I think I've settled on this as my primary social media platform moving forward so I'll do a reintroduction.
I'm Blair Farrell, I've written about comic book video games since 2012 on comicbookvideogames.com. I've written 2 books on the subject matter and have interviewed people who made them.

Is there a video game you loved as a kid that you think gamers should try today?

This week marked the 11th anniversary of our first #horror game, Home, launching on the beloved PlayStation Vita. 💖
It's surreal to see the physical Vita edition of the game going for silly prices sometimes!

When it was revealed that MK: Special Forces was in the new Kollection from @digitaleclipse.bsky.social, I knew I was going to at least try it.
Anyway, I finished it last night without using save states.

So happy to see Batman: Arkham Origins on the list. It’s so under appreciated and always left out of Arkham collections. Playing it natively on the XSX is one of that consoles redeeming features.

After 25 years of Call of Duty, it’s surprising the series has lasted this long when all you do is shoot at army guys.
