Here in Minnesota, where many of the Game Informer staff is based, the weather is beginning to warm up. No more cold days and even colder nights, and, most importantly, no more snow! We've had quite the week at work, with Star Wars day bringing the force on Tuesday, Jay Guisao reviewed Switch Sports (give it a read here), and the biggest news of the week:Square Enix is selling off most of its western studios to the ever-growing Embracer Group. After this whirlwind of a week, we're ready to close our laptops and enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures, or shimmy into a dark, cool movie theater and see what horrors lie in the Marvel multiverse.
Here's what the GI staff has planned for the coming weekend:
Alex Stadnik – I was so ready to come in hot and talk all this mess about how I'm not playing games this weekend because of how nice it is in Minneapolis. But then my buddy Joe «King» Iverson put me on to this little game called Rogue Legacy 2. I've dedicated my nights to it since and plan to continue that trend into the wee hours of the weekend. Outside of that, I'll probably find a Dr. Strange showtime, and I'll be celebrating my mom and grandma on Sunday. Hot take: Mom's are pretty great.
Wesley LeBlanc – I have a pretty packed weekend already planned, and sadly, not much of it will consist of gaming. When I do have the chance to kick back with a controller, I’ll probably continue making my way through GTAV. I just recently played through the Trevor torture mission, and wow, uhhh what the hell. That was a lottttttt, ha. My nephew, who just started playing video games last year, has a flag football game tonight, and I’m going to surprise him with Luigi’s Mansion 3 because he’s been dying to play it, so that’ll be neat.
