Doom: The Dark Ages Review: Brutal, challenging, and laugh-out-loud funny www.videogameschronicle.com/review/doom-...

The unprecedented double dunt

WAR. IS. OVER.

Nothing but respect for MY director.

Morning

Helsinki, I wasn’t familiar with your game.

I am in Helsinki, Finland to visit Remedy Entertainment. Mountains of content, both serious and otherwise, coming soon to VGC and Patreon.com/VideoGamesChronicle

“Boarding complete” with two empty seats next to me. This is to see the face of God.

Got my dad’s verdict on today’s news.

Obviously, it's been a very long time since 5, but I'm still very surprised at just *how* good the visuals look for GTA 6.

It really can't be undersold how big this game is going to be.

Pokémon Black Bolt and Pokémon White Flare will be the English Pokémon TCG’s first-ever dual set when they release in July. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/pokemon...

Gears of War is a fantastic game, but have you considered: Gears of War 2

Gears of War: Reloaded is coming this August to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/gears-o...

How weird this was to write will only ever be topped by when Marcus Fenix is replaced in that header image with Master Chief.

Pokémon’s upcoming trading card game set, which will celebrate 15 years of Pokémon Black and White, will feature an illustration rare card for every Unova Pokémon, in a franchise first. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/every-u...

Recording this tomorrow, get your questions re: ripping and tearing in here.

I always miss the anniversary date, but I've just realised that my first, truly terrible, blog reviewing games is now over 15 years old. I've now been doing this for over half my life. I gave Super Street Fighter 4 a 9.5 out of 10, which, in retrospect, is low.

Do you have questions about Doom: The Dark Ages? Leave them below, and we'll answer them in our Review Q&A, which will be posted alongside the review on Friday, May 9.

We've somehow released over 100 things on Patreon in the last year, so I've made a post for all the new folks that should highlight some of the best bits. It's a free post, so if you're not sure about joining, feel free to check it out. www.patreon.com/posts/128114...

From the December 20, 2024 episode of The VGC Podcast, @scully1888.bsky.social finds inner peace while @jordanmiddler.bsky.social and @andyrobinson.bsky.social duke it out.

Genuinely staggered by the support we’ve had this week. I really don’t love this kind of promo; but the number of folk who’ve said they have meant to sign up for months and never got around to it is huge. There is a future for games media. Support your favourite indie. Patreon.com/VideoGamesCh...

“Sure, we might not be allowed to ever make Nintendo accessories again, but think of the 9 days of press!!!!”

Sun is shining in Scotland, so it’s a great day to sit inside and absolutely no-life a game.

I'm reviewing Doom: The Dark Ages. Check out my review on VGC on Friday, May 9, at 7 am/10 am PDT/EDT, 3 pm/4 pm BST/CEST.

Me when Scullion started working in games media.

Shite week. Shite few months. Shite shite shite.

Reaction: The delay of GTA 6 is going to have a massive impact on 2025 and 2026. @jordanmiddler.bsky.social and @scully1888.bsky.social react to the news. Does Rockstar regret releasing the first GTA 6 trailer when it did? youtu.be/EMTTgU8mv_c

We went back in the studio to record our reactions to the news that GTA 6 has been delayed. youtu.be/EMTTgU8mv_c

If you thought things were bad in games media now, that GTA 6 delay just cost jobs.

We finished recording the podcast 25 minutes ago

Grand Theft Auto 6 has been delayed to 2026. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/grand-t...

Thanks for all the support. Trust me, I would much, much rather stop making these "protect games media," posts, but it never ends. I am so, so sick of seeing my pals and peers get sacked.
