I also had a dream come true at the Alan Wake 2 preview. I finally met Sam Lake and got a picture. He's one of my gaming heroes, and I'm so happy he's able to make this sequel.
I'm heading West! That's right, I'll be handling the

These "deer mask" cultists roamed the room during our preview session. Was startling a few times to be engrossed in Alan Wake 2 then look up and see one of them standing there watching you. Stay tuned to
@GamingTrend
for our upcoming preview September 27th!
In three hours of a hands-on preview for
@alanwake
2, I didn't want to put it down.
@remedygames
has somehow recaptured what made Alan Wake special 13 years ago... again. Check out the
@GamingTrend
preview below!

Oh my gosh I can't believe you shared my review! Thank you so much Shu! You're an amazing person and I'm just mindblown that this is happening... I apologize for the fanboying 😬

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 review is here! This is one of the best superhero games ever, period. Every element from the first game has been improved on.

So, one of the people I ran into during my
#SummerGameFest
trip was
@JakeBaldino
! Straight up one of the most genuine, nice people I've ever met. It was amazing getting to chat with him, hope to run into him again soon!
Anyone who knows me knows I hate having happy birthday sang to me (I deal with some social anxiety), but all of that was overpowered when
#Ahsoka
herself (Ashley Eckstein) got the entire room, including the other Clone Wars cast, to sing it to me. Best birthday ever.
#StarWars
Very proud of this one. I had the chance to talk
#TheAwakened
with the Sound Designer of
@Frogwares
@SHolmes_Games
, Viacheslav Pakalin. It was extremely informative on all fronts, and he was amazing to chat with. Check it out below on

Honestly, I'm flabbergasted to have written this Alan Wake 2 review. I remember working the GameStop midnight launch for the original and RDR, and I went home with my collector's edition and played Alan Wake all weekend. It's an honor to be covering this game.

My
@GamingTrend
review for
@alanwake
2 is here! There is nothing you'll play this year like Alan Wake 2, trust me. It took thirteen years, but
@remedygames
has crafted a worthy sequel. Check out the review below!
#AlanWake2
Thank you to the awesome folks over at
@mundfish
for setting me up with this awesome little press kit for

for the review soon!
Super excited to say I have my hands on

#MarvelsSpiderMan
on PC, and the
@GamingTrend
review will go live on Wednesday, August 10th, at 11pm EST. As you see below, there will be Steam Deck impressions!
Watched the OG Spider-Man movie again. I forgot how amazing it was for the start of comic book movies. Dafoe is incredible and so is the Goblin suit. I'm honestly blown away by how well it holds up. On to Spidey 2.
@Warzone_Loadout
It's grinding and completing missions while getting kills on AI and other players, then exfiling. I love the change up, but I don't think it will be for everyone. I also think it's something you really need to play yourself to enjoy.
Also, if you haven't done so, go grab the
@CODE4Vets
pack off the
#Vanguard
store. 100% goes to helping veterans, and you get some cool stuff for your loadouts in Call Of Duty. It's worth the $10 to help somebody.
What a time to be alive. Thank you for an amazing performance Sam Lake, Ilkka Villi, Matthew Poretta, David Harewood, and of course the incredible Poets of the Fall! ALAN WAKE 2 FOR GOTY!
I'm getting a ton of extra frames out of my PC in

with these optimized settings. Thanks to
@KIRNEILL
for taking the time to figure this all out!

Hey everyone! If you didn't know, I'm David Burdette, and I'm the Lead Editor with Gaming Trend. I love to play & cover video games, and I play everywhere, PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PC. My fave games-
-Horizon Forbidden West
-Call Of Duty
-Batman Arkham
-Gears
-and many more!
I've played a lot of games this year, and Alan Wake 2 is one that has stuck with me. The artistry on display is incredible. I'm still extrapolating the dual narrative. It's absolutely a GOTY-worthy candidate.
When I reviewed the PS4 version of Days Gone I went through 35 hours in a week and a half, while working a normal 40 hour job and trying to be present for the birth of my nephew. It can be a rough gig.
Sam Witwer I don’t think is wrong here
I’ve been in games media for over 13 years and it seems obvious that some reviewers don’t finish games before publishing. But this conversation is so layered and nuanced
Bottom line though, reviewers should be open about what they played⤵️
Here's the thing, nobody is saying there wasn't a lot of substance at the PlayStation Showcase. In fact, there were some bangers. It's that the expectation was to see what the next stage of PS5 was. We didn't get that today and know almost as much as we did yesterday.
I honestly never thought I'd hit the day when my work was reposted by
@insomniacgames
. There's been so much work and effort I've put into developing my writing, and I'm overwhelmed by not just the response, but the support I've had getting here.
Remedy is one of my favorite game studios out there, and I'm so happy to see Alan Wake 2 resonating with everyone! Congrats
@SamLakeRMD
,
@TimePirateNinja
,
@RiotRMD
, and the many devs that worked on this game!

Since everyone seems to be dropping some screenshots from

, check this one out I took. Yes, this is an in game shot, not a cutscene.
For those invited Halo Infinite Tech Test 2 is LIVE! (Just Bots atm)
I've missed this game so much since the first tech test. It just plays and runs like an absolute dream on Xbox Series X
343 have absolutely nailed the gameplay, map design, and art style this time around

Got to be a part of a press conference with
@aBeZy
and
@Arcitys
to do this write-up, and let me tell you, they're about as down to earth as you could think. Great dudes who love playing COD. Faze up bois!
