Violent multiplayer party game Machine Party announced Publisher Oro Interactive and developer Buckshot Roulette developer Mike Klubnika have announced Machine Party, a new multiplayer game that's like Mario Party but with gratuitous violence.

You had me at “like Mario Party but with gratuitous murder”. 🥲 Don’t look at me like that! If you’ve played Mario Party I know you were thinking it when you lost a mini-game! 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Inside the box that had MGS in the non-greatest hits case, a baggie of GBA games and a working GBA, I happened to find THIS on the bottom. Aside from missing the paper map it was practically CIB. sadly had no means to test it. 😢 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #blueskygaming

Is the end soon to be nigh for Luna? Never tired the service myself since I don’t use Amazon that much in a sense. Xbox Game Pass is the most I’ve tried with game sub/streaming services. 🤷‍♂️ #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Been behind in the free game offerings as of late. Need to step up my claim game to pad out my steam library. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Odd the offering the first game again when it was offered last week. Guess if you missed out then you get a second chance to claim. 🤷‍♂️ #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

During my trip back to the “mothercountry” I was able to procure these lovely retro gems when I help out a family friend sort though some tech they had lying around. Got more to share but only these are in my collection. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #blueskygaming

Street Fighter 6 gets new trailer for Ingrid Capcom has shared a new gameplay teaser for Street Fighter 6 DLC character Ingrid, the latest addition to their flagship fighting game. The new DLC character is the fourth and final character in the…

I remember how reviled Ingrid was when she was introduced in Capcom Fighting Evolution & SF Alpha 3 back in the day. I asked this question since then: when Ingrid returns am I allowed to laugh. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Nintendo-published Switch 2 games confirm different pricing structure for physical or digital Nintendo-published Switch 2 games will begin to have different pricing if the game is a physical or a digital release. Starting this May, new Nintendo games on Switch 2 will be priced at $59.99…

I see what you’re trying to pull Nintendo. Jokes on you, I’ll either wait till they go on sale digitally (I’m sure the lowest it’ll go is $30) or I’ll just buy “cart only” used. Hell I might go the third option out of spite. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames

Sad news for one of “Teh Nephews” Nintendo Switch. The dreaded OSOD. His fault really. Should’ve taken better care of it by not constantly dropping it on the ground. At least it didn’t get run over by a lawn mower. not getting replacements. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Epic Games lays off over 1,000 staff citing Fortnite “downturn” in popularity Epic Games has announced a massive wave of layoffs, citing a significant drop-off in engagement for their popular sandbox shooter Fortnite. The developer and publisher is set to lay off over 1,000…

I can vouch. “Teh Nephews” (and to an extent, myself) hardly touch Fortnite these days, instead trying other F2P offerings on tablet, PC & console or for me just not having time. Shame they jacking up Vbuck costs. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #bluskygaming

Looks like the Temu experiment a coworker & I performed was a great success. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on Switch for $15.88 after taxes and shipped. Looks legit, was shrink wrapped CIB & booted just fine. Even passed the “cart taste” test. Shocking. 🤷‍♂️ #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

PATLABOR the Case Files announced Publisher Good Smile Company and developer Chime Corporation have announced PATLABOR the Case Files, a new 3D action game based on the beloved mecha series. PATLABOR the Case Files is in development…

Finally! It’s about time Patlabors share the mecha spotlight! Now I’m just curious if they’ll go for a “police academy” feel, I was told some episodes were like or will it go for serious political intrigue like the movie. 🤔 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames

Bought more cheap plastic vs getting an actual game controller peripheral for my “gaming “smartphone”. This one has a built in stand. One day I’ll stop being cheap and get one of those Bluetooth powered devices. 🤷‍♂️ #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Crimson Desert apologizes for gen AI use, plans to replace it all Not long after its launch, reports that Crimson Desert has gen AI assets in game surfaced – which its developer Pearl Abyss has now confirmed are true. "Following reports from our community…

And just like that the latest gaming release had AI assets in it. They promise to remove but will it be too late given how some frown heavily in AI use in game development? TBC. 🤷‍♂️ #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Lords of the Fallen reboot sells over 2.5 million copies Publisher CI Games and developer HEXWORKS announced their Lords of the Fallen reboot has sold over 2.5 million copies. Lords of the Fallen was released back in 2023 across Windows PC (via Steam)…

And yet another example of “total player counts don’t impress me, total copies sold will.” I don’t think this was on a subscription service either. Bit of a slow burn, perhaps from the “boycott”🤷‍♂️, but pulled it off just the same. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames

A coworker and I are performing a little Temu experiment. He says no way anyone would sell a legit Mario game for less than $30. Guess we’ll find out next week. 🤷‍♂️😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Another game to add to my simulation collection. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

While I’m excited that Shenmue III is getting an enhancement, as well as multiple ports, I was rather hoping we’d get Xbox One/PS4 ports for my own self amusement. Guess I’ll make do having the trilogy on different systems. 🤷‍♂️ #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #blueskygaming

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered out now on Switch 2 and mobile alongside Challenge Mode update Publisher Aspyr Media and developer Crystal Dynamics announced Tomb Raider I-III Remastered is now available for Switch 2 and mobile alongside a new Challenge Mode update for existing platforms.

Looks like not only this is now available on Switch 2, along with this update, but if you own this digitally (and possibly physically as well) on Switch you can claim the Switch 2 version for free. 😬 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #blueskygaming

Though I dabble with AI here and there at the end of the day I want to choose when I implement AI vs having it chosen for me. Give me a choice, and/or the ability, to use/no to use it, especially in my hobbies. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Slay the Spire 2 tops 3 million copies sold after 1 week Indie developer Mega Crit announced Slay the Spire II has already sold over 3 million copies after only 1 week of sales. Their new sequel to their breakout hit roguelike deckbuilder was just released…

Once again yet ANOTHER example of “total player counts don’t impress me, total copies sold will”. I think this wasn’t even offered on one of those game sub services. Just early access. Imagine that. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

Part of me wants to agree with this statement, given I’ve thought this for awhile now, but since it’s coming from GameStop it makes me consider calling the consoles mentioned as “prior” than “retro” just to be facetious. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #blueskygaming

An impressive and well written review of a franchise that’s holding strong. Good to see it doesn’t exactly fall for the hype that others have, despite it being enjoyable overall. Still not paying $70 for it. 😈 #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming

The demo wasn’t enough for me so I held off on playing it more till I got my physical copy. Unsure if I’ll play it now since I’m not in a “spoopy” mood. Still I installed it on my system so we’ll see if I get some free time. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming #blueskygaming

Review or no I already preordered months ago. Love me some Fatal Frame & hope we see remakes of I & III. I’m just rather shocked at how some are big mad there was no mention of the censorship in the game itself. 🤷‍♂️ #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #retrogaming

I enjoyed Terminator: Resistance so much on PS4 I was looking forward to trying out the DLC offered. Sadly it was only going to be on new gen consoles. As much as I’m tempted to get “Enhanced” digitally, I want it physically on PS5. #gamer #gaming #videogames #vidyagames #blueskygaming
