This week’s 5-Second Review Brian knows what he likes and the Coming Soon section ushers in Tunic for good Zelda feels and Stranger of Paradise for maximum chaos.

A new Halo Infinite developer update has brought a bit of bad news mixed in with some good. The converted campaign co-op mode which was a feature missing at launch has been delayed and those waiting for Forge mode are going to have to wait longer as 343i has said they need more time. On the upside, there are some new updates coming along with Season 2.

The Steam Deck is finally out!.. well, for some people. The good news is the reviews are in and most everyone had very positive things to say about their time with Valve’s handheld PC. The bad news is there were more than a few complaints about the Steam Deck’s hardware and software debut. Don’t worry we have collected all the pros and cons across multiple sites just for you, right here on Inside Gaming Roundup.

In other news hackers leaked some of Nvidia’s source code possibly revealing specs for the actual  Switch Pro, Elden ring is having some tech issues on PC but people are playing it anyway, Wargaming fired their creative director over pro-war comments, and Phil Spencer wants developers to be treated with more respect.

This week’s 5-Second Review (in progress) jumps back into Elden Ring and the Coming Soon section may have a gem or two if you can stand parting with the time you would otherwise be spending in the lands between.

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend.

00:00 - Reviewers say Steam Deck feels rushed  
06:51 - Switch 2 specs leak?
07:55 - Elden Ring is huge on PC despite issues
08:54 - World of Tanks studio fires creative director
09:45 - Phil Spencer wants devs to be treated with more respect
10:38 - 5-Second Review
10:58 - Coming Soon

Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister has asked PlayStation Xbox and the entire games industry to give all of Russia the ban hammer. Shortly after EA responded by removing all of the Russian teams and clubs from FIFA 22, FIFA mobile, and FIFA Online. NHL 22 was also given the same treatment and now other game companies might follow suit either blocking Russian players from accessing games or also removing the country for other sports games.

There is also a growing effort from a number of game developers to raise funds for humanitarian charities to aid Ukraine as it continues to be attacked, bombed, and invaded by Russia.

Steam Deck emails were supposed to be sent to everyone who pre-ordered the handheld over the summer but a lot of people still haven’t seen one. It’s a little concerning considering you only have 72 hours to confirm your pre-order after the email finally does arrive. Well, Valve says there are more on the way. Details in today’s Steam Deck PSA.

Steam Deck emails update

Elden Ring is finally out and the reviews are in but it turns out reviewers were only given a week to play the massive game. This set Twitter on fire earlier this week and now we're back into the age-old debate over what constitutes a comprehensive review and questions are being asked about how much reviews matter altogether. We have got the whole back and forth right here on the Weekend Roundup.

In other news Ubisoft shut down a Rainbow Six tournament after fan backlash, we got a first look at the PSVR2, an EA CEO let FIFA have it, and there could be 4 Avatar: The Last Airbender games development.

This week’s 5-Second review really puts Brian to the test as he tries to hit his embargo and the Coming Soon section is a pretty big haul which includes Triangle Strategy and Gran Turismo 7

Thanks for watching everyone and have a great weekend.

00:00 - Most reviewers didn’t finish Elden Ring 
05:35 - Ubisoft cancels Rainbow Six Siege tourney after backlash
06:46 - PlayStation VR 2 headset unveiled
07:48 - EA CEO blasts FIFA  
09:32 - Last Airbender game in development?
10:34 - 5-Second Review
10:58 - Coming Soon
