This week we're comparing Microsoft and Sony's games subscription lineup and how Xbox and PlayStation's strategies compare. We'll also take a look at Take-Two and EA's upcoming release calendar (spoilers, could be a lot of games we've already played). And we go over last week's poll where we asked you who you're playing as in the upcoming Gotham Knights.
