Gamer, licensed RN-BSN, still trying to figure out how life works.
Friendly reminder for those interested in Castlevania Belmont’s Curse that all of these 2D Castlevania collections are available to play right now on modern platforms!

(Except for Requiem. That’s still a PlayStation exclusive to this day, due to being a direct collaboration between Sony and Konami)

After yesterday’s State of Play, I think Konami has completed their redemption arc as far as I’m concerned.

Remember when Geoff said “you all owe me an apology” for propping this game up at the TGAs last year?

Well he should probably begin shopping for ukuleles now.

Wildlight (Highguard) lays off staff according to a LinkedIn post

"Unfortunately, along with most of the team at Wildlight, I was laid off today.

This one really stings as there was a lot of unreleased content I was really looking forward to that I and others designed for Highguard."

I’m not familiar with the works of Catherine O’Hara, but I can tell that she left many smiles on people’s faces.

She meant so much to so many people. Sad to see another great soul gone.

“Harsh words do real damage,” says Larian CEO.

No, they don’t. As long as you’re not doxxing anyone or sending death threats, talk about games however you want and we will judge you for it.

Growing thicker skin and learning to filter criticism is a skill worth having.

Double Fine just revealed a brand new IP today called Kiln.

Online multiplayer game based around creating and playing as goofy sentient pottery creatures.

I was initially whelmed by the announcement, but the more I saw the more I warmed up to it.

Launches Spring 2026 for PS5, Xbox, and PC.

What reason is there to be excited for Ubisoft games at this point?

No seriously, what is there to be excited about coming out of this company now?

All the creative people left, all the creative projects have been canned, and now there’s very little good news whatsoever.

BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile). The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.

My 3x3 spread of games that left the biggest impact on me.

Not necessarily my definitive top 9 games of all time, just the ones that left the biggest mark.
