The Week In Games: Where Every Orc Knows Your Name

Who’s ready to make some friends?

I grew to like Shadow of Mordor despite my best efforts. It turns out slicing and dicing orcs, no matter how brutal and repetitive, is a hell of a lot of fun. Still, Shadow of War and The Evil Within 2 leaves this week feeling pretty bleak. I guess that’s expected when you finally have a Friday in October that falls on the 13th. While it’s been a weak season so far for horror movies, you can pretty much take your pick this week when it comes to scary games. If that’s what you’re into, do yourself a favor and don’t overlook Sylvio 2.
