video games. irish whiskey. sport. beyblade in the big 2026.

Star Wars Galactic Racer doing the impossible for a racing game in 2026 by not having all track designs feature 17 lane wide roads. You love to see it.

I will not go for a 'big walk' in a video game. If I want to go for a 'big walk', I will simply emerge into reality and go for said 'big walk'. I will not be gaslit into believing that going for a 'big walk' is a 9/10 experience because we're that desperate to prove games are art.

Some might consider the best Konami series lore to be in Metal Gear Solid; but the streets know it's actually the hidden story in PES 2010 about how Messi killed Fernando Torres in between the PS3 and Wii releases of the game. The more you know.

Gran Temurismo (aka: Assoluto Racing) is out on Switch today. It sort of plays (and looks) like a forgotten early PSP version of Gran Turismo Polyphony put out on release of the console. Shame about the monetisation but not a bad punt at £14.

eFootball Kick Off! is quality. How did the Switch 2 get the best football sim in about 10 year...? So much better than standard eFootball. Here's some silky football with a classic fumble at the end.

Sometimes when I look at my Giulia I'm just like - HOW can a car look this good and be so affordable? Honestly, trying to convince myself I'm ready for a new car but it's gonna be difficult to leave this baddie behind. Peak vehicle.

As far as Beyblade pickups go, this is definitely one of my favourites so far because of how absurd it is. Why does it exist? I have no idea.

The fall-off of carwow is sad to see. They've just uploaded what is effectively a non-disclosed advert for a 'car investment' company under the guise of actual content and it's insanely disappointing tbh. The fact investment/shares/gambling are ruining every hobby now is demoralising.

Playing GRID Legends on Switch 2 feels mad. I can remember playing Race Driver: Create and Race on Nintendo DS back in the day and thinking how impressive it was they managed to fit a full 3D driving game on there. Fast forward nearly 20 years and now look at what's capable on handheld.

Saros looks like Returnal made for people who didn't like how Returnal Returnal was. That's put a massive downer on the game for me.
