I went to check it out on the PS store last night. . . Turns out I already own it but have never played it😅 putting it high up on the 'to play' list now!

Yes, I have to admit Pyre is the one SG game I've not played yet but have only heard good things about it. I wish they ported it onto the Switch. Maybe I will boot up the PS5 and get it played next year

Hades 2 is an excellent game.

If Hades was @supergiantgames.bsky.social masterpiece, this sequel is the refinement of everything that made it special.

Not flawless (those boss fights do get repetitive), but it’s damn close.

Just dropped my first proper YouTube review!

It’s all about @supergiantgames.bsky.social’s incredible Hades II — easily one of the best games I’ve played this year.

But here’s the big question…

Is it actually better than the original, one of my all-time favourites ?

Check out my list of the 10 games I'd happily get lost in if I ever ended up on a desert island (and my Switch 2 survived the crash).

Love the photo mode in Pokémon Z-A.

Should every game have one?

My new podcast review of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars explores how one of gaming’s grittiest series found a surprisingly perfect home on the Nintendo DS.

Stylus-based carjacking? Drug deals on a Nintendo console? Yeah, it’s wild.

GTA: Chinatown Wars — the DS crime story you probably missed.

Still chaotic. Still hilarious. Still very Rockstar.

Mental!!

BUT, the game would benefit greatly from voice acting. I know Game Freak and the Pokémon Company are tiny Devs with a tight budget but I hope they fork out the cash for good voice actors in Gen 10 🤞🏼

Played about 2 hours of Pokémon Z-A and like it so far.

It runs well, looks pretty (for a Pokémon game), has no weird bugs (so far) and has a cool group of supporting characters.

It is very hand-holdy at the start, I wish it would let me go off and explore the city but I can't wait for more!
