Last Week on GameGrin

It's getting to that time of year when a lot happens in the games industry. This is great for us as it means that we have loads of things to tell you about. The downside to that of course is that if you blink, then you might miss something cool. Now as the average person blinks 161,280 times in a week, there's a high chance that some of you did indeed blink and miss something, so for that reason, we present our regular roundup of the week just gone.

Reviews and Previews

Emsey had a jolly good sing-song with NOW That's What I Call Sing, Bixy moved a little bald guy around a game board in Hitman Go: Definitive Edition and Andrew did all kinds of things with the Speedlink Decus gaming mouse. Nathan reviewed PS4 remake Rainbow Moon, while Christian gave us a preview of the upcoming Elite Dangerous DLC, Horizons. 

Dominoid tried Long Live the Queen and managed to kill a princess, while Kieran killed many prehistorical beasties in his Far Cry Primal Review. Bixy played with Alekhine's Gun (no sniggering at the back please) and then Steven played with Henk's butt in his Action Henk Review. All the while, Thomas was playing and reviewing Unending Galaxy. 

News
