Very late to the party playing Starwars Outlaws. I loved it. Open world starwars where you can speedbike across a planet, jump in a spaceship and fly into an asteroid field works so well! Speeding across tattooine meeting jawas and jabba was amazing. Hope there’s a sequel!

After 100 hours have finished Assassins Creed Shadows. Stunning visuals - the seasonal shifts, lighting and details (like Naoe’s hair). Loved the dual characters (and discovering that Yasuke was a real life person!)… but spent most of time playing as Naoe as Yasuke move set is limited! #ACShadows

Was really enjoying Atomfall but hit a bug where I couldn’t progress in entering the weapons testing area in the interchange. Hopefully Rebellion will fix soon - whilst I wait I’ve started playing the new Assassins Creed

Just finished Sniper Elite: Resistance. Much like Avowed it doesn’t really do anything new… but what it does do (sniping nazis in slow motion kill cam) it still does well :-)

After completing the superb Indiana Jones game I struggled on what to play next. I bounced between a feel games including Hellblade II (too bleak and disturbing for me), Dragon Age Veilguard (didn’t click) and Immortals of Aveum (too repetitive).. then found my next game was…

I'm thrilled to share that I've joined Astrid Entertainment as Director of Production and Operations. Astrid is dedicated to building fantastical interactive worlds where players' choices shape their experiences. I look forward to collaborating with this amazing team!

Happy 2025! Back in the 90s, when we created Impossible Mission 2025, we had a wild prediction: 2025 would witness the rise of an evil megalomaniac who intended to use AI robots to annihilate the world and escape to the moon aboard his rocket ship. Let’s hope Elon doesn’t go full Elvin Atombender!

Great to see Astrobot win so many awards at the Game Awards show. Well deserved - incredibly talented team behind it and honoured to have hung out with Nico Doucet on a number of occasions whilst at Sony. Lovely chap!

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is incredible. Just got to the Himalayas and loving every minute - it’s amazing in that it feels like a unique genre - maybe it’s the start of a new genre - the Indy game!
