There's currently an exodus to the other site, and I was already getting tired of being here thanks to the ads, bots and Worst Opinions in the World being amplified constantly, so I'll likely be going with them

Bobthepetferret on the butterfly place. You know what to do

NEW GAMES!

Game of the Week goes to the beautiful Neva, while Mario Party is back to ruin your friendships

All this and more here: https://t.co/lOeTtfjwly

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

Forgot to share this earlier, but let it be known that Neva got a rare 9/10 from me. Absolutely beautiful game

NEW GAMES!

A return to Silent Hill and at least 20 Gokus, along with the latest Game of the Week, Metaphor: ReFantazio! It's the newest games roundup!

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

Wake up, the best Tomb Raider game is getting remastered (as is the worst, but maybe they can fix it?)

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

I've seen what gets said on fan subreddits. There is no way this won't be an absolute disaster.

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Studios are assembling superfan focus groups to assess various materials for a franchise project to avoid social media backlash.

“They will just tell us, ‘If you do that, fans are going to retaliate’ … If it’s early enough & the movie isn’t finished yet, we can make those kinds of changes.”

NEW GAMES!

FINALLY Zelda gets to be the main playable character in a game that wasn't made for the Philips CD-i! And of course, it's Game of the Week!

See what else is out this week here: https://t.co/ehhIm6hCLU

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

It's kind of astounding to me how many people are saying "man I hope Jin Sakai makes an appearance in this game set 400 years after his lifetime"

He's called The Ghost but he's not literally a ghost

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

This is simultaneously the weirdest and also most logical direction the series could have gone

I love it

[RGG Studio | Like a Dragon & Yakuza Series @RGGStudio]

Aye! It be a modern-day pirate adventure with Goro Majima as the captain🏴‍☠

🧭 Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii sets sail on Feb 28, 2025

It be full speed ahead on digital & physical pre-orders, ye scurvy dogs 🌊 What are ye waitin' fer?

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

Oh hey! It's the second year of the Birmingham Anime Film Festival! Please come along if you can! We've got some great stuff planned for you!

[baff.uk @baff_uk]

Today's the day! Our first screening is #MindGame at @mac_birmingham

Limited tickets still available

https://t.co/kVdFO4Doyw

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

I got to review The Plucky Squire for Siliconera! I really enjoyed it, even if I did feel a little like they didn't let you play with the concept as much as I would have liked

https://t.co/wUoa74pVMq

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

Meanwhile, I wouldn't be surprised if Ben Starr is eagerly willing the most offensive and inappropriate things done to Clive into existence

[Eurogamer @eurogamer]

Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida has asked fans to not mod "anything offensive or inappropriate" into the PC release of the game. https://t.co/o7GzpUAOqo

[Geeky Brummie @GeekyBrummie]

NEW GAMES! (from the Games Release Roundup from @TheCheapFerret)

Our latest Game of the Week presents a horrifying vision of a decaying, miserable UK and also there are Space Marines and naughty party games. Not all at once, sadly.

https://t.co/B9TUuO0e7m

[baff.uk @baff_uk]

Why should you watch #FinalFantasyVII Advent Children? @TheCheapFerret delves into the movie follow up to one of the greatest video games of all time

https://t.co/k5ySj7whI6

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

While banning katanas we're also going to use music that makes them sound cool as shit

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

🚨 Ninja swords are used by criminals to rob victims of their lives.

There is only one course of action:

✅ Remove knives from the streets
✅ Tougher consequences for criminals
✅ Save lives

NEW GAMES! (Games Release Roundup from @TheCheapFerret)

I was late posting this but I am deep in the world of Astro Bot right now so that's why. Which is convenient because it's my Game of the Week!

https://t.co/0hZbysJM6S

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

Well Astro Bot sure did not disappoint. It's an absolute delight so far.

[Leigh Price @TheCheapFerret]

Just fyi, Amazon's largely forgotten Crucible lasted a month. I think Concord's shutdown is a new record

[Wario64 @Wario64]

Concord is going offline beginning September 6th https://t.co/1FLhWv8sxb

"However, while many qualities of the experience resonated with players, we also recognize that other aspects of the game and our initial launch didn’t land the way we’d intended. Therefore, at this time, we have decided to take the game offline beginning September 6, 2024, and explore options, including those that will better reach our players.

While we determine the best path ahead, Concord sales will cease immediately and we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased the game for PS5 or PC. If you purchased the game for PlayStation 5 from the PlayStation Store or PlayStation Direct, a refund will be issued back to your original payment method.

Customers who purchased from other digital storefronts will also be refunded. More information about refunds from Steam and Epic can be found below:"
