The PlayStation Recap: What We’re Reading

Welcome back! I hope that your holiday break was as fulfilling as mine (and by that I mean I finally wrapped up Persona 4 Golden). Did you clear out your backlog at all? Or maybe you got more games as gifts, that are now contributing to that pile?

During the break, we got some holiday cards from developers such as Superbot and Naughty Dog, we got a first ears-on with Soul Sacrifice’s Skywalker Sound scoring sessions, got you a holiday-themed papercraft reindeer from the Tearaway team, and plenty more.

With Persona 4 Golden finally finished (no Platinum Trophy… yet), I’m moving on to one I probably should have played by now: The Walking Dead. I’m only one episode in so far, but I hope that since I’m actively playing it now, Sid will stop scowling at me whenever I talk about playing anything else.
