On last week's episode of Reboot, Mike and Jake discussed the many shortcomings of Call of Duty: WWII's campaign. This week, they dig deeper into the franchise, answer viewer questions, and discuss what makes a good World War II game.
The gruesome twosome also delves into behind-the-scenes aspects of their process, from forming an argument for each episode of the show, and what it means when their opinion conflicts with those of other GameSpot's staffers. (Hint: It's really not that surprising).
This week also marks the penultimate episode of Reboot's second season. So be sure to comment on this video or hit Mike and Jake up on Twitter, with suggestions of how they can improve the show going forward. It's been a fun ride, and they're looking forward to more episodes to come.
It's almost Black Friday. The annual shopping bonanza is coming up this Friday, November 25, and there are going to be quite a lot of video game deals to be had. One game marked down nicely is Ubisoft's newly released Assassin's Creed Origins.
The ambitious, open-world game set in Ancient Egypt launched on October 27 behind a mostly positive critical reception. Best Buy and Target will have the title for only $35 on Black Friday, while Toys R Us will offer the game for $40. Meanwhile, GameStop will offer a discount on the game + Season Pass, cutting it down to $70.
While you have to wait until Black Friday for those deals, the Xbox and PlayStation Stores are selling Origins right now for only $42. If you're OK without a disc and want to play right now, that's a nice option to have.
GameSpot's Assassin's Creed: Origins review scored the game a 7/10. Reviewer Alessandro Fillari said the game reaches new heights in its Egypt setting, but unfortunately, the game "routinely runs into issues that bog down the overall experience." You can read our full review here.
A new Origins update released last week squashed some bugs and made other tweaks to the experience; here are the patch notes.

Black Friday is right around the corner. One of this year's biggest sports games, Madden NFL 18, is among the titles that will be on sale. Now that some of the big retailers have revealed their flyers for Black Friday, we know how much you'll be able to get it for.
Best Buy, Target, and Toys R Us will have the pro football game for half off, dropping it down to just $30. GameStop has an even sweeter deal, offering the game for only $27.
If you don't want to wait until Black Friday and are OK without a disc, both the Xbox Store and PlayStation Store currently have Madden NFL 18 for only $30.
GameSpot's Madden 18 review scored the game a 9/10. We praised its use of the Frostbite engine to allow for "new levels of realism," while the game's single-player story mode, Longshot, also received a lot of praise. You can read our full review here.

Resident Kinevil is many things. It's a thrill ride. It's a buddy cop drama. It's the tragedy of a friendship shattered and put back together again, all in the name of anti-bioterrorism.
But on this episode, things actually get kind of scary. We won't spoil anything for you, but this may be the least composed Mike has ever been over the course of seven seasons. Be sure to make fun of him at your earliest convenience.
For more like the video above, catch up on Resident Kinevil, in which Mike Mahardy and former GameSpotter Mary Kish make their way through every numbered Resident Evil game. You can watch it on the show's GameSpot page, or here on its YouTube channel.
Amazon's starting Black Friday season early with the Countdown to Black Friday Week sale. With discounts on everything from home goods to tech accessories, the sale has plenty for gamers. Right now, today's deals are all about PC accessories and a few PS4 and Xbox One S deals.
Before Black Friday rolls around this week, Humble Bundle has a plethora of Rockstar titles on sale right now. Everything from Grand Theft Auto V to L.A. Noire is currently marked down from 50 to 70 percent off.
This Humble Bundle sale only pertains to those of you on PC, so if you're looking to snag a copy for your consoles, you'll be out of luck here. But if you haven't already gotten your hands on these titles, now's a good chance.
To check out the rest of what's in the sale, head on over to Humble Bundle. For another pre-Black Friday deal on the console side of gaming, check out this $200 Xbox One S deal at Walmart.
