This Week in Gaming (Week 47)
Welcome to GTA VI release week to those of you that own a gaming console and for the rest of us, it's a pretty quiet week when it comes to new releases, for obvious reasons. Once again we end up with all the major releases lumped together over just a couple of days and this week's major release is a family friendly MMORPG set in a world of mountaintops. We kick off the week with some hatred towards you, by trees, which is followed by a motocross simulator and an idle adventure set in the RuneScape universe. We round off the week with a very advanced take on the tower defence genre and an action hack and slash game.
Spirit Crossing / This week's major release / Monday 16 November
From the makers of Cozy Grove: Glide through pastel clouds, help lost spirits along the way, and design your own home nestled high on a mountain peak.
