I’m no expert, but if they’re predicting yet another hardware decline that even the largest entertainment launch of all time can’t prevent, that’s probably not a great sign.

Personal Announcement! I’ve joined the review team over at @somnygames, so here is my very first written review, would love if you could show some support:

Always cool to see quotes or review scores you’ve provided make it into official marketing.
Only happened a few times thus far in the couple months I’ve been doing this, but I don’t think it’ll get old ☺️
Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam & critically acclaimed! 🧩
We couldn't have done this without you! As a huge thank you, we’re partnering with @PMStudiosUSA to bring physical editions of Order of the Sinking Star to PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027 💿 🌟

Just when I thought I couldn’t despair any more at the state of the industry.
Chastise the output of recent BioWare all you want, but still… this really, really hurts.
BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Not really any great news in this article, I must admit.
Still hope Xbox somehow navigates back to relevance and competitor status, but I continue to have very little confidence they’ll be able to meaningfully, tangibly do so.
As Xbox CEO Asha Sharma works to revitalize the storied gaming unit, the question remains: Can an industry outsider restore Xbox to its former glory, and under what structure? bit.ly/4yxMwPc
Absolutely loved what I’ve seen thus far of El Paso, Elsewhere 2. It seems set to be an improvement over the original in all the ways that matter. A more stylish, fine tuned, chaotic, and potently introspective ride. I can’t wait. @StrangeScaffold

By the way this means Day 1 dies.
Which it needs to, regardless.
But if you’re cheering for this as an Xbox fan, know what you’re signing up for - paying a la carte for every single game. No more freebies.
Oh & tens of millions of people have to buy each & every one.
NEW: Microsoft surveys ask players how they’d feel if Fallout, Elder Scrolls, or Minecraft became Xbox‑only.
It’s a hypothetical, but a bold one (especially for franchises with massive cross‑platform histories).
This could be Microsoft testing the waters for future strategy.

Had a great time in a hands-off preview of There Are No Ghosts at The Grand last week.
There’s some room for improvement, but the ideas and genres it’s blending is dripping with potential and, especially as a Brit, I can’t wait to dive in.

I’m back at it like a bad habit.
Echo Weaver is a great game that’s hamstrung a little by some design choices. While the experience was a bit messy, I can’t pretend I didn’t have a wonderful time each time I reset and was sent out into the world anew.

Hey… that’s my writing in the Yotei Complete Edition accolades trailer. Quite the first; this is pretty damn cool. Thanks @SuckerPunchProd!
Order of the Sinking Star is one of the most frustrating puzzle games I’ve ever played. The fact that it’s also among the best in recent years is testament to its quality. I haven’t even seen everything it has to give & I’m still head over heels.

With Echoes of Sekigahara & Most Wanted, @SuckerPunchProd have made a compelling, comprehensive package that embodies the best parts of the Ghost franchise.
It’s the best content the series has seen thus far, and it’s well worth carving time out for.

In other news, water is still wet.
"Xbox is not for sale," says Xbox CEO Asha Sharma. Microsoft's gaming chief is taking a "long-term view" of the Xbox division, amid rumors CEO Satya Nadella and CFO Amy Hood were considering selling off Xbox. Full details 👇 theverge.com/news/1002736/xb…
I had a great time with TOEM 2, but as I walked away I couldn’t help but feel disappointed in how closely it aped the original. Still heartily recommend it no doubt, but I was hoping for more on my second photographic adventure.
