If you're designing a video game, and think that it's a good idea to put a forced stealth, instant fail section into it, you have no business designing video games.

Okay, I see you Silent Hill: Townfall. I see you.

Star Trek: Enterprise is 25 years old today. 25 years. Wow. It really has been a long road, getting from there to here.

Okay, so Silent Hill: Townfall looks absolutely staggering.

And that's Onimusha: Way of the Sword done. Good game. A bit silly, but fun. A touch harder than I expected. Not quite a Souslike, but it definitely copied some of From Software's homework for the design. Now time for Control: Resonant next week.

Oh cool, a new Starcraft game has been announced. Hopefully it releases soon, and we don't have to wait ages for it. 2030 you say? I'm sorry, that's a far-future science fiction year that no one will be around to see.

So glad I got up early to brave the rain and overcrowded, delayed trains to sit in the office in almost unbroken silence with three other people and one person trying to convince me that DLSS5 and ChatGPT 6 are actually good things.

Hey, so it turns out the new Onimusha game is actually really quite good.

It's fine to have nostalgia for books or films you enjoyed when you were younger. No one will judge you for that. People will, and should, judge you though, for continuing to support a franchise that the creator uses income from to campaign for make trans people's lives worse. Don't do it.

I don't know if Insomniac deliberately made the cult leader in Spider-Man 2 look like Jared Leto or not, but it would be pretty funny if they did.

I think it's probably time to stop making Jurassic Park films and accept that nothing will ever come close to the greatness achieved way back in 1993.

First it was Nick Frost. Now Nicholas Hoult has signed up to this new wizard show. That's disappointing. At best, the creator actively using money from it to make trans folks lives harder isn't a deal breaker for them taking part in it. That's not a good look. At worst? Well, that's much worse.

Today at HQ, we had special guests from Microsoft leadership. We refuse to let executives forget what game studios are actually made of: their workers. As welcome gift, we placed hundreds of flags outside, honoring all of the game workers who have been laid off by Microsoft in 2026 (so far).

Didn't expect Strange New Worlds to do an Event Horizon episode, but it really worked. Definitely the most gruesome episode of Star Trek I've ever seen. It's definitely hinting at a possible "unexplained events" type spin off, like The X-Files in space. Or The Treks Files if you will.

For all of my initial gripes about Halo: Campaign Evolved (and it definitely does have its flaws) its basically all I have been playing since before the weekend. It is still Halo: Combat Evolved at it's core, and I still love the original Halo trilogy.

The levels of disrespect from Showcase Cinemas for giving Tom Holland third billing for a film where he plays the titular character is actually hilarious.

Halo: Campaign Evolved really needed a "I've played a Halo game before" setting. I don't need Cortana popping up every time a new enemy shows up telling me how to fight them. I'm playing on Heroic, I know at least a little bit about what I am doing.

Halo Campaign Evolved is out in a little over a week, and I am conflicted. I would like to play it, but I am reluctant to buy anything on Xbox, since I don't think the platform will be around much longer, but buying and playing Halo on PlayStation feels wrong. Steam maybe?

Damn, this sucks. I remember seeing Jurassic Park in the cinema at 7 years old and wanting to be Dr Alan Grant. I think I even dressed as him for a school fancy dress party that year. Time to watch it again I think. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

To anyone who has worked on Destiny or Destiny 2 over the years, thank you for creating a game, and a world that I have lived in, and loved for the last 12 years. You helped build something amazing and it sucks that this is how it's ending. Per Audacia Ad Astra. #Destiny2 #DestinyTheGame
