SILENT HILL: Ascension is a triumphant return to form for Konami, and my hopes for the Silent Hill 2 Remake have never been higher!
Can't wait for the likes of SilentGriddySkbibiHill666 and BenisMason to vote on whether James should dab on Mary, or offer her a pillow.
Rewatching Oppenheimer as Christopher Nolan intended, with the power of 15FPS 240x160 Game Boy Advance Video codec, powered by the Analogue Pocket.
This is cinema redefined for the sophisticated palate.
@airbagged
One comment on that sad, sad thread says "All of AAA is pretty much touched by woke"... I hope these people struggle to find a game they enjoy for the rest of time.
People have been parroting the "go woke, get broke" line at IGN recently.
Beyond their broken perception, one guy suggested they'd start their own IGN, because they've had enough of our site, and that hosting a website is cheap! Please, give it a go, see how well you do 🙏
@TangoGameworks
The Evil Within was one of my horror favourites, and Hi-Fi Rush was plenty of fun too, it's a shame to see Tango Gameworks go like this.
Gang, both Lae'zel & Shadowheart recently came down to our office to react to a bunch of IGN comments! This has made the rest of my Baldur's Gate 3 playthroughs a bit more special 🥲
Massive thank you to both Devora and Jennifer for being a couple of legends 💪

Outside Xbox, Eurogamer and IGN, all under one roof? A fantastic crossover, no doubt! Do check out our

Also... Ian looks adorable 😽
Yesterday, I met so many talented peeps from Gamer Network, who I can now consider my colleagues!
I'm really excited to start seeing more of these lovely people in the future, and that even extended into today with helping out the Digital Foundry crew and their podcast 🫡
Downloaded it, created an account and one of the first things you're asked is if you want to spend £19.99 on some digital Silent Hill nonsense.
Nearly 12 years on from Downpour, HD Collection, and Book of Memories, and this is what you get. Silent Hill used to be good, man 😞
To this day Earth Defense Force is still the best 360/PS3 coded game money can buy, and EDF 6 is just as goofy as the rest of 'em.
"Check out this big-ass egg. A monster laid it", such a simple yet beautiful bit of dialogue.
@dannyodwyer
He's also been unfaithful to his wife as well, like, it isn't a good look for anyone to defend this fella. Why do weirdos love jumping on drama grenades?
I've lived in Harrow for over five years, but there's word circulating that the EDL & other assholes are planning on visiting today...
Harrow is lively, diverse and multicultural, and the community here is tough, they won't budge. Whoever comes here with ill intentions? Get 🖕
@Real_KillerBean
I've been following the Killer Bean game for a couple of years now, and I'm not kidding, it's one of my most anticipated game releases.
@airbagged
The amount of time that needs to be spent writing these clapped videos, recording them, editing them, and everything else that's needed in video production...
While everyone else is just vibing, playing games, or just being normal. It's mad.
This time last year, we released our FIRST video with both Lae'zel & Shadowheart, reacting to all of your thirsty, and horny IGN Comments 👀
And now we're back with another! Thanks to both Devora and Jennifer, they are bloody amazing ❤️

What an emotional rollercoaster of a day! We've left what's been our little home in Harrow for five plus years, moved out of London entirely, and now we're living in a home we've bought!
A 7 AM start, and a near midnight finish. It's been stressful, but so, so worth it.
After nearly nine years of saving up, hundreds of emails, and a tiring amount of calls, we'll soon be homeowners!
We wanted to do this before our 30s, and we've done it. I've only ever lived in London, and having to leave it? Well it's a BIG change, but it's a fresh start too 🙏
You'll hear my full thoughts on this week's podcast, but whatever you do, unless you're an insanely dedicated Five Nights at Freddy's fan, please do something better with your time and money.
Funky request, but I'm looking to commission a bit of digital portrait art, preferably in the style of an oil painting or something Disco Elysium-esque.
If you know of any artists, do let me know! Also, any retweets, or suggestions, would be awesome ☺️
Around five years ago today, I was offered the position of Video Producer and Editor at IGN. A full-time role, before I graduated from university, that let me move away from a not so great situation.
Proper life changing stuff. Made some great pals here. Here's to another five?

