For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Shadow of the Colossus: An oral history

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

i wrote about the hot pokemon spinoff everyone is talking about today: 2012's pokemon conquest for the nintendo ds www.polygon.com/pokemon-conq...

Pokémon Legends: Z-A is cool, but have you played Pokémon's weirdest spinoff lately?

Do you have what it takes to defeat Oda Nobunaga's Zekrom?

The Chair Company: Tim Robinson's Alan J. Pakula 70s paranoia thriller. Enough room for pure I Think You Should Leave shtick and coherent character work. Bonkers.

Inspired by Elm Street 3 of all things
