Slay The Spire 2's Next-Level Co-Op Makes It An Early GOTY Contender If you have friends to play with, Slay the Spire 2 is an incredible step forward for roguelike deckbuilders.

Co-op is a game-changer for Slay the Spire 2 www.gamespot.com/articles/sla...

Our Favorite Games Of 2025 That Didn't Make The Top 10 We loved way more than 10 of 2025's releases. Here are our individual choices for Game of the Year that didn't make the cut.

This is among my favorite things we publish each year: our personal Games of the Year that didn't make the team's top 10. In other words, my chance to shower praise upon The Hundred Line www.gamespot.com/gallery/our-...

I'm gonna be honest, it's news to me you weren't doing this many years ago because I can so perfectly envision you typing this

I've been a Knicks fan for ~24 years and that is the first time I've ever seen them win anything. Incredible

There actually is one, though you may need to log in to access it

Mighty tempting, but I had more Hundred Line to continue playing

GameSpot's 10 Best Games Of 2025 We've tallied the votes, debated the games' merits, and chosen our top 10 games of the year.

Here are GameSpot's picks for the 10 best games of 2025. The Hundred Line didn't make the cut, but I like to think that's because it's simply too good www.gamespot.com/gallery/game...

Hack-a on Mitchell Robinson (or anyone) needs to go. You can talk about guys needing to be able to make free throws, but it's an entertainment product and it's horrible to watch. Same as teams up three fouling late in games.

why do we still lack the technology to prevent email confirmations for every individual free game you claim online

I would take TF3 over any combination of other Valve games

I've been waiting for Demonschool for what feels like five years. Can't wait to play it.

This week I’m going to raise money for @medicalaidpal.bsky.social to help Palestinians in need.

On Fri I'll start & finish Metal Gear Solid, MGS2 on Sat, Delta on Sun. It'll be 9 AM PT each day on www.twitch.tv/tamoorh.

Fundraiser is live on my Twitch. Please share if you can!

The new Circuits game on Puzzmo is delightful. Very fun to do with my wife, who devoured all of the existing ones with me over the weekend. 200 old ones being added to the archive is exciting news

Easily my favorite game of 2024 (and 2025 so far)

The problem I personally find is the number is different seemingly every single time

Yeah, it's incredibly annoying. I've considered subscribing to one of those services that's meant to cull your personal data online, since it sure feels like mine must be...everywhere

It's not a perfect solution, but this year I turned on the "automatically silence unknown callers" feature on my phone and it's been such a wonderful quality-of-life improvement

Pokemon Champions Could Unlock The Best Part Of Pokemon For Everyone The upcoming official Pokemon battle simulator could bring the competitive scene to a much bigger audience if done right.

I don’t think people understand how big of a deal Pokemon Champions is…

So, I wrote 1000+ words on why.

Subnautica 2 Fans Call For A Boycott, Publisher Accuses Ex-Leadership Of Abandoning Responsibilities After reports about Unknown Worlds potentially losing a $250 million bonus over the delay of Subnautica 2, some fans are calling for a boycott.

Krafton saying it's committed to providing promised rewards to remaining Subnautica devs sounded vague to me. Spokesperson tells GameSpot it's "working on a fair and equitable compensation for those who have contributed to Subnautica 2’s continued development" www.gamespot.com/articles/sub...
