Last week the talk of the town (actually, the internet … actually, the world) was the Xbox One. We had some pretty awesome content on the site last week, but all of the attention was still mostly on Microsoft's freshly announced console. Well, that's old news now (not really, but listen anyway), so this week we're getting back to basics: vidya games, you guys! Check out all of the latest reviews, previews, and more right here on this edition of the Weekly Wrap-Up.
