Alrighty everyone—everything/anything I reach the credits screen on is getting a post in this thread. I’m hoping to clear out as much of my backlog as I can!

Give it a listen y’all, you won’t regret it!

Holy fucking shit I COMPLETELY repressed that I also reached the car
Edits for this miserable garbage fire of a game…

ogto @ogto.bsky.social · 21h

probably not THE worst, but first that game to mind. clearly in the running for worst

GeorgieBoysAXE @georgieboysaxe.bsky.social · 20h

The Addams Family (TurboGrafx CD)
Way of the Warrior (3DO)
(In hindsight) Bioshock Infinite

These are like, just the games that IMMEDIATELY come to mind—most others get dropped after a few tries.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

I know that it is probably very juvenile to think this way but this week has already left me exhausted, because so many people who made this world better have suddenly left it, and the ones making it worse are still here

For an open-world game with non-linear progression, the pathfinding in Ghost of Yōtei sure feels annoyingly narrow.

I keep bumping up against invisible edges that seem to be actively funneling me onto a different route towards something else, almost like a reverse Tears of the Kingdom approach…

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

For #ScanlineSunday, I again felt a certain way like I did with #RandomGameSaturday & went with Super Genjin 2, the Bonk that no one talks about, & probably the silliest one in the whole series!

Even though the weapon/item droprates & resources are tuned with a more modern sensibility than other games in the SH series, or even other survival horror games, the pacing of “f” has this uncanny PS2-ass feel to it that’s just comforting to play. The world building is rad too—Ryukishi07 killed it.

16.) Silent Hill f

I wasn’t expecting this game to seep its way under my skin (intentional pun) but man does this new entry do an incredible job of being a return to form for Silent Hill, yet something that’s new/different.

The combat & puzzles might be a little clunky, but they’re also nostalgic?

Spent the day trying out a new hiking trail AND a new place to chow down afterwards—a few mishaps that may have caused some injuries, but other than that, it was another solid day in Pacifica with my favorites!

GeorgieBoysAXE @georgieboysaxe.bsky.social · 3d

Holy shit what?! The Bubsy 4D demo is out?! Currently working on a big video feature for PPR regarding the Bubsy series so this totally works out!

GeorgieBoysAXE @georgieboysaxe.bsky.social · 3d

Almost missed #RandomGameSaturday (I have a pretty good reason why that I’ll share in a bit!) Luckily, we got home early, & well, I’ve been feeling a certain way, so yeah—AEW Fight Forever is my pick this week.

This game did not get its flowers, & it really is one of the most fun puroresu jams out!

New challengers are approaching DC K.O. this February...

GeorgieBoysAXE @georgieboysaxe.bsky.social · 4d

Any word if it’ll be available on the Atari VCS storefront or have a digital version available for the Harmony cart?

It’s really wormed it’s way under my skin, like—it’s handily one of my Top 5 for 2025.

At this point everyone involved with the DHS should honestly be tried at The Hague.

Seriously, this is so fucked…

Never have I seen such a gross misunderstanding of what makes something special…

Using an AI slop trailer to usher in a “new era” for a conference that’s famous for people sharing their labors of love is like just…I can’t even think of something witty to compare it to—it’s just shit from an ass.

Yes but the hitch is that a LOT of the games only work in PAL mode, so you’ll need a multisync monitor to get mileage out of it! I also recommend the honeybee competition controller

I recommend this seller for the goods too! ebay.us/m/AM7BEs
