feature film, an official movie sequel or prequel, or a game that attempts to continue the story or provide backstory and additional canonical lore. I like that. That's really good. So I think the Matrix counts then.

Do you think it makes the list? I do, even though it's not that good of a game. One that undoubtedly makes the list. It might be very high on this list. Indiana Jones in the Great Circle. Yep. Yep, yep, yep. For some, I don't even know if a great call.

I don't even know if Simon particularly loves this game, but every British person I know loves this game. Something tells me he really loves it. Something tells me, yeah. British people love immersive Sims. I don't know what's the connection. Maybe I'll just have good taste, because I also like immersive sims.

I played Charlie's Angels on the GameCube, but I don't think it's going to make the list. Movies. Are there, what about 2D, like pixel art, retro? there was like Super Star Wars and Super Empire Super Jedi. One of those might make the list. Okay. Did you ever play Batman on N-S?

Oh, okay. 1989 Batman. I'll write that down. Did you ever play Chronicles of Riddick? Oh, Chronicles of Riddick. Yes. I never played that one, but I know people really like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

100%. I'm writing that down. That's going to be very high. We got some super chats. Kobe says we need to put respect on people. Peter Jackson's King Kong playing it on 360 was amazing. Oh, that was one of those big 360 games. I don't remember it being good though, but like maybe we put that on a list.

And then Kabob says this ratchet and clank PS4 count for the movie list. Right there with you, Kabobs. I'm writing down Peter Jackson, King Kong. I want to say I watched a video essay about it recently. And the argument was that it was underrated. The game? Yeah. Or the movie?

The game. Okay. Because I feel like recently there's been like the movies underrated, like. group of people out there oh chat avatar oh okay I could yeah yeah

that's another one that's having a big resurgence right now where everyone's loving it what's the name of that avatar game Frontiers of Pandora Yeah All right down Avatar Frontiers of Pandora I've been like trying to think about like

When the baby's here Like what is going to be my just like I only have five seconds to play a game and just like live in a world, I might hop into Avatar, baby. You do. Honestly, I'm not going to lie. I, even though I do not have a love for Avatar,

every single time I see gameplay of this game, part of me is like, maybe I should try this. I love it. This game looks beautiful for no reason. Oh, this is tough. A lot of Quest brings up Lion King on Sega Genesis. And to that I say, I respect you. No shot.

But Aladdin on the Super Nintendo. Interesting. Okay. Aladdin on the Super Nintendo. It's so funny. One of these that I played was, I believe, was Pinocchio. We'll go to Addison's house. He had a Super Nintendo while I had an N-Sty-4. And he would bust out this Pinocchio game all the time.

And we'd play from the beginning because for some reason they didn't have a save. And, like, I played so much of this dumb Pinocchio game. Aladdin's different, though. Aladdin is, like, one of those, like, kind of, like, classic games where the, they actually work with Disney animators to, like, make it look like the movie. for when Aladdin would jump and stuff. Like, there was like extra love put into it. Okay.

One that I don't, I don't think would make it. It would be the Harry Potter games. I remember playing those as a kid. Corser Stone. I don't think any of those were good though. Yeah. Everyone played them.

They were good for like, I guess kids games or whatever. Or like, I guess this licensed games in general. But when I say good, I mean like, okay. They got the job done for me as a child.

Yeah. There was an Iron Man game that sucked. I feel like we're missing. made by Sega. Let me check in with the super chats again. Yeah, I mean, JJ J.J. Baseball says Star Wars episode three has to be there. Let's put episode three on the list. I'll write it down.

Like that's one where I know there's a lot of conversation about the game. Oh, Snave and Shake. Lord of the Rings, two towers. Okay. That thing was a way of the years and shit back then. Honestly, we're starting to make a very sizable list here. Yeah. Lord of the Rings.

Okay. Okay. Lugati, X-Men Origins, Wolverine. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. This is coming together.

