i played Big Walk and had a real great time with it. the gestures, the little interactive tools and toys, and an island full of puzzles make for a great sandbox to just walk around and vibe in. check out my thoughts here!

Was just drinking some coffee and was like what if I had to drink this from my hand like dummies did in the old days. Love a good cup, man. Hands stay dry, thirst stays quenched

I really like Pokopia but I can’t help but wonder how much better it would be if Omega Force added Saosin and some dirt bikes and ATVs that I could ramp off stuff with

Assassin's Creed Unity Is a Vision of What Could Have Been - The Notice Board 12 years later, and after its technically rough launch, Assassin's Creed Unity is one of the most visionary games in the franchise, and one that didn't get the space it deserved.

Introducing a new section for An Evening at the Inn - The Notice Board. Where I get a little blog-y. I wrote about returning to AC Unity, why it's one of the series' best games, and how, given a bit more time in the oven, how different AC could be now. an-evening-at-the-inn.ghost.io/assassins-cr...

Hi hello, if you were a dev involved with the visuals of Assassin's Creed Unity, I'd love to chat with you about it. Specifically, what went into the art of the game and why you think it holds up so damn well to this day (because it does) compared to other ACs.

RTs appreciated πŸ‡«πŸ‡·

I'm admittedly weary of Aniimo a bit, because of its free-to-play nature and silence around its plan for that model, BUT, after playing it for about 4 hours, it's got the monster-collecting juice. It's a looker, too!

Aniimo Preview - Gotta Become ’Em All - Game Informer We spoke to the creators of Aniimo, the adorable PokΓ©mon-inspired monster collector.

Another preview-feature I'm excited about in the latest issue of Game Informer is my words on Aniimo!

I'm always stoked to talk to any team making a creature-collecting RPG, knowing a PokΓ©mon release is basically always on the horizon, & the conversation was great: gameinformer.com/preview/2026...

Hunting A Witch How the developers behind Witchfire built the shooter they’ve always wanted alongside its community with Early Access.

In the latest issue of GI, I spoke to The Astronauts to learn more about Witchfire, an FPS launching later this year that, as anyone playing it in Early Access knows, is a can't-miss game.

We talked early access, being a "5D shooter," the 1.0 launch, and more: gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

That lil city section is such a tease – do I want an open world RE? I don't think so. Do I want to explore the rest of that city just to see what it looks like in the RE engine?? Yeah, I do very badly

Hmm i disagree – if we know we’re getting just a part of the larger picture, we shouldn’t act like we have the full picture because the other parts aren’t publicly available.

Also, I don’t really care what gamers do or say either these stats - I take issue with reporting that does this
