The Emerald GamesCast: It Takes (E(Three)) (Episode 60)

Editor’s Note: With school online due to COVID-19 and social distancing measures being implemented across the country, things will sound a bit different here at the Emerald Podcast Network as we navigate recording from separate physical spaces. We’ve got limited recording technology, so join us as we figure this out.

The group reviews It Takes Two and Tasomachi: Behind the Twilight. E3 goes digital (again), and Sony announces some studio shuffling.
