It's our end of year celebration and this time we've got a massive show! First, we kick things off with a trivia segment that has some big stakes. Then we get into our annual awards show with a variety of topics including what was the most shameful thing The Beats Crew has done in 2025.

After that, we get into individual picks for our top 5 games of the year, followed by a dive into the stats of all the games we played as shared by Sony (what gives Microsoft and Nintendo - no year in review?) and also stats that we logged ourselves. As if that weren't enough, we also cover the results of our Fantasy Critic video game fantasy draft league and announce the big winner for 2025. Wait, still more?? Lastly we choose the 10 games that define The Beat of the Month podcast for a nice bookend down memory lane. Wow - it's a lot of content!

It's been a fun 2025 and we are looking forward to more episodes in 2026. Stay tuned for our 2026 fantasy draft where we'll be taking a look at all the games coming out next year and picking our roster that we think will review well (and hopefully keep on track for release!). If YOU have any ideas for a topic we should tackle for 2026, please send us an email at beatofthemonth@gmail.com. We'd love to hear from you!
