This week on The Kaito and Red Show, we dive into the latest gaming news and break down the PlayStation State of Play, sharing our picks for the most exciting upcoming video games. In a twist neither of us expected, the undisputed winner of the showcase was Gitaroo Man. Yes, really. We also discuss Marvel's Wolverine, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, Phantom Blade Zero an its new label "Kungfupunk", and several other titles that caught our attention. And shortly after the showcase, the Gothic 1 Remake finally arrived, giving us yet another RPG to talk about. 

On the games front, Red spent some time with The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales demo and explains why Kaito may have missed the point by only playing for an hour while Red put in five. We also revisit Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince and dive into Elite Dangerous: Odyssey after a listener email encouraged us to give Frontier's space sim another look. 

Speaking of listener emails, we also discuss reading Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher books before playing The Witcher 3 and whether experiencing the source material changes the journey. 

For this week's Question of the Week, we enter hardware territory and compare the pros and cons of a single ultrawide curved monitor versus a dual-monitor setup. Which one would you pick?