And then the real Garate brings up a good point. The Transformers games were pretty good. And the thing about that is what's interesting, you might not know of less. There were three Transformers games during the High Moon Studios era where it was War for Cybertron, ball of Cybertron. But then the third game was a weird crossover between the Transformers movie. characters and those game characters. And the game was fun. It just wasn't that good compared to the others.

I don't think it makes the list. But I remember those being somewhat of a big deal when they launched. I didn't know that was the story. That's kind of crazy. I mean, the first two were awesome. Yeah. But the third one, it really was kind of cash-grabby. In the same way, Prince of Persia,

based on the movie, was cash-grabby. Alien isolation. Is that based? Can we say this based on a movie? Yeah, you know what? Yeah, that counts. Honestly, this might be a more competitive list than we're giving you credit for. Because so far, we have here, GoldenEye and Dana Jones, the Great Circle, Chronicles of Riddick, The Warriors, Lord of the Rings, Two, X-Men origins, Wolverine, Lego, Star Wars, Episode 1, Episode 1, Episode 1, Episode 1, Episode 1, Episode 2, Alien Islequin and Clarend, 2, Avatar, Ratched and Clang, 2016, Enter the Matrix.

Did they write that twice? No, I didn't. Batman, Peter Jackson's King Kong, Aladdin, and Star Wars Episode 3. Rammer Man brings up Ghostbusters, the video game, that was Ghostbusters 3. Is that the one Greg likes a lot? Yeah. I mean, that's, that is like, not the ones he's been playing recently. That was like, actually, they got Bill Murray. They got the cast.

That was literally a, no, no, no, no, no, on PS3. Oh. They got the cast of the movies back for like a sequel. Oh, that's pretty sick. Okay. What was it called? Just Ghostbusters? Ghostbusters is the video game.

The video game. All right. Is there anything missing? I'm feeling pretty good about this. A lot of people in the chat are bringing up, like, a lot of things that are like TV shows, not movies. Oh, yeah. I mean, I see one person bringing up Friday the 13th.

Which shout out. I think, here's the thing. Let's get in the list. Let's see what the list is. I think the games we have are so strong. We have 19 games written down here. And I think 10 of them, you can make the case of like, oh, these are actually good video games separate from the license.

And then some are just there. And then some are just there. But we'll get into it. Again, this is IGN. This was written by the one and only Simon Cardi. Let's get into it with number 10, Peter Jackson's King Kong, the official game of the movie.

Wow. Z. Johnson says, need y'all to be more serious about what's actually good and what's classic fun. And that's always, it's a weird balance, right? Where it's like, yeah,

there is the, are these actually good or not? And then there is the kind of a different version of the Zelda argument we're making of like, yeah, the brand and IP is kind of what makes it fun and like the nostalgia of it also. Because of these names.

Or it did something weird and goofy. But I think there's, when I look at the list that we have jumping out of the IGN list, looking at the ones we have, right? Gold and I will be on the list. Indian and Jones, the Great Circle, will be on the list. These are the games I'm saying

are fucking good, right? Chronicles of Riddick will be on the list. The Warriors, I am, has a really good change of being on the list. I'd want it to be on the list. Lord of the Rings, two towers, I assume will be on the list. X-Men, origin,

Wolverine will be on the list. Lego Star Wars? The Star Wars of it all is like, I think the big... There will be a Star Wars game on the list. I have no idea which one it will be, but there will be one. And then, oh, Spider-Man 2, PS2 will be on the list. And that's like, we just listed nine games right there. And then a 10th one.

I'm not sure what the 10th one will be, but those games you just mentioned, fantastic. So, number nine, we got Scarface. The world is yours. You ever play this one? I didn't, like I, I, I've still never seen Scarface, so I had no interest in it, but this was a big deal. Yeah, this was one that Addison landed to me, uh, got home, put it on. I, I didn't like this game, but it's like, it was such a, uh, GTA Vice City ripoff.

