Hello there, Eoco here. I would like to introduce yet another new feature to Sarcastic Gamer, the ‘Gaming News Weekly Wrap Up’. The title says it all. 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 every piece of news that comes out, so here are the things we missed (and the things we didn’t miss) in a handy link dump format. Enjoy!

Note: Please leave a comment saying whether this is useful or not, as it takes a lot of time to do and there’s no point me doing it if it’s not useful to anyone. Any suggestions are welcomed with open arms.
