I got to review Dying Light: The Beast, and as my intro to the series, I saw how fun its tried-and-true pillars can be, but the overall package left me feeling like nothing was gained from my time with it. Unless you're already a huge DL fan, it's an easy skip wccftech.com/review/dying...

A really excellent review. Just makes me more excited to jump into Silksong when I have the chance and see how my experience aligns/differs. Credit to @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social for killing it once again

The other day, I reached two fun numerical milestones from my time at Wccftech since starting on April 1, 2025. First, I reached what some would call the scary devil's number. But fret not, because soon after I reached the funny number that's not scary at all.

A 'Groundhog Day made more explicitly into a horror movie'-type game, Dead Reset, launched today. My review for it went live earlier this week, and while there's stuff here that I was able to get a lot out of, it was an overall lacklustre adventure. wccftech.com/review/dead-...

Hope everyone was able to do s’more relaxing with the Labour Day holiday today

Home for the next couple of days. Will be napping almost exclusively

I appreciate @digitalfoundry.bsky.social timing the music with the shots fired in the opening of its Gears on PS video

Fellow news writers who drew the short stick (or in my case the 'I have to renew my passport so I can't leave the country atm-stick), who didn't go to Gamescom and were instead at your computer writing everything up, what's your tally for posts this week? I hit 62 so far

Happy to be wrong and that it is arriving sooner. It looks dope af

Calling my shot 10 min before the Silksong presentation: October 17, 2025 release date on PC, Xbox, PS5, Switch/Switch 2.

The thing no one tells you about wanting to be a professional writer, no matter what kind of writing you do, is that you'll always have more to write. You're never done. There's always more. This is fine, and what you want actually, in one sense. And terrifying in another.

Yesterday was my birthday, and for the second time in my life, it’ll be followed by a funeral. I’ll miss you Nonna. ❤️

I remember when I started to notice brands and corporations sending birthday messages, and while I thought it was nice at the time (it’s still nice), now I can’t help but feel like it is just another layer of the negative parasocial relationship people have with corpos But thanks anyways, Nintendo

I hope that Battlefield 6 is able to stick the landing, would be nice to have a solid shooter to play again

I thought today was Thursday, and was elated to realize it is instead Friday. A good start to the weekend before it's even officially the weekend

You gotta admit it, right now is a good time to be a Blue Jays fan But I just hope that I can still say “it’s a good time to be a Blue Jays fan” in October

Step aside Tyler, today's work soundtrack is all Pikachu

If the music you make me sit through while my old ass PC takes forever to compile shaders isn’t something that’s good to listen to for 10min straight then the review is over before it begins

First Steps comes on my shuffle, and I feel rejuvenated

A massive thank you to @robyescombe.bsky.social for speaking to me last week to talk about The Invisible Hours and why he's looking to bring it to modern headsets and screens. You can check out our conversation here: wccftech.com/rob-yescombe...

You can't convince me there's such a thing as a smart billionaire. I don't really care how they got their money, if they were smart, they wouldn't be billionaires cause they would know that's unethical and stupid

A short story: Of course I'm the right person to run the new most important part of my dad's company at the most pivotal time in its history. No I don't have experience managing a company with the stakes this high, and yes, I've never had a job my dad didn't get me. Why don't you trust me?

It’s crazy how one sip of coffee is reviving me from a deep heatwave sleep

This part of the movie made me felt seen tbh

Superman was pretty sick

Did not expect to hear my name read out in one of these videos, appreciate the shout out and a special thank you to @andycortez.cool for not saying my last name like "casserole" www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkVZ...

"Just be an influencer" feels like the new version of "just make indie games" but for journalists and I hate it.

Superman is not only an immigrant allegory, but he is a straight up refugee. He has no native home to return to. It was destroyed due to neglect and willful ignorance. His parents sent him away knowing they would never see him again. I know the literacy rates are bad here, but come on yall. Please

Remember that time Arrested Development recut its first Netflix season into 22 minute long chronological episodes and it ended up being absolutely unwatchable because the source material was not designed to fit that format in the first place anyway

Someone change the passwords to Druckmann’s work accounts at ND, he must be stopped

My last five GOTYs 2020: Hades (HM: TlouPt2, Astro’s Playroom) 2021: Cyber Shadow (HM: Returnal, Death’s Door) 2022: Elden Ring (HM: Neon White, OlliOlli World, Rollerdrome,GoW: Ragnarok) 2023: Sea of Stars (HM: Lies of P, RE4 Remake) 2024: ER: Shadow of the Erdtree (HM: Astro Bot)

Yeah fr that showcase could have been an email

Did anybody at Bandai think about postponing today? The vibes are off and idk call me crazy but some trailers for elden ring on switch 2 or w/e is gonna be at this showcase do not stand a chance at turning the vibes around

Spencer's memo is the kind of shitty corpo speak you'd expect, but it also feels like a new low for corpo bullshit. In one line, he credits the "strength" of the gaming division to the "tough decisions" (i.e, previous layoffs), which is really just fake af -

The heatwave is cooking my brain but it’s actually just giving me a more immersive experience on Arrakis, so thank you global warming #DuneAwakening

Rematch is actually quite fun, it would be nice if it looked as good as it plays. Also if you’re out here replaying that prologue I don’t believe you wccftech.com/review/remat...

The least Bennet, Reinhart, and Marchand can do now is make sure we go home with gold in 2026, they owe us that much

My Steam Next Fest for June tldr is: play Morsels But if you want the long version, here are 7 other games that were also pretty cool wccftech.com/steam-next-f...

One element of the Dragon Age story that I want to emphasize: If the team had known in 2021 (after the single-player pivot) that they'd ship in Oct 2024, it'd be a much different game. Instead they were always under the impression they had to finish in 6-12 months, which led to all sorts of problems

Can someone tell IOI that I'd rather be watching the Oilers game and/or in bed than waiting to see if their stream will even work

My PS5's SSD just got 15.85GB lighter, will use this newly cleared up space to store photos of good-looking hats

This was the best announcement of the show and the only one where I stopped what I was doing and opened Steam to download the demo

This kinda shit fucking sucks. A source told me that when last month's layoffs happened, an internal blast was sent out with just a link to Bloomberg's report. At least Laura Miele sent an email this time

If Andrew Wilson can get paid that much for sucking so bad then there's hope for all of us

Happy to be on the right side of history with @shineyezehuhh.bsky.social, parrying rules

I know I'm late to the party on this but I would like my fellow Shoresy enjoyers to please set the tone so I can talk to someone about this show

Well that fucking sucked.
