source: www.youtube.com/@PlayStation

The Game Awards has offically taken place for this year, there were many reveals and showcases to go alongside the awards in the night. To see it for yourself you can watch the full thing here. However, here are some of the highlights of games and projects shown in the event: 

- Okami Sequel
- Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet
- Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds
- Mafia: The Old Country
- The Last of Us Part II Remastered PC
- Dying Light: The Beast
- Game of Thrones: Kingsroad
- Onimusha: Way of the Sword
- Warframe: 1999
- Turok: Origins
- Virtua Fighter
- Borderlands 4
- The Outer Worlds 2
- Untitled Project by Fumito Ueda of GenDesign
- Elden Ring: Nightreign
- The Witcher 4
- Ninja Gaiden Ragebound

This game awards really was impressive, prevouisly we would probably get 2 or 3 highlightable announcements at most but this one had a lot to offer. Geoff also seemed to care a bit more this time round probably due to the feedback given to him for last year. 
Personally, I had quite a few things I was so excited about, the most excited i got in the night was for the Okami sequel, its something I thought would never actually happen. When I saw the brief trailer they showed I was teary eyed, it really meant something to me as a huge fan of the original. I really dont mind how long we have to wait for the game from this announcement we have already waited so long, whats another few years, I am just so happy its actually real. I was a fan of Team Sonic Racing and prevouis sonic racing games, so seeing a new one was a pleasant suprise for me too, I will definitely be getting that game myself, whever it launches. The untitled project from the ICO devs really intrigues me, I have played ICO and thought it was decent, the gameplay was very dated but I really liked the atomosphere and narrative there, hopefully with modern standards and such the gameplay can be there as well. Lastly, the Witcher is a series I have always been interested in and the reveal of a fourth one may be the push for me to finally play the series.

Overall, this Game Awards was wonderful and I hope furture ones are like this one. It'll be a tough one to live up to for sure, but i'm sure there is more awesome stuff coming that can appear next year.

That's it for this blog, stay connected!

[News] New "Hype trailer" for Summer Game Fest goes live

  Summer Game Fest gets new video source : twitter.com/summergamefest Summer Game Fest hosted by Geoff Keighley will be live this Thursday, June 8th as announced a few days ago. The event will be streamed everywhere @  3pm ET / Noon PT / 9pm CEST.  Currently, other than a showing for the recently revealed Mortal Kombat remake, there are no details as to what to expect from the show. However, in a follow up tweet to the video post, Geoff states we will find out soon. In that same reply he also says what you see in the video is not indicative of what we will or won't see. So it serves as just a little mind refresher for some of the new games this year. Link to the video can be found here  SGF video I will be watching this event, but I will have my expectations set very low. Previous summer game fests have not been that interesting so I expect this one to follow suit. Though, with E3 not being a thing anymore offici...

[News] Another game comes to Nintendo Switch Online!

Another game is now available for Nintendo Switch Online members   source:  twitter.com/NintendoAmerica Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has announced that  another game is coming to Nintendo Switch Online. This includes 1 GBA game. The GBA game included in this update is Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team. The GBA app does require the expansion pass tier so if you have it you can enjoy this game. This game will be available from August 9th. For more information on the game click this link: Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team I haven't played Red Rescue Team, but I have played Blue Rescue Team and loved it. They are essentially the same game just Blue Rescue Team was on the DS. Both aren't coming together as we sadly don't have a DS app. I hope people who have the expansion take the time to try this, as the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, while a bit repetitive in gameplay, bring a lot more interesting narratives than mainline Pokemon games.   That's it f...

[News] Grand Festival Announced! (Splatoon 3)

Nintendo has just announced the last? Splatfest! source:  x.com/NintendoAUNZ Over on X (Twitter), Nintendo has just posted the details of the last? Splatfest for Splatoon 3. It is a very special Splatfest with it being called the "Grand festival". For this, it seems all three idol groups are against each other taking one option each. The question being asked for this is "Which is the most important to you?". The three options are past (Squid Sisters), present (Off the Hook), or future (Deep Cut). The Splatfest will be available for 72 hours rather than the usual 48. It will start  Friday the 13th of September @ 01:00 am until Monday the 16th of September @ 00:59 am .  We don't know much about the fest itself but it's safe to assume it will have all the same things as a special Splatfest and more. In the trailer, we do get to see the three idol groups in special costumes, as well as hear a new collab song between the three idol groups. However, that's pre...
