I reviewed Reanimal for @ign.com and tried to grapple with its themes and narrative structure without giving too much away. Very proud of this one.

Mewgenics has sold over 150,000 copies in the first 6 hours, and the developer has said, "This is beating expectations by quite a lot." https://bit.ly/4tB6ozV

Very glad Dan was able to come back to review Mewgenics as a freelancer, and loved that we were able to chat about it at the end of the video review!

I told you I’d be back! Over the past month I’ve put more than 150 hours into Mewgenics and loved just about every minute of it. It really is a fantastic tactical RPG roguelike - and the soundtrack is exceptional, too. www.ign.com/articles/mew...

Excited to say I've been promoted to Associate Reviews Director at IGN! I'm now formally running the game reviews show from top to bottom. As someone who grew up wanting to review games while reading stuff like IGN, Nintendo Power, and Game Informer, it's quite a surreal place to have found myself!

My first video game review over on IGN!

@maro254.bsky.social Came across a silly Un question while building a Cube: With Icing Manipulator, do +1/+1 counters enter AS Food, or are they not Food until they are on your creature? More specifically, would Displaced Dinosaurs make them 7/7s? CC: @gavinverhey.bsky.social @wotcmatt.bsky.social

I had the great honor of doing this year’s IGN Awards art direction and I’m super happy with how they turned out! I went for a Y2K sci-fi aesthetic with holographic stickers and all. More to come throughout the week!

Behold: the two most irresponsible upgrades I have made to my unsleeved, old-border-only Urza deck yet. Just got these entirely on trade and I am so excited.

I recently spoke with Samus herself, Jennifer Hale, and got to the bottom of a Metroid mystery. www.ign.com/articles/met...

I also recorded the VO for the video version if that’s more your cup of tea! Huge thanks to @tomrmarks.bsky.social for the edits and support on this one! www.ign.com/videos/horse...

I reviewed Horses for @ign.com! www.ign.com/articles/hor...

You've been waiting eight, or even 18 years to hear this: Metroid Prime 4 is great. My review is up now, on @ign.com!

I reviewed Marvel Cosmic Invasion for @ign.com. Reckon I'll be on the lower end of the scale, but I think has the juice when it comes to the brawls even if everything else is a little more standard than I'd like. Also, the Silver Surfer has an ass that would make Pacino do that scene from Heat.

My parents bought me a Black Lotus for Christmas.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

Kirby Air Riders is such an improvement from the original, it feels like jumping from Smash 64 straight to Ultimate with no sequels in between. It’s a great Sakurai game, packed with content, unlockables, customization, and tons of little details. My review is up now, on @ign.com!

We push back on embargoes we find unreasonable a lot more often than y'all ever hear about. Sometimes that results in changes, sometimes it doesn't – but I'd always rather be late with a review I am proud of than early with one that's PR approved.

Nintendo’s embargo for Age of Imprisonment stipulated that reviews could not cover ANY non-public story details. None. Avoiding spoilers or surprises is one thing, but we simply could not agree to such a broad restriction, so we decided to hold our review until launch. ign.com/articles/hyr...

Truly frustrating that bad faith chuds are immediately going to take a victory lap claiming that we "swapped reviewers" because of all of the vitriol they threw our way, when in reality they were getting mad over a PREVIEW and Travis has been assigned to do the actual review for a month.

I’m reviewing ARC Raiders (@arcraiders.bsky.social), and am loving it so far! Still a ton to play before I can slap a score on it, but it makes a great first impression. www.ign.com/articles/arc...

My review of Europa Universalis V is up! This is a game that knows its for sickos and caters to sickos (and aspiring sickos) almost exclusively, but if you're the kind of person who thinks they would enjoy it, I think you'll be pleased. It is a bit underbaked though. www.ign.com/articles/eur...

Y’all ever Channel to pay 20 mana for Securitron Squadron and then swing with Jacked Rabbit? (With a cameo from The Initiative.)

My #MTGxATLA spoilers are now live, with a first look at all 6 cards from the "Tea Time at the Jasmine Dragon" Scene Box (plus 2 more from the bonus sheet)! www.ign.com/articles/ava...

I don't think this is what folk typically expect from an IGN review, but Will is great at what he does! I appreciate that he can artfully tell you how he personally connected with a game while still communicating what it's like to actually play and why that all matters. www.ign.com/articles/bou...

