Level 28 - Avery Played A Bunch of Games

Avery returns to the podcast and brings with him a plethora of games to talk about. The other guys also played games, but let's be honest nothing of real consequence. Am i right folks?......(cough)...... Anyway Avery played and beat Uncharted the Last Legacy and has nothing but great things to say about it. He also played Mario+Rabbids and while the Rabbids did everything they could to destroy his enjoyment of this game Avery has nothing but praise. In a hefty news segment that eats up the rest of the show, the group discuss Games with Gold and Playstation Plus, the Crystal Dualshock PS4 controllers and DJ's annoyance with Sony's design sensibilities. Avery and Marcus get hyped for the next No More Heroes and Marcus loses his mind for Street Fighter's new character Menat. PSVR gets a price drop, raising insteresting questions for the future of VR, and the group throws down about Shadow of War's tribute to a fallen producer and trust me it was a pretty divisive converstation.
