Hands-On: Scott Pilgrim EX Is An Electric “Adventure Brawler” Powered By Anamanaguchi

Gutted I didn’t catch this at gamescom, but absolutely buzzing to check it out in October!

I was already thinking about who I would tap for launch day co-op while playing the demo of Scott Pilgrim EX. It rocks.

The quasi-open-world brawler concept is compelling, and
Anamanaguchi, as always, are cooking!

As soon as I saw 2hollis and Mk.gee on the soundtrack, I knew we were so back

Here’s my first gamescom write up, for the only demo session in memory where I’ve been offered a sick bag…

I LOVED writing this preview!!! Keeper is going to be special (but I bet not for the reasons you think)🐦

Curating a list of gamescom games that aren't in my schedule but I think look really cool:

- Valor Mortis
- Keeper
- Denshattack!
- Death by Scrolling
- Routine
- Bubsy 4D

I'm hitting 10.1 for all the indies tomorrow, so I will hopefully catch a few of those there. Maybe?!

There’s a guy called Paul Berger just stood here aura farming in Hall 9

Couldn’t get an appointment so I played Lego Batman in the public area. I chose Dark Knight mode which limits your lives and health bar — felt like an adorable Arkham game. Lots of muscle memory there if you’ve played the Rocksteady series.

I’m at the THQ booth walking up to unrelated developers asking where SpongeBob is

Played Silksong! Specifically, the Moss Grotto demo, which ends with the Moss Mother fight. Hornet is suffering some kind of fatigue, and falls in front of a mysterious NPC. Seems like a continuation of everything the first game was good at!

Gamescom press friends — go to the east entrance and walk through to the west entrance. I’m already walking the halls! Earliest I’ve been in, I think!

Drag x Drive review – wheelchair basketball in wrist-cramping mouse mode Nintendo’s latest sports game showcases its Joy-Con upgrades but sacrifices playability in the process

I say this every year, but if you're at gamescom, get a kebab from Haus of Doner in the Alter Markt. It's a two-minute walk from The Corkonian, and it's elite.

Also, more people should try Mett at one of the breweries nearby—elite snack (if you can get over the fact it's raw pork).
