And Then There's Crime

This week! CJ is out, so Greg welcomes Aidan Moher of the Fun Factor podcast to break down quote-unquote "E3 2026" and the June showcases. The guys dig into what's been lost since publishers ditched the press-event era, Microsoft squandering Xbox's goodwill, God of War Laufey, Marvel's Wolverine, the Tomb Raider remake, Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Stranger Than Heaven, Alien: Isolation 2, Guild Wars 3, and Clutch. Then it's on to 007 First Light, Mina the Hollower, Bluey's Quest for the Gold Pen, the Super Station One, and much, much more.