No idea, that's far beyond the realm of my work, but it'd be a shame because there are plenty of people who do engage in a healthy way!
I've not played Microsoft Flight Simulator in a little while, but the Dune: Part Two crossover update just dropped & it's awesome!
A flyable Ornithopter, an intense escape mission & other challenges. I've recorded them all, just for IGN 🫡

! Keep an eye out on IGN, because Johnny Rico from Starship Troopers has arrived 🫡
I grew up in a working-class family, lived in council estates most of my life and I'll never forget meeting a posho, fancy DSLR-holding twat at EGX Rezzed in 2016, who told me I wasn't "professional" for using the only camcorder I could afford at the time to record interviews...
New research exclusively seen by Channel 4 News shows just 1 in 12 creatives working in TV and Film in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are from working class backgrounds.
Actor Samira Ahmed says her experience of drama school made her realise "you need connections".
It's 2024, and a brand new wireless controller has arrived for the Original Xbox. I still love my PS2, but the Crystal Xbox is just 😘🤌
Hall effect sticks/triggers, plus pressure sensitive buttons are a great combo - MGS2: Substance should play very nicely, I hope!
@BioDeclassified
@bserv1
Genuinely, and I'm asking as it's always been a bit confusing to me, but why are people so, SO interested in these actors?
Not throwing shade on 'em, and it's nice to hear their stories and perspectives on Resi, but the community fascination can appear a little much at times.

I've been a bit of a lucky boy recently and had the chance to record a bunch of exclusive gameplay for the upcoming PVKK! It's a bit like Papers, Please, and Steel Battalion!
Does that sound a smidge bonkers? It does, but the game is 😘👌

I've not played Driver: San Francisco in YEARS, and this was one of the most exciting games I could get my hands on when I was fourteen years old!
Go on Ubisoft, give us a little sequel 🤞
We've got fresh scalers released, RetroTINK-4K and the Morph, exciting HDMI based modifications with the Retro Gem, and now we've got a brand new, almost next-gen Memory Card for the PS2.
Slapped a tiny 32GB card inside, and even that is entirely overkill for this!
Fellow gamers, I'm here to reveal that for one night only, I'm IGN's biggest Sonic fan, and yes, we've arrived at the KNUCKLES Global Premiere Red Carpet!
I'll wear this Knuckles Press Pass proudly 👊

I've edited nearly 600 videos at work, and today's the day I learnt that one of my projects has recently crossed over 2 million views!
Which video? Naturally, it belongs to my 'Bluey: The Videogame - Full Episodes Playthrough'! I'm truly honoured to bring such success to IGN 🫡
The Acolyte was an okay show, but the one part of it that I appreciated the most was David Harewood's appearance as Senator Rayencourt.
Shows up for like, a single scene, calls out the obvious flaws of the Jedi, brings up how much of a threat they could be, and leaves. Legend.
Imogen was one of the first people outside of IGN, back in 2019, that I met in the games industry! She's a bloody legend 😊
We were both greenhorns at the time, but we've both come so far since then 🫡
Cheers to

for finally bringing us back together!
We moved out of London about a week ago, and as of now, we're struggling to adjust with seeing genuinely happy people out and about, or having strangers politely greet us as we walk past 'em.
Is this what being normal is like? And how can we get London to do it too?
We visited Ubisoft Québec for an all-day look at what many would say is a dream Assassin's Creed game, Shadows, the developer's new-gen take on Japan 🇯🇵
We've got samurai, shinobi, changing seasons, & much more! Here's everything you need to know 🥷
You'll hear my full thoughts on this week's podcast, but whatever you do, unless you're an insanely dedicated Five Nights at Freddy's fan, please do something better with your time and money.
My partner joined Rockstar in 2020 & in a year and a half, added her first two game credits under her belt.
Now she's been at Rocksteady for nearly two years, and her name is in the credits of Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. To me, that's the coolest fucking thing ever.
Reform getting any amount of seats is, simply put, grim. The kind of people who'd vote for a party like that must be extremely lost, and disgustingly weak-willed. I hope I never meet them in person.

