Last year, Telltale Games let us put on the cowl of the Caped Crusader to some very positive reaction. Personally, I enjoyed the noticeably different take on Batman and his lore. Now, Telltale is back with the second season, The Enemy Within, that looks to keep up inspired storyline efforts by diving much deeper into the rogues gallery. Things here start off with The Riddler.
It’s been a few months since we got our hands on Splatoon 2 during their Global Testfire and it’s finally time to get answers to the questions that were brought up then. How will Nintendo’s online service operate? Have they not changed enough from the original? What is the first Splatfest going to be? Where are Callie and Marie?

Microsoft had a decent presence at San Diego Comic Con 2017, including a dragon to take pictures with (you could sit on a dragon for Middle Earth: Shadow of War!). But even with a dragon photo op, arguably the most fun was Crackdown 3’s panel starring Terry Crews.

Lost Sphear was a pleasant surprise at Square Enix’s booth at San Diego Comic-Con, because the game didn’t make an appearance at E3. Even more surprising was that the build featured at the booth was the Switch version. We got our hands on it and so far, so good.
