Our latest entry in the Backlog Bandits series. Here are the video games that are up next on our list....when we have time to get to them: invertedcontrol.substack.com/p/backlog-ba... #VideoGames #Gaming

Mariachi Legends is hitting #Xbox GamePass this year?! Big news. Can't wait to play that game. Didn't realize it was coming so soon.

The indie space has been KILLING it for years now. So much good stuff to play.

If you’re a fan of JRPG’s and you’ve never checked out I Am Setsuna you definitely need to ❄️❤️🌨️🎮 @square-enix-games.com

How's everyone doing handling their backlog. Just took a look at my list and had to shake my head lol. So much to play. #VideoGames #Gaming

A new James Bond adventure is upon us because 007 First Light launches next month! Ahead of its release, check out our exhaustive timeline of the James Bond video game franchise. You Only Live About 30 Times: gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Invincible VS releasing on 4/30 after a super-successful fourth season on Amazon Prime is fantastic timing. Can someone say....SYNERGY!? #Invincible #Gaming #FightingGames

Random thought. We need another TMNT beat-em-up game, but with the four new turtles from The Last Ronin universe.

There are a LOT of great smaller titles on this list. Several that we're looking forward to. Especially Alabaster Dawn: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vFf... #Gaming #VideoGames #IndieGames

Pearl Abyss awarding its staff bonuses that equate to a $2.5 million payout is a big deal and should be lauded from the heavens. Especially in today’s gaming climate. #CrimsonDesert #VideoGames #Gaming

Barret at @kindafunnyvids.bsky.social Dropped an interesting video that you wouldn't expect to see from games industry media today. Another reason why that outlet is among the best going right now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jfl... #Gaming #VideoGames #Politics #Culture

There’s a pun in People of Note that legit caused this reaction lol #PeopleOfNote

#ForzaHorizon6 is the next major title of the year and it's a can't miss experience for racing game fans and casual players alike: invertedcontrol.substack.com/p/forza-hori... #Gaming #Forza6

Xbox chief Asha Sharma also mentioned during her all-hands yesterday that the teams are meeting daily on Project Helix, and that there will also be biweekly Xbox Series S/X console updates until end of the year. The reinvestment in Xbox OS is very interesting.

#Xbox had quite the message for everyone in the games industry. open.substack.com/pub/inverted... #VideoGames #Gaming

Del Walker drops another great video. This time he covers the topic about game trailers releasing early and why: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlqC... #VideoGames #Gaming

Seeing #Saros getting strong reviews is exciting. Another big game to play in what has been a packed 2026. Love it!

This is excellent. The read on the current market is spot on. The goals are made clear, and the tactics laid out. It's no guarantee for success, but it does set a strong foundation and a vision for the future. news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/0...

What. A. Week. Congratulations to our friends PRAGMATA, Windrose, and Replaced for the launch of your games! MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is proud to share the spotlight with you all 🔦

Didn’t know the creator of Double Dragon passed earlier this month. That’s a classic series in gaming. RIP to Yoshihisa Kishimoto. 64 is way too young. #Gaming #VideoGames #DoubleDragon

Double Dragon creator Yoshihisa Kishimoto dies, aged 64 | more on EuroGamer. 📡🕹️ #Gaming #News #VideoGames https://go.vyto.uk/b916d19

I work at Kotaku now! :) You can go watch back today's KFGD to hear me talk about it a little if you want. You could also read my alma mater @gibiz.bsky.social to learn more! www.gamesindustry.biz/kotaku-hires...

People of Note is a fun title from Annapurna Interactive that is packed with interesting gameplay elements and musical puns: invertedcontrol.substack.com/p/people-of-... #VideoGames #PeopleOfNote #AnnapurnaInteractive #VideoGameReviews #Gaming

Great article. It’s especially frustrating being in games (often a white space with a white audience) and having folks attribute linguistic disconnects to not being online enough or young enough when it’s really a lack of understanding of Black slang and/or AAVE.

GREAT Game!

#CallofDuty movie drop date? So.....basically more American war propaganda huh?

Official trailer for #StreetFighter has dropped. Looks like the perfect mix of action and shenanigans. youtu.be/Xt4X4FvXk2A?...

#Forza6 is NEXT MONTH!?!? Knew it was coming but didn't realize it was that soon.

#Mixtape looks like a game for those of us who spent hours making mixtapes, burning CDs, and it's exactly what we need. Looking forward to this one: invertedcontrol.substack.com/p/mixtape-a-... #VideoGamePreviews #Gaming

Happy National Anime Day! A) I should not have to work today. B) I should probably put on some anime.

Dead as Disco looks like a mix of Hi-Fi Rush, Sifu, and Furi. It looks amazing. Can't wait for this to drop.

Ok...Dead as Disco!?! This looks FUN www.youtube.com/watch?v=_23F... #VideoGames #Gaming #DeadAsDisco

Mouse PI for Hire (80) and Replaced (79) have some strong reviews. Love to see new games and IPs getting positive attention. #VideoGames #Gaming #Replaced #MousePIforHire

Mouse: P.I. For Hire's smart, humorous writing and enigmatic characters play into hardboiled fiction cliches in amusing ways that kept me hooked throughout the dozen or so hours it took to reach its high-stakes finale. Our review: gameinformer.com/review/mouse...

If any recent release should get a sequel, it is certainly Hi-Fi Rush: invertedcontrol.substack.com/p/the-case-f... #VideoGames #Opinion

The rhythm-based RPG People Of Note emphasizes how independent developers have revolutionized the rhythm game. www.avclub.com/rhythm-games...

The Octopath series has an underrated soundtrack. Especially the last title.

Which is, I suppose, how I say that I am leaving IGN. It has been a joy and an honor and I am genuinely so, so sad to go. This was probably the hardest career decision I've ever had to make. BUT. I am not going far at all.

So honored to have reviewed People of Note from @annapurna.com and @iridiumstudios.bsky.social with a special cast, awesome gameplay, and amazing music! So pleased to award it our Editor’s Choice Award! PLAY IT TODAY!! #peopleofnote

People of Note is getting some good reviews. Going to pick that up after this weekend's quick vacation. #PeopleOfNote

Working on a Late Homework Assignment review. Fired of Cross Code and love this game. Looking forward to playing through for the complete review. #VideoGames #Gaming

Artificial Intelligence is one of the biggest topics in gaming. While some want it to go away, Capitalism demands its presence and it is not leaving anytime soon: invertedcontrol.substack.com/p/artificial... #VideoGames #AI #Gaming

Read this tweet. The same thing is happening to video games in real time. #VideoGames #Gaming

I’ve said this a lot, but I’ll say it again people have to stop taking what critics say to heart about whatever media they’re interested in whether that’s a videogame, movie, tv show, anime, or whatever. The best thing to do is to watch or play the thing & make your own mind up.

This isn’t the year for April Fool’s jokes people.

After watching hours of #Marathon streams this game looks fun and engaging. Seems like people are having a good time with it. Extraction shooters aren't my thing, but can still recognize a fun time.

We are less than two months away from the debut Insider Gaming Showcase on May 28 at 3pm ET/8pm BST 50+ games, including world premieres, new gameplay, and more, from studios looking for funding or publisher support. Help get these games the attention they deserve.
