PlayStation's latest release - Marvel's Wolverine - has been under constant fire since reviews dropped nearly a week ago. We've got our hands on it (in fact - rolled credits on the game) - so let's chat (spoiler-free, of course). Apart from that, Xbox Game Pass is rumored to be undergoing a MAJOR shakeup in a few months...

Nintendo graced us with not one but TWO Nintendo Direct this week - one dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda and gave us a deep dive into the Ocarina of Time remake; the other - a general direct which, while showing off a new Metroid and Kirby game - was not as well received. PlayStation has also cut ties with Kojima and handed PHYSINT over to Xbox. Lets' discuss!
