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.

What a brilliant idea for a game.

Day of the Devs and Wholesome are the main events really, aren't they? Also the Xbox one.

If Hideo Kojima can make Death Stranding all by himself there’s simply no excuse for other solo devs not to be making games on a similar scale

Logged on at PRECISELY the right time to see the UK games industry react to Not Bloodborne.

I have now beaten Adam and Eve. People are still dumb tho.

100%. Visited last year. They've got their shit down in a way that makes London feel even more like cramped, grimy chaos. Some decent food too.

Still haven't beaten Adam and Eve tho but that's cos people are dumb.

33 Immortals got me. Gimme a nice art style and numbers that go up and yes, yes I will happily do the same thing over and over 3,000 times thank you.

With Steam Next Fest now in full swing, I absolutely INSIST you check out the following demos...

Hey! If you're looking for a seasoned game reviewer with 15+ years' experience reviewing for places like IGN, Eurogamer, PLAY, Edge magazine and more, pls think of me! Schedule has opened up from next month, so I'm open to new opportunities (ideally stable/regular/retainer work). LMK! K! THX! BAI!

I just finished an essay I've been working on for about a month: Being a Kid making games in the early 2000s. It includes videos of my earliest games.

If anything bad happens to this weird little dude, I swear.

Crescent County Is the Witch-Tech Racing-Delivery-Life-Sim You Didn’t Know You Needed - Xbox Wire Crescent County combines open world exploration, dating, delivery challenges, racing, and life sims - all set on motorized brooms. We went hands-on with an early version to learn more about this uniqu...

I got to play Crescent County, which is a lovely thing to be able to say.

I also got to do a big old interview with @annahollinrake.bsky.social and @pavlemiha.bsky.social about it - what a thing this looks to be: news.xbox.com/en-us/2024/1...

Also thanks to @danielarabbits.bsky.social for offsetting my complete and utter lack of direction.

After waiting way too long, I finally played and finished Botany Manor on Xbox over the last couple nights. It's BRILLIANT. What a perfectly formed thing.

Enjoyed Chants of Sennaar! One of the puzzles was straight up bullshit and the stealth bits were bleh, but otherwise an absolute banger.

Murder on Arcturus Station I. Dear Reader, In 1983, Games Designers’ Workshop released an adventure module for Traveller called Murder on Arcturus Station. It’s a straight-up sci-fi murder mystery – an earl…

On this week's Indie RPG Newsletter, I talk about a unique scifi murder mystery adventure for Traveller from 1983 called Murder on Arcturus Station.

Also, all the usual links and such!

Screenshot of a script: JESSICA: I’m so glad you invited me to Place Where You Live. JESSICA’S LOVELY FRIEND: It’s so lovely to see you Jessica! How’s your book tour going? JESSICA: Very well, thank you. I am a literary titan known to most of humanity and my work is to everyone’s taste. JESSICA’S LOVELY FRIEND: That’s great. I just hope you don’t get wrapped up in the FLASHPOINT OF LOCAL TENSIONS going on while you’re here. JESSICA: (Raises quizzical eyebrow)

I once watched too much Murder She Wrote and wrote a formula for it: www.pentadact.com/2014-08-08-t... .

Not sure I've seen a better representation of England than in Slow Horses; decaying, cigarette-yellowed, soaked in fry-ups and racism. Need a shower after every episode.

Four games I've worked on.

One note says "EMPATHY WILL HAVE ITS REVENGE".

Credits rolled. What a game! Now have half a little notebook and a fat spreadsheet filled with what must look like the rantings of an utter madman.

UPDATE: Notebook out, Spreadsheet in. These puzzles are so intricately stacked only columns and rows can save us now.

Plus it makes you get your notebook out. Always love that.

Adore Rise of the Golden Idol's bizarre art, twisted vibe, and slowly unravelling non-linear story. Really enjoying co-sleuthing through this.
