Hello and welcome to a potentially SPOOKY edition of the Giant Bomb Community Spotlight! I, @zombiepie, am once again honored to be your host this week as many partake in costume debauchery or candy overindulgence. In regards to video games, I think we can all agree it was a solid week for the industry. With the releases of Super Mario Odyssey, Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and Assassin's Creed Origins there's no short supply of quality gaming experiences! Almost on cue, there's also quite a bit of site related housekeeping to review this week, so let's have at it!
