TGI 603 – Don’t Buy It Ryan
We return with a little more Fallout 4 (last time for a bit, we promise) and a lot more Dead by Daylight (going to be a fun year). After going over the 8th Anniversary stream for Dead by Daylight, we move into other video game news from the past week. We start with the thing Ryan likely shouldn’t buy which is the Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, then move over to Tomb Raider returning for a TV show on Amazon, Square Enix will re-focus on multi-platform releases, and we have a new Assassin’s Creed arriving in November.
