This week we honor and educate ourselves on the legacy of the great John Madden, then wonder what’s going on with Ubisoft’s attrition rate and G.R.R.M.'s blog.

We examine the PlayStation 5 from multiple angles - its new subtly advanced model, recently announced 2021 Showcase, and cloudy PS4 upgrade path for Horizon Forbidden West.

This week we got a very Nintendo announcement for the Switch, and a very Ubisoft announcement for Assassin’s Creed.

While we’re unqualified to examine the court case between Epic and Apple, the documents released from it are fun to peek at. We chuckle at financial reports and private emails while pondering a return to Sunset Overdrive, Game Builder Garage’s surprise announcement, the best-selling Star Wars games ever, and our favorite moments from Giant Bomb. 00…

Ratchet once again shows off the power of the PS5.
