Remember, there’s no good videogames anymore 🤓 fuck offfff mate. Banger state of play

First Mass Effect down as I replay the series. Such an incredible franchise. The first is so unique, carries a sense of wonder and exploration as you traverse with the mako. The introductions to characters and howchoices + moments pay off in later games. Truly special. Onto 2

Jumped back into Helldivers 2 for a bit and instantly reminded just how fun this game is. Still would like a sample rework in terms of progression but so good to come back

Tbh I’m just exhausted by the constant negative discourse surrounding video games. Player counts, politics, fake outrage, clip farming. It’s not just highguard it’s every release. “Videogames aren’t as good anymore” they are. Discourse has sucked the fun out of them

Finished season 3 of the expanse and oh my god. It is giving me the same feeling of Mass Effect just in TV form. What a brilliant show

Fable is going to remind everyone once again that British humour is indeed the best in the world.

It’s been a remarkable few years in the video game industry in showcasing just how much horrific leadership wastes so much talent and time. Stop letting people who don’t know shit about games make the big decisions around them
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.

Honestly just so disheartening to continuously put out content that strikes a balance of excitement/critique about games. Meanwhile all someone has to do is go “errr The marathon collectors edition doesn’t have big enough tits for me.” Buried under a load of crap

Cannot wait man. Telling you this could be really special given the Bungie spin. Also the art is fucking incredible
Marathon releases March 5, 2026 and is available for pre-order now.

Make game that flops, laid off. Make game that’s just ok, laid off. Make game that surpasses internal expectations and is a great Batman Arkham game. Laid off

Camouflaj gutted by Meta so no Arkham shadow 2, Netflix looking at WB games as "worthless",genuinely losing all hope for the future of DC and EVEN Batman videogames. A truly generational fumble that stems from poor leadership that has wasted the time of many talented studios and people. Ctrl C+CtrlV

Did a quick replay of Returnal this time on PC before Saros later this year and it's still one of my favourite games of the generation. The use of the dualsense, the environments and man that 4th boss fight still IS SICK. Only took me 5 runs total I was locked in

2026 is looking fantastic for gaming but particularly for Marvel games with Insomniac's Wolverine, Tokon Fighting Souls and 1943 Rise Of Hydra in the mix. Let's preview 2026 for marvel games

Just imagine what Massive are going to do with the division 3.

As someone who has only finished fallout new vegas, I really am loving the fallout show. It really helps that it’s a story set in that universe than a 1:1 of a game. Love how it feels like a game with main and side quests in itself

I’m not sure how much more nonsense videogame discourse I can take. Player counts, politics, agendas, price points, ridiculous comparisons but never the actual quality of the game itself. Just genuinely exhausting.

Time to start posting here more again

Massive entertainment are without doubt one of the most technically impressive out there and imo Ubisoft's best. Finally jumped into Avatar Frontiers of Pandora and the visuals are mad. Absolutely stunning and the 3rd person update is incredible.

2025 has been another BANGER year of videogames. Here’s my favourites

Since finishing Expedition 33 earlier this year I’ve been unable to find the words or video to describe how special it is. Instead I wanted to combine the words it made me feel with the reactions

The game awards yesterday and the Star Wars games that were announced are those that fire me up as a creator to want to be successful. To work for the opportunity to be invited to preview events, give feedback, create trust and establish myself. That's the target now.
