41: SOPFFO the Clown

The coming of March has blessed us with an end-of-fiscal bounty of games, as we spend a bunch of this week’s episode digging deep into Ghostwire: Tokyo, Tunic, and the ever-baffling Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin. Plus: Vinny’s late-game Horizon thoughts, some speculation about this summer’s E3 window, a quick look at the Dead Space remake, and, uh, it’s raining dinosaurs?
