Did a list. Some bloody good games on this one - some you might have seen, others overlooked.

The world seems like a load of shit right now, but I love being able to take the dogs for walks around a ruined monastery about 15 minutes from my house. 2026 feels like a "grateful for lucky things" kinda year

This is by far the best hockey jersey I've bought in years. Surface never, Vault forever.

£13 for this bundle is obscenely cheap. Hard recommendation from me for just three of the games, never mind all seven

I've had this one written for a while, but I finally got the chance to post it - my thoughts on MindsEye since its Update 7...

Who's got two thumbs, is rapidly balding, and can't operate heavy machinery this weekend?

You can tell you're on the knife-edge of 40 when you have the temerity to stand up like a normal person, only to throw your back out so badly that onlookers could only assume you're walking like you are because you've had an accidental gastric incident

I'm absolutely over the moon that this one is fully funded! Don't let that stop you topping it up though, as it's still open to backers until Saturday (February 28)

We finally watched The Long Kiss Goodnight. It's easily one of my new favourite action films. So many plot holes, surprisingly brutal, and absolutely insane. Hang it in the Louvre.

I fucking love a game with an achievement that's "on X level, kill 5 people with a sledgehammer". YES PLEASE

First weekend with half-decent weather = taking the dogs for a massive walk at a colourful ruin

My wife was at a loose end this weekend, so I bought her Super Mario Galaxy 1&2 because she's never played them (and I'm a great husband, obvs)

Wrote a quick thing about @taloketo.bsky.social and @king-spooner.bsky.social's Kickstarter hopeful Abide, which I can't stop thinking about. This one really deserves to hit its modest £25k target on KS (and it's nearly 70% of the way there) - give it a chance!

This week's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race UK vs the World is cinema, but I will say three spoiler-free things: 1️⃣ The quality of lip syncing has plummeted in the last three years; 2️⃣ The right person went home; and 3️⃣ Gawdland does my fucking head in

Our beautiful little man is 7 today! He's getting steak for tea, as is tradition - just like us making him wear his birthday hat every year

✅ Staying up for the Super Bowl for the 21st consecutive year ✅ 2,500-calorie pizza with cheesy bites ✅ £20 on the Patriots to win as I'm more than happy to pay that to see them lose

I love rocking up to my local garage, walking past the McLarens and Ferraris, then handing them the key to my 2016 Vauxhall Mokka because the wing mirror is fucked

I got the opportunity of a lifetime: reviewing MindsEye as a newbie after its apparent landmark seventh update. I've seen everything, obviously, but I never have skin in the game for things I've never played, so I'm genuinely excited at the prospect of trying this. Review in the next week or two

No actual spoilers, but... the Royal Rumble was really dull, right?

Hey look, it's the cutest little patootie ever committed to LEGO

Well, this is a fucking heartbreaking start to the weekend

You've got to love any gaming book where this is the chapter kick-off

There's a massive Beatles reference about 50 yards from my desk at work. It's Pablo Fanque's grave, and he's the man who inspired "Being for the Benefit of Mr Kite!" because he ran the actual circus to pay said Mr Kite. Not the best Beatles song, but easily one of the best song inspirations

Here's a flashback to 14 years ago, when my housemate fell out with another housemate, changed the Wi-Fi password, then filled the router with caulk. Simpler times.

I wish we could go back to a world where this was the biggest news story of the day

Once Upon a Katamari is SUCH a good game, and its soundtrack is off the charts. The fact that they got the San Francisco Boys Choir to record this song was incredible - I think it's the best in the whole series, especially how it's used in certain levels (FFWD to 3:56 if you don't believe me)

I love how Twitter blue-tickers are destroying the planet by endlessly posting images of two or more people and saying "grok remove X one", and then Grok doesn't remove the one they want it to, so they then argue with Grok - not an actual person - for 20 further tweets

We did a round of Sophie's Choice with Dougal's toys this weekend. Would you believe he wanted to keep all of them?

Can I just congratulate the esteemed "Filmogaz" on running my article through AI and getting to the top of Google

The second LEGO Zelda set has been announced! It's also a bit pricey. The jury remains out until I see it in person. Still, the Ganon model looks better than the Pikachu one from earlier this week

I'm one of the biggest fans of Thirsty Suitors, and I will literally drop everything in my life to play Dosa Divas from minute one. My review of TS here. What a game.

I live for stuff like this

Sunshine on Leeds

This is an absolute must-buy for indie game fans. Aaron's knowledge and passion show to the degree that I'm jealous I didn't write this myself first. Check out my review of 50 Indie Games that Changed the World here:

Slightly diminish a game: BioShock Finite

Let's be honest - the Pokémon Lego looks great, right?

I dunno about you lot, but I was gutted they voted my dog off The Traitors. "I have, and always have been... a good boy."

Another late night, another stumbling on Shaun of the Dead, so I guess we're watching Shaun of the Dead until 2am

I left Twitter in November 2024 and even that seemed too late. I just can't see why anyone with a moral conscience would still post there now, let alone pay for it. It's fucking embarrassing

I haven't properly enjoyed a game for fun in a long time, so I just picked up this fruity little number for the weekend. I can't believe it completely passed me by.

This is by far the best-looking handheld controller for the Switch/Switch 2 that I've seen in ages: swappable modules for GameCube, N64, fighting games, and even point-and-click. Superb stuff from @hyperkin.bsky.social and GameSir: (sorry, Forbes social cards don't work on Bluesky at the mo; link:)

At this point, GamePupper is as done with the holiday as we are

Happy Frozen Boiler Outlet Pipe Day to all who observe it 🎊🎉💃

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

Happy new year from these twerps, recreating the Do the Right Thing poster for 2026. Love to you and yours x

I love the Beastie Boys back catalogue, but nothing tops this for me

Hiya. I wrote one of three end of year pieces and here it is. Another two, er, next year. 12 Essential Multiplayer Games That Made 2025 Way More Fun: www.forbes.com/sites/mattga...

Today I learned that Googling Katamari Damacy offers you the option to roll a Katamari all over the results page. It's good stuff

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Merry Christmas and all that. Santa Paws got his annual walk to the pub, and all the fusses
