Description
Well, it is again that time of the week for a new Video Games 2 the MAX. Sean and Marc discuss some of the games they’ve been playing, what’s in...
show moreSean has put a chunk of time into Wanted: Dead the newest title from developers behind two of his favorite franchises, Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive. Should this be another celebrated title from them? Or is it more of a misfire? The truth lies probably somewhere in the middle actually.
He also gave the Wild Hearts trial a go and the demo for Like a Dragon: Ishin’s combat too. How does it compare to others in the series? Can Wild Hearts truly be called a worthy Monster Hunter clone?
Plus, the guys discuss how much validity is there to the report from Gamesindustry.biz (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/microsoft-confirms-game-pass-cannibalizes-sales) regarding Xbox Game Pass cannibalizing sales. Speaking of sales, Sonic Frontiers had some impressive numbers and there are the January NPD numbers too. Also, Marc gives his thoughts on a new Civilization game getting announced and the changes coming at Friaxis as well.
