@_boyMoon I'll do something on it tomorrow when the embargo breaks.

Just seen #DetectivePikachu Goes without saying it’s the best video game movie ever but it’s genuinely funny too and so many different Pokémon!

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

@eimearnoone @ClassicFM @jessicacurry2 Me too, which is always a problem when it comes to transcribing!

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

Had a very enjoyable chat with @ClassicFM presenter @eimearnoone about taking over from @jessicacurry2 for High Score and the problems facing women in the music industry for games and movies.

Really enjoyed meeting @gypsyOtoko and @tomqe again for more hands-on with #DevilMayCry5. V is a great new character and I had no idea he played so differently from the others, or that there were so many references back to the original DMC.

Loved playing through #RE2 remake for my review, it's a near perfect modernisation of the old classic that doesn't abandon what made the original great. I didn't even mind that the dialogue wasn't as cheesy as it used to be:

Had a fascinating chat with #MetroExodus writer and author @glukhovsky about not only his game but Soviet Russia, Brexit, and man's inhumanity to man.

I also ruined his lunch: https://t.co/sn2WbD0hYk

It was a great pleasure to meet @suda_51 and talk about his new game #TravisStrikesAgain #NoMoreHeroes. His enthusiasm for indie games was great to see and I can only hope his hints about a possible killer7 director's cut come true: https://t.co/5c31v0GNtM

A real pleasure to play Katamari Damacy again after all these years and the REROLL remaster for Switch is an impressive effort. I don't think @KeitaTakahash had anything specific to do with it, but it's great to have his classic back in the public eye: https://t.co/oH79dKWf69

@EuclidianBoxes You can unlock them from World of Light or from just playing normally. I did about half and half.

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

Never been a huge Smash fan before but #SmashBrosUltimate is excellent and the World of Light story campaign is one of the best single-player experiences I've had all year. The amount of content in the game is almost unbelievable: https://t.co/FYrpofrCca

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

@mizterzedd I'd swear it was official at the time but the wiki seemed very vague on the point.

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

@mch2010uk I would hope after this it isn't the future of Fallout.

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

Reviewing #Fallout76 has been a bizarre experience, given almost every aspect of it is broken or badly flawed. A tragic failure on the part of Bethesda and one I can't imagine them ever fixing to a satisfactory level: https://t.co/tTkVzF3LY1

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

I'm not usually the biggest Smash fan around, but I couldn't get enough of Super #SmashBros Ultimate when I got to play the almost finished version - including single-player World of Light - last week: https://t.co/IjTPbt1MHQ

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

Arceus help me, but I really enjoyed Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! It doesn't feel dumbed down at all, just calibrated for new players that only know Pokémon GO. And knowing we've got a mainline sequel next year that's something that should be welcomed: https://t.co/1gRx5KkbNA

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

I've spent almost two weeks now playing #RedDeadRedemption2, and despite a few quibbles I think for most people it is definitely going to live up to expectations. Here's my review: https://t.co/aDGWc2mYUm

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

Staying up till 4am playing #Fallout76 thankfully turned out to be a lot more fun than I was fearing. Although it's a shock to the system going from Red Dead Redemption II to this: https://t.co/bYjcFk5nhE

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

It's hard to imagine anyone playing #BattlefieldV just for the single-player, but my hands-on with it was very interesting, and I had a good chat with @EA_DICE afterwards about the difficulty of turning WWII into a video game: https://t.co/0hpQCoXQjX

[David Jenkins @DJGameCentral]

Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is the best game I've played in VR. A stunning achievement by Sony's Japan Studio and exactly the sort of thing you'd imagine Nintendo making if they had access to VR: https://t.co/ivOUj9KjNZ
