Indiana Jones and the Great Circle: The Order of Giants Review (PS5)

It’s not—at least, not that I’ve found—but plenty more is. The last Nintendo-compatible version of Madden was ’13 for the Wii U, and a lot has changed since then. More than I’m able and willing to cover here. As such, this review is for people like me; football fans…

By

But as player excitement swells, the closer we get to GTA 6’s release, so does some developers’ anxiety.In an interview with MinnMax (via VGC), Ghost of Yōtei creative director Nate Fox was asked if the dev team celebrated at all when they heard about GTA 6’s delay, to which he replied: “We’re all still hungover. Multi-month hangover. That was a great day.” 125 Rapid-Fire…
