Hey gamers! I'm thinking of creating a women-led luxury gaming magazine or book. I have a quick 4 question survey to gauge interest in it. Please fill it out even if it's a "not for me" it would be hugely helpful. Also please share so I can get more data! forms.gle/ZD9Gen7C4foe...

“He likes power, and I feel like this is giving him some sort of power. It’s all about power and control in everything he does…” White supremacists who talk about “protecting women” from migrants are, unsurprisingly, violent misogynists. They do not want women’s safety — they want to control women.

today was my first day being OFFICIALLY laid off, and my first @gamespot.com byline.... what a coincidence! 🦋 www.gamespot.com/articles/sil...

I spoke to several sources working hard at The Coalition, who have experienced increased anxiety around layoffs and promised Metacritic bonuses since Xbox's Reset. The sudden cut of story director Juan Vaca only fueled these fears. Read it below!

RPS have been doing a great job lately of pulling out peculiar interview angles that yield unusual headlines and memorable design insights. Not to be taken for granted in an age of google-driven journalistic decay! www.rockpapershotgun.com/i-always-see...

I now have a Patreon! I'd love to build a community of people who love old retro gaming setups and keep making stuff for people to enjoy. If you love old consoles, CRT TVs, and hate that social media is dominated by AI slop setups, then I have you covered. www.patreon.com/flipsatan/po...

(shattered? fly-swatted?) anyway i've been laid off. i joined gamesradar+ as a freelancer in 2023, and the site had my lifelong admiration by the time i became a senior writer in 2024. i'll miss it lmk if u need a creepy🧟‍♀️ gurl: ashleybardhan(at)gmail(dot)com

In recent years, the media has quietly begun to change the way in which it writes about Bobby Kotick, the former CEO of Activision Blizzard. PMG investigates how Kotick used the threat of defamation to reshape his legacy in the games business, one article at a time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKwp...

Really blown away by how great The Sinking City 2 is. Frogwares really nail that modern survival horror feel. When it was announced, I was unsure about the genre pivot, but it really pays off!

It's live! An amazing Back to the Future mod for Vice City has been in development for years. I spoke to some of the team all about it - including one who recorded sounds from a real DeLorean for it. All the thanks to @andybrown202.bsky.social for the opportunity! www.gamesradar.com/games/grand-...

It just sucks to be restricted to one walled garden market after a lifetime of hunting for pre-owned deals.

Extremely excited to share a massive piece I worked very hard on. I talked to FFXIV’s Naoki Yoshida, Warframe’s Rebecca Ford, and ESO’s Nick Giacomini anout what the future of MMORPGs looks like - and how the live service scene has altered that, if at all www.gamesradar.com/games/mmo/ho...

Myself and the wonderful humans at @gamesradarplus.bsky.social have been working on a brand new podcast celebrating female gamers, and challenging v.outdated stereotypes. So here’s the first EP of G+RLS. I hope you enjoy it (new ep every other Friday!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFUU...

Oh, look, it's me talking about GAMES! I've been playing Fable 3 on PC, and if you're longing to dive back into the RPG series, you should try and find a physical copy today, esp if you're not waiting on Fable 4. Thanks so much to the wonderful @andybrown202.bsky.social for letting me ramble 💕

Project Zomboid secretly has some of the best horror writing in games and if you're into that sort of thing it's really worth your time! Therefore so is this:

I went very deep into Black Flag Resynced for this review, which has me questioning the whole 'remake' thing entirely. Pretty pleased with how this came out.

One way you can show Microsoft your concern is here through the XBOX Player Voice feedback platform: feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/ide...

I'll be at Gamescom this year! (perpetually moving between currywurst)

It's been a busy month, but that's not stopped us from putting together a chunky list of Steam Next Fest demo recommendations you still have time to try over the weekend 🔥

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

Exceptional reporting from @woodwould.bsky.social, who asked more than 30 developers for their thoughts on generative AI in game development. (spoiler: no thank you) Read: www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...
