A generational masterpiece from @IOInteractive

My review of #007FirstLight is live on Serious/Gamer! Patrick Gibson shines as a brutal, rakish young Bond in a glob trotting, explosive and above all fun Secret Agent sandbox adventure.

I have no idea what is wrong with the basement dwelling toxic corner of the gaming community that you could look at this and think it is not Epic and want it in your veins tomorrow. Cannot wait to play this!!

I always wondered why @Bungie and @PlayStation never made a single player Destiny RPG. The assets, lore, items, skills, etc are all there. Live Service is hard. Just make a great story based game. Seems like low hanging fruit.

Umm @IMDb were you drunk when you wrote this shitacular article title??

Ahh modern gaming. When you preorder a PC game to have a physical copy and miss the fact they put a piece of paper with steam codes in a nice box. Lmao. #007 #007firstlight

It was an electric experience at the 2026 Canadian Game Awards. From Jennifer Hale & Mark Meer channeling their inner Commander Shepard to a historic, 7-trophy sweep by Compulsion Games' South of Midnight, it was an unforgettable night.

In Toronto for #XP26 and stayed at the Union Hotel and they had an event with Barn Burner whiskey. Open bar. Giveaways, engraved glasses. An amazing event. Serendipitous and so cool.

Holy smokes, I will be covering the @cgameawards this week in Toronto and I just now noticed that the one and only Commander Shepard @jhaletweets will be hosting alongside someone who was a variant Cmdr Shepard (I kid @Mark_Meer). Just Wow. Will be hard not to geek/fanboy out.
