Well, this is it. After two-and-a-half years of work, conducting interviews, playing so many games, and then writing it all up into something legible.

Getting blown up by a Russian drone to protect my beautiful nation of privatised water companies, boarded up shops, cracked paving, and political-media class who think I’m a racist because I oppose a genocide.
No thanks mate.

Per Shawn Layden's comments a few years ago.
So @nikitabier's comments on GTA VI really resonated with me...
GTA VI is a beautiful monument to the first 50 years of the industry. It is likely Casablanca or Gone With The Wind -- the culmination of a system prior to disruption, much like golden age Hollywood and the rise of television. We are already seeing the dismantling of the old studio system, AI's impacts are going to be dramatic, and the industry is totally reorganizing...
But here is this beautiful thing that will likely stand as the last of it's kind and also the high water mark to which the new system will look to meet and exceed. That is why I am optimistic.
Ocarina of Time remake? Pfffft. Fresh out the oven are my thoughts on Digital Eclipse's latest retro collection, the Toy Story Retro Roundup!, which is inevitably a mixed bag but nostalgic nevertheless.

You'll never be able to generate respect, Tim.
Castlevania is back babyyy.
Here's my review for Belmont's Curse: mirror.co.uk/gaming/castleva…
In advance of its release later this week, here's my interview with both @Konami and @Studio_Evil regarding the challenge of bringing #Castlevania back to life with Belmont's Curse: youtu.be/oegB2IZfLI8?is=cBIz…
Spent the weekend with the new Evercade Nexus and came away mostly very impressed.
Overall it's a great evolution on the EXP before it and the screen is glorious, but the lack of a Rest mode feels like a missed opportunity. mirror.co.uk/gaming/evercade…
Nicolas Cage says he’s “probably not” working with Amazon again after refusing to sign an AI waiver for #SpiderNoir:
“Amazon is a very AI-friendly company, to the tune of $50 billion invested in OpenAI,” Cage said at #NYCC. “I am not an AI-friendly actor, so it’s like, connect those dots! I’m not a member of their club. I didn’t sign the waiver to let him use AI on ‘Spider Noir.’ I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again, but that’s okay.”

I raced a car shaped like a Sega Genesis underneath Godzilla as Super Shadow, and it was a pretty good time ngl.
The new Dual race mode? Eh, not so much.

A big, meaty Final Fantasy 7 Revelation interview with director Naoki Hamaguchi to see you into the weekend? Of course.
Here's nearly 2,000 words of chat where we get into Chadley theories, Switch 2 expectations, and more. Enjoy!

If you think companies will give us a 3 day work week instead of forcing us to double our output over 5 days while suppressing wages, then you don’t understand capitalism, or the greed of the CEOs and billionaires who have built their wealth by exploiting the working class.

Brings me no joy to say that I absolutely hated Hellraiser: Revival. A poor imitation of Resident Evil Village with every little original to offer outside of some cool supernatural powers. One for diehard fans only, me thinks. Oofh.

I was at the cinema this evening and during the ads before the film there was a Hallowe’en ad from Fanta. I couldn’t quite believe my eyes, but it was certified AI slop. I couldn’t record, of course, but I’ve found it online. I’m sure the Coca-Cola Company of all companies could afford a real ad. Down with AI slop.
I don't think it'll change the world, but after an hour of playtime, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort feels like a big step up on 2022's attempt!
Here's my final preview from Gamescom (crazy, right?): mirror.co.uk/gaming/nintendo…
