Something a little different to spotlight this week: a game to play during Twitch streams called: Lurkbait Twitch Fishing (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2767520/LurkBait_Twitch_Fishing/). It’s a virtual fishing game that is played while watching various Twitch streams. On the Twitch PlayGamesMore (https://www.twitch.tv/playgamesmoredotcom) scheduled streams, we play this from time to time and the text command is !fish in the chat. Or to use channel points or bits or to subscribe you can also fish and maybe catch something even more rare.
In fact, if anybody catches The Evil Fish Monger Todd fish (extremely rare, but has been caught multiple times), then they win a wheel spin for a free Steam digital gift card from $5 – $100 USD.
Catch all the fish, increase your gold and be a master fisherman in this fun, interactive game played on Twitch with streamers that stream this game.
Now, It’s that time of the week again to check for noteworthy game releases for PC/Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch via Metacritic. We also discuss these games live on the High Noon with Hollywood Polo stream at noon Tuesdays PST (GMT-8) here: https://www.twitch.tv/playgamesmoredotcom including commentary from other PGM members, wishlist interest and more.

SUMMARY
Blazing Strikes is calling to me somewhat. Another TMNT game? I dig the turtles, so will see what price this comes in at. An expansion for New World and a narrative story based on the hit horror movie A Quiet Place? I don’t normally get into visual novel stuff, but A Quiet Place was a bada$$ horror movie that really played with silence in fun ways and my mind is whirring with how a videogame could exploit this in a fun way. All in all, an encouraging new week of releases, what is turning your crank? Let us know in the comments.
