We got to play Star Wars Battlefront 2, Need for Speed Payback, A Way Out and more at Electronic Arts' big pre-E3 shindig in Los Angeles today. We talk about our impressions of each, and particularly how impressed we were with the co-op only A Way Out.

We've seen SO many games this week – so in the space of just one hour, we each try and narrow things down to a small handful of games that really stayed with us. Everything from big blockbusters like God of War to indies like Donut County and The Artful Escape or Miguel's favorite – Sea of Thieves. We're joined by our writers Luke Winkie and Steven T. Wright for this episode, so there are six of us to listen to.

John enthuses about Call of Duty: WWII, Miguel recounts his experiences as a pirate in Skull & Bones, Simon realizes he actually really likes Shadow of War – in part thanks to the accents – and Luke describes his time with the new Monster Hunter. Also some updates on Assassin's Creed Origins, That's You, Ashen, Destiny 2, The Artful Escape and a bunch of other stuff.

There's a lot to go over since last night's podcast, and tonight the usual crew is joined by our writer Luke Winkie. In a little over an hour we tackle Bethesda's quick 40 minute showcase that included VR versions of Doom and Fallout 4 as well as a glimpse of Link in Skyrim and a brand new Wolfenstein game. Then we hit Ubisoft's phenomenal lineup, with everything from the surprising Mario + Rabbids game, the beautiful Assassin's Creed Origins, climaxing with the (new) reveal of Beyond Good & Evil 2. Then we work our way through Sony's lineup, which included DLC for Horizon Zero Dawn, a new look at God of War, and a lengthy look at Insomniac's stunning Spider-Man game.

42 Xbox games at E3 – 22 of them are some flavor of "exclusive" for Xbox One (although Microsoft's interpretation of that word might be different than yours) – we go through the whole list on the second of our daily podcasts from E3 2017.
