If there’s any justice at all left on this big orb, I hope so

It doesn’t look like it, which is criminal. Suppose you could turn the smile upside down but that’s not the same

Fiiiiiinally. Been waiting for this for 10 years, played it briefly at BitSummit two years ago and loved it.

Well, when we launch Milk Chronicle I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

We deal in facts, not assumptions, and the fact is it's officially being called a console. We've seen nothing of this device, and until we do we're sticking with the official terminology.

A hybrid console is still a console.

Xbox refers to Project Helix as "the code name for our next generation console". Until we see solid evidence of anything suggesting otherwise, we're going by what the manufacturer is calling it.

I love this. My 7-year-old daughter loves Splatoon too, I hope your girl continues to absolutely rock it.

I think it'll live or die by its staging but based on the song itself I think it's a solid start

I very much love this, but I have to admit that after reading β€œI PROGRAMMED A MOO” I can’t stop thinking about robot cows now

I've had WWE 2K26 out of my eyeballs for the last week. Here's 3,000 words on the fella.

Hi, I wrote the article - this is the terminology the research firm used throughout its report, so that's what I went with. Because the report covers players aged 16+, technically it's not exclusively referring to 'women' (in the UK for example, they're legally considered children until 18).

First-party, even.

Look, it's been a week already

If the next Xbox can indeed run Steam games, then it makes sense that PlayStation would take this step to prevent a loophole killing all first-person console exclusivity

Saw a report saying if Disney still wants to go ahead and build a Disneyland in Abu Dhabi, it'll need to install missile defence systems because a US corporate landmark will be considered a "soft target" for aggressors who don't want to attack the US directly.

That's Star Wars land guaranteed then

One thing I love about Scott Pilgrim EX is that it's packed with references to other games, but they're often subtle ones where if you get it, you'll smile and if you don't, there's no harm done.

As a big fan of the first Scott Pilgrim game I was hoping the sequel wouldn't drop the ball.

It definitely doesn't.

100%. I get that it's a psychological thing and that on paper it's technically the same outcome, but if it's something I'm not previously familiar with, "here's our game, give it a shot" is more likely to get me to engage with it than "here's our game, ask us and we'll let you give it a shot"

Unless I'm interpreting Jeff's post wrong, I think he's saying (which I agree with) that if it's a game that isn't necessarily on our radar, receiving a Steam key directly in our email without us asking for it is far more likely to be redeemed than us having to click through to a site and request it

Based on the others it sounds like three AI takes on the same viewpoint. A lot of these people don't actually care about the review they're writing, they just want to throw in a 0 or 10 because they want to feel like they're making the biggest impact possible on the average score

Also, this is blatantly the same person

Just a reminder that while this is undoubtedly a story – not every game becomes number 1 on this list – the fact that Cory in the House on DS is at number 4 means this is more a sign of the game's popularity online rather than its quality.
