Steam will open up the pit on October 9 for the Punk Games Showcase, alongside a new edition of the Hardcore Punk Jam on itch at the same time. I got an early look at the loaded lineup and spoke to the organizer, @bradmakesgames.bsky.social.

Finally, another Kiyoshi Kurosawa project comes to Criterion. His mini-series Penance is on there now. I haven’t seen it yet but this is a fella who does not miss for me.

Trying to trade JJ “launch day embargo” McCarthy in my Madden league like a PR rep who knows their client’s game stinks.

Now on the block: Young, speedy QB with *high* upside and multiple years left on his deal.

Name and likeness to be revealed after deal has been agreed upon.

This opportunity won’t last long. Get your offer in before you miss out.

Mr. Records sounds so cool. Wishlisted.

My daughter made Slender Man in Tomodachi Life and said she’s gonna “make sure he never has any friends on the island.”

My son wants a 3D printer for his birthday. What should I know about them? Which do I get?

I didn't expect my GameSpot debut to tackle neo-feudalism, class solidarity and how The Blood of Dawnwalker's take on power and exploitation makes it a very fitting fantasy for our times. But I'm glad it turned out that way.

Jason and Michael got their games, so where's Freddy's? There's a big roadblock, Illfonic told me, and it's not a rights issue (though that likely doesn't help). www.gamespot.com/articles/her...

Here's Why A Nightmare On Elm Street Game Hasn't Happened In Decades

Sure, there was one on NES, but a modern take on the series faces a few roadblocks.

Been sitting on a really cool horror-related announcement for months, and the wait is nearly over. 🫠

Silent Hill: Townfall is the third great game in as many years for Konami’s revitalized horror series. Screen Burn’s best qualities map very well onto the foggy ghost town. My review: www.gamespot.com/reviews/sile...

Silent Hill: Townfall Completes The Series' Comeback With Another Great Entry

Screen Burn does well to move from its original horror stories to a fresh take on a landmark series.

Loved the ending to this, and the colors along the way are mesmerizing.

When I saw Circa Survive for the 38th time in 2021, I didn’t expect it could be my last, so when they went on a five-year hiatus, that lack of closure hurt. With these shows this week, I kept in mind that, although things are looking up, I should appreciate them more in case it’s all there is.

People are saying Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil movie isn’t enough like the games, which I assume means its second half is actually good.

Control Resonant is Remedy’s take on a semi-open-world character-action game, and that might sound like an experience you’ve had before, but at the transdimensional intersection of its impeccable combat design and the studio’s signature strangeness stands something unforgettably unique. My review:

Control Resonant's Best Aspect Left Me Utterly Speechless

Remedy's signature weirdness elevates the best gameplay experience it's ever made.

Control: Resonant rips. There were a number of times while playing that I was like, "Damn, that was cool," and then the game went and absolutely topped it. Check out @blueskynoise.com's review. www.gamespot.com/reviews/cont...

Bumped into @nathangrayson.bsky.social at the Circa Survive reunion shows, and of course I did. It's nice to see others working in this space have great taste in music.

My daughter and I have been playing Costume Quest in 30-minute intervals before school each morning and loving it. Hoping to pace ourselves to beat the second one before Halloween, too.

I'm taking my time with Control Resonant and really savoring it, but I'm loving it, despite my initial concerns about the genre/protagonist switch as someone who views Control as a top 5-10 game ever. Read @blueskynoise.com's great review to see why it's special www.gamespot.com/reviews/cont...
