Episode 37: March Spring Cleaning Madness

The fellas are back after the Ides of March to assassinate some games from their backlogs.  They discuss the newly released Mass Effect Andromeda, the much loved Horizon Zero Dawn, the addictive Overwatch, and the underappreciated Rise of the Tomb Raider before the commencement of their spring cleaning tournament.  The finale has them pitting games in their backlogs against each other to determine what stays and what goes.
