This Week on The Casual Hour…

Bobby’s got demos of unreleased games and Chase has remakes of old games as we run through a bevy of titles in our whatcha been playing segment. We also cover the recent layoffs at Highguard developer Wildlight Entertainment, and talk about why making good videos games is so hard these days. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!
