Another reminder that you can find me over on Bluesky if you're making the jump.

I really like Dragon Age: The Veilguard, even though it's not always easy to do so! Many of the story reveals here should be a big deal but they aren't given the weight they deserve. Still, this is BioWare's penchant for compelling companions at its best.

Can confirm I've been playing Dragon Age: The Veilguard over the past several days. Review coming Monday.

I got to read an early copy of Play Nice, a new book from @jasonschreier that's all about the history of Blizzard. It's a fascinating read that really gets into the nuance of the company and what the Activision-Blizzard clashes often looked like.
Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment is a new book that sheds light on one of the most iconic companies in the gaming industry. FEATURE by @SamuelTolbert : #BlizzardEntertainment #Xbox

@DerbyCityDerek The great thing about 40K is that you don't need to worry about 90% of the games that get released. That said, you'd absolutely enjoy Rogue Trader and Boltgun. If you're looking for a group game night Darktide is also fun.

Loving the way all of this sounds. Bring on Halloween.
Our own @rrspear was able to spend roughly seven hours in a hands-on Dragon Age: The Veilguard preview and was impressed by the character creator, combat, and art style. PREVIEW: #DragonAgeTheVeilguard #DragonAgeDreadwolf #DragonAge #ElectronicArts

I flew over the Grand Canyon and the Blue Ridge Mountains in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and it's really impressive. Also chatted with members of the team about how it's all coming together.
"I think you have to be honest and trusting. You need to not treat them as business entities, but as partners." We played Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and talked to the global team that's making it. PREVIEW: #FlightSimulator2024 #Xbox

As someone that *loved* the original Frostpunk and liked the sequel's beta (but had some concerns) I'm thrilled at how well Frostpunk 2 has threaded the needle. The scope is massively increased, but it still retains the soul that 11 bit studios is known for.
"A harrowingly wonderful time, and I'm eagerly looking forward to the promised DLC packs." Frostpunk 2 is an ambitious city-builder and survival experience telling stories of hope, despair, and human endurance. REVIEW: #Frostpunk2

Space Marine 2 is a lot of fun. It knows what it is and feels like a well-crafted version of games more common in a bygone era. The co-op missions are particularly great, and holding the line against Tyranid hordes doesn't get old, though I did encounter some technical issues.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 delivers a cathartic alien-stomping romp, especially when playing in co-op. REVIEW by @SamuelTolbert: #SpaceMarine2 #Xbox

I've been spending a lot of time over the past week with Age of Mythology: Retold. It's a fantastic experience that feels like the culmination of what Xbox, World's Edge, and its partner studios have been working on over the last few years.
