In Other News – 09 December 2016

There’s…there’s blood everywhere again. Yessir, it’s that time of the year again where everyone in the office has begun voting for the best games of the year. So far, we’ve shoved Alessandro out of a window for suggesting that The Witness should win best multiplayer shooter, Matty is running around with Nerf guns yelling DIE! DIE! DIE! and I’ve put together a Pillow Fortress of Solitude so that I can finally get Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance the love that it deserves.

This is a weekend, that’ll end in fire and blood. Mark my words.

In Other News: China has your loot drop box, Vivendi gobbles up more of Ubisoft and the best tribute to racing games that you’ll see all weekend.

Here’s the news that we didn’t post today, because I was too busy defending the Pillow Fortress of Solitude by hurling leftover flaming review copies of X-men: Destiny at Geoff.
