    Instead of personally compiling everything that was announced and shown off, the lovely PR company that sent me an email today did all the work for me! They have compiled a couple of lists for you to check out...

    Everything we know so far about F1 22


    The latest F1 season is well underway and it’s been an exciting year with Red Bull and Ferrari fighting for both championships. It would be a mistake to write off Mercedes this early too — we’re only a few races into this season, and it looks like they’ve made a lot of progress with their car and are ready to start fighting at the front again. If watching the action on the track isn’t enough, then perhaps the new F1 game from EA will fulfill your needs....

  • How Many Games Did You Complete in 2025?
    by Shawn Zipay
    Make up your own definition of "complete."

    Was 2025 a big year for game completions for you, or were you more of a "stick to one never-ending, live-service game for the entire year" sort of player?

    For this, you can take whatever definition you want as a game "completion." Beat the main story? Earned 100% of the game's achievements? Or simply played enough that you're satisfied with what you accomplished and have no plans to return any time...
    I did not complete any game in 2025

    I completed up to 10 games
