Gamebox 2.0: Games of October 2024
This October the Gamebox 2.0 gave us a few tricks and plenty of treats. We got to reunite with some old friends on the baseball diamond for Backyard Baseball ’97, went Beyond Shadowgate for the sequel to the NES adventure game, combined tactics and deck building in Dark Sky, and unleashed our inner Bridezilla in Lethal Wedding. Check out everything we played this month below.
Review: The Killer’s Game
Dave Bautista battles a rogue’s gallery of colorful assassins in the over-the-top new action movie The Killer’s Game, which came out last weekend in theaters.
