I really enjoyed No More In Hell 2 and Alpha Response this year.

Not sure if The Outlast Trials might also count.

the united states has, since its founding, been the dril racism dial meme for both racism and fascism

Call of Duty 22: The Eighth Black Ops Game: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

caring this deeply about the inner workings of a pop musician is so much weirder than enjoying sports

Also inside: Peter Molyneux on triumphs, mistakes and his final game; behind the scenes of ARC Raiders at Embark; the making of Blue Prince; and reviews including Ghost Of Yotei, Silksong and Silent Hill F. Available from UK newsagents now and online here: bit.ly/buy-edge

Bloober has made a great game.

You can listen to this episode right now.

The @bulletpointsvg.bsky.social Mafia: The Old Country issue continues.

This week, it's my turn. If you have time to read and share this article, I'd be flattered.

I haven't finished it quite yet but I am increasingly inclined to think that Silent Hill f is a good game.

The problem is only getting worse and nobody has any idea what to do about it, other than to say "well, we talked about that loads already and it doesn't matter".

Episode 102 - Cronos - The New Dawn

A new episode, with @reidmccarter.bsky.social and @edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social talking through Cronos: The New Dawn, is up now. open.spotify.com/episode/3xAx...

It feels like we all know what we're supposed to do, in our heads, as players. But should we be the ones who have to do the work?

That line—what we're supposed to view as real or "true to the story" or however you want to put it & what we're supposed to view as happening in the exaggerated dream realm that comes w/a work's status as a VIDEO GAME—has always fascinated me & here, via M:TOC, Ed builds up to an important question!

New this week on the site, @edwardsmithwriter.bsky.social writes about Mafia: The Old Country and videogame design coherence. bulletpointsmonthly.com/2025/10/02/y...

For my Edge debut, I reviewed Consume Me!

Great work in this month's issue from cover to cover. Behind the scenes on First Light. A huge retrospective on Peter Molyneux. Undertale at ten years old. How Blendo makes games. The return of RedOctane. How Time Crisis 1 is also making a comeback. And a lot more.

No it's not. It's really fast.

when the people who say stuff like “female rage” and “girlhood” find silent hill f … lets just say ryukishi will be purchasing a yacht
