We knew when we gave the original Half-Life a 97% way back in 1998 that it was something special that gamers would be playing years from then. But I don’t think we ever thought someone would play it on a Nokia phone at 30 FPS, with mouse and keyboard support. Oh, technology can be a…
I’ve played a few theme park sims in my day, which means I’ve accidentally—and occasionally on purpose—killed some of my guests.

Hideo Kojima got to live out his well-documented dream of visiting space recently, but don’t get too excited, it was only via an appearance in an AI-generated Prada ad. It was tremendously bleak and no one liked it. Including, I suppose, Hideo Kojima himself? In a recent chat with The Washington Post, Kojima said that—ignore…

We already knew about Persona 4 Revival, but the new glimpse showcased some proper gameplay for the first time along with confirmation that it will launch on 18th February 2027.
