I ADORED Ghost of Tsushima.
And Ghost of Yotei is better in almost EVERY WAY!

But good lord, the opening of this game is EVERYTHING wrong w/Playstation 1st party narrative games these days. Agree? Or not so much? Let's discuss! :)

I was aggressively annoyed by the first hour of #GhostofYotei. Felt like another horrid 'look ma! I'm writing!!!' 1st party miss. And look: Tsushima is a 9/10 for me.

After an hour tho? GOOD GOD, this game is SO SO AMAZING! Just a total, addictive DELIGHT!

Is #StarfleetAcademy perfect? Lord no. And goodness, they needed to find a Kevin Feige of Star Trek a decade ago. BUT it's still good, solid Trek. Holly Hunter is a fantastic captain, the kids are great, the action is big budget tent pole quality and if you love Trek, it works!

Feeling staggeringly, heartbreakingly nostalgic for the year 1985 tonight. Not sure why. It's weird. Maybe 41 years ago on this Saturday night (I woulda been 14) I was trying to communicate with myself in the future. Seems like something I woulda done. So maybe it's that.

America is shit right now. But watching this gives me hope that we can survive, pull out of this, and stop hating each other so much.

Google Doodle has a Halloween themed PAC MAN game up right now. It's for Halloween AND it celebrates the anniversary of Pac Man itself. It runs like ass and has some weird bugs but it's also delightful if you love retro games AND Halloween! It's filled w/surprises+has an end game state too! :)

It's been a year since Concord shut down. And many agree that was the right call.

But the studio that made the game was also shut down.
And THAT may have been a mistake.

If you were at TwitchCon and experienced or witnessed harassment, especially from IRL streamers, I'd like to speak with you for a story.

Please signal boost.

DYING to know what @doublefine.com's #keeper game makers were trying to express. At the same time, I don't want to know because of what this very special game means to ME. It's both a simple storybook tale and a deep, emotional expression of...well, that's up to you :). #goty nom.

Unless something amazing comes along in the next few months, #silenthillƒ is EASILY my GOTY and- to me- the best horror game I've ever played.

But it's not perfect.

But it's pretty dang close!

Let's discuss in our latest video! :)

Alyssa Mercante: How Far Can You PUSH Game Publishers?!?

@davidscottjaffe.bsky.social

A few weeks back @alyssamerc.bsky.social and I talked about the balance game journalists must walk if they want to maintain access to game publishers. And as audiences sophistication grow, does that access have the same value that it used to?

That's this:
