Been writing more in the background! Ace Combat 8: Wings of Thieve's multiplayer already has me hooked from a trailer alone, so I had to write about it. bonus-action.com/feature/ace-...

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theive has an extensive online mode that looks to rival most MMOs when it comes to depth.

So, today I again had someone I went to school with come into the cafe and we reconnected, vaguely got to know each other again, and then moved on with our lives for now. It's insane to me sometimes how small the world is. This person wasn't anything special to me, but her family and friends are...

Right! The indie thefts from Gamescom really got my back up. I'm not able to help the devs financially, but we at Bonus Action are all about supporting those pushing creativity into the industry, so I wrote about all those affected that I could see. bonus-action.com/feature/so-g...

So Good They Were Stolen From Gamescom

Gamescom 2026 saw several developers fall victim to theft, meaning they lost out a lot, which is exactly why we're sharing them.

Within minutes of my last post the Apex team reached out to me and got me looped back in for Season 29 just in time for the embargo. My feature dropped earlier today on the new Legend and main new mechanic. bonus-action.com/news/axle-an...

Yesterday off of the back of No Man’s Sky’s new Xeno Arena update news I couldn’t stop myself writing. Had lots of fun with this piece and even called @nomansbsky.bsky.social a menace, which felt particularly appropriate! bonus-action.com/feature/no-m...

Very pleased to report my feelings on Marathon's Server Slam on the eve of the game's launch! This also features a short video I made, and this kind of complementary content is something I plan to do a lot more of moving forward on Bonus Action. bonus-action.com/feature/i-co...

A couple of things I've written recently! First is this piece about how cross-progression is maybe the best thing to ever happen to Hitman World of Assassination. bonus-action.com/feature/cros...

Don't forget about the Highguard Twitch Drops you can get right now! I watched Greek (ALGS) last night and earned the Banner and Mount and had a great time watching as well. These may not ever come back and you'll regret it if you don't get them for free right now.

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Just finished writing up some impressions for a new game mode in an already out there game that you can play right now. I'll le you read them and then decide if you wanna jump in, keep an eye out!

Hey, I just got an email from @thenorthfaceau.bsky.social and I would like to respectfully ask who the heck is able to buy what I can only describe as the black leather Michelin man coat for a quid shy of a grand? My £12 phone bill is getting halved so where did your marketing think I would land?

First thing I’ve written in a while is finally out! I’ve got opinions on why Battlefield Redsec is great and it’s not the reasons you might immediately jump to. bonus-action.com/feature/batt...

I don't think corporations realise that the reason people read articles about games is because they're full of thought, meaning, and emotion. I didn't buy magazines back in the day for guides and neither did anyone else. Features teams are the last people who should be laid off.

I've been lucky to find work in a local cafe where I'm thriving but a lot of people don't have that luxury and need support. VCG is a a cracking website you should make a daily visit to as well as any you don't want to see thrown in the bin. Major corporations do not care at all and will destroy...

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Right, it's hard to find time to write articles at the moment because my wife is working nights and I've gotta put 3 kids to bed and find time to BOTH play and write. So, let's have a good old stream of consciousness and fun stuff from the emails I've gotten recently...

I guess I have to change a little on here because working in a coffee shop full-time has given me a strange new view of people. Today, someone asked where the toilet was and then stood in it, asking if the light would just come on while the pull cord was right next to them. Eyes, use them.
