Always cool to see quotes or review scores you’ve provided make it into official marketing.

Only happened a few times thus far in the couple months I’ve been doing this, but I don’t think it’ll get old ☺️

[Order of the Sinking Star @SinkingStarGame]

Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam & critically acclaimed! 🧩

We couldn't have done this without you! As a huge thank you, we’re partnering with @PMStudiosUSA to bring physical editions of Order of the Sinking Star to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027 💿 🌟

Just when I thought I couldn’t despair any more at the state of the industry.
Chastise the output of recent BioWare all you want, but still… this really, really hurts.

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. https://t.co/suZD0eRvG1

@MrBadBit @mrpyo1 Get Ember Lab on a Jak and Daxter reboot/Precursor Legacy remake STAT

[Samuel Heaney @SamHeaney]

Not really any great news in this article, I must admit.

Still hope Xbox somehow navigates back to relevance and competitor status, but I continue to have very little confidence they’ll be able to meaningfully, tangibly do so.

As Xbox CEO Asha Sharma works to revitalize the storied gaming unit, the question remains: Can an industry outsider restore Xbox to its former glory, and under what structure? https://t.co/7rYNrBJOhi

Absolutely loved what I’ve seen thus far of El Paso, Elsewhere 2. It seems set to be an improvement over the original in all the ways that matter. A more stylish, fine tuned, chaotic, and potently introspective ride. I can’t wait. @StrangeScaffold

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox.

By the way this means Day 1 dies.
Which it needs to, regardless.
But if you’re cheering for this as an Xbox fan, know what you’re signing up for - paying a la carte for every single game. No more freebies.
Oh & tens of millions of people have to buy each & every one.

NEW: Microsoft surveys ask players how they’d feel if Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or Minecraft became Xbox‑only.

It’s a hypothetical, but a bold one (especially for franchises with massive cross‑platform histories).

This could be Microsoft testing the waters for future strategy.

Had a great time in a hands-off preview of There Are No Ghosts at The Grand last week.
There’s some room for improvement, but the ideas and genres it’s blending is dripping with potential and, especially as a Brit, I can’t wait to dive in.

I’m back at it like a bad habit.
Echo Weaver is a great game that’s hamstrung a little by some design choices. While the experience was a bit messy, I can’t pretend I didn’t have a wonderful time each time I reset and was sent out into the world anew.

Hey… that’s my writing in the Yotei Complete Edition accolades trailer. Quite the first; this is pretty damn cool. Thanks @SuckerPunchProd!

@SinkingStarGame 9/10 from GamingTrend. Loved (loving) the game!
