Yesterday’s Australian games media discourse was about an essential part of our ethical duties but the gulf between the collective outrage on display and the realities of an industry that has spent the last six months too scared to cross Xbox PR is baffling.

Or to put it another way, if scored video game reviews only ever illuminate the inadequacy of scores when they foreground a progressive ideology, that would describe an inherent conservative bias in reviewing.

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review:

Good that the EA Saudi deal is activating some political thought in Gamer spaces but it’s weird* that those same voices had nothing to say about Microsoft and the IDF.

Some news: wrapping up my time as Senior Editor at WellPlayed. Formative years with an amazing team of writers producing work I’m still immensely proud of. The passion for local development and the platform I was given to write queer, contentious words is something I’ll always be grateful for.

I think bristling at the idea of someone suggesting writers should play older games is pretty representative of the overarching cultural issue with games. It’s not snobbish to think we should be treating them like texts with formal foundational qualities that should inform holistic critique.

This is a bitter but crucial thing to swallow if we’re gonna move forward in any real way. We’ve gotten very comfortable assuming the inherent value of PR approved messaging.

Despite its misleading title, Silent Hill has many noises present throughout the game. Some critics say this distracts from enjoying the Hill, while others say that the atmosphere of deception adds to its horror elements.

Generally find the music in Steven Universe to be fine enough but It’s Over, Isn’t It is such a huge artistic flex from Sugar and Magno, I can’t believe it’s just casually nestled in there.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

Found the glazing of The Outer Worlds 1’s clanging capitalism critique unbearable but I particularly don’t want to see the new one held up as some politically astute text during the BDS boycott.

Old guard media punching down on underpaid, undertrained writers is mean spirited and useless. It is a pretty fundamental practices failure to not even loosely verify something before you run it. We should be able to hold both of these thoughts at once.

the best parts of gundam look sound and feel like a king crimson album. It is DEEPLY and PROFOUNDLY and POLITICALLY psychadelic. I am seriously not joking. Go watch the original show, and the third movie specifically. It is FUCKING INCREDIBLE.
