News
- Injustice 2 is coming out. Stephen is very excited.

- We predict, speculate, and dream about what’s going to be announced at E3 2016.
- What will be the big news on EA games (Madden, Battlefront, the unknown new Star Wars game)?
- The new Mass Effect game from Bioware?
- Bethesda’s Dishonored 2, Skyrim, and Wolfenstein franchises?
- Microsoft’s Gears of War 4, Dead Rising 4, new hardware, including Hololens? Will Microsoft jump beyond the Hololens into VR?
- Call of Duty something-or-other?
- Ubisoft’s Watchdogs 2, which is being set in San Francisco? (Actually, that’s confirmed now.)
- Will the new Just Dance have Meghan Trainor?

- And much, much more, including predictions about the Final Fantasy series and Nintendo!
What We Played
- Nicole played Hearthstone and Plants Vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, and she bought Animal Crossing: New Leaf. She thinks it might help Ana learn to read.
- Stephen played “a borderline irresponsible amount of Overwatch” and Pokemon X.
- Linda played Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Candy Crush Saga, and attended the conference Content Strategy Beyond the Screen Masterclass, at which she got excited when Noelle LaCharite talked about developing games and other “skills” for the Amazon Echo.