Yeah. That like, like, even as a young kid, I recognized it. I was like, why would I play this when I could just play Vice City? I can just play Vice City. But shout out to Scarface. The world is yours, I guess. Coming in at number eight, we got. rock stars the Warriors

come on oh I can't say it gets it dude I can't say enough good things about this list I mean back to where Simon's talking about games that added more story

to the movie the Warriors was a prequel to the movie the war the video game is actually why I watched the video games will put

a generation on to the movie yeah I would have never watched the Warriors if I didn't play this video game and the game was fun as hell

great beat them up style gameplay you pick up hell of weapons add really fun co-op multiplayer you're going around you're like

fucking up breaking into cars stealing shit. So good. Coming in at number seven, we got Mad Max. Oh, wow. What a mistake on our part for not bringing that up. Simon Cardi shouted to you.

Yeah, you did the homework, man. Look at his letterboxes. Pop it off. This is one that I've always low-key wanted to play, but not enough to where I've made time for it, but enough to where I'm like, one day, I will boot up Mad Max. When we did in review for Mad Max last year,

and it was my first time watching those movies. I was, like, so enamored by it that I wanted to play it. I ended up not playing it. I just watched a bunch of reviews of it. Yeah. And I felt like I got the experience. This is one of those games. I should just buy it and have it downloaded just for one day.

Whenever you're like, yes. One day I will come home drunk. You know what I mean? Runs perfect on Steam decks. That's Chuntu D2. Oh, that's good. That's good.

Yeah, one day I'm going to come home drunk. Like, it'll be like 8 p.m. or whatever. Just got back from somebody's party or whatever. And I'm like, oh what do I want to do you know I don't have a care in the world that's when I'm going to play Mad Max I love it that's what I'm going to boot it up story or not story but next one number six on the list Spider Man 2 for PS2 yep yep yep we all know it I might make the argument top three right here I might definitely this was a game

Tim can I tell you something really nerds do um back in fifth grade I think fourth grade actually we used to do show and tell like every week. It would be, it would hop between students. So one student every Friday would bring stuff from home and like show them off and be like, hey, these are my favorite things or whatever. This is something I want to show off from my home. I brought Spider-Man 2 for PS2. That's how much I love that game.

That's awesome. It brought Spider-Man too and I don't remember a single other thing that I brought. That's all I remember because that's how much I valued that game and wanted to show it off. God bless Spider-Man too. Listen, I was born to be to be somebody to podcast about video games. Story number five, or not story number five, number five on the list

Star Wars Jedi Survivor I don't know Simon Boo Based off the movie No Hold on What are the bullet points A direct translation or adaptation

Of a feature film An official movie sequel or prequel Or a game that attempts to continue the story Or provide backstory in additional canonical lore So I guess it I mean yeah you can make it fit if you want to But it's like

This doesn't count Ah, yeah. Because I feel like it's, okay, here they are bridging the gap between Revenge of the Sith and a new hope. It's like that's being very, very lenient with bridging the gap. There's a 10-year gap there. I mean. No, there's a, yeah, 10-year gap. He who shall not be named showed up, you know, helps bridge the gap.

17-year gap. Too much of a gap. Yeah, too much of a gap. This definitely shouldn't count. Coming in at number four, we got Golden-Eyrege of a gap. 007. Yep. Which, again, another one that

arguably top three, but I get the idea, though, of it not aging well as far as gameplay. Over time, you know, there are games that are way more fun to go back to. But like the thing with that,

we just played Golden Eye during the stream a couple days ago. And like, I'm not arguing it aged well. It didn't. But I will just make the argument that if you just play the game as it is, there's a lot of fun there.

There's a moment it clicked for me where I'm like, oh, these whack-ass controls that we used to love, I'm understanding what they're asking me to do. And it's great. The problem is like a first-person shooter, we know what that's supposed to feel like. And it is like not that at all. Yeah.

It's like that is a very obtuse, wrong version of it all. But it's like, if you don't think about it as a first-person shooter, and you just think about it as golden line. Yeah. It's still fun there. Listen, I, I've been talking about my, in log 3D, I have on

their 007, or I have a cartridge of 007, the world is not enough that I've been messing around with a lot, especially over holiday. And I think sometimes we overstate how badly NIC4 games age. A lot of them do age badly.

