The way people pick each other up when they fall down in the mosh pit is why I’ll never lose hope for humanity.

One of the best games of 2025, plus it has strong Halloween vibes.

The scariest game of the year is this just-released, 100% free demo for a canceled project: @darkstonedigital.com's Playable Archive. Here's why its journey has been so strange, and why you need to play it ASAP. www.gamespot.com/articles/the...

The Justice Department is drawing up contingency plans to potentially intervene in next week’s midterm elections, three national security officials tell me: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/feds-prep-...

Not many ghost stories as memorable as this one

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a spooktacular all-time high 65% off in the Steam Scream sale! 🎃 Spooky season is the perfect time to check out our acclaimed folk horror adventure set on the moors of Northern England. The answers lie in the soil...

List of games that have genuinely scared me: Amnesia Outlast Alien Isolation SOMA Sylvio The Mortuary Assistant The Texas Chain Saw Massacre That was the full list, but I’ve just added a new one. Can’t wait to say more.

please we cannot lose BioWare AND Arkane in the same week

I would hope by now everyone knows Beastieball rules

By chasing NBA 2K’s social open world, “Project Gridiron” will need EA to be patient, authentic, and generous—everything it’s never been. www.gamespot.com/articles/ea-...

Sometimes I'll download a PC game and not even play it. I'll just compile shaders.

It's late October, which means bird flu season is coming, which means millions and millions of dead birds and probably higher egg prices. The US has safe and effective vaccines to mitigate this, but we're not using them, in part because of RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine agenda.

My daughter and I went to the Over the Garden Wall concert last night. It was magical. 😭🥰

I saw a new horror movie a few nights ago that 1. ruled 2. reminded me a lot of Phasmophobia Check it out if you're looking for something new this month. www.gamespot.com/articles/whi...

What's your favorite 2026 horror game? I need to pick mine soon. I'm undecided for now and don't want to miss anything awesome.

I saw a best games list with an AI prompt still in the opening paragraph. I actually take my curated lists seriously; I don't write with AI, and I only feature games that deserve a spot. Our best horror games list is my baby. www.gamespot.com/gallery/best...

How did @redbarrels.bsky.social go from an indie studio that couldn't find a single interested publisher to the creators of one of horror's most successful series? Read my feature on the history of Outlast. 🎃 www.gamespot.com/articles/no-...

This guy sure does love ramping up his pro-Russia rhetoric right before elections. I wonder why.

A great read if you want to learn more about our journey as an indie horror game studio! 🕵️ Thanks @blueskynoise.com!

I had a great time on @dropindropoutpod.bsky.social talking about the history of horror games. 🎃

This is my daughter and my nieces elementary school. They’re both okay. We’re all shook up but we’re safe. We’re very involved in this school and know so many of the kids and families. Some of those lost were classmates of our kids. We can’t keep going through this and doing nothing about it…

If you want to hear lots of thoughts on Belmont’s Curse and metroidvanias more broadly, The Ringer’s Button Mash podcast asked me to come on and participate in their metroidvania draft. (Apparently drafting is a skill and I got better as it went, I think.)

When a stranger and I could’ve butted heads, but instead we shake hands, that’s the beauty of Arc Raiders. PvE-only servers remove this magic, and I’m really worried they’ll become permanent and push my cooperative lobbies into that lesser world. www.gamespot.com/articles/i-o...

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

Posted a picture from a WNBA game a few weeks ago and ever since it’s become my most popular post among bot accounts. I take it as a firsthand look at how a fake culture war is made.

Imagine yourself in a tight airplane seat. Uncomfortable and unable to even stretch your arms and legs. Now take that discomfort, and imagine experiencing it for over ONE ENTIRE YEAR. This is the *daily* reality for farm #animals. 24/7. 😡

what does this mean

In Hellraiser: Revival, the main character's name is Aiden Lynch. If you asked me how many video game protagonists have been named Aiden Lynch before, I'd probably guess four or five.

Interesting read, though I find it funny that the writer opens with the Kingdom Hearts collab. The only KH I ever played was the one with Toy Story because that’s the only Disney thing I love, and all the characters behaved like body snatchers, not at all like themselves.

Watching Audition today and Never After Dark tonight has reminded me that J-Horror is a useless distinction. At least with “JRPG,” you can make the case that it describes a particular type of gameplay experience. J-Horror is just… horror made in Japan(?)

lol same thing happens when you advocate for animal welfare. “What if I was stranded on a deserted island/a lion/born into a community that lives off the land?” My man, you’re regularly waiting in line at Taco Bell.

Hearing Mike Flanagan suggest Carrie might be a three-season show has really dampened my enthusiasm. I’m already watching it via borrowed Prime, and I love a nice miniseries that doesn’t overstay its welcome. If he does more I think I’ll pass.

I’d enjoyed how the last few Gears of War sequels finally gave the series some color. But now with the prequel, I guess they felt beholden to the series’ traditional color, uh, “palette.” Left: Gears 5 DLC | Right: Gears E-Day

just found out who plays Michael Myers in Halloween 2

The Punk Games Showcase has kicked off. Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/curator/4609...

Arc Raiders' big update seems to be paying off out of the gate. www.gamespot.com/articles/arc...

In our home, my kids and I only accept my voices for Elephant and Piggie as canon. Those imposters we hear on the app and the forthcoming TV show are off-putting and unwelcome.

Jordan captures my takeaway too. I like it as a game, though it feels like a lot of the time you spend in Hellraiser: Revival is on things it needs to do to *be a video game* which often comes at the expense of being Hellraiser.
