Over last 16 years I've written for @NintendoLife, @PushSquare and Mean Machines Archive (@MeanMachinesMag RIP MMA). I'm nuts about retro games. Ears tuned to punk rock.

On Wed. 10th Dec. 2025, in Chris Joslin's "G-Ma" part released by Thrasher magazine, Joslin landed a tre flip as his ender down El Toro's legendary 20 stair set.
People are discussing Joslin as Skater of the Year (SotY), as it was a momentous moment in skateboarding.

Legacy of Kain: Defiance by Crystal Dynamics is my gaming choice for Halloween this year.
You start by controlling Kain, but you play as Raziel, as well as the vampire lord, later on.
The PS2 game from 2003 was included with PS Plus Premium in September 2025.

Ghost of Yōtei struck down on PS5 this month, so I thought it was a good time to return to Sucker Punch's inFAMOUS: Festival of Blood on PS3 -- 14 years after it originally released in October 2011.

I'm looking forward to Evercade's release of the Rare Collection 1 cart.
As well as ZX Spectrum, NES titles, and a Game Boy Color Conker game, it's cool the collection has a portable version of Rare's 1994 arcade Battletoads.
Pre-orders start 30th September.

I have just earned 39/39 Google Play Games Achievements, Ranked League Veteran, and unlocked BMW M8 Competition Coupé and BMW Z4 M40i cars in Race Max Pro.
Race Max Pro is my current most played Android mobile racing game, through playing it on both my phone and laptop, apart from Mario Kart Tour.
