Very late to the party playing Starwars Outlaws.
I loved it. Open world starwars where you can speedbike across a planet, jump in a spaceship and fly into an asteroid field works so well!
Speeding across tattooine meeting jawas and jabba was amazing. Hope there’s a sequel!
PC! Have now finished it (I’m taking the end to be beating final level with 8 different characters). Was fun!
Yeah. I had similar. Wasn’t sure what I was meant to do… kept dying after 5-10 mins… now that number is slowly creeping up and I’m finding myself invested!
Just finished Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Ended up spending 183 hours playing it - very much my game of the year! (2nd was Indy, 3rd expedition 33)
They patched it - great game!
Been playing huge amounts of Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 - I think it might be my game of the year - incredible!
I started my Xbox journey on 360 (we got launch ones given to us at Lionhead thanks to Microsoft) - from Hexic HD to the stars! (With a lot of Magic along the way) #MyXboxStory at @TrueAchievement www.trueachievements.com/my-xbox-stor...
Heading into London to my first ever book launch - my friend Colin has written this - excited!

Just finished and thoroughly enjoyed Revenge of the Savage Planet. Great fun game - very much worth checking out!
Doom Dark Ages complete. Great fun but have no idea what the story was!
After 100 hours have finished Assassins Creed Shadows. Stunning visuals - the seasonal shifts, lighting and details (like Naoe’s hair). Loved the dual characters (and discovering that Yasuke was a real life person!)… but spent most of time playing as Naoe as Yasuke move set is limited! #ACShadows
Was really enjoying Atomfall but hit a bug where I couldn’t progress in entering the weapons testing area in the interchange. Hopefully Rebellion will fix soon - whilst I wait I’ve started playing the new Assassins Creed
Just finished Sniper Elite: Resistance. Much like Avowed it doesn’t really do anything new… but what it does do (sniping nazis in slow motion kill cam) it still does well :-)
Just completed Avowed after 50 hours. Enjoyed it. Real Skyrim vibe to the gameplay which I loved. Anyone else played it?
@dringo.bsky.social just listening to the latest ign uk podcast and there was an advert from you and James for the games industry.biz podcast?! I thought it had ended?! Bizarre! (This was the first and only advert I’ve heard for the cast)
…the very enjoyable Banishers: Ghost of New Eden - great story and performances (though combat can get a little repetitive) but lots to love! Recommend it if you like a good action adventure / RPG.
After completing the superb Indiana Jones game I struggled on what to play next. I bounced between a feel games including Hellblade II (too bleak and disturbing for me), Dragon Age Veilguard (didn’t click) and Immortals of Aveum (too repetitive).. then found my next game was…
Had a lovely day today at the Guildford games festival - incredible to see how this event has gone from strength to strength over the past few years!
Honoured to be “in the chair with…” in this months Retro Gamer magazine!
Great to see Kareem and Mark present their career journeys at Guildford games fest!
I'm thrilled to share that I've joined Astrid Entertainment as Director of Production and Operations. Astrid is dedicated to building fantastical interactive worlds where players' choices shape their experiences. I look forward to collaborating with this amazing team!
Happy 2025! Back in the 90s, when we created Impossible Mission 2025, we had a wild prediction: 2025 would witness the rise of an evil megalomaniac who intended to use AI robots to annihilate the world and escape to the moon aboard his rocket ship. Let’s hope Elon doesn’t go full Elvin Atombender!
Finished Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - incredible - highly recommend!
(and recommend that when you get it sorted you check out Indiana Jones - it's great!)
Aha - last i spoke to you you were at planning stage for the bigger setup - hope the big battery turns up soon - i suspect it will feel super gratifying when you have gone 100% sustainable on your power with the new setup!!
Great to see Astrobot win so many awards at the Game Awards show. Well deserved - incredibly talented team behind it and honoured to have hung out with Nico Doucet on a number of occasions whilst at Sony. Lovely chap!
Aww man... sorry to hear this... are the solar panels not doing what you need?
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is incredible. Just got to the Himalayas and loving every minute - it’s amazing in that it feels like a unique genre - maybe it’s the start of a new genre - the Indy game!
Wow. Just finished watching the making of Stalker 2 documentary. What an incredible achievement to finish that game whilst your home country is being invaded by Russia. youtu.be/28CITqxwNz0?...
And here’s my Xbox year in review - dominated by Starfield and Stalker 2!
