Morning Discussion

by Xav de Matos, Oct 05, 2010 5:00am PDT

Today is going to be a busy day. Brian is out of town at a press event and I'm venturing deeper into Toronto to see a few upcoming titles, as well. So, for the rest of the day, the keys to the car that is Shacknews are in the willing and able hands of Garnett, Alice, and Jeff.

We're gearing up with some great exclusive coverage over the next week or so, so make sure to keep refreshing Shacknews every chance you get. Starting...now!
