On this episode of The MinnMax show podcast, we welcome Game Informer and Giant Bomb alumn Dan Ryckert back to the world of video game podcasts as we choose our favorite game for each year of the last decade. 2000-2009 is an incredible stretch in the game industry, with technology going from Perfect Dark to Uncharted 2. We also debate the #1 greatest game of the decade, talking about the merits of Super Mario Galaxy and a couple of Metal Gear Solid games. Then we open up the Minnbox and award the iam8bit question of the week!
