We love Minishoot' in this house. Definetly one to check out if you like Top Down Zeldas, Twin Stick Shooting, and good XBLA style small but sweet experiences

Would rather them take a crack at Metroid 6 but don’t hate the idea

Patrick (H) Willems β€” The Best Movies Of 2025 (The Vito Awards) Celebrating the best movies of 2025 (according to me), it's the fourth annual Vito Awards!

The fourth annual Vito Awards are here and I DARE the Oscars to try and do a better opening number than this

That’s true! Wouldn’t mind a return to a 7 style reinvention next time, not so mechanically but more mining where and what else they can do in the horror sandbox. Try some spatter comedy again, psychological or supernatural bends, folk or found footage etc

(One of my favorite examples of this: Five Nights at Freddy's. Four low budget games produced in rapid succession in comparison to the rest of the games industry claimed an entire generation of fans.

A world where Scott Cawthon hit gold and then cooked a sequel for five years? That doesn't happen.)

two weeks later and i still can't get this out of head, especially as i work through some of my first FF games

the internet loves to give modern pokemon shit for its graphics, but by refusing to participate in the AAA graphics arms race, they have unambigiously dominated the culture. they won.

The Switch 2 really did say the PS3 era is back (visuals included)

Took me writing posts to realise that it's pretty much Sonic Generations but for Resident Evil; you get the third person high kick action, and the first person puzzle box, and it switches between the two nicely, rather than RE6 which was the same beige cover shooter in three different locales

Won't spoil the last section but very much the weakest part of the game, remaking one of the series' low points so far. That said! Despite how not cohesive it sounds on paper, the track switching works surprisingly well. Call it Sonic Generations for Survival Horror, and the past 8 years of RE

We get into some more experimental territory from there which, while a bit of a drag in spots, does go to show how much of a genuine AAA developer Capcom is with the likes of Naughty Dog and Square Enix. Impressive in scale and spectacle, but lacking adventure game smarts

The first section of the game is pretty much all-timer post RE7 territory. It's the police station meets dulvey mansion with all of the strengths. Brilliant puzzle box level design. And grace as a somewhat less capable Ethan Winters completely steals the game here

Rolled credits on RE9 a few hours ago, and pretty much processing the same feelings everyone else is. Felt like playing three distinctly different Resident Evil games, of varying but still high quality, back to back. Some more fully formed (spoiler-free?) thoughts to come.

Im still mulling on my Metroid Prime 4 thoughts and everyone else is rushing to say WOW RE9 WHAT A SYNTHESIS

Not to be a frog dissector but didn’t they hire him in 2012, after introducing crates in 2010. I think he was just drawing graphs on their data

If I ever had to make one of those evil β€œGame Bad” videos, honestly it would be God of War 2018. A completely hollow made by committee product, down to the marketing doing everything in its power to make it feel like genuine auteur work. Hate it

And like, nothing he’s done/does is good, not including Chronicle almost 20 years ago. He dropped six figures on a Carly Rae Jepsen video so off putting its used to torture spies

Crazy to me they’re doing cruelty politics now for movies. Not even right wingers benefit from a movie written by John Landis’ dipshit son
