How are we defining “packaged?” Because Costco’s are top of the top, if these count.

Just reached Kijimi in Star Wars Outlaws. The planet was gorgeous in Rise of Skywalker, so this was a cool pick by Ubisoft. Obviously long existing planets like Tatooine are gonna hold more appeal to fans, but it’s neat to see the newer ones getting fleshed out.

Reading an old Daredevil comic, and this villain’s deranged internal monologue written in the ‘80s just seems like the kind of X/Twitter post you’d see from a White House official in 2026.

It’s cool when the perfect photo mode shot happens in a video game and you don’t even have to play around with the filters or change anything.

Caught not one, but two Shiny Yungoos today! If I didn’t know any better, I’d think there was a Community Day and no one told me!

Maybe I’m just a big Star Wars nerd. Maybe I haven’t played enough Ubisoft open world games to be sick of them. Regardless, this is really doing it for me.

But only, ONLY, if it included this scene. Hell, make it a Musou adaptation of the movie!

As a fan of both Resident Evil and the Muppets, My Friendly Neighborhood is an absolutely bizarre combination. Yet it kind of works in a way many other horror parodies fail, because it seems like the creators have a lot of reverence for both properties. Enjoying this weird game so far.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder was easily my favorite game of 2023, and the best 2D Mario since Super Mario World. I gave it a rare perfect score, and played the hell out of it leading up to embargo. So the idea of new stuff to do has always been appealing, but it definitely hinges on what’s there for me.

Yes, it’s very weird to add new content to a one year old port of a 15 year old game. But you know what? It doesn’t matter, because the very best Kong has finally arrived.

Now that I’ve put a good few hours in, I really can’t believe people slept on Star Wars Outlaws. This is fun and absolutely gorgeous.

Pretty solid results for Pokémon Go Community Day. After a weak showing during the Piplup Community Day Classic, I got way more Shiny Grookey than needed. Plus, I got to power up my Dynamax Rillaboom pretty significantly. Not bad.

Post the first game you actually completed!
This is a very tough call, but I want to say it was the SNES version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time. I can safely say I didn’t beat anything in the NES era (I was pretty young!) so I’m pretty sure I beat this before anything else.
