A midweek show that’s just so good you have to wait for it! We’re back to talk about games we played this week, and we have a trio of challenging and satisfying entries for your listening pleasure. LeGrande opens with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and feels like it’s a worthy successor to the legacy of the original games and the well-received remakes. Dale digs deeper into Dark Souls II. Jeremy bucks his recent trend to pay-and-play the brand new Harmonix release, Fuser, and talks about both its liberating and disappointing mixes.

This top-of-the-week news show is set to be our most professional ever! But our bar is set pretty low, so you be the judge. After letting you in on a little of how the GameBytes sausage is made, we dig into the news. EA has a lot to announce for N7 day. Activision/Blizzard is raking in a big amount of little money. There are actually new game consoles coming out this week! Gabe spends his money on garden gnomes and space, and we talk about where we spend some of ours in the entertainment center. Plus new releases, and we anticipate big sales coming up soon for the holiday!

Intro: “The Valley of the Pagans ft Beck” – The Gorillaz
Outro: “Ichibanka” – Yakuza 7 Like a Dragon, by Shounanno Kaze & Yasutaka Nakata

The games that we played this week have a certain composition to them that makes them unique and notable, but one of these things is not like the others. LeGrande starts us with Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Dale jumps on board with Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin. Jeremy shifts gears with the demo of the new Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition and suggests that it might be the platonic ideal of the series. Have a listen and decide for yourself!

But once we get down to business, we really get down. This week, Chris Metzen’s new company, WoW Shadowlands, EA’s lootbox lawsuit and Anthem plans, Nintendo’s mini Direct, and an update on Pokemon card fortunes. Plus, we check in with new releases and freebies, and we look ahead at the “holiday window” games coming soon in 2020!
