I'm streaming a little more often now and seldom post these gaming clips.     The first one is the intro of Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2. Definitely gave me Starship Troopers and Aliens vibes.     The second video is Steel Assault, which has an old school Bionic Commando/Mega Man feel.      My YouTube gaming channel is PaulLikesToGame.  My Twitch channel is Paul_v_perez. Here are affiliate links to the games if you want to check them out yourself.   Steel Assault on the Nintendo Switch 1/2   Warhammer 40000: Space Marine 2 on the Playstation 5/Xbox Series Post your thoughts, comments, and feedback down below.

      Listen to the podcast here     Watch the YouTube version here       Sony’s AI Ghost Player: The Future of Gaming (And Why I’m Not Mad at It) by Paul Perez This article was assisted by AI     I know I’m late to this story. Other podcasts and YouTubers have already covered it. But after reading about Sony’s new patent for AI “ghost assistance,” I had to share my take — because this might actually be one of the most exciting ideas in gaming right now.   The concept is simple: if you’re stuck in a game, an AI-powered ghost character can appear and show you what to do. Not just a hint menu, not a YouTube walkthrough, but an   in-game presence   that can demonstrate moves, overlay guidance, speak to you in natural language, and even handle parts of the game for you.   For many gamers, the first thought is: “That’s not gaming anymore. That’s cheating.” And I get that. But for me, it opens up a new way to interact with ...

The video version of this article with my unfiltered thoughts.   By Paul Perez After visiting my brother and catching parts of the show at his place, I came home, made dinner, and watched the rest while I ate. Just because these games stood out to me at  The Game Awards 2025  doesn’t mean I’ll actually play them. For me to try a game, it usually needs great reviews, to be available on PlayStation Plus or Game Pass, or go on a steep sale on Steam . Still, some games stick with me because of their art, presentation, nostalgia, or just how original they are. Here are titles from The Game Awards 2025 that caught my eye.  Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis Nostalgia heavy This is a remake of the original  Tomb Raider , which came out almost 20 years ago, and it looks great. Crystal Dynamics, the team behind the recent trilogy, which started in 2013, is making it, and it feels like a brand-new game. What stood out to me is how  empty  it feels, with Lara Croft ...

In this episode, I talk about how I use AI for content creation. I also share my favorite games from the 2025 Game Awards, which took place in December. To wrap things up, I include a short Amapiano mixtape. These smaller mixes are part of a bigger plan—I’m releasing them individually first, then later combining them into a larger, multi-genre mixtape. Here’s a tracklisting for the Ampiano Mix:   1. 'Big Man Ting' Afro Bros, S.N.E., Stefflon Don, Engever 2. 'Tshwala Bam' Titom, Yuppe, Burna Boy, S.N.E. 3. 'Komsava' Diamond Platnumz, Khalil Harrison, Chley 4. 'No Lie' (Ampiano Remix) Vybz Kartel, DJ Karim 5. 'Let's Do It' (Ampiano Version) Vybz Kartel, Gacha Medz, Acemark 6. 'All Over You' Mabel, King Promise 7. 'GTAmpiano' Jaydon Lewis Find the video versions and articles for the mixtape here. The 2025 Game Awards here.  Finally my AI workflow here.   Thoughts? Comments?

  By Paul Perez The gaming world is buzzing again—this time with Valve’s newly announced Steam Machine, the next evolution in the Steam ecosystem. As someone who’s streamed on Twitch using the Steam Deck and enjoys portable gaming, this announcement hits a sweet spot for me.  It’s not just about new hardware; it’s about where gaming  is headed  next. A More Powerful Steam Future Valve’s latest Steam Machine promises a big leap forward—reportedly  six times  more advanced than the current Steam Deck. Being able to play games natively on the go and then return home, load up your cloud save and instantly enjoy better graphics and performance on your TV? That’s the future I’ve been waiting for. It's not to say you can't do this with your current gaming rig/PC, but I think the Steam Machine will be more affordable compared to it. I’m convinced that the Steam Deck 2 is somewhere on the horizon. How far? Who knows. Maybe months. Maybe years. But the Steam Machine ...
