one of my favorite things is receiving a bunch of bogus game code requests on a day when i have the time. i will check if your email address matches that channel’s public email and will respond with their real email cc’ed. pisses me off when i’m slammed, but when i have the time it’s all fun.

After years of videogames trying to recreate the one-shot take, 007 First Light and Mixtape are bringing back the art of the jump cut in 2026. But though they’re quick in execution, they’re not exactly easy to implement. We speak to Beethoven & Dinosaur + @blendogames.bsky.social to understand why.

Videogames Are Rediscovering the Jump Cut

Standout sequences in 007 First Light and Mixtape have embraced one of cinema's favourite tools. But if it were that easy to use, everyone would be doing it.

Another Tennocon in the books, and my favorite thing about it? I realized why I've been in love with Soulframe since last year's reveal. It's nature. As we're pushed into being climate-killing people enamored with tech, this game may just be what we need right now:

'Soulframe' Just May Be The Game We Need Right Now - Even In Pre-Alpha

It's easy to lose hope in protecting the world, but Soulframe Preludes and its updates and Fables just may be the game we need right now.

I’ve felt weird talking about it cuz I’m just a freelancer, I’ve written various versions of this post before deleting But I’ve also been affected by the commerce layoffs at GameSpot and, as always, could use more work. I still have some time for appts during SDCC, and for reviews, previews etc.

I do not have a review of Mixtape (my interview with the game’s director will be live in the morning) but I will say this: it is, for me, pretty firmly one of the coolest games ever made

Mixtape sings to me like very few other games ever have. A musical coming-of-age story that is as consistently funny as it is stylish. It's out today, and I can't recommend it highly enough. My 10/10 review on IGN: www.ign.com/articles/mix...

Mixtape is a Masterful Music-Propelled Coming of Age Story, and One of 2026’s Very Best Games — IGN Review
