On the 10th anniversary of Kenji Eno's death, I spoke to his close friends and collaborators for @NME_Games to learn about the musical legacy of one of the brightest minds to ever bless the video game industry. nme.com/features/gamin…

Two GOATs

Imagine making a game you're passionate about, having it achieve massive success beyond your wildest dreams, and then getting to visit some of the people who inspired you to make that game to exchange creative ideas with them. This is amazing.

Hello Expeditionners, Today we are three months after the release of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! I’m happy to announce that pre-orders for the physical editions of the original soundtrack are now open! 🎶🎷 lnk.to/expedition-33-… Thanks to the love and enthusiasm you’ve shared…

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Happy to finally announce this. Everyone at Laced, Sandfall and Kepler has put so much time into overseeing this (there's so much work that goes on behind the scenes!) and it's been a real labour of love.

System of a Down's cover of Snowblind is still fucking incredible (completely forgot about this!) youtube.com/watch?v=noosm5…

There's some nice bits in this but to suggest Hawk is bullshitting about the role he played in curating the game's soundtrack – something he's been deeply involved with throughout the series – is pretty fucking wild. thegamer.com/tony-hawks-pro…

Tomorrow comes. 24th July - 15:00 CEST | 14:00 BST | 09:00 EDT | 06:00 PDT Don't worry - pre-orders will be open for at least the next few weeks 😉

Came up with a silly idea and Bennifer made it 10x better than I could have ever imagined

So much of DOOM’s soul is down to heavy metal, and without Ozzy and Sabbath, I am not sure it would have been the same. Certainly, I would not have been the same. Metal gave a voice to a whole generation of kids that didn’t fit in for one reason or another. It still does. RIP…

New Sea Shanty 2 just dropped at Tomorrowland festival @IAmAlanWalker 🔥

Reviews for Donkey Kong Bananza are in. Critics say it's bigger, faster and stronger but quick and nimble when it needs to be. DK is back (and about time too) and this time he's in the mood. Destruction mechanics make crushing rocks seem such a breeze.

Happy Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 release date! @ckymusic, @AFI, @DwynellRoland, @Bodyjar, @enditbchc, @jeffrosenstock & more talk about featuring in the soundtrack and the impact of the games on music and skate culture. videogameschronicle.com/features/cky-m…

New Tony Hawk game so naturally I had to come out of journo retirement given I wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing today if it wasn’t for this video game series. God bless Tony Hawk and Neversoft/Activision’s music supervisors - you changed so many lives, as quoted in this!

Say what you want about Yungblud but he gave one of the best performances and tributes of the day on Saturday. Incredible vocal range on the lad!

Square Enix is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy IX (the best one) with a special music live stream youtube.com/watch?v=t9anxe…

One of the best gigs I’ve ever been to

My fucking bald head in the background of this is hilarious
