Happy Thursday folks.

I checked out Halls of Torment on PS5, a Horde Survival experience with a 90s RPG look.

Already out on Steam, this is an incredibly deep game loaded with content that is coming soon to both Xbox and PS5 on October 28th.

Starting off my birthday checking out some demos.

First, checked out the upcoming SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide on PS5!

Super fun experience meeting the crew of Bikini Bottom with some incredible platform action.

Looks so good! @thqnordic.com

General Eli is something else...Giving that small snippet of a speech was pretty...convincing...Definitely loved hearing him speak, it's going to be interesting hearing him in the full release.

Probably my favorite so far...

still playing through the Aether & Iron Demo, one of things I absolutely love is the map system and how it looks.

It just looks incredible seeing the layers of the city.

Went through the prologue and first level of the Painkiller demo:

Going the solo route on the default difficulty, I felt the AI teammates were pretty solid.

The demo provided a nice glimpse into the weaponry and customization. Loved the level design too!

Super excited for the Painkiller release.

there is alot to like so far about @godbreakers.bsky.social

Plenty of abilities to utilize/steal, traps in the environment to help clear out, and the weapons!

Of course, you have to dress the part as well 😉

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

After playing the demo.

IT IS SO GOOD. @tributegames.com

Plenty of characters to try out, classic beat em up action. There is so much to like about Cosmic Invasion.

I went with Venom and Storm on the first round.
