It’s a big week for gaming, folks. Not only are we playing games like Dishonored and Worms Revolution, but we’re also in the middle of New York Comic Con, which is providing plenty of geek fan service. To kick off the weekend, we present to you, the GameZone faithful, with our weekly wrap-up of reviews, previews, and original editorial content. Check it all out here.
