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…
After suggesting that Nintendo should get into the moviemaking business and watching Kevin Spacey take over the Call of Duty franchise, the Warp Zoned staff has got movies on the brain. So naturally, our UK Correspondent, Andrew Rainnie, checked in with Legendary’s Mass Effect adaptation and mused about 10 Actors (and Actresses) Who Could Play Commander Shepard.
After that, Nicole Kline took a look back at Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW and just threw her hands up at the whole thing. John Scalzo (hey, that’s me) had a similar reaction to R.B.I. Baseball 14 in his review of MLB AM’s attempt at a retro baseball sim.
But this week was really all about Microsoft and the moves they made to get people interested in the Xbox One again. Moves like announcing Halo 5: Guardians and (possibly deliberately) spreading the rumor that a Halo 1-4 Box Set is in the works. Then there’s the matter of Gears of War 4 and the fact that the Xbox One will no longer ship with the Kinect sensor (maybe I should have lead with that one).
More news from this week can be found after the break.
