How About a Ghost of Yōtei Story Trailer?
Ghost of Yōtei is a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, an excellent game, and it’s coming out later this year. I’m excited. You should be excited. Should be a great game! And it’s a random Monday at the end of April, so how about a new trailer that shows off a bit of the story? Seems like a good use of all of our time.
Looks good to me. I don’t even need to see anything else about this game. I’m getting it. Maybe Day One, maybe not. Depends on when Grand Theft Auto VI comes out. Everything depends on when GTA6 comes out. But Ghost of Yōtei comes out on Oct. 2. So we’ll see! Though how I’ll be able to go from this to getting Assassin’s Creed: Shadows on sale next year should be tough.
Speaking of games, I’ve just bought and downloaded Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 this morning. I’ve finished Kingdom Come: Deliverance II and didn’t know what to move on to next, and then the internet started gushing about this Expedition 33 game. I know very little about it, haven’t seen a trailer, so I’m mostly going in blind. I’ll let you know how it goes at the end of the week.

Ghosts of Yōtei Looks Friggin’ Sweet
Playstation held one of their State of Plays yesterday to reveal a suite of upcoming games. I wasn’t too interested in most of them, but we got our first look at the upcoming sequel to the truly amazing Ghosts of Tsushima. It’s going to be Ghosts of Yōtei, a new story with a new protagonist with the same beauty and power.
Looks awesome! I loved Ghosts of Tsushima, like everybody else, and this sequel looks awesome. I love the idea of moving ahead in time to a new character and story. That works perfectly fine for me. The new protagonist is named Atsu and she’s got a sweet guitar on her back; I wonder what that’s about. Atsu is going to be voiced by Erika Ishii, of whom I’m a huge fan thanks to her work on Dropout! So awesome!
Ghosts of Yōtei is going to come out next year, which means 2025 is going to be an insanely huge year for video games! I spent 2024 trying not to spend too much money on new games, and have mostly succeeded. But it seems I’m going to be shelling out so much money next year for new games!

6 Costumes I Want in the New Spider-Man Games
I am currently swinging my way through the new Spider-Man 2 video game on Playstation 5, having a grand old time fighting bad guys, thwipping webs and fighting Venoms. When I beat the game, I’ll do a round-up List of Six (maybe next week?), but today I wanted to touch upon a specific aspect of the game series: the costumes! I love alternate costumes, even if I don’t use them very often, and even after three games in this series, there are more I want to see.
I’m a sucker for maintaining story accurate costumes in these games. No matter how well these alternate costumes are incorporated into the animation and gameplay, I’m still usually wearing Peter or Miles’s game canon costume for the story missions. I can’t help myself. But I’ve loved having the alternate costume option since all the way back to the Spider-Man Playstation 1 games. Spidey has so many costumes, it’s a hoot to have them available. And I definitely indulge when it comes to side quests or mini-games, or just swinging around the city in new duds.
So when we get some DLC or even Spider-Man 3 or Spider-Man: Miles Morales 2, these are the costumes I still want to see in this game series.
Read the rest of this entryIt’s Spider-Man 2 Day!
The day is finally here! After waiting many years, after waiting all day this week, after waiting the hours of my work day, it’s finally time to play and enjoy Spider-Man 2! Granted, I’m posting this in the morning and won’t be able to play until I get out of work later…but still, let’s be happy!
Here’s the launch trailer. Looks great.
This game is gonna be a blast! The last game, and the Miles Morales spin-off, were amazing. And I’ve got a 3-day weekend ahead of me, so I plan to play all weekend long. Gonna swing and web to my heart’s content! I hope everyone else is having just as much fun.

Symbiote Action in New Spider-Man 2 Video Game!
Spider-Man is the star of a lot of great video games. And the current streak is 2 for 2, baby! Spider-Man and Spider-Man: Miles Morales were bangers. They were perfect. So you best believe I’m very excited for the new game. And we got our first real, full look at some story elements and gameplay in a video yesterday. And now I’m sharing that with you all!
Looks great to me! They do a lot of great things with Kraven in the opening cinematic. I’m a little surprised that he’s going to have enough goons at his disposal to populate an entire video game’s worth of henchmen. But we’ll see! I love the switching between Peter and Miles. It’s probably going to be a lot similar to Grand Theft Auto 5. I love the look of the black symbiote suit. I love the subtle ways it’s making Peter angrier — or not so subtle, it’s pretty obvious.
Game looks great. Can’t wait. But we gotta, until the fall.
