Last thing from me this week: I previewed Moroi for @ign.com. It’s that good kind of weird and macabre and doesn't explain itself, which I appreciate. Satisfying combat, too. There’s a demo you can play on Steam! Thanks to @dmc-ryan.bsky.social for the opportunity. www.ign.com/articles/mor...

Hey folks, if ya got a minute... I'd love to see Selaco's score on Steam heal up... Recent reviews are still "Mixed" from hatebombing after recent drama with the Anti-Woke Awards (they ran an ad for the game, dev stated Selaco never asked for one, they got mad). It's BS, we all know the game rocks.

I’m happy to report that Avowed has the sauce, and this is perhaps Obsidian Entertainment at its absolute best. - @imluisgutierrez.bsky.social https://monstervine.com/2025/02/avowed-review-obsidian-rpg/

I reviewed #Avowed! @obsidianent.bsky.social and @xbox.com once again deliver an incredibly rich role-playing experience with great characters, meaningful choices, slick combat, and more. Check out my review — I’m proud of this one. techraptor.net/gaming/revie...

I got to spend a lot of time with Elden Ring Nightreign over the last couple weeks, and I am pleased to report that it's pretty remarkable in transforming Elden Ring into a very different animal and forcing you to live and die by your choices. www.shacknews.com/article/1430...

I interviewed several members of the VF community about why VF5: R.E.V.O. matters for @pcgamer.com. VF is so important, and it's so good to see that community get their moment and help them tell that story. Big thanks to @wes.readonlymemo.com for the opportunity. www.pcgamer.com/games/fighti...

Thanks to @xbox.com for providing a review code for Avowed! I am very excited to check this one out, being a fan of @obsidianent.bsky.social. You can expect my review on @techraptor.net on February 13th!

Writing about my favorite action game series is always a treat, and I loved doing it for IGN, even if it meant mainlining NG2B all weekend and destroying my sleep schedule. I've adored Ninja Gaiden since I played the first level of the '04 release on an OXM demo disk and I am so happy it's back.

One thing we'd like to make abundantly clear: We do not use AI. We do not want to use AI. We do not scrape reviews to build an AI tool. We will not work with AI companies. We want to be a human-driven, community website.

New Review by me! I really enjoyed the combat in #EternalStrands. It takes Breath of the Wilds "figure it out" approach to the next level. The rest was more up to taste but I think lots of folks will really love it. If you're in the edge, try the demo! The rest of the game is more and even better!

Previewed Karma: The Dark World for @ign.com , which does what really effective horror does: make you go deeper and deeper into some really messed-up places, the worst of which might be your own head. Thanks, as always, to @dmc-ryan.bsky.social for the opportunity. www.ign.com/articles/kar...

Some of TechRaptor's key editorial team members have announced CriticDB, a site aiming to be more than just a traditional review aggregator platform (although it certainly does that too).

Here is my highly inconsequential and very subjective top 10 games of the year for @techraptor.net! Still, I’ll take any chance to talk about the games I loved this year, so I hope you enjoy. techraptor.net/gaming/featu...

I wrote about Dynasty Warriors: Origins for Shacknews, how it both succeeds as a game you can play and fails because its story framing writes checks it can't cash and because the gameplay itself directly opposes the narrative. Extremely proud of this one. www.shacknews.com/article/1427...

Once upon a time, whenever Kirby came to the West he was kinda furious about it. For Polygon, I spoke to Nintendo’s former Localization Director Leslie Swan, former PR Manager Krysta Yang @kitandkrysta.bsky.social and 8-4's John Ricciardi @johntv.bsky.social to find out why.

Back at @digitaltrends.bsky.social for my first piece of the year. Wrote about World of WarCraft's 20th Anniversary event, and why a game releasing today ever getting to do something like this feels impossible. Thanks to @marioprime.bsky.social for running it. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/world...

First review of the year, this time with Freedom Wars Remastered. Originally a PS Vita title, it’s a Monster Hunter-ish game with a neat little hook. Check out my thoughts! techraptor.net/gaming/revie...

latest for shacknews (but not the last for the year)! i played and whipped up a quick response to the shadow dlc - it was over in a flash but serves as a reminder how much sega has finally nailed its 3D sonic mechanics (and cementing shadow as Actually Cool) www.shacknews.com/article/1425...

The end of the year is busy and even in December, a lot of games are dropping. Still, hoping to get some attention on my review for #RitasRewind by @digitaleclipse.bsky.social. It's a great game to play during the holidays when everyone is together! techraptor.net/gaming/revie...

I reviewed The Thing: Remastered by @nightdivestudios.bsky.social. An exciting game to experience as a fan of the movie, and studio's work remastering this game is, as always, great work. It's also available now, so surprise!

i was digging fantasian neo dimension for the first 20-ish hours, but its storytelling fizzles and it flips an obnoxious, ungraceful difficulty switch that makes an otherwise nuanced, thoughtful combat system miserable to engage with my latest review at shacknews! www.shacknews.com/article/1424...

New byline! I wrote about the WarCraft remasters for Digital Trends, how the remasters handle the games' legacy, and what they represent for the series and the industry. One more off the bucket list. Big thanks to @marioprime.bsky.social for the opportunity. www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/warcr...
