We apologize for the technical issues very early in the episode. For the first few minutes, Graham's voice is choppy, but it corrects itself in the first 10 minutes. Thanks for your understanding and support! With Ashland University announcing that they will offer scholarships to players for a Fortnite E-Sports team, does this signal the beginning of the NCAA getting into gaming as a competitive sport? The Gaming Hub team discusses this question and a lot more of this week's gaming news, including Nintendo's E3 conference announcement, Sony's insane console sales numbers, and what we would like to see from the upcoming Nintendo online service. In addition, Graham and Steve debate whether God of War or Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the better choice if someone has $60 to spend. We detail the releases for the upcoming week and the new free games for May, including Xbox's impressive Games With Gold lineup for the month before E3.

This week marked the release of the PlayStation 4's highly anticipated God of War, and reviews were overwhelmingly positive. However, the release also brought out some negativity, and we discuss the reaction to some reviews and posts regarding Sony's hugely anticipated game. When does a review deserve criticism? Also, Steve has had a chance to play a little of God of War, and we get his thoughts on the game. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 might not have a campaign when it releases this fall, and we discuss the impact that might have on the game, and what the overall strategy for Activision is here. In addition, Dark Souls Remastered gets a delay on the Nintendo Switch, and we discuss the top games that you can play on the Xbox One right now in case you can't play God of War on the PlayStation. Where did games like Halo 5, The Witcher 3, Grand Theft Auto V, and Sunset Overdrive rank for us? Finally, we break down the biggest upcoming releases on all three major consoles, as well as answer questions from the community in our Fan Mail segment.

This week, Rare released their content update strategy for Sea of Thieves through the summer - will it be enough to satisfy players that don't feel there is enough content in the game? We discuss this, as well as the problem Microsoft faces this year with having little in the way of top-tier exclusives to put up against Sony's God of War and Spiderman. Speaking of God of War, it's coming out soon, and we hear it's pretty good. We discuss the early reviews of the upcoming PlayStation exclusive and talk about how excited we are to get our hands on it next week. In addition, Xbox is releasing another 19 games in backwards compatibility, and we discuss whether this is really a viable strategy in opposition to Sony's new AAA games. There's actually other games coming out next week alongside God of War, and we get you the info on those too, as well as answer questions in our fan mail segment.

In Episode 89 of The Gaming Hub, we dig into the newly released Far Cry 5. Two of us have played it - what are our thoughts on the new game from Ubisoft? Also, another week into Sea of Thieves, have our thoughts on the game changed at all? Is it possible for the game to be both great and not fun at the same time? The first week of April doesn't feature many releases on console, but we detail what you can get, and there are some good sales taking place for both Xbox and PlayStation.
