Maybe the weirdest thing about Nintendo is that it's selling the cheapest and least powerful hardware (which won't play GTA 6) and yet it's the face of financial and creative stability.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer largely sticks the landing to me. A tight arcade racer with Burnout’s DNA pumping through it. Between this and Zero Company, a great reminder that Star Wars still has plenty of juice (especially outside of the movies)

Since this summer, @himynameiszack.bsky.social has been singing the praises of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, and that held true in the final release www.pcmag.com/news/star-wa...

Star Wars: Galactic Racer Was One of the Best Games I Played at Summer Game Fest
After years of waiting, Star Wars: Galactic Racer's Outer Rim rallies finally bring back breakneck Burnout energy, making for one of 2026's most unique and exhilarating multiplayer games.

The best part of Control Resonant is how it understands the freaky liminal appeal of simply existing in New York City. My latest for @pcmag.com www.pcmag.com/news/control...

‘Control Resonant’ Loves Freaky New York City Just as Much as I Do
This surreal sequel is instantly one of gaming’s best depictions of the Big Apple, an urban kaleidoscope that’s unnerving to witness yet incredible to explore.

Returning to Vice City Put Me in the Perfect Mood for GTA 6
But GTA 6 is, ultimately, just one video game. It’s important not to forget the fact that all of this hype only exists because we’re talking about the next entry in a long line of excellent video games. I wanted to reclaim some of this perspective, remember my excitement for GTA 6 the game, not just the media spectacle. So with a few weeks to go before launch, I reconnected with the franchise’s roots by revisiting Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. This pilgrimage worked like a charm, and playing this blast from the past has me even more pumped for the future.

Even the most well meaning and woke white people will have implicit bias against black people. your success is suspicious to them, and they react to that with fear and conspiracy. Often they harass you in the name of social justice!
