Hello and welcome to the latest edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight and I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week. The community has been buzzing about a single big release this week, Sony Santa Monica's God of War, but has also been busying itself with cardboard robots and other arts and crafts with the experimental Nintendo Labo. Meanwhile, a lot of us (including me, ZombiePie, the person who is definitely writing this) are raising money for charity over the weekend. Be sure to read more about the Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run below and contribute any way you can.
