“Look Daddy, it’s Mario and … thingy-io” - Alfie Driver, 2026.

You can't "fix" Starfield, but you can accept it for what it is: an extraordinarily ambitious game to squeeze out of the Morrowind engine that shouldn't work at all youtu.be/eCvjU8i_c-Y?...

Thing about April Fools day is it’s not just one day anymore. Instagram will be serving me shite for weeks. Time to get rid

Still thinking about how SHITE the name Neil Vana is. NEIL. VANA.

Wrote about how Nvidia's DLSS 5 is a slap in the face to the art of video game design. www.ign.com/articles/nvi...

Weekend plug: I'm on IGN now working with the brilliant IGN UK team to make features! Like this! About why this grand convergence of everything becoming Basically A PC is not what I want from consoles youtu.be/4zhXN0mOQqM?...

Jim hitting the ground running

I visited Paris to catch up with an old flame of mine, Rainbow Six Siege, and, yes, Solid Snake is now playable. Previously played Siege daily back in 2019, and Snake might be enough to convince me to jump back in, but for now, here's some gameplay I recorded! Also, GameSpot shot me 😢

People who see me buying flowers in a supermarket: “Bless him.” What I imagine they’re thinking: “Look at this PATHETIC freak who loves his Wife. LOSER”

Michael Cole: “ it’s now 2 AM!” Locals as WWE sets off the biggest fireworks show of all time

I got to play Resi Req for 3 hours and guess what, it’s fuckin’ class mate.

When Clair Obscur first came out I dismissed it as not for me. But here I am, six months later desperate to take on the final boss and find out what happens, but can’t because I’m a stupid old person who needs to get a good night sleep.

And if you're not familiar with Mr Gimmick, check out this fantastic video from @daledriver.bsky.social of IGN - it's what promoted me to buy the Sunsoft Evercade cartridge. youtu.be/rh6xqVvN6V4

Can’t believe they let us do this store.ign.com/products/ign...

Coming soon… #RTS

If you’ve finished Silent Hill f you need to watch this HOUR LONG deep dive by @zoedels.bsky.social. It’s fantastic. youtu.be/tWGfb9dicHU?...

Oh hey, my first proper video for IGN is live! Shout out to Bo and Dale for getting this one over the line in tight circumstances. youtu.be/PtF_fBErSyg?...

so much is bad right now but the AI stuff in particular is making me insane. a desperate attempt to smother all human creative labor at an absurd cost to the planet by some of the most short-sighted, rapacious, and pathetic people who have ever lived

I Am Jesus Christ. That's the name of the game we're playing today. bit.ly/4kYTwOm

Final finished Death Stranding 2. Here are some cringe words I never want to hear again: Ha and Ka DHV Magellan Ghost Mechs Ha and Ka Dooms Sufferer Quipu Ha and Ka Load of bollocks.

After a long time I’m playing Switch games again. Add me.

Severe case of Mario Kart thumb

I feel absolutely committed to 100%-ing Welcome Tour before even considering any significant Mario Kart time. Call me a freak if you must, but this shit is speaking to me.

I didn’t go to uni till I was 28, so I always assumed I’d be paying off my student loan into my 50s. Turns out today was the day instead. Best pay rise ever.

How many “We got Spurs winning a trophy before GTA 6” tweets are there gonna be tonight

Haven’t read this yet but hope it’s something dumb like “ we want our players to also be on the beach”.

I'm hiring a UK-based Features Editor on @gibiz.bsky.social. I fully intend to continue the site's long history of exceptional original features – come help me make it happen! Link here: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/42...

Can’t believe this stupid thing I made just got 1 million views. I don’t get to be as hands-on with video production anymore, but it’s nice to know I’ve (occasionally) still got it when I do. youtu.be/v-r_qqipZ7g?...

I know it’s not perfect, but I think Atomfall might be my favourite game of the year so far. Exactly what I was looking for.

Extremely well earned and well overdue. Jesse’s been killing it for a while now.

If you've ever wanted to listen to me and @daledriver.bsky.social waffle on for 45 minutes about cursed celebrity lookalikes, then boy, do I have the video for you. youtu.be/Ka6jfNnUucw?...

I’ve never been so excited to screen a video before. Watch it.

We did it. We have enough stories to make a gravedigger special for episode 800. This thing is actually happening. #RTGD

Hello, beautiful people 👋 I've returned to the IGN UK Podcast alongside Dale and Cardy to explain why Split Fiction is a fun time, and why dipping a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger into a Smarties McFlurry is an S-tier tactical decision... This is my job! Enjoy 👍 open.spotify.com/episode/03ta...

Atomfall gave me a cricket bat, so I decided to hit every head in Britain with it. My preview: www.ign.com/articles/i-w...

I can’t believe they let me do this. Watch the full video here - youtu.be/v-r_qqipZ7g?...

I’ve been covering WWE 2K25 all month for IGN First, but this is by far my favourite thing I made. Also stupidly proud of the thumbnail too. ign.com/videos/roman...

Got a lot of new followers recently and although that's nice you should also know you've unfortunately wasted your time. I'm outta gas, I'm Ian Beale, there's nothing left.

Still thinking about Steven Flowe…

That Hulk Hogan bit on Raw was so funny. Can't believe they didn't anticipate that reaction.
