No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
It’s finally here… I think. Sony is ready to announce their plan for the PlayStation 4/Orbis… I think. It’s all still very murky and it could just end up being another teaser of a teaser of a teaser, but it’s something to look forward to. Come on, February 20, don’t disappoint me!
If you’d prefer something a little closer to now, the Warp Zoned staff took their monthly look back at What We Played in January 2013 and a look forward at The Games of February 2013. Our UK Correspondent, Andrew Rainnie, also delved into the question of when’s the right time to buy a Wii U game when you’re still unsure about purchasing the system in Why I Bought A Wii U Game Without Owning A Wii U.
There’s more news from the here and now after the break.
