Shiniest Objects: Not That Kind of T Club
The industry is spent, and we should all take time to recover before the ceremonial month of patting ourselves on the back for good gaming. EA did manage to confuse us, while Skyrim teased the beginning of its flood of awards, and Nintendo bounced back with tried and true franchises for the 3DS. Here at the Night we had a little bit of everything from dinosaur kings to handheld reviews to PC advice.
Every day we are on the look out for the most interesting news items in the gaming industry. Some make it on the site as headlines, and the articles that just miss the cut end up in the Shiny Objects feed on our Google+ Horrible Night Newswire Page. Every Monday we recap the shiniest of the objects, and our original articles from the previous week.
