On this week's GBN Gamescast, Courtney and Lou discussed this week’s biggest gaming news like Rainbow Six Siege getting an extended beta, Square Enix cancelling the Deus Ex Mankind Divided pre-order program, October’s PlayStation Plus lineup, Nintendo bringing back popular Amiibo, Xbox raising the party cap to 12 people, Humble Bundle’s new subscription program, Call of Duty’s horrible PR stunt, GameStop’s CEO saying disc-based gaming will never go away, and Gordon Hayward defending gaming and E-Sports to Colin Cowherd.
Console Creatures writes, "Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is a standout example of what bringing an older title to modern consoles should be."
WTMG's Kyle Nicol: "System Shock 2 is an all-time great, easily one of the most important games of all time, and Nightdive’s 25th Anniversary Remaster edition makes it a touch more accessible without ever gutting its core, or anything that made it so cherished in the first place. The excellent core gameplay and stellar level design come together for an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, the fact it works shockingly well on a controller is already something worthy of a medal of honor for the studio. Now, while we’re at it, where’s that System Shock 3 we were promised all those years ago? I’m hungry for more!"
MonsterVine: "Shuffle Tactics from Club Sandwich struggles to balance difficulty with fairness, leading to an experience more frustrating than fun, even with accessibility options turned on."
