Senior Editor, Kotaku. I like old games, VR, music, workers, women, and low-res displays. Tips: ahall@kotaku.com

Yeah. I clarified that line to indicate it was only meant to apply to the third-party bit. Read more

That’s pretty sub-crappy, yeah. :( What OS is it running? Is it running it OK? Read more

Definitely skip the cunnilingus article we posted an hour later Read more

Yikes, don’t say such things. That’s how you fall into MMOs. Read more

Whoa, that’s rad. And if you google it, it seems a lot of other folks noticed that too! Read more

Yeah. Xbox Series X/S and PS5 took markedly different approaches this gen so I can easily see a person preferring the Microsoft ecosystem over Sony’s. In fact, I do see such people every day. Read more

Yeah! It’s so nice to see they’re sticking to the atmospheric, evocative single-player shooter stuff that made everyone fall in love with the original trilogy 14 years ago. No gimmicks, no wild 180 turns into MMOs or something. Just another lonely trip into the Zone. I’m hopeful. Read more
