Board games? Card games? And adorable animals?! Yes, Armello has it all, and it’s launching on PS4 next week. We sit down with Director Trent Kusters to discuss this beautiful project. As an added bonus, the Blogcast team can hardly believe that Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is out next week (alongside Mad…
