Monthly Planorama 051: August 2025

August's release calendar looks like it might make up in quality what it lacks in quantity, with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Sword of the Sea, the MGS3 remake, Gradius Origins, Mafia: The Old Country, Gears of War: Reloaded, and a few other interesting-looking things rounding out the slate. Listen in as we plan through all of it!
