Music in games is more than background noise; it’s the heartbeat of the experience. It shapes emotion, memory, and immersion. Hearing a melody can take you right back to a level you haven’t played in years. So yeah… Claire Obscur missing a Grammy nod feels wrong. #gaming #music #grammys

Some art from the Feb 2011 issue of gameinormer.
Can't believe we've had/have to wait 15 years for the next Elder Scrolls.

The next Halo MP needs everything at launch—Forge, BTB, Slayer, Arenas—plus every weapon, vehicle, and map from past Halos rebuilt in Unreal 5. Then add new maps and weapons. Forget perfect balance, give us the TOYS and let player feedback shape the fun and competition. #halo #gaming #xbox @halo.gg

Fantastic read, quick resume and gamepass truly were big wins for Xbox. I just wish development cycles weren't so long for the game library the series x could have had. Imagine a new halo, gears, forza, Fable, Elder Scrolls hitting Xbox. #gaming #xbox

The Xbox Series was the best Xbox yet. Then Microsoft lost all interest in it
Strategic confusion sunk hardware that deserved better

Halo 2: 21 years ago. I was 4th in line at our local gamestop, Midnight. My friends and I would grab our copy and rush home to play on the OG Xbox. Trying to complete the campaign before hitting up one of the greatest multi-player experiences of our lifetime.

Not sure how I feel about this. I was hoping to share this story with my wife who hasn't played the original trilogy.
Amazon's upcoming Mass Effect TV adaptation will focus on an original story rather than rehashing BioWare's classic trilogy of video games starring Commander Shepard.

I think Rockstar needs to take as much time as it needs to deliver a finished and complete product. I know it sucks waiting but maybe in the future video games won't be so difficult to develop for. Wishful thinking I know.

Maybe it’s the weather, the time change, or just working until it’s dark, but I feel extra nostalgic this time of year. Part of me just wants to take the rest of the year off, stay in, watch old movies, and replay the games that made me feel alive once.

Does sex still sell games? Looking back at 80s and 90s ads, it’s wild what they got away with. Even in the late 2000s, Mass Effect got “sex simulator” backlash. And now with GTA 6’s trailer, it feels like—yeah, sex still sells? #gaming #retrogames
