Damned impressive breakdown of the EA/Saudi situation and why "keep politics out of games" is an ignorant, and maybe even dangerous position to take.
Here’s my breakdown of EA’s pending sale… to Saudi Arabia… and why this is much, much bigger than video games. I’m late to this from a ‘news’ perspective obviously, but it’s because I worked on this video for about a month.

It is a funny thing that people seem shocked that PlayStation streaming has so many more games in it than Xbox cloud streaming does.
PlayStation has been in the streaming game for far longer, having bought OnLive and Gaikai years ago. Of course they've built up more of a library.

This layoff is not related to Square Enix saying earlier today that it is looking to automate QA testing with generative AI — this is consolidating publishing, marketing, sales, and other business operations from the US and Europe to Japan

Voidtrain is a fantastic game in a genre I rarely enjoy. Hypetrain Digital deftly weaves an intriguing, emotional story into a thoroughly enjoyable gameplay loop. It's launching into 1.0 on Xbox Game Pass, and it is well worth checking out solo or with friends.

this is genuinely wild
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Nintendo’s embargo for Age of Imprisonment stipulated that reviews could not cover ANY non-public story details. None.
Avoiding spoilers or surprises is one thing, but we simply could not agree to such a broad restriction, so we decided to hold our review until launch.

Dead Static Drive is a pretty, broken game. The poor gameplay mechanics and constant issues with quest progression further drag down what is otherwise a disappointing title.

What are you playing this weekend?
It's cold, raining and dark outside (well it is here in the UK anyway) so now is the perfect time to hunker down under a blanket, pile up some snacks and supplies and get stuck in to a new - or old favourite game. We've asked some of the team what they have been getting into this week, and you can let us know what's in the line-up for you in our poll. We'd love to know what you are playing this weekend.

An Interview with South of Midnight’s Lead Star Adriyan Rae
I'm getting the hang of wringing answers out of actors, I think. I know a lot about what it takes to make games, but it turns out that I have no idea what it takes to make a game! Getting in touch with the artistic side of things has been a rewarding experience and today, I'd like to spotlight one of Xbox Game Studio's latest female leads---Adriyan Rae (Instagram) is Hazel from the lovingly crafted 'South of Midnight', an action-adventure game that takes players through the heart of the deep American South as tragedy and struggle violently intertwine.
