Weekly Gaming Recap - February 3rd, 2023
A week of breaking records, cancellations, and delays. 2 of those are from EA so take a guess of what's what.
EA owned the week, and not for great reasons
EA had their quarterly financial report this week and this brought with it the announcement of some sad news for fans of Star Wars (me) and the Titanfall/Apex Legends universe (also me, but I’m doing alright now). With just over a month to go until the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, the title has been pushed back 6 weeks to polish what will hopefully be a great video game. Other EA titles weren’t so lucky.
On top of this, EA’s Battlefield mobile title has been canceled, and a new report suggests that a single player Titanfall game has been axed. It’s a good thing Dead Space was good! Speaking of…
Dead Space (2023) Review
Time for the first major review of 2023! Long time Dead Space die hard and Senior Content Manager Andrew Stretch praises EA and Motive for their work on bringing the beloved classic sci-fi horror game to modern audiences in his review.
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake Review
For the kids that don’t love seeing plasma cutters sever necromorphs, or for longtime SpongeBob fans (that’s me again), the follow up to Purple Lamp Studios Battle For Bikini Bottom Rehydrated has arrived with the completely original SpongeBob adventure The Cosmic Shake. As far as platformers go, it’s fine, but our reviewer Samiee Tee makes a strong case for fans to check it out in their review.

This Week’s Podcast: Hey that new Xbox exclusive Hi-Fi RUSH is pretty fantastic!
That’s all from us this week! If you’re being impacted by this wild weather (looking like -40 near me this weekend) stay warm, safe, and indoors! There’s nothing I love more than cozying up with a favorite game of mine when the weather is raging. Resident Evil 2 and Batman Arkham are my go-to rainstorm games. But for a massive chill? Looks like it’s time for me to start Persona 5 Royal, the most chill game ever made. See you next week but until then wishing you good vibes and good games!
