This feature is for those of you who only check Sarcastic Gamer for their gaming news, or those of you who haven’t had enough time to catch up on all the latest happenings. The staff here at SG are, after all, only human and it’s impossible for us to cover all Yamster’s posts, let alone every single piece of news that comes out. Therefore here are the things we missed (and the things we didn’t miss) in a handy link dump format. Enjoy!

If you think you’ve missed any E3 news, this is the place to check.

Note: The links are now under separate headings for each day, making it even easier to catch up on the latest gaming news! eg. If you weren’t here on Tuesday, just scroll down to the Tuesday heading and look at what you missed!
