The top 10 games of 2023 — for all four Besties!

Plus, links to the episodes for each game!

No episode this week, so why not revisit the archive?

How’s your holiday been? Get any good presents? Eat a few favorite foods? Play a debatably unhealthy amount of video games? Hopefully all of the above!

We take off the final Friday of each year to spend extra time with our families. So, the bad news is we don’t have a new episode to share. However, there’s good news, too. We’ve collected our top 10 lists and linked each game to it’s episode from 2023.

If you’ve missed any episodes this year, here’s your chance to catch up! The holidays aren’t over yet, so crack open the egg nog and grab a plate of pickle surprises. It’s time to talk video games!

Like the show? Leave a review! (Thank you to everyone who left such kind reviews this week!)
