Summary

We're nearing the start of the fall season, and that means a bevy of new games will roll in like an avalanche, stretching from now until the holidays.

Hear their picks for what to watch for over the coming months, as well as Wesley and Hayes' impressions of Phantom Blade Zero, Marcus' thoughts on indie darling And Roger, and a true debate: are suits mechs?
