Welcome to the Hot Shot of the Week Archive!
The Hot Shot of the Week is a spotlight review on one particular title of the week that stands head and shoulders above the rest of the offerings in any given week. Chosen by various contributing reviewers here at CR, the Hot Shot places the focus on the best of the week as chosen by that week's reviewer.