Most of them age badly. But to your point, 007 is not impossible to go back to you. Mario 64, like a lot of the best N64 games are not... Very different conversations there. But I'll lump them both into the thing of

But they're not that bad to go back to. I think GoldenEy's a lot worse to go back to the Mario 64 is. I agree, but yes. Yeah. I also think, though, that if we were playing with N64 controllers, I think it would change everything. It's that we're playing with a controller that we know what a shooter should feel like. When you're playing with just one stick. Listen, you left and right.

You just got to change your brain a little bit. But when you do that with two sticks, you're like, what's happening here? Use the C buttons to strafe. You'll figure it out. You'll get used to it. Number three, we got. Oh, wait, actually, we have, is this an honorable mention?

I think this is an honorable mention. It has a segment here that's called Games Better Than the Film. It put X-Men Origins Wolverine. Good. That's a great honorable mention. Oh, fantastic, honorable. I would have expected this to be on the list, though.

But, like, definitely, the game's not that good. It's not actually that good. Okay. Yeah. I mean, the world is convinced me that this game is like a 9-9-0. It's a 7 out of 10, but it's like the movie was so,

bad. Yeah. And like, it was a swimming in seven. It's like, you know, there's hell of fun here. Okay.

But it's not a night outside. Fair enough. And number three, we got Chronicles of Riddick escape from Butcher Bay. Hell yeah. Yeah, man.

Now, what do we think is in the top two? Indiana Jones in the Great Circle? I mean, yeah, Chronicles of Riddick not being that, top three is very high. But like, I would say that's...

I would think Indiana Jones and the Lord of the Rings? Yeah. That sounds like, knowing Simon Cardi? Yeah. That sounds right. Now, which Lord of the Rings is it going to be? If they're playing fast and loose with this, maybe it is like a Shadow of Mordor or some stuff.

I mean, it could be. The fact that Jaya Survivors on the list, but I guess which would we say is better between Shadow Mordor and the two towers? Or what do people have, I guess, more like nostalgia for? I mean, I don't know. That's tough because we're talking about PS2 versus different eras. Like, it's, there's like a level of conversation different. where it's like games just evolved a lot past PS2. My only thing.

It's like comparing like a GTA by city versus or San Andreas versus GTA 5. Yeah. You know. I think my only thing is that looking at this list, I love Shadow Mortar, right? I'll fuck with Shadow Mortar. I think that game is fucking fantastic. The Nemesis System iconic, all that. We're not putting that game above Star Wars Jedi Survivor, are we?

Spired me into Golden Eye? I feel like we're stretching a little bit. If we're putting it that high Maybe there's no load of the rings Actually hold on, no, let me talk to them. Let me have a conversation With myself. Yeah. Because I'd even finish Jedi Survivor. I thought that game was cool But I wasn't like in love with it.

Maybe I would put Shadow of Mortar above Jedi Survivor. God, Survivor's so good. I'm gonna say Shadow Mortar. Because we solve alien, isolation. Fuck, you're, but like it's IGN. You know? You're right, you're right. But it's Simon Cardi. But it is Simon Cardi. Man of taste. Try to fix the reputation.

Lord of the Rings are books I mean Why not? All right Coming in And number two We got Alien isolation

All right So it's Indy So no Lord of the Rings Which I don't think is that crazy Because the Renowned Lord of the Rings games Like aren't really film adaptations And I feel like

The renowned ones from the PS2 era I don't think that they have Spider-Man took that slot. Okay. I think of like, yo, this era of games

where it's like, this one's actually good even though it's based on a movie. Like, you don't need to give too many slots to those. Yeah. I'm just, well,

