I wrote a long and detailed breakdown of what the experience of reviewing a game is like. Hope to shine a light on unspoken aspects and eliminate misconception. gamerant.com/game-rant-re...

You can't take a two-year break and not come out swinging.

I know there was some hope of Kingdom Hearts 4 appearing at the State of Play this past week, but now is not the time. buff.ly/8HzMHV2

Never heard of this game until today but man it looks incredible gamerant.com/expedition-3...

What do you mean no streaming service has Pokemon: The First Movie?!

My flight was not cancelled 🤗

Look, I've been overcoming my fear and all that by traveling more, and I always say that each trip introduces me to a new quirk (layover, delays, reroutes). BUUUUUUT I would really like it if the government got its shit together so I don't get stuck away from home.

Last call for my son's Jog-A-Thon. No pressure but any bit helps his school fund classes like Art, PE, and STEM. www.getmovinfundhub.com/student-webp...

Best 2025 game to play on an airplane (Switch or PC handheld)?

I'm only two episodes in but Dispatch might be one of the best written/acted games I've ever played.

Finished Sword of the Sea this week. Beautiful design. Incredible music. Just a succinct piece of art. Highly recommend for the vibes alone.

I'm here to sing the praises of @ballxpit.com even more! gamerant.com/ball-x-pit-r...

I don't know how it would work but boy I would love to play Ball x Pit co-op with a friend.

You fools could have beaten Ball x Pit by now

New favorite PC gaming controller alert!

The PlayStation 5 Pro is the best way to experience console exclusives but the price increase and some problematic compatibility with third party games make it a complicated recommendation. I'm glad I have one though. gamerant.com/playstation-...

Got a fun one for ya! If you can guess 3 of my top 5 games of 2025, I’ll give one of the correct guessers a code for my number 1 game.

Ball x Pit is the perfect World Series in the background game

Playing Pokemon Legends Z-A highlighted how important voice acting is for the franchise's mass appeal. I hope Gen 10 adds it.

Keeper complete! It all came together so beautifully at the end. Artistic expression in this medium is so rare but the originality of everything in this game shows the potential of what games can be. Bravo to @doublefine.com

Brick or Treat!

I hope Grand Theft Auto 6 doesn't skip over an element of the game that I think showcases Rockstar's talent.

The new leveling update for Pokemon GO brought a ton of positives to the game, but it highlighted a problem that still plagues it to this day.

It's interesting. For me the new battle system in Pokemon Legends Z-A is more engaging and interesting. But for my son, who is new to the series, it is more challenging because he has to make quick decisions.

Anybody else’s knees sound like a bag of dice when walking down stairs. Or is it just me?

It is time!

I can't show my son this photo. The betrayal by Thanos!

I’ve always enjoyed the Pokemon games but Legends Z-A is a big one because it’s the first I can play with my son. This weekend we are going to be catching em all!

Got my first two finished runs of Hades 2 and I think that solidified this as my favorite of the two games.

He’s becoming trick shot obsessed

I kept waiting for the big rug pull in Peacemaker's Season Finale and it never came. Pretty disappointed with the episode, but I liked most of the season.

I feel like I have been drowning in excellent video games this whole year and there have been no opportunities to come up for air. It's a good problem to have, but I'd love to finish some of these games. lol

I know Hades 2 is the new hotness but don't sleep on Absolum. I've been obsessed with it for the last few weeks. It's a roguelike beat-em-up with beautiful art, satisfying combat, a killer soundtrack, and a very compelling loop.

Nerf means business these days

Even the AI email summary feels my pain

Our best card from the new Deluxe Ex set in Pokemon TCG Pocket!

It’s Jog-a-thon time! My son is gathering donations for his school in order to fund art, science, PE, and more. And in return he promises to run really fast!

Ghost of Yotei is drop dead gorgeous. Here’s the first hour! gamerant.com/video/ghost-...

The new Mega Evolution Pokemon TCG set has some of the prettiest cards. What did we pull in our massive unboxing?! Check the video to find out:

I can now say I was in Las Vegas for #CODNext! Got plenty of hands on time with Black OPs 7 multiplayer in a venue that was something else.

I sure hope Mass Effect 4 survives all this

A little desert excursion for #CODNext

Wolverine, GTA 6, Fable (maybe), and Judas (hoping) in 2026?! If ever there was a "I need to stay alive to experience this year's worth of games" situation. This is it!

Surprise! That visit to Paris was to play Pokemon Legends Z-A in the Eiffel Tower. What is my life?! buff.ly/LuKbzan

Well that's not good buff.ly/D7nE4bE

I love that Kojima is just like "I don't really have much of a game here, but I'm going to reveal what I can."

I want to like Hollow Knight Silksong more than I do. Too many frustrating design decisions hold it back for me.

Traveled across the Atlantic, flight diverted/delayed, expensive Uber home, awake for more than 24 hours, and it’s raining out of nowhere BUT I’m home!

Flight home is getting diverted to Las Vegas because my home airport had an emergency. Not the news you want to hear after an 20-hour travel day.
