Looking back at this equivalent post from the previous year is always amusing, but this time around it was hilarious; I really thought 2022’s amazing first quarter prospects meant we’d get a proper release date spread for videogames throughout the year!

Hey, we might even get some big Xbox exclusives again, or even an Australian Steam Deck release? We can certainly dream.
I cant’t wait for it to start gathering momentum, but until that happens, here’s a look back at all my favourite stuff from 2022:
