Star Wars: Galactic Racer is the shot in the arm the arcade racing genre has been waiting for. Fast, frenetic, and fun. It's a reminder of what the genre can be when it is willing to push boundaries and the speed limit. My review: www.gamerguides.com/star-wars-ga...

Been playing Star Wars: Galactic Racer and it might be my GOTY. It's just incredible and consistently fun.

Don't think anyone was expecting this when Ace Attorney appeared in the Capcom investor presentation deck from a while back.

I realise this is a terrible time to look, but if amyone has/knows of any guide freelance work, it would be much appreciated. Some regular work I have had for almost 3 years is coming to an end from Oct 1, so am looking to fill that hole. RTs appreciated and feel free to DM me

Really sad to see what Polygon has become

Silent Hill Townfall is incredible. The best this specific brand of psychological horror gets with an unsettling narrative, engaging puzzles, and a captivating atmosphere. This was my first Silent Hill game and I absolutely adored it. My review: www.gamerguides.com/silent-hill-...

Control Resonant's poor early pacing and combat balance makes way for a brilliantly deep action game that is bigger, more personal, messier and more human than original. My review: www.gamerguides.com/control-reso...

I keep flip flopping on Control Resonant. I like parts of it but at times it feels kind of overdesigned. The parts where the game ditches the open world fluff is the best.

Every song on that GTA 6 album so far is good or great except the Morgan Wallen one which is a snoozefest, the usual for him. That Rauw Alejandro song is a 10/10, though.

Me "Yay, a new Ni No Kuni game" Level-5 "It's made by Netmarble" Me "Well, better forget about the game then"

Fun fact, the studio that spent years making this no longer exists and therefore won't see any benefit, only Nacon will.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I really wish Team Ninja would take a year or two out from releasing a game in the first part of the year to make a proper evolution of this formula because all these games look amd feel so similar.

I had a really thoughtful chat with two of the leads on the upcoming Hellraiser: Revival and touched on everything from reverse engineering the audio effects on Doug Bradley's voice for Pinhead, all the way to avoiding demonizing kink and BDSM as they try to respect Clive Barker's original works.

shacknews.com

Hellraiser Revival's developers are aware that Clive Barker's work requires a deft touch

'We knew right from the start that we didn't wanna demonize BDSM.'

Bad PlayStation PR and news cycle continues

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

AAA gaming is so cooked. Milk franchises untill they are dead, Remaster games from 10 years ago. Announce games four years before the release window. Proper dismal era for big budget games right now.

How are we announcing a game for 2030. Jesus christ

Sony homogenising the majority of their first party lineup was maybe a bad idea. It's like why do all of these games need roguelike modes now. The library of experiences is just becoming stale.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Some of the level design, waypointing, objective stuff discussed in this video is crazy. Makes you wonder if this should have ever been greenlit as a linear game, given Insomniac are known more these days for open worlds than linear adventures.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I also believe this. They are going to want as many sales as possible.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I don't know but Ghost of Yotei being great but coming and going, these Wolverine reviews, Marathon, Destiny 2 dying, stepping away from Kojima, about 4 live service games stuck in limbo, Intergalactic stuck in dev hell, Sony's position in the market is becoming more untenable by the day.

Yikes, Sony really floundering in the latter half of this gen

We are finally freeing this series from Nintendo handhelds. Long overdue 🥹🥹🥹

Xbox is in a worse spot, but Sony and PlayStation feel like they are in a situation they can't dig themselves out of. Feels like they are just constantly running into a wall.

How are we doing another Telltale Walking Dead collection, there already is one 😅

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

As in, the list was there on the game page in my library but nothing was unlockable.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Not necessarily, I have played several beta builds that have included full achievements on Steam and those games haven't released for 9-18 months. Think it's just very dependent on when a dev decides to nail them down.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Not the biggest fan of the semi open world stuff in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, but the final four hours might be perfect. What a game

001

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Will be such a huge loss if they do go under. Shame they make the exact type of game no one with money wants to fund anymore.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Strikes me as a December release, shadowdrop during Game Awards. Calling it now.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Season 3, probably the game's last hope. I do hope this PvE mode is something special and exciting.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

An absolutely insane 90 seconds.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush isn't a bad game, but it's a vibeless one. It has no atmosphere, feels hollow, and the courses are repetitive and lack creativity. Forza Horizon but Hot Wheels should have been a slam dunk but this is a huge whiff. My review: www.gamerguides.com/hot-wheels-i...

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Extremely weird Nacon is just liquidating this whole studio but still releasing their game which is presumably, unfinished. Who are they getting to work on this. They have no money 😅

Basically burying the service's usefulness with this. 15 hours is nothing

I will say the Trilogy Edition of FFVII Remake Trilogy is insane value. The first two games for pennies, significantly below their lowest ever sales prices.

Echo Apsey @echoapsey.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Fast forward cutscenes is the least of anyone's problems these days, especially because I have played like a dozen games that already do this. Stalker 2 had it like 2 years ago.

Time to jump back in to the madness, and I don't mean the game lmao
