Hello. My name is Simon, and I write articles and produce videos about games, movies, and TV. Sometimes, they're even interesting to read and watch.

Settled in. Finishing touches to go.

Talked to the Call of Duty team about generative AI back in August.

Disappointing to see more of it pop up in Black Ops 7. Seems more than "streamlining" to me at this point.

When we first started making the My Best Shots series, Edgar Wright was one of the filmmakers I wanted us to sit down with the most. Very pleased we got to make it happen here.

The iconic voice behind Commander Shepard, Jennifer Hale, hasn’t been asked to return for Mass Effect 5, but “would be there before they finish the sentence” if asked. https://bit.ly/4hwvB96

Beautiful new limited edition 4K release of The Florida Project - still Sean Baker's best film in my opinion.

Another great review from @skillup.bsky.social here, and not just because he happens to agree with pretty much everything I said.

Finished Hades 2 and launched straight into Ball X Pit because I hate having free time apparently

Sifting through decades-old boxes of DVDs ahead of a move in search of anything worth any real money.

Nothing says hitting your 30s like selling full seasons of 24 boxsets and copies of Dodgeball and The Hangover for 10p a pop to fund just one Criterion Collection 4K.

Two of my favourite shots from cinema history. The images that build a bridge between The Godfather Parts 1 and 2.

Those films would simply hold far less feeling without Diane Keaton in them. Irreplaceable.

I think that's enough of that for one day

Reviewed the Battlefield 6 campaign. It's flashy at times with some solid gunplay, but beneath it all, it's just criminally dull.

Battlefield 6 Campaign Review - IGN
Battlefield 6's campaign is a safe, dull reimagining of what the series once was, rather than a bold reinvention of what it could be.

Went to Seoul a couple of weeks ago to check out Crimson Desert for this month's IGN First!

We'll have plenty more new gameplay and developer insights coming throughout October.
