REVIEW // Dispatch

Dispatch is a hilarious, action-packed choice game that should be in the Game of the Year conversation

You love to see it

I just find it pretty rich seeing people circle jerk themselves to this whole thing with no regard at all for how this person must be feeling. We hear so much about mental health these days but that goes out the window when people want to stick the boots in.

I think a lot of Aussie games media have shown their true colours today. Regardless of what was shown on TV, it's pretty disappointing to see the celebratory pile on, but not overly surprising

The AFL just can't bloody help itself. Constant rule changes, bullshit opening round and now this. We don't need a wildcard weekend, just another example of the league's money-grabbing focus. If you can't finish top 8 at the end of the season you haven't earned the right to play finals.

For a company making arguably the most anticipated game ever, which will probably make the most money a game has ever made, it's really disappointing to see it seemingly treat its workers this way

The Florist director Phil Larsen sat down with the awesome @zachjackson.bsky.social and chatted design, changing game worlds and finding horror in color! #survivalhorror

I wonder what we'll get first, GTA VI or a new Breaking Benjamin album

The Score (2001) is a great choice

Amazing work mate 🥃

REVIEW // Ninja Gaiden 4

Mainline Ninja Gaiden returns after more than a decade with fun, fast and challenging gameplay, and plenty of blood

Not sure but I don't know how many people would buy one over an Apple Watch

Super stoked about Electric Callboy coming back to Melbourne next year, but not stoked about $180 for general admission. I'll be there though.

I was there watching @auralynxian.bsky.social while she was performing the tortuous tongue tango. Game looks awesome – I said it plays like Life is Strange meets Superbad (not the sexual humour) and I'm sticking by it. Very keen.

REVIEW // Ghost of Yōtei

Ghost of Yōtei does more than live up to the mantle of the Ghost; it solidifies itself as an instant modern classic.