My partner spotted this hoodie back in July, I thought it looked sick but didn't jump on it, and what ended up arriving at our apartment last night? A lovely, and very comfy surprise gift! I Am Kenough 💪😘

My Twitter "For You" section is, for some reason, 90% baby hippo and 10% Digital Foundry, and while that's certainly not a bad mix, some variation would be nice because I don't quite understand the crossover.
@downrightdpad
I wouldn't even know where to begin! It's got similar vibes to the idiotic people who say "Oh, I could develop my own game and it would be better than XYZ!"

I recently had the pleasure of putting together "The Best 2024 Games So Far" video for IGN!
It's over 40 minutes long, encompasses all our 8/10s, 9/10s and 10/10s of the year so far, and it took me around an hour to VO! So, please... Watch it 🥲
#IGN
I knew today's dinner was going to be immaculate, so I had to take a picture before it disappeared 🙏
We've got a venison burger with kimchi, and cheese. Roast potatoes from the Ninja Foodi, baby corn, pak choi, and coleslaw.
Friends, it was 😘👌 and I don't want to forget it.
I'm trying to make the most of my balcony before saying goodbye to London, and for some reason, this specific pigeon is always happy to chill alongside me.
At long last, I've been accepted by the local bird folk as a trusted ally. A strong alliance has been formed on this day.
Londoners are designed to hate pigeons, but for the past year, these two adorable bastards have been visiting my balcony nearly every day. They're always together, often grooming each other and just being a couple of cool fellas.
Once I leave London, I'll miss their protection!

@PeerIGN
's power cable walkthrough got done dirty. I was really looking forward to hearing more.
Love a retrospective & that's just what Matt released today for Call of Duty's 20th Anniversary! This is well worth a read & has a ton of fresh Infinity Ward insight thanks to Mackey McCandlish.
I edited the video version, and if you do give it a watch, I hope you enjoy it 🙏
After my Super Pocket preview, I read plenty of comments bringing up Anbernic and Miyoo handhelds, so I picked up the Mini Plus+ and so far it's been wonderful to use!
It's amazing that we can have a pocketable PS1, SNES & so much more. I wish these were around when I was a kid.
I don't often do previews, but I had the chance to go hands-on with Hyper Mega Tech's upcoming Super Pocket.
It's cheaper than a brand-new PS5 game, can quite literally fit inside my pocket and it's a solid handheld! Hope you enjoy the video:
There are a TON of easter eggs, and references in RoboCop: Rogue City. So naturally, Dale, Emma and I put our minds together to hunt 'em down, and produce this video! Hope you enjoy the video 🙏

Can't lie, 2023 has been a tough year but all throughout, I've been surrounded by the most caring & talented individuals I've had the pleasure of calling my friends.
In two months, it'll be five years spent at IGN. Still got a lot to learn! So happy new year, and bring on 2024.
What I Looked Like When GTA V Came Out VS. Now...
I was 16 when Grand Theft Auto 5 released, and once I got that disk, my life changed. As you can tell, it's been nothing but success since then.
Messing around within Rookie Village, in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl on the PS5, and the very first enemies you encounter are so difficult to kill because of the new Aim Assist in the Legends of the Zone Collection.
Do yourself a favor, and disable it! It helps a ton.
So does anyone know why the S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Legends of the Zone Trilogy is £33.50 on Xbox, but only £15.99 on PlayStation? Unsure if this is a pricing error or not...
Although I've been making videos on IGN for over five years, I still get hyped whenever I see my name, and my words, plus my own video on the website.
More so than just being uploaded straight to YouTube, this feels more gratifying. Makes my imposter syndrome less of a thing.
I've had my turntable, vinyl collection and speaker set-up packed for nearly a year, and this morning I've finally put it back together; I've missed this!
Your boy is now at Gamescom 2024! Things are chill at the moment, but if you clock an extremely knackered, yet handsome hairy fella with a camera later on in the week, feel free to say hello 🤗

I've had the HD60 S+ for a while, but after watching Epos Vox's review of the 4K X, I knew an upgrade was inbound for my streaming setup.
It's insane that a USB capture card is not only faster, but better, than my current PCIe solution. Look at that latency chart!

Good news, my GP has referred me to an adult ADHD assessment and treatment service 👍
Bad news, the current wait time is over 36 months 🫠
