As I mentioned yesterday in my write up about the uncovered Spider-Gwen Disney Infinity figure , I love the YouTube channel of Liam Robertson, who does some very thorough research and puts together incredible videos about games that for one reason or another, never got released.

This being E3 week and all, we’re all excited to get lost in all the hype of the new games, hardware and VR offerings coming down the pipeline. It appears that Activision however are perhaps looking to dig into their past catalog if some recently…
The only reason I’m awake right now is because of pure hype and excitement. Having worked very early yesterday morning, it was a struggle to stay up for the Sony press conference, and boy, am I glad that I did.
