Up today at GameCritics.com, fighting maestro Darren Forman reviews Dead or Alive 6: Last Round. It's unclear why this remaster/refurb has appeared seven years after the original, but it doesn't bring much to the table despite the effort to make it happen. gamecritics.com/darren-forma...

Up at GameCritics.com, Eugene Sax spotlights Scramble Star Crossing, from @dusksharp.bsky.social. This game was featured in the recent Black Voices in Gaming showcase & this video first-look examines the Puyo puzzle-like gameplay set in the context of being a pastel-colored interstellar sport!

"We hired people who leapt at the chance to be first in line to outsource their own brains, and it turns out that's not a great idea! WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED"

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

Up today at GameCritics.com, Stephen Cook has a review of Schrodinger's Cat Burglar. This feline puzzler features a cat that can split itself into two, each helping the other as they try to escape from a lab. The best part? it can be played solo or with a friend! gamecritics.com/stephencooke...

The White House is openly saying they want to eliminate a minority group and people still want to say this is about sports.

games have been huge success. thats why we're firing every one who makes games. also we are going to make it so players can no longer buy games

Buy this, it is certifiably awesome!!

Also up at GameCritics.com today, Jack Bray reviews 007: First Light. This new adventure focusing on James Bond's earliest days and how he became the iconic superspy offers a blend of Hitman and Uncharted -- but does it work? gamecritics.com/gc-staff/007...

"Weird Al" Yankovic has always been a real one. Just learned that he very recently turned down "a nice pile of money" to shill for A.I. Damn right he did. @alyankovic.bsky.social www.syracuse.com/entertainmen...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Eugene Sax offers up a video preview of T.W.I.R.L., an oddly-named horror title with an interesting aesthetic. gamecritics.com/eugene-sax/f...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Eddie Guo previews Dead as Disco, in Early Access. This 3D brawler blends music and rhythm to create a fighting experience like any other. And with more content coming as it develops? Looks like a real winner-in-the-making here. gamecritics.com/gc-staff/pre...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Ali Arkani covers Super Meat Boy 3D and finds that this masocore platformer retains much of its original gitgud energy, but moving it into all three dimensions is a problematic choice. gamecritics.com/ali-arkani/s...

Breakfast!

A Trans woman in Kansas changed her license to M because of the gender marker ban passed earlier this year. She gets pulled over and they didn't believe the license was hers. They later charge her for driving with an invalid license. She complied with the law and was still charged criminally.

Bungie leadership probably should have let people who actually understand the gaming community and trends make the decisions. Hell, they couldn't even land on "maybe let's make our game approachable for new players."

My favorite poster artist did this custom Inhumanoids piece for me. He did a killer job!! Fuck AI -- support real artists!!

Up today at GameCritics.com, André Pedro covers Scriptorium: Master of Manuscripts and finds it to be a wildly bizarre and inventive experience that plunges the player headlong into the medieval world of marginalia. gamecritics.com/andrazevedop...

Also up at GameCritics.com today, new writer Michaela El-Ters offers up thoughts on Mina the Hollower, and its success in blending elements of Zelda and Souls to create something retro-yet-new, and entirely awesome. gamecritics.com/gc-staff/min...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Eugene Sax has a video quick look at Poly Fighter - a Steam Next Fest demo that combines fighting and roguelikes. Is it a chocolate + peanut butter situation? gamecritics.com/eugene-sax/f...

Also up at GameCritics.com today, @baxnalley.bsky.social reviews Causal Loop. This sci-fi adventure manages multiple versions of yourself to accomplish things you can't do alone. Unfortunately, most of what you accomplish is pushing buttons... gamecritics.com/ryan-nalley/...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Breton Campbell covers Kumitantei: Old School Slaughter and finds that this heavily-inspired-by-Danganronpa fan-flavored visual novel does a fantastic job of carrying on that legacy. gamecritics.com/bretoncampbe...

This game was like a cozy cup of tea on a rainy day. It was relaxing, moving, and I became engrossed in the lives of each of the people that came into the peaceful little nook in chaotic Tokyo. Read my review below!

Up today at GameCritics.com, writer @rorenado.bsky.social covers Coffee Talk Tokyo. The third entry in this cafe-based urban fantasy series focuses on conversation and connection -- something we could all use more of these days. gamecritics.com/rorenado/cof...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Ali Arkani covers Uprising, the last DLC for Terminator: Dark Fate This RTS offers a lot for fans of the base game, pitting them against Skynet & human factions. Despite a few odd design choices, it's sure to satisfy. gamecritics.com/ali-arkani/t...

This is a *preposterously* good deal

The games industry cannot say Stop Killing Games makes things unworkable while the games industry keeps making games unplayable. This is literally just Square Enix going "ah, we'll make them buy it again". support.na.square-enix.com/news.php?id=...

Up today at GameCritics.com, guest writer Adam Sharman offers a second opinion on News Tower, the indie paper-running sim. It may be a bit of a grind at times, but the presentation and building of an empire are sure to win over sim fans. gamecritics.com/gc-staff/sec...

Revealing Signet City is a slightly vertigo-inducing experience because it's been hanging around a long time just waiting for me to let it back out to wreak havoc...

This might be the best video ever

I didn't have $550,000 for a #SummerGameFest Trailer so I'm posting my Vampire SoulsVania game where your attacks cost life and drinking the blood of your enemies heals you here instead for free! #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame

Watching Project Hail Mary and it's sad that the most far-fetched aspect of this sci-fi movie about going to another star is that the people of Earth would ever work together to save the planet. We're facing a similar sort of disaster right here, right now, and doing fuck-all about it.

Up today at GameCritics.com, André Pedro reviews The Abbess Garden. This indie about a nun renovating a garden in the shadow of political events has a strong premise at the core but fails to deliver on both gameplay and narrative. gamecritics.com/andrazevedop...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Ben Schwartz reviews Bubsy 4D and finds that Atari's choice to hand the reins over to a proven indie developer was the right one. gamecritics.com/ben-schwartz...

Up today at GameCritics.com, Jeff Ortloff reviews Mutant Football league 2. It's fun to take American football and mix it up with zombies, goblins and all-new, all-fatal rulesets, but this game fumbles with a wealth of bugs and some questionable writing. gamecritics.com/jeff-ortloff...

No idea what is going on, but I'm finding more often than not when I call a restaurant to order food for pickup, they simply answer "Hello?" And then I say "Is this the restaurant??" And then they say yes. Like, does no one understand how to answer the phone at a business anymore?
