YouTube video by Next Level Game Reviews Bubsy 4D Preview: Gaming's Greatest Glow-up?

After an extended (and unwanted) absence from doing video-based game previews, I return to action. This week I (finally) take a look at the upcoming Bubsy game, Bubsy 4D. Which is shaping up to be rather great! Which is a shock, I will admit. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Xgr...

I mean, sure, it isn't like Ubisoft would ever keep any negative information about their behind-the-scenes actions from the public.

So, after several months, my script is done. Submitted. I have until early December to resubmit or change anything. And from there, I have to wait till April to know what happens. Hopefully, good news!

But bringing a duck is fair game.

We need more games where you drive kind of crappy cars.

Somehow, I've spent the past few months writing a TV script in a font that doesn't exist. Now it is in the correct font, and it has over doubled the page count. I have now spent the past five hours correcting everything to get it back to where it should be. So, bang goes today's plans, again!

I guess the rumours of him snuffing it in a plane crash were false after all!

For the past few weeks, I've been working on a video trying to predict how certain consoles and their developers will do in the next gaming generation. Given everything that keeps happening with Xbox, I keep having to update it. And I wish I'd posted it earlier, as I'd look super smart right now.

"No strings on them!"

I'm surprised that no one seems to have done a "Tron: Ares? More like Tron: Arse!" (Or words to that effect) Joke yet. If you already have, I have good news and bad news. The good news is we are of a similar mind. The bad news is that we are of a similar mind.

Man, Jared Leto is like the kiss of death to any movie he gets cast in, isn't he?

I still have flashbacks to the time that someone danced to the theme tune to the old Pokemon anime.

YouTube video by The Video Game Channel SAGExpo 25 Reveal Round-up!

The great #indiegame extravaganza SAGExpo is back! And I decided to make a video about it, and being the stubborn soul I am, I decided to make things needlessly difficult by trying to talk about 44 games I liked in less than 5 minutes. Mistakes were made! youtu.be/sOEY4SQuYUo

Working on a video for this year's SAGE 25. It is going to be a little different to some of the other videos I've done on the gaming channel. And if nothing else, just admire the effort of trying to talk about 44 different games in the span of less than 5 minutes.

YouTube video by The Video Game Channel Bobo Bay Preview: Chao Gardens Successor?

Running late, but that won't stop me from doing this week's indie game preview. This week, we're looking at Bobo Bay, a game that is a spiritual successor to the Chao Gardens from the Sonic Adventure games! #IndieGame #Game #BoboBay #Sonic youtu.be/5MpQo_oSlyo

YouTube video by The Video Game Channel Acclaim is back, kind of!

Time for another video on video game-related things. This week, I'm looking at the recent #PlayAcclaim event and giving my humble opinion on what was shown. Is it a grand return? Or a waste of time! Find out in this video! youtu.be/CoX6Br0RFpI #indiegame #videogame

I have a feeling the Nintendo Switch Virtual Boy thing will sell more units than the original Virtual Boy. Not sure how to feel about that. But I know some classic game collectors are going to be steamed when they flood the second-hand market in a decade and they mistake them for the original.

Back to wearing trousers again. Feels weird, man.

YouTube video by The Video Game Channel Wonder Wand Preview

Time for another video on an upcoming #indie release. This time, a preview of Wonder Wand. A 2D Action game that feels in the tradition of the classic Legend of Zelda games. This is a review I've had in the back pocket for a while now. So I hope you enjoy it. #Indiegame #Gaming youtu.be/HSuaHD4OK4w

Last night, I saw my first Christmas advert of the year. Two days into September, and we're already getting Christmas adverts! 😬

If socks get too wet, then they become soaks.

100 years ago, if you saw a job posting offering you double or triple your current pay, you'd go along to it and get chased by a Bela Lugosi-type mad scientist trying to revive his dead bride. These days, it's a front for some data broker or AI tech company. Either way, you're losing your soul.

YouTube video by The Video Game Channel Coloring Voxels Review: Charmingly Colourful!

A new indie game review from me. This week, looking at the digital paint-by-numbers game Coloring Voxels. This isn't the kind of game I typically play, but I was impressed by it. Find out more here: youtu.be/VsOkXe-oD5g #indiegame #review

No offence to them, I'm sure it is a grand bit of kit, but it looks like one of those fake games machines you'd see in movies and TV shows when they don't want to pay for the rights for a real one.

Yeah, I know of them, I just can't really afford them at the moment. But I look forward to when I can, though. Some of the homebrews look great!

I know this will seem like an odd take. But sod it, it's Friday. I will never stop being amazed that, thanks to homebrewers and we are living in a time period where there are new games coming out for the Amiga, Spectrum, N64 and more. Sure, I won't be playing them on real hardware, but still neat.

YouTube video by The Video Game Channel City Of Voices Preview: A New Voice In Adventure!

It has been a while since I've done a video on an indie game release. And, well, this week's video isn't on a game that has been released, but a preview instead! City Of Voices is an upcoming indie adventure game set in the UK in the early 2000s. And is pretty bloody neat! youtu.be/o1ovWWeIZCU
