Finally watched Challengers last night and yes, excellent movie, great score, Zendaya, but I can't believe that the gif of homie slapping his homie's boner is real Like he really did that, just slapped the thing silly

The best part of Beast of Reincarnation is the next fight, courtesy of a satisfying combat system filled with experimentation and tense fun. If only the rest of the game matched it. Our Beast of Reincarnation review: gameinformer.com/review/beast...
The protagonist of Beast of Reincarnation is a synthetic human being that doesn’t have a soul but thinks she would like one. It’s lamentably fitting, then, that so much of this game is soulless. Really loved the combat, though! More of my thoughts below👇

Abram Buehner@abrambuehner.bsky.social · 4d agoFinal Fantasy VII Rebirth's excess is as unmistakable as it is endearing. A moving, messy journey that accumulates feeling through its best and, more importantly, its most tedious episodes. I love this game, and I'd love it if you checked this out! medium.com/@abrambuehne...

It's becoming increasingly common to see the deceased recreated digitally for video games. We spoke to Capcom about how the late Toshirō Mifune became the face of Onimusha: Way of the Sword's protagonist, the approach taken, his family's thoughts, and more. gameinformer.com/exclusive-fe...
Just published one of my biggest extended coverage features to go with my Onimusha: Way of the Sword cover story – though I'm still team let-the-dead-stay-dead, after learning more about Mifune's inclusion, I'm much more comfortable playing Onimusha than, say, Stranger Than Heaven.

A high bar to clear, but I could see it happening based on what I've played of the game so far.
