Microsoft held its annual Xbox Developer Direct this week, giving us a deep dive into Fable, Forza Horizon 6, Beast of Reincarnation, and the announcement of Double Fine’s new project, Kiln. While it wasn’t the best Developer Direct ever, it was a pretty good show overall. Let’s talk about it!
It’s finally 2026, and it’s looking like it’ll be another great year of game releases. Today, we’re talking the five games that I’m looking forward to the most in 2026!
It was a pretty good show for The Game Awards this year, with plenty of cool game announcements and well-deserved wins! From the announcement of new Tomb Raider games and Control: Resonant, to a stronger appreciation for the awards, let’s talk about my main highlights from this year’s show!
In 2020, Sucker Punch delivered a certified hit with Ghost of Tsushima. As a love letter to classic Japanese cinema, its gripping story, immersive open world, and visceral combat made it one of my favorite games from the PS4 generation. Five years later, the team is back with Ghost of Yōtei, a game that aims to give us more of what we got before, just refined to a razor’s edge. Not every swing lands, and the reliance on what worked before weakens Ghost of Yōtei in some key ways, but when it hits, it’s sharp enough to cut through the noise and make this another fun and memorable adventure.
The Game Awards are a couple weeks away and this year’s nominees have been announced. Let’s sit down and go over my thoughts/predictions on what games will win!
Yesterday, Valve announced three new pieces of Steam hardware that are set to release in 2026: the Steam controller, the Steam Frame, and the return of the Steam Machine. Valve tried and failed to bridge the gap between PC gaming and console gaming a decade ago, but now, with a vastly different gaming landscape and many lessons learned, I think the company can find success with its new take on the Steam Machine. Let’s talk about it!
A recent GameInformer interview with Marvel Games has implied many more years of collaborating with Insomniac Games, developers of the Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Wolverine franchises. Some people may be excited by this, but my feelings on the matter are a bit more mixed. Let’s talk about it.
A new report from Windows Central details Microsoft’s plans for its next-generation Xbox console, and it seems to confirm that the new system will be a PC/console hybrid, amongst other things. Can this idea work? How expensive will it be? Should we be excited by it? Let’s discuss!
After more than a year of leaks and speculation, Halo: Campaign Evolved has been officially announced for release next year, and it’s coming to PlayStation 5! Let’s talk about how the game looks so far, some of the new features and changes Halo Studios is bringing to this classic title, and where my excitement is for this remake project.
Capcom brought its new sci-fi game Pragmata to this year’s New York Comic-Con, and after getting some hands-on time with it, I’m excited by the potential it’s showing! Let’s talk about it with my hands-on impressions of the game!
