The Order: 1886 was a 6/10 that I FUCKING LOVED AND DESERVES A SEQUEL…

AND NO I WONT SHUT UP ABOUT IT.

What I would truly love would be for Nintendo to make the cancelled 3rd Oracle game “Mystical Seed of Courage” in the new Links Awakening artstyle!

I’m a simple man, you make a pixel art metriodvania… I’m gunna buy it.

$7 fewer dollars for Palestinian genocide I guess

8. Dragon Quest VII Reimagined

Fun visuals in this true to form remake that failed to update outdated design philosophies.

7/10 - DIDNT FINISH (~20 hours)

Stunning!!!

The Quiet Things on Steam Step into a fractured 00s childhood in the South of England. Inspired by the developer’s real diaries, this autobiographical narrative adventure invites you to uncover Alice’s story by piecing togethe...

You can wishlist the game here, if you want to help the devs out: store.steampowered.com/app/2288520/...

Replaced is VERY particular when it comes to its platforming huh?

IDK who needs to hear this but the "you have to adjust for inflation" bit isn't the zinger you think it is.

Because you'd also have to adjust for inflation in shelter, utilities, medical, insurance, f%&(ing food - and then you'd realize purchasing power has fallen as wage growth hasn't kept up.

sometimes I look at dishonored screenshots and go fuuuuck it's so good. fuck. I'll never forgive the gamers for not buying billions of copies of all the dishonored games

MOUSE: P.I. For Hire Review Mouse: P.I. For Hire pays homage to not only classic animation and detective noir films, but essential games like Doom for an incredible time.

I also reviewed Mouse: P.I For Hire!

Single-player shooters are having a hell of a week. Its gameplay is heavily inspired by Doom, which rules, and it has some really good world building, great voice acting, and a surprisingly dark story. My review:

Sony announces Bloodborne is getting a 24fps update.

Pragmata Review Pragmata is an incredibly fun and intuitive action shooter that will tug at your heart strings, and is one of this year's best games.

I reviewed Pragmata!

It has some of the most fun and engaging shooting and combat mechanics I've played in recent memory with great loadout options. The story is pretty shallow, but Hugh and Diana's relationship steals the show. Read it here:

The further this game can get away from GTAVI, the better. Push it to March 2027

Brian Thomas and I at PAX, the photo is from a disposable camera and it's blown out. I'm leaning against a pole.

Make ‘em dumb, sell ‘em smarts Sam Altman wants intelligence to be a utility that you pay him for

Sam Altman has a new plan to make money from generative AI: he wants intelligence to be treated like water or electricity — and we’ll all have to pay him for it.

His chatbots are degrading people’s ability to retain information and think critically. Now he wants to sell smarts back to us.

Broooooo so sick!

I say this as her husband but even if I weren't I'd say this as a colleague: Reb has had the most incredible, ridiculous run on IGN. She bled that company's colors and spearheaded a union effort that is genuinely transformative in games media. People owe her and they don't even know how much.

If you were going to go with a sunburst design, how did you not just go with the gun barrel??? Pardon the rough ps job.

Not only did I play this but I got the chance to speak with the developer for Truckful at PAX East. If you like games like Dredge, Spilled, or Lake, you’re gunna love Truckful

Lucas Pope should know that whatever he makes, I’ll be purchasing on day one so literally every single project of his could be a shadow drop.

Great point, Liz. We should probably elect officials who do something about all of this.
