Platted That! - God of War (2018)

Welcome back to Platted That! This week we're going to do a quick rundown of the biggest hit (so far) of 2018, and one of the best console exclusives ever made. While we would have preferred a more unique title to distinguish this sequel from its predecessors, one that didn't force us to refer to the game as "God of War (2018)," we loved returning to the saga of Kratos and enjoyed the challenging but very doable Platinum Trophy it came with.

Graveyard Keeper Is Worthy To Keep From Getting Buried - Review (PC)

Look both ways when you cross the street; otherwise, Graveyard Keeper could provide an explanation for the age old question of, "What is beyond this life?" According to the developers from Lazy Bear Games, the afterlife is full of bouncing cognizant skulls, autopsies, burials, cannibalism, local politics, and apparently the expectation to either become a preacher or join a cult.

Madden '19 Takes Home the Lombardi - Review (XB1)

Madden ’18 was a return to form for a series that was in desperate need of a fresh start. It’s easy to dismiss games that have yearly iterations as more of the same but, with ’18, not only did they make major improvements to the gameplay and overall fun factor - they added a single player story campaign for the first time with the incredibly popular Longshot mode. Madden ’19 takes everything that was good about ’18 and improves on it in almost every way and even brings back Longshot for season two, making this the best Madden game of the generation.
