This week on Checkpoint Chat, we've finally wrapped up Spider-Man 2 so enjoy a deep, spoiler-riddled dive into one of this years biggest games. Elsewhere, Grand Theft Auto 6 is about to be announced, and Modern Warfare III cut corners where?

It's a stacked week on Checkpoint Chat! We do a 180 (noscope) on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, go too fast in Sonic X Shadow Generations, mess with the balance of nature for no real reason in Monster Hunter Wilds, have our eyeballs treated in Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered, and collect them all in Pokémon TCG Pocket.
