Welcome to a special GAMA Preview episode where we highlight the games we’re excited to see at the first big convention of the year as well as give you a bit of info on this industry trade show. We also review a couple of games we first learned about last year at GAMA Expo, two games that both happen to feature rockets and aiming for the stars.
