What's up everybody welcome to Ijin Game Scoop. I'm your host Damon Hatfield joining me this week here in our LA studio is Matt Kim.

remotely we've got Sam Playborn and Justin Davis.

Scoop up back Damon. Thank you thank you for hosting in my stead last week it sounds like everything went swimmingly.

I myself was in Hawaii where everything was going swimmingly for me.

Good to be back. We got a great show for you this week. We'll talk about we know

said we're halfway through the year so I'll be sharing my Damie halfies my picks of the best

stuff I've played and watched so far this year and there's a very funny news story this week we

I wanted to discuss about how Sega was confident it was going to kill Sony back in the 90s.

I think we all know how that turned out but first let's find the check-in with Game of the Year watch

sputter and then then then then then then then then then we'll add those in post as always.

Game of the Year watch halfway through 2023. Ijin has given out four 10 out of 10s this year.

Tears of the kingdom of course. Reserville four and then dead cells are turned to Castlevania and

Metroid Prime remastered. I think we could price. Yeah you did that with him all this year.

I think we can safely let dead cells and Metroid Prime remastered go have a seat. I don't think

we can keep them up on stage but I think Tears of the Kingdom and Reserville four will both be in

the discussion come years in. When we open up to the 9 out 10s it's a much larger group. They

include Dave the diver a game I had never heard of until I put this list together but it's an

underwater pixel RPG that looks pretty cool. We gave it a 9 out of 10. Then of course,

Final Fantasy 16 system shock the remake of system shock Diablo IV Street Fighter 6 humanity

which I'm glad to hear I missed their view but I'm that game looks very very good. That's mostly

game puzzle people hurting game that got a 9 out of 10. Star Wars Jedi survivor. MLB the show 23
