On this big episode of The MinnMax Show, Ben Hanson is joined by Janet Garcia, Jacob Geller, Kyle Hilliard, Kelsey Lewin, Jeff Marchiafava, Haley MacLean, and Sarah Podzorski to celebrate the year of gaming in 2023. We nominate, debate, and finalize winners for the categories of Best Thing, Dumbest Thing, Biggest News, The Game We All Agree Is Probably Good But We Didn't Play, Best Character, Best Moment, and The Greatest Work Of Art Of All Time... for 2023. If you enjoy this episode, please tell a friend or help share it online! MinnMax's Game of the Year debates will continue for the next two weeks, as we build out and chop down a list of our favorite games this year.
