On this special episode of Video Games 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer and Marc Morrison are joined by fellow W2Mnet.com staff members Daniel Anderson and Wes Harrington, as they debate, discuss and decide on the Top 25 Games of 2017. Using a list of over 47 Games, as voted on by the full staff, they whittle it all down to 25 Games, and then rank them in order.

* Editor's Note: We realized after recording that due to a mistake with not putting it into that vote tier list that's below, (which it's there now post recording,) when we recorded no one mentioned Destiny 2. That was a mistake and have made changes to our final ranked list off podcast including it at #18 and removing Evil Within 2 off the list completely. *
