233: An X-Ray Equals 10 Bananas

Ubisoft is doing a big old reorg, delaying and canceling games, and talking about "billionaire brands," Marathon gets a release date, Highguard is out next Monday, Life Is Strange is getting an unexpected sequel, some consoles get ranked from prettiest to ugliest, and we spent time with games like Hack and Climb, Whiskerwood, and Silent Hill f's new game plus mode. All that and more on this week's show!
