NPR's excellent Games We Love list is out now. A list of stuff you ACTUALLY might not have heard about, pulled from our staff's eclectic interests.
two indie horror favorites made the list from me: Butcher's Creek and Eclipsium.

I did not love Metroid Prime 4, and think many of its ideas are antithetical to what makes the series appealing. It is full of baffling design decisions that ruin what is -- somewhere -- a good game.

thanks a lot for listening!
love seeing stories I've been thinking about since i was 12 come to fruition.
On NPR - how the music of Katamari is linked to the genre of Shibuya Kei, and what it all means:

reviewed Silent Hill F, whose tilt towards action is fundamental to depicting Hinako's eruption of rage.
she is a bonafide star in this stellar, sinister, but not especially scary return for the venerable horror series. words over @theverge.com

banger of a review
Silent Hill f is one of the best horror games ever. My review for NPR:
www.npr.org/2025/09/22/g...
I don’t think the saying “we’re so back”applies more than with Silent Hill f, an intoxicating survival horror game that weaves a brilliant fragmented story, has phenomenal atmosphere, and some genuine surprises. Genuinely one of my favorite horror games of all time www.inverse.com/gaming/silen...
Aside from being a horrifying idea, it is grimly hilarious that they are doing this to a movie about a family that is undone by new technology.

Hugely thankful to @nicolecarpenter.bsky.social for coverage of our Games for Palestine charity bundle in @aftermath.site - a site I'm a huge fan of.
This is a really comprehensive overview of the organizations involved, including @unrwa.org and of the work to get this off the ground <3
Notes from SGF: Resident Evil was underwhelming, Pragmata ripped, and a whole bunch of indies impressed.

Here's the other: Two weeks ago, over Zoom, I spoke with Quarter Up founder Mike Willette about Invincible VS, the new 3V3 tag fighter.
Yesterday, before the final day of SGF, I went to Skybound's Beverly Hills office to play it for an hour. Holy shit, y'all.

Literally all the small scale games look so much better than the big announcements tonight. Lego co op looked clever and im intrigued by the nick toons beat em up
I totally get why 3d action games keep playing like FromSoft games…but do they ALL need to look vaguely lovecraftian, too?
The theme for tonight seems to be sequels to 7/10 games that have a loyal following of reddit guys who get wildly defensive about liking it.
Puppet punch out might be the best trailer yet
At SGF with NPR! In addition to a beefy radio story we’re doing for All Things Considered about VR, going to post some more incremental impressions and updates here, as I play through the dozens of game appointments I have this weekend…
NPR let me go long on my post-GDC dispatch, which gets at the many tensions around layoffs, generative AI, and inflated budgets that the industry is grappling with right now.
You should listen if only for Keita Takahashi's very blunt assessment of AI.

I love the new episode of The MinnMax Show, it captures the excitement, confusion, and hot takes only available at the big unveiling of a new console.
Any help sharing The MinnMax Show is appreciated! youtu.be/zqUsDdnxqKM
90 dollar physical cartridges is actually evil. I loved collecting Switch physicals and now that's a legitimately difficult purchase to justify
A game I played at GDC and was v much endeared by is now out!
There were like 5 bug games at Day of the Devs and they all ripped
i typed this faster than i can think techcrunch.com/2025/04/02/t...
Sakurai should end every direct till the end of time
Just tossed into a showreel lol
So strange from a Nintendo leaving money on the table standpoint
Vanilla Wind Waker vs the remaster is the most bizarre Nintendo decision I’ve seen in a long time. Purely from a Nintendo centric financial standpoint
The partner showcase isn’t that meaningful to me but this is definitely big for the many, many people I know who are only plugged into the Nintendo infrastructure.
They really twisted the knife with that one lmao
