Welcome to Gameonysus Weekly your one stop shop for video game news. Keeping up with the biggest stories so you don’t have to. Today we’re talking about Microsoft’s plans, Jim Ryan’s past, and NOT crunching for Ratchet and Clank . All these stories and so much more on today’s episode.
Again, this episode is just gonna cover the news and non-E3 events so all the Ubisoft news, xbox news, etc won’t be covered until later though this episode will touch on . Right now I’d like to do a bonus episode focussed solely on E3 that would come out mid/late next week. So stay tuned for that
