People have seen Godzilla Minus Zero a month before I get to and I simply think that's fucked up

We're getting a borderlike remake of Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee. Anything is possible. Someone remaster Wanted: Weapons of Fate.

I don't think we talk about how good and effortless that Malcolm in the Middle reunion was enough.

I rolled credits on Nocturne, an indie JRPG that's been on my radar for a couple of years now. It holds a narrative that should be experienced with as little info as possible. The guitar hero combat is an inspired choice but after some time it begins to lose its luster. youtu.be/E-shlK1qrzE

As someone who wasn't a fan of the gameplay in the first control seeing the scattering opinions for Resonant is very interesting.

Shot in the dark: A few years ago, I looked into the ill-fated Sly Cooper movie and subsequent (canned?) TV show, but I ran into dead ends. If you worked on either or have any leads I can follow, I'd love to hear from you in a DM or email at kshepard@kotaku.com. Anon guaranteed. RTs appreciated!

Ty to everyone who came out to the “life changing indie games you haven’t played” panel organized by @wallstormer.blacksky.app and done by myself, @camfinalmix.bsky.social, @kimchica.bsky.social, and @kiwisnstars.bsky.social. A full house on a Sunday at noon is nuts and a huge honor.

I really wanted to review this for one of the big sites for a full circle moment, but it didn't come to be. But this past year SmashPad has definitely increased in size, and I'd say we're a great source because we reviewed every game in the series. Oh yeah, 2nd Chapter is a masterpiece.

While I haven't rolled credits and having played the original I'm convinced Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter sits next to Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver as the best remake ever made. My thoughts so far. youtu.be/itmYmR9cjME

It’s HHM! As the industry falters, I’m lucky to have a role in games. As a Latino, even more fortunate as simply put, not many of us exist in games. If you’re reading this, I’m asking you to be an ally. Whether at an event or in a boardroom, please support and speak up for your Latino colleagues 🫶🏼

IGN Creators Guild @ignunion.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

We are tired of posting statements like these.

Today was an awful day at IGN. We were blindsided by the layoff of four union members and many more people across the organization who contributed years of their careers to making IGN an unparalleled voice in games and entertainment.

With each successive layoff, core parts of IGN’s operation continue to be stripped away. Today, IGN has decided to do away with many of our talented producers, editors, hosts, and other crucial roles, both within and out of the union. How many layoffs will occur before we no longer recognize the company we work for and the content that we make?

While we recognize the challenges the media industry is facing as a whole, it is difficult to understand how laying off valuable employees better positions us to meet those challenges. In turn, remaining employees bear additional workloads worsened by anxiety over the ever-looming threat of another layoff.

We are devastated, angry, and heartbroken for our colleagues.
