Everything We Loved from Summer Game Fest

About this episode

The hosts discuss their favorite upcoming releases from the Summer Game Fest and share their hands-on experiences with various games.

We watched all of the Summer Game Festival events and curated the upcoming releases that we think you’ll enjoy! Plus, Frushtick and Plante attended SGF Play Days in Los Angeles and went hands-on with tons of games, from the new Tomb Raider to Stranger Than Heaven. Was this episode recorded alongside Nintendo’s big announcement? Were we struggling to retain control of our brains? Yes and yes.
