Microsoft: Upgrade when you’re ready to, but in the meantime have access to hundreds of games for $10. Sony: Throw all your old shit in the bin and get $500 together right this second otherwise we’re cutting you off and leaving you behind. Internet: Fuck you, Microsoft.

How long does it take to go from turning the Xbox Series X on to actually playing a game? Honestly, it might be too fast.

Breaking News: I am now the UK Managing Editor of GamesRadar+. It feels weird to say goodbye to the Features section after nearly four years at the helm, but I'm excited to move into this new position. And yes, you can buy me a celebratory drink the next time that you see me.

Alan Wake 2 is an absolute triumph. A smart and imaginative sequel that isn't afraid to play with expectations. It's an awesome adventure, and one of the best looking games of the generation. My 5/5 review: gamesradar.com/alan-wake-2-re…

Embracer has done irreparable damage to the video game industry. A raft of acquisitions based on an outfield two billion dollar bet, the collapse of which has left thousands of developers without work and led to the closure of some of the industry's best studios.

There is an ethics problem in the games industry, but it has nothing to do with journalists. YouTubers/Influencers that masquerade as independent voices while serving advertorial content, without appropriate disclosure, to predominately young audiences is a very real problem.

This is something that only a small group of journalists will likely care about, but I can't wait for Bethesda to release some actual Starfield screenshots. If I have to insert this weird render into another article I will cry. Tonight might be the night.

Long, necessary, and extremely insightful thread on the complexity of video game creation and stupidity at the heart of the blockchain/NFT dream.

I see many of you have questions. There’s a very good chance that I answered them in my extremely comprehensive Xbox Series X preview for GamesRadar+. It’s 6,000 words of hands-on impressions, additional context, and last-gen contrasts. gamesradar.com/xbox-series-x-…

It was great to find the time to chat to Sean Murray about The Last Campfire. It's the first new adventure out of @hellogames since 2016, back when @NoMansSky took us beyond the clouds and out into the stars.
With The Last Campfire, Hello Games is exploring a future beyond No Man's Sky

Control is the spiritual successor to Second Sight and Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy that I've been waiting 15 years to play. Surprising absolutely nobody, @remedygames' latest is my most anticipated game of 2019 and I'm desperate to play more of it.
Control is taking the fight to Death Stranding to be crowned the most unusual action game of 2019