I reviewed Bounty Star for @ign.com. It is the most personal review I've written in a long time (maybe ever) and I'm very proud of it. It would mean a lot to me if you read it. Full disclosure: I talk about being suicidal for two years in the opening because I had to. This one hit me pretty hard.

@tomrmarks.bsky.social hoping I wasn't the only one who thought of this with the bowtie. (I may be able to decently match a font, but I can't doodle a beard to save my life)

Deleted the original post because it's not worth dogpiling on a thing that's being resolved, but it sounds like this was just a bad decision someone made that they have now acknowledged and addressed - so kudos to that!

Credit where it's due, I truly appreciate the quick action here, but given there is literally a custom note in the review summary explaining what was done, it does not seem possible that this was simply a scraper error with no human edits.

🌈✨🌹🦅NEW REVIEW🌊🚧🗻🪑 I reviewed Once Upon A Katamari for @ign.com Watch here: youtu.be/taKegEXd9OU?... Or read here: Once Upon A Katamari Review - IGN share.google/Q8HNuiMhyqDT... Thanks @tomrmarks.bsky.social for the edits and @chrisdelpadre.bsky.social for cutting the video so well!

My review in progress for Dispatch is live on @ign.com! My full review will arrive once the series is out in a little bit, but so far I’m having a great time! Cc @adhocstudio.com www.ign.com/articles/dis...

Some people are claiming this is AI generated, so I just want to confirm that this is indeed a real and legitimate IGN review.

have a scored review, as a treat: www.ign.com/articles/pok...

I reviewed Jurassic World Evolution 3 for IGN! I'm a big fan of the series and this one really scratches that management sim itch. But with dinosaurs. www.ign.com/articles/jur...

For IGN: I checked out the new Double Dragon and... maybe you can skip it www.ign.com/articles/dou...

One of them busy weeks.

My policy has always been that I would rather take the time to make a better review that doesn't burn out my writers than rush to hit an arbitrary marketing beat a publisher didn't actually give us enough time to meet. In that context, it's not a hard decision.

guys i have amazing news about the new pokemon game: i think it's pretty good www.ign.com/articles/pok...

Can someone please explain to me why literally every video game in existence is launching on October 23rd

I revisited Yooka and friends with Yooka-Replaylee, and it's definitely an improvement, but also still quite an antiquated, flawed game. For context, I would have scored the original a 4/10. Check out my full review, via @ign.com: www.ign.com/articles/yoo...

New Review! 2XKO has sunk its hooks into me. Super fun characters, excellently designed mechanics, and welcoming to newcomers while still being fiercely technical at higher levels. www.ign.com/articles/2xk...

The schedule for the trans lifeline fundraiser is up, and we have a stacked lineup! To get questions set up for our two amazing panels, I'm personally matching the first 1000 dollars donated before the stream (which Hasbro will then match), so use the link below to donate now! tilt.fyi/Jr23vhNVE6

Last night’s old-school vintage cube draft went about as well as it could.

btw i reviewed Ghost of Yotei, great game! story's a lil predictable but Atsu rules and has some memorable and heartfelt moments. fantastic combat system, so damn fun to play. good that it does away with the samurai glazing too. 📰: www.ign.com/articles/gho... 📺: youtu.be/OXOuyNDe-pI

I went so crazy Doug Bowser quit.

I AM GOING ROGUE DON'T TELL LOGAN In a clearly deranged power trip, I have swapped half the cast and replaced the entire run-of-show with an extended segment on indie games. Not sure how much time we'll have, but anyone have any asks for Question Block?

So glad we were finally able to get Len on for a post-review chat, and this was certainly a perfect one to start with!

To the shock of no one, Hades 2 is absolutely spectacular. It took one of the best action games of all time and knew exactly where to add, where to remix, and where to keep things the same. Also featuring a short interview about my personal criteria for a 10/10 game. www.ign.com/articles/had...

I reviewed Baby Steps (@babystepsgame.bsky.social), an intentionally infuriating walking simulator, and it has inexplicably become one of my favorite games of 2025. Check out my review, where I do my best to…explicastrate, via @ign.com: bit.ly/3IBbut3
