Hand of Thor skit [00:01] - [00:36]
This is yet another week, barren of game releases, where we wait patiently until Madden day, which signifies the start of the holiday gaming season. There’s still one more week of no games, so we’ll try and continue to fill the hours with the PS3 back catalog, and any indie games you guys can come up with. Oh and demos, lots and lots of demos.
