Miscellaneous
The gaming news just did not stop this week with announcements from all three console makers. Nintendo has a modern-day answer to the Blockbuster Pokémon Snap Station and Mario gets a Lego brother! From Xbox we got the news of AMD's FidelityFX tech coming to consoles as well as Cloud Gaming on the Web and iOS. Then PlayStation made the right decision and won't be closing the PS3 and PS Vita stores after all. It's an absolutely mammoth amount of news to get through and Pete and Steve got distracted by the sheer size and value of Roblox in the middle but we made it in the end!
