    Thanks for these every week, Soha! I imagine we're on the same page about DC. I still need someone to sell me on Papers, Please.

    I can't wait for left 4 dead 3 even though I can't think of any other way to make the game better. Anyways, I have faith in Valve unless it involves HL3.

    Project phoenix is a title that could be really intriguing.

    Valve counting to 3 is a huge plus for me and it's about damn time.

    Happy to hear that could X1 will still have some form of game sharing now let's just hope MS doesn't fuck it up.

    Wonderful 101 came out on Wii U e-shop on Friday and gave a great trailer during its own Nintendo Direct.

    It's a great demo too. About 20 minutes long and you can try multiplayer on it.
