It's the second podcast of the year and Eric Switzer is joined by Stacey Henley, Jade King, Issy van der Velde, and George Foster to talk about the biggest news of the week. What else is there to start with than the monumental news that Microsoft is buying Activision, which gives them access to IP like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Call of Duty, Tony Hawk's, and more.

The team discusses what will happen next because of this and how the industry has reacted. Any news after that might seem small, but the gang continues to discuss Pokemon's massive sales success this year, among other topics. After this, Eric discusses some of the games he's been playing, including Terra Nill and The Planet Crafter: Prologue, both of which he had a lot of fun with. Numbers go up, after all.

As for some of the other previews and reviews, Jade has also been playing Windjammer 2, which she was very fond of and reviewed for the site. Finally, George previewed OlliOlli World and is pretty much in love, while also having a lot of fun reviewing Nobody Saves The World.

There a lot of discussion happening right now about Microsoft ressurecting old IPs.
