Safe answer is the original MGS, best answer is MGS2 (because it's amazing and deserves a new audience)

Your Party 2: Election Boogaloo

Pete's (excellent) weekly guide on what to watch has taught me both Taskmaster and Slow Horses are back 😍

This week's @vgim.bsky.social by @vitageorge.bsky.social has a great breakdown of remake definitions. Big fan of the term 'remakesters' (i.e. Metal Gear Solid Delta) in particular.

I miss episodic games, so very much excited for this:

Lumo 2!

lol things are going well then

On paper Fortnite competing with Roblox could work, but in practice, I'm always going to want to play battle royale modes over user created mini-games. Steal A Brainrot is an example of that trend bucking but it's just one game - rarely see anything else competing:

Five years ago I wrote an article asking the question: why do some gamers invert their controls. The piece led to scientific research and now a paper has been published! I spoke to the researchers responsible… www.theguardian.com/games/2025/s...

And here's my assistant, Little Parker Booowles!

I dug into that recent Pokémon patent on @theverge.com in the interest of getting some facts straight www.theverge.com/games/779062...

Re. RPS freelance, I now have a budget for irregular (maybe 6-12 pieces a year) 2000-3000 wordish, more granular and specific reporting and investigative criticism that broaches a new topic or addresses a gap in knowledge regarding something familiar.

For a BBC feature, are there any horror aficionados and/or experts out there, particularly for the horror of the 80s, who might be able to answer a few questions about Re-Animator and its place therein within the next couple of weeks? Shares for visibility always appreciated. #journorequest

Hello. I'm looking to speak to anyone who worked at IO Interactive on the Hitman games between 2000 and 2006 for a feature on GAMINGbible. If you can help me out, I'd appreciate a message.

i've been pitching it around but just in case: if you're looking for someone to review [popular indie sequel launching next week] while your site is busy trying to withhold the barrage of september releases, i'm already all caught up with the new stuff

Editors, I have some truly top-tier gaming interviews that need a home. If you have budget and are looking for some juicy high quality features, don't hesitate to slide into my DMs.

There are fragrances based on the Commodore 64 and other retro computers on the way? "Each exceptional scent combines the fun and playful nostalgia of retro gaming with the satisfaction of smelling and feeling good." gamespress.com/FROM-PIXELS-...

Turns out the upcoming Super Mario Galaxy re-release isn't the same as the 3D All-Stars version and means I probably will have to buy it again. 🙃

Important reporting by @andyrobinson.bsky.social here for fellow amiibo heads:

It’s Monday. You know what that means

Heya folks! I need your help, please share 👋 I'm working on a big project, and I need the best video game soundtracks inspired by dance, house, jungle, or DnB. Please drop anything you love below, no matter how obscure 👇 youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Hey there, Delilah Can you hear me through the floorboards Below which my dismembered corpse Provides the only records Of your crime? A long way back from hell I've had to climb Now I speak in rhyme

The Wii and motion controls feel very passé now, but this is a brilliant introduction - I still distinctly remember how new and exciting it all felt. Not sure we’ll get anything quite like it again.

Is anyone else thinking about Dragon Quest VII Reimagined a lot or just me?

Caught up with the Nintendo Direct and those amiibo announcements 😍

wild that MP3 is an audio file, MP4 is a video file, but MP5 is a submachine gun. Digimon-ass evolution line.

Episode 2 of our podcast is live! All four owners are here today talking about Silksong and more. In the second half, we have an interview with Edmund McMillen and @tylerglaiel.com. We discuss their upcoming game, Mewgenics, and the challenges of game dev! www.rogue.site/podcasts/rog...

Do I know any freelance writers going to DICE Europe?

Belatedly opened my subscription copy of Edge and it comes with a surprisingly hefty Switch 2 promo magazine, and a leaflet with a list of corrections. (Sounds like FFVII Remake isn’t guaranteed for this year!)

After three and a half years as Head of Games, I'm sad to say I will be leaving BAFTA on Friday 12th September. Due to some recent internal changes, the Head of Games role is being discontinued and so I will be moving on to pastures new.

This story by @timeextension.com is extraordinary:

I'm looking to commission a freelancer with knowledge of the Russian games industry and preferably some ability to read/speak Russian. If that's you, my email is in my bio: www.rockpapershotgun.com/authors/edwi...

Good morning ✨

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

losing my shit at tom clancy's daughter immediately setting this to her banner after seeing it

right, now that september is well underway: i’m attending tokyo game show for the first time this year. if you have something cool for me to check or a story to listen, feel free to get in touch via email or dms. recs are also welcome, *especially* if they haven’t gone viral on tiktok

It’s official - “Nigel Farage is right, don’t vote for him” is a demonstrably awful strategy for Labour. Boosts salience of immigration, costs votes on the left, doesn’t persuade any voters on right (why would they accept a crap knock-off when they can have the original?)

Was flattered to be approached by @roguesite.bsky.social to contribute to their launch week, where I discuss Barbuta, a UFO 50 game I quickly moved on from but am so glad to give second chance. My hope is you do the same!

"it's all gone silk song" is my favourite cockney rhyming slang

Mewgenics is actually coming out??

Cracking 007 First Light preview here by @apzonerunner.com from an IO studio visit - his passion and expertise for Bond really shines through. As time goes on I'm less interested in playing new releases at launch, but I absolutely need to play this day one:
