This week’s episode is 50% longer as the first 20 minutes or so are devoted to the reaction to Jim Sterling’s explosive review of Hellblade and his subsequent recanting later that day. This week has no Gaming Flashback or Gaming History, but there are six news items to make up for it.
The items include:
- EA talks about Nintendo Switch support
- Rainbow Six: Siege “Operation Blood Orchid” update launches August 29
- Myth-inspired RTS Deadhold charges into Early Access later this month
- No Man’s Sky “Atlas Rises” update adds story content and “limited” online co-op
- EA says Star Wars: Battlefront “lacked long-term goals”
- Moons of Madness is Lovecraftian horror on Mars
Let us know what you think.
It’s that time in the life-cycle of the PlayStation 3 where a few of their hit titles go into “classic” game mode, which translate to a price drop. We saw this with a few games like Kameo on the Xbox 360 a year or so after the launch of the console.
If there is one time this year to pickup a PlayStation 3, it’s going ot be on October 21st when Sackboy jumps onto the scene with Little Big Planet. You don’t have to be a casual gamer to have a desire to play Little Big Planet and we’re sure to see that in upcoming reviews.
