Nothing better than getting randomly followed by an account and then I check em out and they're making something really cool. It's like Rollerdrome and SSX had a baby

Saddened to announce I was affected by the recent Polygon layoffs. Though my time there was short, it was an incredible experience with a truly lovely bunch of people.

If you’re looking for a games/entertainment nerd for writing, presenting, PR, or any other opps, hit me up!

I think the fact that they haven’t put out the patch six years into the PS5’s life is the reason everyone is asking for a full on remake, but a PS5 update would make 99% of people happy

primary issue is that there isn’t a PS5 version and the PS4 is locked at 30 FPS even on PS5

I spent 40 hours digging into Tales of Berseria’s story and combat and came out impressed Despite some technical hiccups, Tales of Berseria Remastered is an upgrade worthy of its sea legs.

Hello everyone! Happy to share that I reviewed Tales of Berseria Remastered for @techradar.com! This was my first time with the game and I loved it! I really enjoyed the direction it went and the new additions, while small, made gameplay a blast. Check it out below! Hope you enjoy!

Resident Evil Requiem Review – Capcom’s Ultimate Modern Resident Evil - MonsterVine Resident Evil Requiem blends first-person survival horror with RE4-inspired action, starring Leon and newcomer Grace in Capcom’s most refined modern Resident Evil yet.

Resident Evil Requiem fucking rips. It’s the best gameplayβ€”both survival horror and actionβ€”in the series since 4. Swapping between segments enhances both experiences, making for a fantastic horror experience monstervine.com/2026/02/resi...

I think this is one of my favorite reviews I've ever written and maybe my best, too.

I spent a lot of time on it – hours over the weekend writing in my head and hours at the computer attempting to type out those thoughts. It was a mental exercise unlike any I've had in recent memory. Please enjoy!

Resident Evil Requiem takes the best of the modern games and remakes and smashes them together to create the best Resident Evil in years. - @jamesthecarr.bsky.social

As long as the new Xbox CEO brings us a new Viva PiΓ±ata then this was all worth it.

wild that a company that remasters the last of us every six months doesn’t have anything for Blue Point to work on

deeply funny that Geoff gave the final slot in his show to a Tencent game for free, that man does not know ball

I really need a publication to let me review Saros.

One of the biggest games people are looking forward to with an Indian protagonist?

I have to review that for so many reasons.

I want to do features on that, interviews, and so much coverage for guides.

I need this to happen, please.

God of War trilogy remake is the game you make when 12 live service projects didn't work out

Operation Metro Surge? More like Operation Metro Boomin with how this administration has gone Mask Off!

need the industry to stop betting on live service games if they can't sustain the livelihood of people who work on them.

if you don’t have the finances (or the stomach) to withstand a less than stellar launch, you shouldn’t be making a live service game. this is a management failure and I hope the affected staff land on their feet

I have played some No More Heroes 1 and Lollipop Chainsaw, but that was years ago at this point

I tried to enjoy the wackiness and creativity of Romeo Is A Dead Man but found the gameplay to be far too tedious and shallow for me to really buy in
