Episode 276 | "Happy Birthday Jesse!"
Another week has passed us by, and while Jon was out in sunny Colorado, Nick and special guest Rand Al Thor got together to celebrate Jesse's birthday in the XboxEra Podcast Episode 276!Plenty to talk about this week, from the release of Ninja Gaiden Ragebound, Viewfinder, Mafia: The Old Country, TMNT: Tactical Takedown and Hellblade 2: Enhanced Edition. PlayStation have begun to ramp up their advertising for Helldivers 2, which arrives on Xbox on August 26th - which is weirdly the same day as Gears Reloaded! They've even teased an ODST collaboration, which makes perfect sense.Gamescom is swiftly approaching and before Jon, Jesse and Predrag set off next week, we've got a few more things to do, but big thank you to Rand for stepping in and hanging out as we tackle all the community questions from our lovely Patrons.
