The original Kirby Air Rider holds a special place in my heart, and the new one is better in almost every conceivable way. Here's my review!

Kirby Air Riders Review - Ter-Rick-fic
Kirby Air Riders is an impressive package that makes the most of its deceivingly simple mechanics.

I'm so, so sorry Belinda

I've had some good interactions, too. But, yeah, a lot of bloodthirsty raiders have killed me to take like 5 metal scraps

everyone who's been mean to me in Arc Raiders:

Your misdeeds and wrongdoings will live on for years to come in GameSpot's Arc Raiders video review. I hope you're happy.

It’s been forever since I played the 3DS games but ORAS is easily one of my faves followed by sun and moon I think?

Indigo Disk might be one of my favorite things Game Freak has done in so long. Definitely a big factor why it’s no 1 for me too

Couple notes:

1. this console gen was one of the most interesting runs for gamefreak. A ton of experimentation from game to game

2. the disappoint of BDSP still stings. no platinum content, buggy, limited dex. Gen 4 deserved better

3. yes, I have Kanto bias

ranking Pokémon games on switch for the heck of it:

1. Scarlet and Violet
2. Let’s Go
3. Legends Arceus
4. Sword and Shield
5. Legends ZA
6. BDSP

Hey journo pals! I am looking for a (paid) home to review the upcoming action-horror game Possessor(s) for. I have a code in hand, and am eager to dive into this one.

Shares are appreciated.

Hollow Knight is one of my all time favorites, so I wanted to review Silksong the right way. i took my time (quite a bit of it) in the hope that this does it service kotaku.com/hollow-knigh...
Hollow Knight: Silksong Review: A Stunning But Imperfect Sequel
The long-awaited sequel is a bold, defiant game with thrilling encounters and a gorgeous world, but it's also burdened by excess and the weight of expectations

At a film festival someone asked me if there's anything I'd change, and that's a brutal question to ask. There's a lot I'd do differently. That's the point of making things like this--learning, etc

But my first response was MORE BLOOD.

Anyway, whatever I make next will have a lot more blood.

I haven’t been able to find anything at major retailers like Target and GameStop (aside from a stray booster pack or commander precon) but my LGS always seems to have plenty

Today's Fire Escape Cast episode will be going up at 7pm Eastern due to an embargoed game we discuss.

Yeah, and it’s as broad as possible. That’s why scarlet and violet sold 27 million copies
October 18, 2025 at 4:05 PM
Unsurprising, but I’m talking targeted audience not actual audience
October 18, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Ha that’s fair! I mostly see men my age and older complaining

“Bag game” 😔
October 18, 2025 at 1:04 AM
so many 80 hour rpgs i wanna play... not nearly enough time
October 17, 2025 at 5:22 PM
couple thoughts on z-a:

1) bad graphics do not equate to a bag game and complaining about bad graphics does not equate to criticism. dig deeper. i beg you.

2) pokemon is not targeted at 30+ y/o men. it's fine if it doesn't spark the same joy it did when you were 4. its called getting older.
