Zelda Day at TheGamer is officially in full swing! 💚🫶 I got to chat with Princess Zelda’s voice actor about everything from her super-secret audition to shaping Zelda into the incredibly hopeful, layered icon we know her to be today. The full interview . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁˖ . ݁ www.thegamer.com/zeldas-voice...

youtu.be/pc2NggI8drQ?... For @pcgamer.com , I wrote the script for this helpful video about Fortnite: Save The World! It was my first time doing scriptwriting and I had a blast with it (I also provided the footage, so you can see me suck at it.) Take a look!

I’m a fraud (rhythm-wise), but Dead As Disco is enabling my delusions anyway 😌💃 Here are my thoughts from my hands-on preview. @gepugg.bsky.social’s high score is safe… for now! www.thegamer.com/dead-as-disc...

this wikipedia editor is orbiting the moon right now!

this is such a wild image to come home to after sitting through the absolute slopfest that was the Mario Galaxy movie

Esoteric Ebb centres its entire identity and narrative around an upcoming election and ensures the player is politically informed, whether they like it or not. In a world where political participation is giving way to apathy, that's incredibly refreshing.

look what i found cleaning out some drawers 🫩

there's a new Diablo 4 expansion out this month, which means you can fall off the radar for a few weeks and then tell people "sorry, I've been fighting some demons"

💜 Fishbowl is out now. "The rare case of good pandemic fiction" -Polygon "A beautiful tale of overcoming and becoming." -ScreenHub "An emotional and relatable journey" -GameObserver "Fishbowl's story made me cry (and yes, that’s a good thing)" -ComicBook.com

I'm a little late sharing this one but I wrote about how not casting a trans actor to play Lev in HBO's The Last of Us isn't just a huge betrayal of that character's story, but a sad sign that it may not take its original form in the adaptation at all. >> www.thegamer.com/hbo-the-last...

Mario Wonder is one of my favourite Switch games, and it's even better on Switch 2 Read all about it in my review of the Bellabel Park expansion: www.thegamer.com/super-mario-...

Everybody's trying to be Fortnite and if you don't make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off, but it ends up even if you do make a Fortnite then everybody gets laid off

not the ipad kid habitat

The Crimson Desert metacritic score isn't a big deal, but that hasn't stopped the usual suspects from using it as a shiny new tool in a pointless online culture war. Some words on how this toxic discourse keeps on resurfacing again and again and again. www.thegamer.com/crimson-dese...

The movie version of Project Hail Mary is everything you hope it will be

Hollywood is in such great hands with Ryan Coogler in it. He is such a brilliant human.

This is the kind of dress where if she asked you to follow her into the woods, you’d just go - ya, ok. No questions. Love her.

This is the first year I watched every single Best Picture nominee before the ceremony - and my favorite, One Battle After Another, took the win. It makes the whole self-imposed cinematic homework assignment feel very worth it.

Gentle reminder that I'm always looking for work and you can absolutely pay me to write about Pokemon (and any other video game) for your website!

undertone is a dolby must, o brother where art thou is peak cinema, i’m a maggie gyllenhaal defender, and scream 7 sucked

Condor was easily the funnest, most interesting character in the game to play. A shame that’s going away.

Resident Evil: Requiem makes one thing clear: 40something is *too old* for a woman to be. Harper Jay MacIntyre's Mship debut! @dreamcastaway.bsky.social www.mothership.blog/resident-evi...

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando feels like someone turned an ’80s horror movie into a co-op zombie shooter and then poured synth music all over it. My review! .✦ ݁˖ www.thegamer.com/john-carpent...

It's here! This has been an utter joy to work on for Dragon Age 2's 15th anniversary. Huge thank you to David Gaider for taking me through how he and all of the writers managed to get this fan favourite story finished, with no time for redrafts www.thegamer.com/dragon-age-2...

Showing a trailer at The Game Awards these days is like taking a teaching job at Hogwarts in Defense Against the Dark Arts.

I interviewed Let It Die: Inferno director Hideyuki Shin about the game’s rocky launch and the gen AI controversy around it. I was able to press directly on why the team used AI for game assets, and what they say to players who feel it undermines creative work. www.thegamer.com/let-it-die-i...

