Game Time With Manny

In this fine episode of the podcast we take a look at the hottest news and talk a bit about how maybe the games industry hasn't been doing great with controversy recently.

After chatting a bit about the games we played these past few weeks we transition into a conversation about the documentary Raising Kratos, which is about the development of the new God of War.

He used to be on my regular game of the year podcast, but this past summer he moved away. In order to continue our yearly tradition we recorded this podcast!
