Hey! I’m Will, a guides writer at GamesRadar+!
Hopefully something of mine you’ve read has helped you out. I also occasionally write features and other things to get my very good video game opinions out into the world. If you disagree, you can 1v1 me on Rust

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

Running Man was not good but it did at least show that Lee Pace should be a Metal Gear Solid character - Pacemakerman or some shit

Finally slapped a score on my Black Ops 7 review and got it all tidied up (thanks @mroscartk.bsky.social!) and the campaign is uhhh… certainly something.

I respect the attempt to make the weirdest Call of Duty possible with Black Ops 7, but it results in a campaign misfire and multiplayer that's hardly revolutionary
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a highly ambitious FPS that delivers on its promise to be the biggest Black Ops ever, wearing its psy-op weirdness proudly, but is an uneven package overall.

A friend and I have been trying to play Redsec for 45 minutes and so far we’ve got into one game out of here without any issues. 1st game, a bug causes my friend to basically cease to exist before the game starts. 3rd game crashes as soon as the chopper drop starts. Modern gaming is great!!1!1!

Big fan of the “Jim Trinca talks shite about games” subgenre and this one’s great. I’m also going to use this as a cheeky opportunity to plug my two-year-old op-ed about Starfield being crap for similar and slightly different reasons

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship.

A rare review from me, this time for Redsec - Battlefield 6’s battle royale spin-off that EA is probably going to turn into Roblox for adults who like to play soldiers

I'm not yet sold on Battlefield's free battle royale, but I've had fun with its new Gauntlet mode
Battlefield Redsec is a sound framework for further developments, but it strays from Battlefield's core identity.

All the talk about Arc Raiders PVP has made me consider that Sea of Thieves was actually an extraction shooter all along, you just also have to sail a big boat

Jokes aside, I’m very glad I went back to Outer Wilds (first tried it not long after release in 2019! Couldn’t believe it was even that old!). Amazing capacity to make you feel like a complete idiot but those crucial breakthroughs are so satisfying. Really impressive!
With The Outer Worlds 2 out soon, I thought it was finally time I should check out the first one

Not at EGX this year for the first time since 2018 and can’t help but feel a bit sad about it. It was a great opportunity to speak to other journalists but there’s very little reason to go with it now being absorbed by MCM. Really sucks because Develop now feels like the only UK event

Oh and it looks like the assault rifle doesn’t have the classic 60-round magazine with a high fire rate - smh literally unplayable
On the one hand, Halo CE is a good game and Campaign Evolved will be a nice excuse to play it again.
On the other hand, why does it need to be a near-soulless UE5 extended tech demo.

Also still baffles me that Halo 3 never got an anniversary makeover. The best one! And it’ll be 20 years old in less than two years!

Christ, I hope the Arrowhead devs that are ready to work the weekend are compensated adequately, and I hope even more that it doesn’t come to that at all. I get that Helldivers is in a rough spot but this sounds like some extreme community appeasement!
