Should I continue my first playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima tonight, or Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter? 🤔

At the end of August, VR MMORPG Ilysia switched from buy-to-play to free-to-play, and they've enjoyed a massive influx of players and a big uptick in monthly active users (MAU). Check out my full interview with the studio's CEO: www.meta.com/blog/ilysia-...

We all agree Zoey is best girl, right?

Kpop Demonhunters in Fortnite just makes sense. Even the new loading screens are amazing!!!

Similar to my Stop Killing Games video, I’d love to chat to game devs about their thoughts on GamePass. If you are a game dev, or know one who has Opinions On GamePass, and would be willing to share them with me (can be anonymous) please reply to this post!

Marvel Cosmic Invasion is insanely good. ✅Every character plays differently ✅Swapping characters is seamless ✅Assist moves add lots of nuance ✅Pixel art is top-notch and gorgeous ✅Runs great on Steam Deck Demo on Steam is 2 levels, blasted through 2x w/ my 8yo son. Can't wait for full launch!!!

I'm 1000% buying these skins. The movie was amazing, the songs are fantastic, and the character designs already feel super iconic. Also, it's extremely impressive how quickly they got these out. The singers are in the middle of doing another press tour right now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ipc...

I'm not even good at shooters, but I'm genuinely getting very excited for Battlefield 6.

Today, for Forbes, I published my interview feature with the chief marketing officer at Arcade1Up. I really like how this one turned out! Give it a read: www.forbes.com/sites/davidj...

It's neat that they left the other characters as options in Sonic Racing CrossWorlds, but I see no reason to select anyone other than Hatsune Miku going forward. She sings "SEGAAAA" at character select!!!

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is corgi approved

Capping off a very busy week of late-night freelance writing with another feature going live tomorrow, this time over on Forbes 👌

Shout out to @evercade.co.uk for sending me the new EXP-R. Absolutely love this new design.

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is an excellent remake, and a great 3D platformer in its own right, that I definitely recommend checking out!! Check out my full review over at GamesBeat: ▶️ gamesbeat.com/pac-man-worl...

I've got another game review dropping at GamesBeat tomorrow. I cannot be stopped.

Love this perspective: "It is, in fact, interesting, and games being interesting is more important to me than how they fall on a simple good/bad scale." www.rockpapershotgun.com/silent-hill-...

The rapture can't be real because neither GTA 6 nor Elder Scrolls 6 are out yet.

Now that my reviews for Sonic Racing CrossWorlds and Silent Hill f are out, I have one more game review this week going live. Then, I'm gonna try and see how much of Ghost of Tsushima I can play finally before Yotei releases 😅

For GamesBeat, I interviewed NC America CEO Jeonghee "JJ" Jin all about the company's global strategy, expanding portfolio, and their latest release, Blade & Soul Heroes, an action-MMO meets turn-based hero collection hybrid game. I'm really happy how it turned out! gamesbeat.com/how-nc-ameri...

Cancel the State of Play, this biggest news of the week just dropped.

I've got a very cool feature going up in a few hours at GamesBeat. This is only my second week contributing there part-time, but I've had fun writing on a wider range of topics than usual and expanding my horizons in some cool ways.

just learned about the content warning that open Silent Hill f and this feels like it comes from a parallel world where AAA games took on a whole different meaning for "mature" damn. more of this approach please

You can now read my (spoiler-free) review of Silent Hill f over on GamesBeat! Email signup required for a free account. I really, really loved this one despite not vibing with the combat very much. This is a special kind of game. ▶️ gamesbeat.com/silent-hill-...

Genuinely powerful words to live by.

I finished Silent Hill f for review over the weekend! You'll be able to read my full review at GamesBeat soon this week!

That feel when you finish a game you're reviewing and you want to post about it and discuss it because your mind is racing but you can't because it's under embargo

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is the best Sonic racing game to date and the best racing game I've played in about a decade. I like it more than Mario Kart World. Check out my review over on @gamesbeat.bsky.social! gamesbeat.com/sonic-racing...

#Meta Ray-Ban Display is real! At Connect today, Meta unveiled brand-new AI glasses with a built-in display + neural wristband. You can read about it in the blog post I helped put together with tons of details! ▶️ www.meta.com/blog/meta-ra...

Wrote a bit about this upcoming medieval fantasy kingdom management sim meets dungeon delver RPG hybrid game for GamesBeat. Honestly, a pretty awesome combo with Valheim-style low-poly visuals. All made by a solo dev too! gamesbeat.com/medieval-fan...

New byline alert! I'm not freelancing part-time for @gamesbeat.bsky.social, a lot of stuff from me will start going up soon. My first article analyzes the success of Hollow Knight: Silksong. gamesbeat.com/team-cherrys...

@haleyfax.bsky.social Would you mind DMing me? Would love to get a quote from you for an article if that's of interest.

I've never played a Fatal Frame game, and that Fatal Frame 2 remake from today's Direct looks amazing. What's the best place to start for that series?

New profile pic who dis

Nintendo absolutely cooked with today's Direct. That was insane.

Thank you to Gung Ho for the amazing Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter orbment chocolates!!! You'll be able to read my review of the game on Forbes in due time.

Healing point right next to a giant door at the top of a tower. I'm sure whatever's on the other side is safe. ...right?

Acclaim is back! Today, the @playacclaim.bsky.social showcase showed a whole slate of games, and now my interview with new CEO Alex Josef is live over on Forbes, all about the label's new lease on life: www.forbes.com/sites/davidj...

Exploring my son's Minecraft base. I can't tell if he wants me to open these. What do you think?

Never forget what they took from us. #Scalebound

In the last 24 hours, review codes for three of my most anticipated games of the year hit my freelance inbox. Gonna be a busy month! Reviews coming soon at Forbes, my TikTok + YouTube, and maybe some other places too.

Panzer Dragoon Zwei is getting a remake they announced today! These are such solid games on Sega Saturn.

Back to DK.

Finally finished Phantom Liberty. I'm not okay 😭 #Cyberpunk2077

Sometimes when life gets busy I go multiple days without playing any games and it feels like my body is starving 😩

🗣️📣DON'T FORGET While Hollow Knight #Silksong is busy soaking up the attention and breaking storefronts, @atari.com released a different 2D #metroidvania this week that's a direct tribute to the Atari 2600's original Adventure! ▶️ www.forbes.com/sites/davidj...

Epic #VR fantasy adventure game, DrakkenRidge, is out now on Quest! I interviewed the folks from Garage Collective all about its development for the Meta Blog. I'm really pleased with how this turned out! ▶️ www.meta.com/blog/drakken...

I interviewed the producer on the new Shinobi from @sega-west.bsky.social and the @lizardcube.bsky.social CEO all about the new game's inspiration and development. www.forbes.com/sites/davidj...

Maybe one day if you are responsible, work hard,.and save up your eddies then you too can buy the bougie Corpo Plaza apartment in Cyberpunk.

Finally making time to play more Phantom Liberty, this story is incredible. Love Songbird!
