A private military contractor realises he's been duped by the imperial capitalist machine and rebels against them and their hordes of drugged out mercenaries. Oh yeah, this story had juice and i'd buy a remake in a heartbeat

As we've seen with many video game publications, they'll go months/years without raising rates. They'll find new workers to exploit even if traffic is declining. Sure, one day that won't work anymore, but we'll all have starved by then if we stop working because we aren't getting what we're worth

Honestly a good example of why studios shouldn't even internally use gen AI as placeholder assets. If it comes out like this it just damages a game and studio's reputation. And using it for last-minute translations and not disclosing it still feels gross, even if the plan was to fix it later

GTA Online's new Money Fronts update is a solo-friendly Breaking Bad fantasy, and it's the most fun I've had in the game's 12-year run Now Playing | Cleaning your money still requires getting your hands dirty

Perhaps the straightest thing about me is I unironically enjoy GTA Online. I wrote about the new Money Fronts update for GamesRadar! It's the best solo business Rockstar has ever added, which is great since the lobbies are still so toxic www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

The blurred line between satire and reality in No More Heroes’ treatment of women No More Heroes has a lot to say. Well, maybe that’s not exactly true. It’s a game that says a lot. How much of that is truly saying…

I need to know what parts of it you're ready to defend

In all honestly the plat itself was easy, only needed to replay one part of one mission for it. But I played the whole game out of sheer curiosity lol

Honestly who could say? Did anyone think No Man's Sky or Cyberpunk 2077 could turn things around? Main difference here I think is barely anyone is playing MindsEye, so I doubt it, but if the devs have private funding then it's possible

Surely being a freelance game journalist already did that?

This is an early PS3 game dressed in a PS5 game's clothes. It's the kind of game I can remember playing as a kid after renting it from Blockbuster or impulse buying because the cover looked cool

It's been years since I played GTA 5's story so this may be uncharitable, but I also never managed to finish it cos I kept getting bored

Honestly MindsEye is so bad it's also making me retroactively like GTA 5 less. I keep thinking "I just drive around, kill some dudes, then drive somewhere else" and realised GTA 5's story is mostly that too just with better writing and performance. Like sure there's a lot of STUFF but is it good?

Dude in utter awe of the gains, I hope it felt good!

It's terrible in so many unique ways for a 2025 game. Doesn't even have a world map!

I did a mini review of The Alters for Push Square! It reeled me in with its drama and gorgeous sci-fi landscapes. The wheel base is awesome, the live-action short films are hilarious, and the gameplay loop is wonderfully tense. Best game 11 Bit has put out so far

A FromSoftare mech game that's been dead since 2010 is suddenly back thanks to unofficial servers: "Just seeing the multiplayer hanger again after 15 years was a really emotional thing for me" A good day to be a mecha fan

I chatted with some people working on reviving the old FromSoftware mecha game Chromehounds! It's a very cool project www.gamesradar.com/games/third-...

I hate Druckmann for saying the Fireflies definitely would have found a cure because now I have to see takes like "Joel developed an unhealthy parasocial relationship with Ellie" and they make me want to gouge my eyes out
