Hey, everybody, welcome back to the Game Informer Show, a weekly podcast covering the video game

industry.

Join us every Friday for discussion of the latest gaming news, reviews, and exclusive

reveals alongside Game Informer staff and special guests from around the industry.

We've got a bit of a different episode this week for you. I'm one of your hosts today, Alex Van Aiken,

and we are going to be diving into our top 10 games of 2025. If you listen to our Thanksgiving episode,

similar format here, we're going to be individual editors from Game Informer sat down to record their top 10 games.

They want to share it here with our podcast audience.

So we're going to be going one at a time.

We'll start each of us with our 10th favorite game and go down to our number one favorite pick. And I hope this episode is a great way for you to, you know, figure out something new to play. The holidays are obviously here. Whether you're celebrating or not, I think that this episode will be a great way for you to get some recommendations for things to add to your wish list, for things to check out.

If you do have a break for the holidays, or, you know, maybe it's just sometimes nice to see that other people like the thing that you like.

So that's what this is.
