Couldn’t be happier or more grateful to say I’m in this latest book from the geniuses at @lostincult. The editors let me write about a weird game, and do something a bit different. I hope you Mvania fans love it.

[James Tocchio @JamesAtCP]

Almost everything they highlighted in today's show was like a shinier, prettier PS3 era game. I love that era, but game's need to evolve to be interesting and relevant. We can't keep playing God of War for 30 years, which itself is just Golden Axe. Sony, look at indie games.

[Victor Lucas @Victor_Lucas]

Pssst… PlayStation…. Don’t be afraid to get weird and experimental again. And please make new Ape Escape and PaRappa The Rapper games. Surprise us with your quirk and your sense of fun. First party doesn’t have to just be risky, big bet, grand slams.

[James Tocchio @JamesAtCP]

This is great.

They say that if you close your eyes and keep them shut, it's impossible to stay awake for more than seven minutes. I'm not sure if that's true, but I know it took less time than that for Dream Hackers VR to convince me I was playing something special.
