The times, they are a-changing. Microtransactions are getting bolder and bolder as evidenced by the latest news on Middle-earth: Shadow of War. But that's not all the controversy, as Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice seems to threaten to delete player saves if they're particularly rotten at the game. Our games of the week: Titanfall 2 (Frontier Defense), Theseus, and Fidel Dungeon Rescue.

Everyone's on board this week, but there are some choppy waters as the Kaiju Crew details some events in the gaming world that didn't quite please the fans.

The Internet is aflood with discussion of how we should judge games, so of course the Kaiju Crew has to weigh in. Speaking of weight, there's a real heavy dude coming in to Super Street Fighter V, and plenty of fighting game crossovers in general. Finally, Nintendo's Switch voice chat app is atrocious. Games of the week: Children of Zodiarcs, Destiny 2, Layton's Mystery Journey.
