The Jimquisition Game Of The Year Awards 2022

It's that time again! Time for The Jimquisition Awards, where we pick five games that exemplify something good about an industry we spent most of the year dumping all over. We're doing proper ones this year, too.   

The main question is this... will I dare to put Vampire Survivors on the list?

Microsoft's Little Pity Party (The Jimquisition)

Microsoft feels pretty sorry for itself lately, and it wants you to sympathize. As Phil Spencer chats nonsense regarding $70 games and Sony's reaction to the planned acquisition of Activision Blizzard, let's revel in the self pity.

Pokémon 2077 (The Jimquisition)

Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is a bad game with terrible performance and a litany of broken bugs. That's not stopped it from selling 10 million copies in three days and enjoying massive amounts of praise. Yet when Cyberpunk 2077 had an identically rocky launch, the story was very different...

The Callisto Protocol - Sad Space (Review)

I was really looking forward to The Callisto Protocol, even when reviews started to paint an unfavorable portrait. Not a single critique could have prepared me for how goddamn bad this horrible mockery of Dead Space is, however. Holy crap!

Don't Even JOKE About Easy Modes In Dark Souls! (The Jimquisition)

The terrible topic of easy modes in Dark Souls rears its vile head once more. It's not my fault, though! I've learned that the topic is so touchy, you can't even joke about it. Not without some ludicrous consequences.

A Video About The Doom Eternal Controversy (The Jimquisition)

So much for what I wanted to talk about. Gotta talk about more scumbags in the videogame workplace. This time, a story about Doom Eternal, a stressed composer, and a bitter feud with an executive producer.

Sonic Frontiers - A Load Of Blue Balls (Review)

My harshest review since returning to written criticism, the totality with which Sonic Frontiers destroyed my goodwill is practically a landmark moment. I went from faint praise and hopefulness to hating this game with an abject passion. It's just so inexcusably bad, cheap, and broken.

Modern Warfare II, PR As Journalism, And Consensual Plagiarism (The Jimquisition)

How An Ex-Bayonetta Actor Torpedoed Her Reputation In Record Time (The Jimquisition)

Hellena Taylor's story simply will not end, as she's gone from hero to villain so quickly we've barely had time to breathe. In what SHOULD be the last video on the Bayonetta 3 saga, let's see how Taylor definitively tanked all her sympathy.   

Spoiler: being an anti-abortion TERF didn't help her case!
