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…
The Thanksgiving holiday has made this a rather slow weekend for the gaming industry. And there wasn’t much happening at all if you weren’t out shopping for Black Friday bargains on the PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Games Store, and Amazon. However, all of those sales are still active, so if you’re looking for a new game, you might find something good to download for cheap.
Speaking of something good, Time Magazine published a list of their Top Ten Video Games of 2015, and our own Mike Ryan weighed in on PictoParty, an excellent party game for the Wii U.
