Taking a moment to inject some personal opinion into this cheeky lil' guide, I cannot wait to see more of The Callisto Protocol. Since its announcement, I've been a tad desperate for some sci-fi horror ultra-violence. However, High On Life tickles me quite a bit I must admit, and with its recent delay, I'll take any update on the title I can get.
