THREAD: Most of my thoughts on games these days are posted on Backloggd, where I review games as I beat them.
Here's the first four of the year from me: Call of Duty 3 and the OG Modern Warfare trilogy. I'll throw up more here as they happen.

I'm not sure I understand the hype for this new Mega Man. 11 was just "okay" and what we've seen looks like it would've come out the year after that, not *almost a decade* later.

I love Nightdive and they do great, important work, but they announced work on a Blood remaster 7 years ago to this date, and it's still a can being kicked down the road after two different releases. Their FPS remasters are usually amazing, but if you wanna play Blood, use Raze or NBlood instead.

if any game other than Half-Life 2 had the line "wake up and smell the ashes" we would all be clowning that shit SO hard

I don't think Doom 3's a very good video game, but it is absolutely at its best when it forces you to choose between the ability to shoot and the ability to see what the hell is happening. If you're any good at shooters, there's too much firepower and ammo for it to be effective horror otherwise.
The correct Doom 3 experience is the original one, where you must choose between having your flashlight or your weapon equipped.

The East LA level in Tony Hawk's American Sk8land has an elaborate secret involving an invisible rail that clips you through geometry to an out-of-bounds section of the map, revealing a message telling you to hide in the bushes in the Beverly Hills map.
When you do so, the game plays a fart noise.

1: I'm probably not playing video games to the degree that I am without Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Magnificent, foundational game.
2: "Judy Toyota" is maybe my favorite 80s/90s-era developer pseudonym.

Black Ops 7's campaign isn't great so far, but it's at least given Treyarch and Raven a very good excuse to get Michael Rooker to say some really stupid shit:

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

Just want you to know that when I asked Geoff why he gave the silent treatment to an open letter written by his own "future of games" program (& co-signed by 3000+ industry peers), he replied:
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀
"Because that's my show and nobody gets to tell me how I should use my platform". 💀💀💀
“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees

I have come around HARD on Halo in the past five years but sometimes I feel like I'm crazy with how much people talk up CE in particular. Forget the Library, that whole second half of the campaign is just the first half backwards because the game was rushed to hell, and it is not great.
As two popular launch titles, the gulf in quality and playability between Halo Combat Evolved on Xbox and Call of Duty 2 on 360 is so vast. Halo absolutely decimates COD2 in retrospect and it’s not even close in my book. COD2 has aged horribly - Halo remains a classic.
