For @theguardian.com Summer Games Previews, I spoke to the lovely @liambme.bsky.social of @denkiworks.bsky.social about Tanuki: Pon's Summer 🦝🌿 www.theguardian.com/games/2026/a...
‘He’s tiny, dumpy and funny – so his BMX tricks are hilarious’: Tanuki: Pon’s Summer, an adorable slice-of-life adventure
Denkiworks’ debut lets players pull off tricks and pull pints in a stunning, Japan-inspired setting

I hope this gets realised, eventually. What a magnificent concept and pivot for the series. Gutted! Signal boost in case someone who is benevolent and has infinite resources follows me.
Cyan Worlds@cyan.com · last wk.Over a year ago, we built a prototype for a new Myst Universe game meant for publisher eyes only. This project is NOT in active development, but we're proud of the work the team did, and wanted to share it with you all. Presenting: Project Anglerfish. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvNGt02yZNc
Thank you for very nice quote!!

Tuchel took him off as soon as he scored and we turned into absolute Roy Hodgson mince. Silver lining: I don't have to wake up at 4 AM on Monday to watch any team get battered by Spain. Yippee!

Big news! @apzonerunner.com and I have launched a new video games website. @respec.net is our attempt to create a highly curated multi-format site that has that club feel you used to get from the best magazines (and frankly, my beloved VideoGamer back in the day) www.respec.net/feature/87-w...
Welcome to Respec: A word from the Editors | Respec
Welcome to our new little corner of the internet. Why a new video game website, and why now? Allow us to explain...

Thoroughly enjoyed Ubisoft Singapore's Black Flag Remake. The Jackdaw is an all-timer video game vehicle, and the new narrative pieces / modern-day stuff added to the original story make it stronger. Melee combat & stealth needed more work imo, but it gets away with it! postmode.org/assassins-cr...
Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced Review: The Ultimate Pirate Sandbox to Tide You Over Until GTA 6
We spent 40 hours with Edward Kenway’s return. From modernized naval combat to a brand-new epilogue, here is why Ubisoft's latest remake is a must-play for open-world fans.

An exceptional deal! A bundle of narrative games ranging from "ooh this is interesting" to "this is an all-time favourite"
inkle@inkle.co · 2mo agoOkay, so this is massive and we're terrified. Partnering with @play.breakthrought1d.org in the fight against diabetes, the ENTIRE inkle catalogue is on Humble Bundle right now for $20 -- including TR-49, all four novels, both Overboard! games, 80 Days, all four parts of Sorcery! ... everything.
I wrote this column more than six years ago, lol. Reading it back, it feels quaint given what has happened since. No matter the quality of the games that have come out of the remake era, I still feel like we're trapped in a hall of mirrors. www.nme.com/features/wha...
Is our obsession with video game remakes hurting the potential for new ideas?
This last week alone, we heard of the remakes for ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater’ and the ‘Mafia Trilogy’. But rather than finding new ways to reinterpret the past, developers should turn to face the future

Nintendo Direct is just remakes, sequels, and ports, but then there's a hyperrealistic thumb-wrestling game they spend two minutes on, and everything is forgiven.
*Nintendo Direct announcer voice* This is the water and THIS is the well! Drink full and descend, because this summer, only on Nintendo Switch, the horse is the white of the eyes AND the dark within!
