My "not-review" of Over The Hill. This was the cozy game I didn't know I was looking for.

During PAX AUS, @firkraags.bsky.social decided to head across the ditch to see what our Kiwi brethren had to offer. When we say across the ditch, we really mean the NZ/Aotearoa Booth on the show floor. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/play...

During PAX AUS, Jenn got the chance to chat with Mike Bilder and Andy Kniaz from Jackbox to talk about all things party games, publishing plans and the Jackbox Shared Universe. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/jack...

A sci-fi classic, a welcome return, an enjoyable 90s-style buddy movie and Reacher tearing up the Gold Coast #LastFourWatched

Been ages since I have done a Hewso's cooking adventure so I went back to basics. Steak sandwiches with chilli crisp onions

It's time for the annual #PAXAUS special edition of the P2 PixelCast. Join @hewso.bsky.social, @gorath44000.bsky.social, @jesszam.bsky.social and Jenn as they talk all things PAX. www.player2.net.au/podcast/the-...

I've been too sad all day to say it... But I guess I now have to give up hope on that Jade Empire sequel I knew they were secretly working on for the past 15 years. RIP to the great ones, may better studios under better bosses pick you up!

So folks, due to the worldwide PHP issue, we are currently unable to upload new articles and the like. Sorry about the quiet few days but it is much better to be safe than sorry. Stay tuned because as soon as we are able, we have tonnes to drop.

So if anyone is looking for a 4080 super? I have one spare soon. Friends prices of course.

Because now is the perfect time for my motherboard to fuck out on me....

If you are jumping on the site and things look a little strange, hang with us. We are getting ready for something big.

It appears that while Stupid Never Dies, it probably should have a few more tricks up its sleeve. Check out @pretendbeard.bsky.social's review now. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/stup...

I love my beautiful soft gay future typewriter

As the world knows I am a big fan of the big dumb action movie and Runner is a great one. A fair bit of heart, two great leads and some nice action sequences. Some dodgy Aussie shite is about the only bad stuff. Loads of fun.

Not grass but sand and really shite surf

It's Avenged Sevenfold night!!!!

Two Point Hospital has made its way to the Nintendo Switch 2. @nickbait.bsky.social jumped in to see how it all turned out. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/two-...

Throw your horns up, folks: Stage Tour is coming, and @hewso.bsky.social fell in love with it on the #PAXAUS show floor. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/rock...

You know that horror movie, Smile? Well my smile was bigger after playing this at PAX....

Haven't done a charity event for a while over at P2... About time we changed that...

Nintendo let classic Zelda mega-fan @pauljamesgames.bsky.social go hands-on with the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake Here are his hands-on impressions www.player2.net.au/2026/10/the-...

Warning folks. The latest Nvidia drivers are dogshite. That's 3 pcs now I have had to uninstall and do a clean install. Crashes and stuttering everywhere

I think I just did Control Resonant's version of the Ashtray Maze... So very cool

A little something in the mail

In her latest hardware review, Jenn tackles Alienware's 34" curved gaming monitor, the AW3426DWM www.player2.net.au/2026/10/aver...

1 hour in... I am so far down the hole already.

I was patient. I finished my reviews. I did my PAX stuff. It is now time.

Alright Melbourne I'm here.... Is anything on this weekend?

Luxury.... Back in my day each component was separate and only tenuously held together with copper wires and a shitty old valve amp

Dragon's Dogma II has received the Dark Arisen treatment, and Jason is here to tell us all about it. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/drag...

In what has been a busy day for P2, we have one more article for you. @robcap.bsky.social has jumped into Mortal Shell 2 on his PS5 and is here to report back on his experience. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/a-da...

Hey YouTube, if I wanted to listen to hours of inane, boring, and repetitive music, I would put on the local Austereo radio station, so stick your AI-created playlists where the sun doesn't shine. Sincerely, Grumpy old Hewso

Yes, @hewso.bsky.social is quoting Weird Al in his latest review... but with good reason. Have a gander at his review of Star Wars: Galactic Racer now. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/star...

Just finished Wolverine and look, was it the best game ever? Far from it. I enjoyed the story, really dug this new look at the mutants that I hadn't seen before, and the Logan-Jean relationship was great. Combat was just average, and it was missing some variety, but I wouldn't say no to a sequel

Minecraft Dungeons II is here and @nickbait.bsky.social has bashed, crashed and slashed his way through the entire thing. Check out his thoughts, live now on P2. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/mine...

With the release of the latest Metal Gear collection, @pretendbeard.bsky.social jumps into MGS 4 to see what it still has to offer so many years on. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/meta...

Made a friend

Our second @paxaus.bsky.social Indie Showcase Interview for 2026 focuses on Thrive, a new competitive card game from designer Sasha Markovic!

It is time to rev up those Lancers once again so we sent @pauljamesgames.bsky.social and @hewso.bsky.social into the trenches to see just how Gears of War: E-Day turned out. www.player2.net.au/2026/10/gear...

Jason slices and dices like it's 2001 with Dynasty Warriors 3 Complete Edition Remastered. Here's his review of the experience www.player2.net.au/2026/09/dyna...

I just saw an episode of House Hunters where the whitest guy on the planet introduced himself as Rob a tech sales rep and a Rapper.

The @riftbound.riotgames.com Regional Qualifier is happening in LA right now! @gorath44000.bsky.social gives us a Day One Recap of the event including exciting news about the upcoming Radiance wave

Here's me on Ace Combat 8 for @player2au.bsky.social . AC8 builds on what was laid down with AC7, offering more thrilling and expansive aerial shenanigans. That's coupled with a move to present its story from a more personal perspective.

Yes, 10% beers are a part of my usual preview routine... (not really, don't blacklist me PR)

Can drinking a few high-alcohol content beers help when playing The Division 2? For the purposes of science @hewso.bsky.social decided to find out while previewing the latest expansion "Echoes of Central Park" www.player2.net.au/2026/09/echo...
