2010 has come and gone. We’ve narrowly avoided drowning in the deep sea of game releases and now we’re here to tell you which games stood out among all the chaos.

On a very special eighty-eighth episode of “Barrel Roll! A Video Game Podcast”, it’s an all-night dragon dance party. And there ain’t no party like a one-eyed dragon party, ’cause a one-eyed dragon party has historically accurate robo-samurai.

In our segment where we talk about the games we played the previous week, simply titled “video games”, Jesse and Jonah talk about the remix tour of NBA Jam, Jesse tries to get into Alan Wake and has even checked out the DSiWare title Shantae: Risky’s Revenge.

Jesse and Adam break down Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, which Adam managed to pull himself away from Minecraft for a few minutes to try out. Jonah finally started his epic western quest in Red Dead Redemption, and even had a chance to try out the multiplayer with Wes (even though he didn’t make the show).

In “Let’s Play Together”, Jonah and Jesse talk about Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes and its constant one-eyed dragon parties.

E3 is finally over. Lots of exciting announcements were made as well as some not so exciting ones, WingDamage actually had somebody providing coverage this year, and people made fools of themselves dancing in front of cameras from the future. But what of our predictions? Did any of them come true?
