The funniest thing about the 30 posts the CBS News Twitter account made is that most of them have like... a couple hundred likes total.

I wrapped up Outer Worlds 2 over the weekend and really enjoyed it. And as someone who has replayed Fallout 3/NV too many times, it's nice to have a new Bethesda-like FPS/RPG to play around with until Fallout 5 arrives in 2035.

Folks, tell me what your favorite in-game moments were this year. This can be a narrative moment, a new mechanic introduction, or whatever you interpret that question to mean. RTs appreciated

Control was my GOTY in 2019 and it remains so now. One of my all time favorites. Got the platinum on PS4 and PS5.
Quote this with what you would have said your game of the year was at the end of 2019, and what you would say your favourite game of 2019 is now, if it differs

Silent Hill f writer knows you don't really want to see "a happily ever after," and the game's horrific portrayal of young womanhood makes it my GOTY

It's time once again to take a look at the last year of Xbox/Game Pass and figured what was good (the game) and what was bad (basically everything else.)

Chatting with @videogameworkers.bsky.social at their protest outside The Game Awards. ✊
Before the Game Awards in LA last week, a US video game workers union turned up to protest. "Anyone who works in the games industry can identify that our art form is being sold for parts to make a few people a lot of money." @alyssamerc.bsky.social reports

A big year for Xbox amid a messy multiplatform shift.

What's the future look like when the head of Microsoft Gaming celebrates an indie release like Keeper but not Halo coming to PlayStation?

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff
