It’s the fact that it looks a lot like PlayStation Home that sold me on the vibes.

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I'm IN LOVE with a set of live service games and try to play them on a rota every day, this one's gotta get in there somewhere.

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 Thieve Looks Like It's Going Full MMO

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

I don't think there's anything profound here, just a point in life that I definitely would have hidden from a couple of years ago and now I feel like I've gained something because I've really lived through a lot of stuff scarier than saying "hi" to someone I was in school with.

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Entangled with mine and it all feels like it was building towards this moment in the future, still in the future today, with that reconnection being something important. No idea why, no idea what, but the catlyst was grabbing the moment with both hands and diving in and not shying away...

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

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...

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

And yes, I have included mention of BOTH of Gamescom's statements on the matter.

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

If there are more of you out there, please reach out! The outpouring of support from those in the community for these devs has been brilliant, and I want to do everything in Bonus Action's power to showcase these amazing games that have had the absolute worst luck.

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

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.

Huge thank you to @deadgoodmedia.bsky.social for bringing me along to try it out and putting on the best show any of us could have hoped for. Also for getting what might be the best picture of me ever.

I hope you covered how he instantly closes websites and lays off the staff because he doesn’t understand the modern media landscape anymore. Also replaced many writers with AI.

I honestly couldn't be more excited for the future of Apex Legends than I am right now. It's got the same vibe as that day in 2019 when we all knew something was about to be announced but had no idea of what was to come.

Jamie Sharp @jaysharpwrites.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

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...

Sorry if I've already shared this but here is my preview of Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth just ahead of the Steam Next Fest demo that is now there for you to play too. It's going to be a brilliant sequel of sorts. bonus-action.com/preview/moom...

I was and am still very hyped about Battlefield 6 Season 2, so I wrote about that. This is a big season that appeals to me, so I'm hoping that applies to a few of you out there too. bonus-action.com/feature/batt...

Next up is pretty on brand for me. A piece about how Marathon's vibes have changed so much since the initial announcement. Note: This is my opinion and it doesn't have to be yours, I didn't write this for a fight. bonus-action.com/feature/mara...

Even hardcore horror fans are going to feel this one in the deepest, most squeamish parts of their bodies. It's akin to THAT moment in Kane Pixels' Backrooms and nothing apart from this game has made me feel that way since I first watched it.

I'm writing and covering as much as I can. I'm on some heavy painkillers with this broken back so pulling brains together is hard but I'm doing my best. Still very much open to being told news about your cool games on: jamiemoorcroftsharp (at) hotmail (dot) com

I've also put my thoughts out there about FBC: Firebreak's Endless Shift mode. I really really love this mode, but, most importantly, it's wide open to people who are brand new to the game. bonus-action.com/feature/fbc-...

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!