I guess no, I'm going through the list. I guess if Shadow of Mortor made it on the list, it'd probably be lower because I'm looking at games like the Warriors. Again,

these are mad max, you know? Like these are kind of like fan favorites slash if you know, you know, type of things. I could see you kicking off a Scarface

for Shadow Mordor, but okay, I guess I get it. So then at number one, that means we got Indiana Jones in the Great Circle. Yeah. Did you ever play this one? I played the preview event with you

and that was enough for me to be like, is it for me? Yeah. Such a weird, interesting, yet inspired video game where I totally understand you or anybody else, in fact, me to some extent, being like, ah, this isn't for me. I played enough with this game to be like,

damn, this is a very inspired take on Indiana Jones that I am not having that much fun with, and so I'm going to put this down. But I highly, highly respect this game. I think this game does a lot of cool shit. James Burke, this is the best game ever made. Best game ever made. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, he platinumed it.

He is such an interesting man. He is. He also loves Indiana Jones. Oh, okay. Yeah, because he also platinum last of us, right? Oh, both. Or he's sped running. He speed runs last one. But he also platinum, Hitties 1, 2, Hollow Night and Hollenite Silk Song all in the course

of the last couple months. And I love to use like Indiana Jones. That's the greatest thing I've ever made. That's hilarious. Tim, what do you think? Do you think this list is the shit or do you think it's shit? This is a hard one. I give it at least one thumbs up.

I'm debating giving it the two. but I'm going to not do that because Jedi Survivor rubs me the wrong way I I think it's fine I think it's a fine list I'm not mad at it Simon Cardi

I will say that I'm impressed at I forgot who the commenter was earlier that was calling out the actual quality of the games first nostalgia I think that this is a very good list of like trying to air on the side of quality games oh I agree with that yeah

yeah I mean I here's the thing I do like is the D cuts, right? I think getting in Scarface in there, like I mentioned, getting in the Warriors, getting in Bad Max. You made this list in a way that I think will speak to people who want to reminisce about licensed games that spoke to them in a very unique way.

I think there was a boring way to make this list that you could have gone with, especially since you had Star Wars Jedi Survivor on here. This could have been a whole another list. I think that this is a well-designed list for what he was trying to do. I just think that what that headline is

isn't necessarily what we went in thinking it was going to be. Sure. Fair enough. I'll give this. I'll give this a light thumbs up. Yeah. Very light thumbs up. We're on thin ice Simon. Watch out. Before we get out of here, I want to read a couple more super chats. Kobe

writes in and says, might have missed it, but AVP question mark. I guess that's just this chat. Oh, Alien versus Predators. I see what you're saying. Or no. Yeah. There's alien isolation and predator hunting grass. There was an AVP game. Oh, there was. Yeah, I don't think it was good though, but it was iconic.

People fucking loved it. Oh. That's because we were kids. You know what you mean? I don't remember that one. There was nothing cooler than aliens versus predators. Uh, regular garm, no, regular game guys, I see. Uh, says Matrix, Path of Neo.

That was not one that I, I got into. Oh, that, that was like the, that's the MMO, like, Star Wars galaxies, people lost their lives to Patho. Oh. And of the Matrix was that on GameCube? that was a yeah like that generation yeah I remember playing that at my friend Caleb's house and I was hooked on it like he had a GameCube at his place he had that game

I put it in and like I forget what they were doing I think they were just busy like doing something and like hanging out in the living room or whatever I was just in his bedroom playing this game for I don't know how long I just remember being mesmerized by it shout out enter the Matrix I need to go back and play more of that game

yeah maybe and then one more from Cortez here who says Star Wars Jedi is canon and the Star Wars world. They say that with a bunch of exclamation points. We know. Large Hopg gamer says no Tim, it's a single player game.

Interesting. The large hog gamer? Yeah. Which one? I guess I'm on Matrix Online is the one I was thinking of. Oh. Is Path of Neal the one I'm thinking of? Matrix Path of Neal. This one came out. I mean this one was also PS2, Xbox.

I mean it doesn't say GameCube so this probably wasn't the one I'm thinking of so it probably wasn't to the Matrix oh yeah Tim thank you so much for joining me on this journey hopefully we're able to get in at least
