Let’s try something new! Instead of talking about a game they played together, Chris and Jake provide an update on all the news that’s happening in the game industry. They discuss the leaks at Nintendo and Sony, new game announcements like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2 and the Mafia Trilogy remaster, and the announcement trailer for Unreal Engine 5.For more information, check out www.casualcriticspodcast.com.Music is Perfect Stranger by stellarartwars (c) copyright 2014 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/stellarartwars/45510 Ft: TheDice
