#PhantomBladeZero wow, just wow. Insanely fluid combat. Super responsive and great interrupt system. Blocking feels incredible. Yes blocking is fun! Great graphics, levels, and incredibly varied enemy design that makes combat as tactical as visceral. S-Game has a GOTY contender

I completely forgot how to fish in #ZeldaOcarinaofTimeRemake :(

I cant believe it's been almost 30 YEARS since I had the honor of Miyamoto-san putting me on the spot and asking me a zinger of a question: "Was the Water Temple too hard?" #ZeldaOcarinaofTimeRemake

#tapetotape @Tape2Tape_Game is just fun! Haven't enjoyed a hockey game this much since NHL 94'. Ref boss team are cheats! I just want to state that - dirty, filthy, cheats! One more run, must beat them again.

Ok @NintendoAmerica you got my money for #SwitchSportsResort but wow the eshop download speed is slow.

The industry sure is changing. I feel like the AAA part will end up being more contract based like movie studios. It is rough to see Bioware go. The Mass Effect trilogy was a rare one where we all felt invested and part of that world and family. I wanted to see how it ends.

I get it, games need to be sold but I don't need a full screen ad every time I boot my #xbox Gears even after I played it and now Call of Duty multiple times? Reminds me when marketing changed our #Minecraft menus so A, A, A put you into the store and on buy instead of play...

Pretty cool that you can check your #mythicachievements on #trueachievments @TrueAchievement Also ridiculous, apparently someone reported me as a cheater 7 years ago and TA just went with it and banned me from leaderboards lol. Very thorough investigation I'm sure. #xbox

Yeah hmm #gtavı wow I expected nothing less. The lighting, the environments, and especially the animation combined are what really stuns. I can't imagine the pressure and expectations on the team. All my best to them. From the extended gameplay - they delivered! @RockstarGames

The game loop and leveling up system in #splatoonraiders is like a masterclass in game progression design. Constantly improving, non stop shiny things, treasures, unlocks, and that just 1 more run feeling. @NintendoAmerica push this game more! Well done. #switch2 #Nintendo

.@asha_shar @jronald Your new console update defaults to power off (eco) settings turning OFF the ability to remote play. Very odd that you'd default turn off a major feature especially when you've pushed cloud and roaming online gaming... #xbox #asha

You want #xbox to cook again @asha_shar you need a different marketing strategy. Your last must play this ad was OG #Gearsofwar. Even the COD ads are missing. You have a #halocampaignevolved game releasing soon, where is the buzz? This is coming from and ex-dev. Makes us notice.

Sendingmy best to the #xbox studios seeing massive changes today. Working with @TimOfLegend and the @DoubleFine crew, if even in a small way was a blast. Also enjoyed kicking off State of Decay with @undeadlabs and wish them all the best as well! Great teams and great games.

Layoffs hitting hard at #xbox today. Between the voluntary retirement offer and this, so many incredible people I spent time working with are no longer there. I wish everyone the best and hope they all know how valuable and amazing they are. Sending love.

purexbox.com/news/2026/05/xb… Interesting. #XBOX @asha_shar Years ago we were working on modernizing back comp into your library. Achievements 2.0 and lots of fun career stuff. And Avatar Sports, Poker, Doritos Crash Course, etc. All were stopped at some point. Fire them back up!

What an amazing expansion and improvement for #diablo4 War plans are a brilliant way to incrementally reward and motivate the grind. Campaign and story outstanding. New settings and loot is amazing. I do need a masterclass on how to craft now but fantastic job! @Blizzard_Ent

Worst #Mets team I've seen in ages, almost like they're throwing games. Lindor is lost, Mendoza should have been gone in the offseason. How you don't set up the double play in the 10th is wild. Not to mention having Williams rest and cold then expecting lights out save...

Super Castlevania IV and Act Raiser Soundtracks still rock. Something about the SNES sound with the DSP brings back memories. What video game OSTs do you still love? #videogamemusic

Even when you pay for #mariners TV they still just selectively black out games and sell them to @AppleTV ??? @MLBTV #mlbtv is just straight up ridiculous. I thought they set up a service to watch regardless of local blackouts but they just arbitrarily black games out anyway...

Devastating layoffs at Epic Games today. My heart goes out to all affected. While we can get absorbed into our work to the point of it becoming our identity and motivator, know that you are more and will do great things wherever it may be.
