My 2025 PS5 summary. Man, I just love 11 Bit Studios - The Alters and The Thaumaturge were absolutely stunning. With Indika and The Invincible in their portfolio too, they're fast becoming one of my favourite developers/publishers.

GB News grilled me apparently?
Only problem with this is I've never been on their nonsense channel.
They lie - obsessively.

Everything I've completed in 2025, listed in order of personal preference. Really chuffed to have ticked several RPGs and big 360 titles off the backlog - Lost Odyssey, The Last Story, F.E.A.R., Prey, The Darkness 1 & 2, etc etc. What I have learned is: game preservation is important. So important.

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

My newest review for Noisy Pixel is up!
@kaizengameworks.com the Devs of Paradise Killer (one of my favourite games ever), are releasing their new game on Thursday!
Promise Mascot Agency is a bizarre game, but it's surprisingly wholesome and is full of great storytelling and relatable characters!

Politicians are discussing surrendering their country's sovereignty & wealth as a 'quid pro quo' for removing tariffs that didn't exist last week, and will exist again a few months after this surrender. Trump's an incompetent, powerless bully. He'll take from weaklings who won't stand up to him.
Good luck selling to basically anyone in Britain that American billionaires should get a tax cut whilst the poorest British people have to tighten their belts

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

This is why we have a "Rasheed gets assassinated, maimed, or disappeared" production plan for Dreams on a Pillow, his game about the Nakba. Israeli terrorists, Israel's occupation, and the US genocide all mean we have to prepare for this outcome for him, too.

I was lucky enough to have played lots of really wonderful games during 2024. Here's my top 25, and they're all blimmin' fantastic. Bleak Faith: Forsaken is particularly underappreciated IMO.
