It's the end of the year and the Beat of the Month crew are reflecting on all of the games we played in 2021. The best games we played, the worst games we played, the most over hyped games, games we really wanted to play but didn't get around to...and more! We cover the heavy hitters that you would expect - Halo Infinite, Ratchet and Clank, Metroid Dread, Deathloop. We've also got a ton of additional games we talk about (which may or may not have come out in 2021). As 2021 rounds to a close we hope you join us!

61: Best DLC Ever

The Beat of the Month crew continue to explore the depths of DLC and unanimously decide upon the greatest DLC of all time. Did your favorite make the cut? And before we get into the deliberations, we discuss what makes DLC good in general. Is DLC better if it's integrated into the main game, or is a stand alone experience better? Should DLC continue where the main game left off in terms of difficulty or ease the player back into the swing of things? We then round things up with some DLC trivia. How many dlc songs have been released for Rock Band? Probably more than you think!

We play a variety of games such as some Witcher 3 DLC, Titanfall 2 campaign, Diablo 3, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and more! We round things out with some trivia featuring games that sold 10 million or more copies.