I interviewed the Diablo 4 devs about the Warlock class and the pitch is basically: “what if the solution to demons… was more demons”. My full interview! ⋆˚꩜｡ www.thegamer.com/diablo-4-war...

Hey hey us lot at @thegamerweb.bsky.social have some cool stuff planned for Dragon Age 2's fifteenth (!) birthday this Sunday! Be sure to check that out!

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people. If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!

how is there even competition

Can't wait for the next season of White Lotad

So excited about the two new romance options in Stardew so I can carefully weigh my choices and then marry Sebastian for the 47th time.

I’m still conflicted about whether Life is Strange: Reunion bringing Chloe Price and Max Caulfield back together is the right choice or simply an attempt to capitalise on the nostalgia of a classic sapphic story. My full preview: www.thegamer.com/life-is-stra...

Demon Tides is one of my favourite platformers in recent memory, and one with some surprisingly grand ambitions that it absolutely lives up to - roll on Bubsy 4D! www.thegamer.com/demon-tides-...

Hi there! We're Booster Pack, a new site dedicated exclusively to trading card games that is officially launching today! boosterpack.site/booster-pack...

Now that embargos have lifted, I can talk about how busy January was for me. I basically soft-launched a California residency, survived on hotel coffee, and got to chat with some rad humans about cool things.

I reviewed High on Life 2! It’s surprisingly sharp on Big Pharma, still deeply unhinged, and occasionally more interested in yelling a joke than landing it, but I mostly had a good time. My full review ₊✩‧₊˚ www.thegamer.com/high-on-life...

For the first time since 2022, I’m over at @gamespot.com, discussing the 10th anniversary of Firewatch and hypothesizing about why games like this just don’t seem to break through anymore in the 2020s. www.gamespot.com/articles/fir...

my cat as jetpack cat (thanks to @hallafyre.bsky.social)

Romeo is a Dead Man reviews are all over the place, and that absolutely tracks. It's filled to the brim with odd moments and decisions. It's fun enough, but its frenetic and bewildering narrative choices made it hard to parse and difficult to score. More from me: www.thegamer.com/romeo-is-a-d...

I had the chance to sit down with Blizzard’s Hearthstone team to see how they reimagined Warcraft’s end-of-the-world storyline for the card game. The devs apparently love making us feel the end of the world. My interview ✧˚ · . www.thegamer.com/hearthstone-...

I went hands-on with Overwatch Season One at Blizzard HQ and played all five new heroes. Yes, Jetpack Cat is real. Yes, she rules. Here are my thoughts! ˚⟡˖ ࣪ www.thegamer.com/overwatch-se...

We're officially fundraising for laid-off Vox workers. Please share and donate if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/support-la...

This is my formal request for this to be a Fortnite skin.

I’ll say one thing, then I’m holstering the Highguard discourse: I love that it dares to do something distinctive in a genre that can be shoulder-to-shoulder with sameness. I’m having fun with it. What I don’t love is the internet’s reflexive pessimism, or its eagerness to point and laugh.

this isn't a defense of highguard but i'm not sure why people STILL post screenshots of a new steam game being Overwhelmingly Negative as if it's a self-explanatory red flag anymore when steam users will mass-reviewbomb games if a woman is wearing pants in them

I traveled to LA last week for a hands-on preview of Highguard. What I expected: another free-to-play shooter in a crowded genre. What I played: a uniquely fun PvP raid shooter, and one I couldn’t stop thinking about after. My full impressions ↓ ⋆·˚ ༘ * www.thegamer.com/highguard-sh...

I played four hours of Resident Evil Requiem and oh boy is it shaping up to be a banger. A real best of both worlds situation that combines the anxiety inducing horror of 7 with the balls-to-the-wall action of recent remakes. It strikes an ideal balance. www.thegamer.com/resident-evi...

Under all the mechanical violence, MIO: Memories In Orbit is a gentle game about caring for a broken world. It just makes you earn every feeling. My full review! ↓ ⋆｡°✩ www.thegamer.com/mio-memories...

My feed being full of Animal Crossing screenshots in the year 2026 feels both wrong and right
