Welcome to Party Select, where two dudes and a guy who’s their friend talk about the best thing there is: video games. We're into August and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of summer slump going on. That is, besides the bummer of a time you experience when playing Destiny 2. We've also got conflicting thoughts on DK Bananza, a few new indies that are bringing the vibes, an update on our favorite gaming magazines, and rumors on how Sony is pivoting their publishing strategy to match Microsoft's "everything is an Xbox."
