The Week the Calendar Goes Blockbuster | TWIVGH Ep 35 (Sept 14–20)13 Sept21 min

<p>We&#39;re covering September 14th–20th — the most expensive week on the calendar, the seven days the industry saves its biggest guns for. It&#39;s anchored by one date, September 17th, which gave us both Kingdom Hearts (2002) and Grand Theft Auto V (2013) — the biggest entertainment launch in history, over $1 billion in three days. Plus Halo: Reach and Bungie&#39;s goodbye, Gears of War 3, Borderlands 2, the buried Vita gem Killzone: Mercenary, and two lovingly remade Game Boy classics: Metroid: Samus Returns and Link&#39;s Awakening. Three deep dives: GTA V vs. Hollywood, the Kingdom Hearts elevator legend, and Bungie&#39;s long goodbye to Halo. Be sure to save your game, nerds.</p><p></p>
