Full faith in Matt Reeves that The Batman: Part II's script is good. Two years to go! www.ign.com/articles/the...

I can't believe I got to work with Mike for an all-too-brief time at IGN. Look at him now! Check out his super funny appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers to hear about his days working at Nintendo, his awkward Nintendo-themed wedding, and his new book (that you should get!)

Hi! Are you a game developer who is currently or fairly recently has published a game on Nintendo Switch and/or Switch 2? Is your game being published your game in the Japan/Asia eshop? I have a few questions for you for a story on IGN! Can keep folks anonymous. Signal/email in bio!

I don’t want bees anywhere near my junk, thank you very much!

Movie franchises that started PERFECT but became terrible with too many sequels: 1) Jurassic Park 2) Terminator 3) Indiana Jones 4) Jaws And I think Alien is teetering on the edge, personally. What else? Again, I'm talking 10/10 or 9/10 films whose sequels got REALLY BAD.

I've been out at an appointment all morning so I haven't had a chance to share today's new episode of Unlocked! We lay out the case for why next year – and specifically next Fall – could rival Fall 2007 as the best quarter of game releases in Xbox history www.youtube.com/watch?v=9B5c...

This despicable incident is, to me, indicative of a generation of people (the "fan" here is 22) who have grown up thinking that leaving reprehensible comments on social media and YouTube is OK. (Google's and social media's total failure to police the toxicity is another issue.)

Came back to my office after eating lunch to find this. 😂

We just recorded what I think will be an awesome episode of Unlocked. Can't wait to share it with you tomorrow morning!

Teething puppy alert! 🚨 (And yes I’m ok with this; the desk has been in bad shape for a while now, and it’s so old it literally predates home computers so it’s not the best for working off of.)

A quirky – not bad, just funny – little part of my job is when I am the first external person to play a developer's new game, and as I'm playing it (for the first time, obviously), a bunch of them sit around and watch just to see how it goes. I do think, "Don't die!" though. 😂

Just spent a bunch of money on IMAX Superman tickets for my family and I. PLEASE BE GOOD

Uh huhuhuhuhuhuh you said "duty" www.ign.com/articles/bea...

Before seeing Elio over the weekend, I hadn't been to a movie theater in a year (since Deadpool & Wolverine). I know ads before movies are nothing new, but with Elio we sat through 30 MINUTES of ads. And movie theater chains wonder why no one wants to go to theaters anymore...

Obviously The Punisher won't be doing any violent punishing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, but my interest in this movie just went way up (and the Spidey films are probably my favorite modern MCU sub-franchise already). Bernthal rocks in this role! www.ign.com/articles/jon...

I really enjoyed Elio! It wasn’t the funniest Pixar film or the most emotional, but it was an excellent story, told well, and I had a great time watching it. To fellow parents: there’s one part that might be a bit scary for littler kids, just as an FYI.

We're talking about Xbox's and PlayStation's vague next-gen announcement this week on Next-Gen Console Watch. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp9x...

I finally just watched the Donkey Kong Bananza Direct from this morning, and I'm more convinced than ever that this might fill the Super Mario Odyssey-sized hole in my heart. It looks really fantastic so far.

I love Bruce Springsteen so I'm intrigued by this new biopic. It could be awesome or terrible, but since it stars The Bear I'm more inclined to think it'll be great. I hope so! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mbt-...

Elio! Looks like it's getting pretty great reviews everywhere, including IGN. Personally, I liked Luca but Soul was the last time I felt the "Pixar magic." Hopefully Elio delivers it too. Might be hitting the theater a lot this summer, as it turns out! www.ign.com/articles/eli...

So, they ARE building a first-party handheld, then? That's how I interpreted Sarah's words in the middle of the video. Anyway, this otherwise just confirms they're sticking with AMD. The compatibility thing isn't news. Can you imagine if they suddenly pivoted AWAY from back-compat? 😜 That'd be NUTS

"I’m not interested in that. I’m not interested in a funny, campy Batman, really." Music to my ears, @jamesgunn.bsky.social More from the DC Studios boss here, including letting @mattreevesla.bsky.social cook: www.ign.com/articles/jam...

Most Xbox fans (including me) seem to agree that Xbox had a very good Showcase this year despite the absences of: Halo, Gears (E-Day), Fable, Perfect Dark, Forza Horizon, Elder Scrolls 6 Realistically, we should see ALL of those at next year's Showcase, other than TES6 (maybe a story teaser?). 👀

I love movie theaters, but with how quick films go to streaming, I'm often happy to just wait & watch at home. Superman, Fantastic 4, & Jurassic World are making me want to go to the theater for the first time since Deadpool & Wolverine. I hope they're fun! www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_l5...

I can't think of the last time I saw a comedy film in a theater. After watching today's new trailer for The Naked Gun reboot, this might be...actually good and funny? Seems like they've nailed the Naked Gun tone, and Neeson is great casting IMHO. www.ign.com/articles/the...

I got a hands-off demo of Mouse: P.I. for Hire, the hand-drawn-and-animated first-person shooter and I really liked what I saw! Fortunately I got footage of most of what I saw, so I present that to you along with my thoughts on it. I dig it! www.ign.com/articles/mou...

The beginning of “For Whom the Bell Tolls” by Metallica makes me want to run through a brick wall, every single time. What an adrenaline-inducing piece of music.

We're talking about Switch 2's wins and losses after one week on the market on this week's new episode of Next-Gen Console Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Np8i...

MindsEye gives off serious Crime Boss: Rockay City vibes IMHO. It's insane to me that Leslie Benzies, a 20+ year veteran of Rockstar/the GTA series, chose THIS as his first project since leaving. 😬 Dude probably had all the clout in the world to get something made, & yet this was how it turned out.

I try to be optimistic, but unless Rick Moranis comes back, I'm going to have a hard time believing that Spaceballs 2 is going to come anywhere close to the original. Still, there's a chance! I hope the great Mel Brooks can deliver. The teaser is funny! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsK-...

The tech in Crimson Desert is insanely impressive IMHO: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EO4...

Thank you to all 1.3+ million of you that have watched our exclusive 30 minutes of IGN First gameplay from Dying Light: The Beast so far. I got to play it the other day and it's super fun. Seems like it's going to be a bit more focused than the first two. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aa9N...

Two of our resident Resident Evil superfans (@lawoftd.bsky.social & @brazyazn.bsky.social) got to play Resident Evil Requiem! First hands-on impressions here (article and video): www.ign.com/articles/res...

Want to know what Invincible VS is like to play? @ign.com contributor @edgarallanbro.bsky.social – a self-described fighting game sicko – got his hands on it. Here are his first impressions: www.ign.com/articles/inv...

If you missed our live Unlocked post-show right after the Xbox Showcase, reacting to everything Microsoft announced, here's the video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep4R...

I played Ninja Gaiden 4! And my first impressions...well, let's just say I wish I was still playing Ninja Gaiden 4 right now. Check out my full preview (and I encourage you to watch the video!) on @IGN: www.ign.com/articles/nin...

I just played Out of Words, the always-co-op stop-motion animated puzzle platformer that was shown in the SGF Showcase. It was FANTASTIC. It’s got a chance to be truly special. Here’s the trailer if you’re not familiar: youtu.be/5MiDeueTKbI?...
