I just called…<\/h2>

Good morning, friends, and welcome to this week’s edition of Whatcha Been Playing? It will be something of a shorter affair this time around, as I’m still technically off work \u2014 an endeavor that I have only been somewhat successful in maintaining. But, even when I’m not supposed to be here, I’m still gonna rock up for WBP? Not only is each and everyone one of you more than worth the time and effort, but, hey, I got a streak to maintain. So thanks for showing out this Saturday, and here’s to a fine week for you all.<\/p>

to say…<\/h2>

Playing games for review. I guess that still counts as work, right? But time, tide, and embargoes wait for no man, and thus I’ve been bouncing between two games in lieu of upcoming reviews. The first is 110 Industries’ silly slasher Wanted: Dead<\/em><\/a>, which you can read all about next week, while the second is Inti Creates rat-a-tat-tat anime actioner Grim Guardians: Demon Purge<\/a>,<\/em> which is still a little ways away. I have much to say about both of these titles. Still, I’m afraid you’ll have to hang on for the obligatory designated timestamp to pass before I can spill the beans on these particularly unique releases.<\/p>

I love you…<\/h2>

Anywhoooo, I only have a mere two days left on my holiday \u2014 a holiday that has whizzed by at ungrateful speed \u2014 and thus I better get to trying to enjoy them. I will, of course, be sure to dive into all of your comments, so join the point and tell the community Whatcha Been Playing? There’s sure been a lot of news and excitement so far this year, and hopefully, you’ve found something to get your gaming brain in gear for 2023. Tell us all about it, and share your thoughts. The World wants to hear it. And if it doesn’t, we’ll just force ’em to listen anyway. We Shall Not Be Denied.<\/p>

Have a wonderful weekend, from all of us at Destructoid.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":362694,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"article_type":"","gamurs_wordpress_blocks_hide_tags":false,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":"\"\"","apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[1953,435,19687],"internal-label":[],"invoiceable_action":[],"article_type":[],"coauthors":[{"id":3,"display_name":"Chris Moyse","user_login":"Chris Moyse","user_nicename":"chris-moyse"}],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWhatcha been playing this week, Destructoid? – Destructoid<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Chris Moyse takes a brief sabbatical from his brief sabbatical to ask the jbsgame.community Whatcha Been Playing?
