It's good that sites like GameRant are writing breakout news stories drawn from my reporting, but given that Postmode.org is independent and ad-free, would it kill you to drop the original source as a backlink? Literally an ideal hyperlink spot right there. gamerant.com/monster-hunt...

I reviewed Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve for @gamesradarplus.bsky.social!!! Glad to say it's absolutely brilliant. One of the best games of 2026 and of the series. Gameplay as tight as ever, 10/10 soundtrack, and a story I thought I'd tire of but absolutely loved. www.gamesradar.com/games/action...

Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve review: "Soars thanks to thrilling dogfights and a genuinely gripping Metal Gear-like story"

Turns out fast action, banging music, and big explosions are a good combo

At Tokyo Game Show, I played Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, then asked Capcom about: • Monster designs they cut • The influence of Exoprimal • Equal Dragon Weapon • Cheese Naan • A second Monster Hunter movie • How PC struggles shaped the Switch 2 port postmode.org/monster-hunt...

I really wanted to love the new Silent Hill, but it falls apart when you run into the monsters. Still worth checking out for the narrative and unique atmosphere regardless, as well as some of the series' hardest puzzles! postmode.org/silent-hill-...

An impressively exhaustive report on one of many morally bankrupt companies buying up old websites and turning them into zombie AI farms. In the games space this has happened to Videogamer, Game Reactor and more. Utterly bleak futurism.com/artificial-i...

Hello, this spring I visited charity shops all over the England to see what video games they had on the shelves. It was… educational. Please come and see what I discovered and add your own finds in the comments! www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

SingStar Take That anyone? The strange joy of charity shop video games

Hidden gems can be unearthed, but you have to dig deep into the bargain bins of countless outdated Fifas, Wii Fits without the controllers and partially finished quizshow games

New byline alert! First joint byline too! 🚨 Sarah and I checked out Pokémon Go Fest: Tokyo in Odaiba for One More Catch. It was our first Pokémon Go event experience, and despite the 32° heatwave, it was tons of fun. Pour one out for my portable air con, which died a hero during the final raid...
