While the conversation around Netflix’s new high fantasy series The Witcher remains mixed—we had some thoughts about that ending ourselves!—one thing is clear: almost everyone was watching. Maybe.

In a new press release from the streaming giant, Netflix revealed The Witcher enjoyed the biggest launch for a new streaming series on record—proving the appetite for new fantasy in the wake of the Game of Thrones ending is strong....

On Monday, January 6, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, showrunner for Netflix’s The Witcher series, hosted an AMA on Wiedźmin, a subreddit dedicated to “in-depth talk about The Witcher.” This gave fans the opportunity to inquire about a myriad of topics, ranging from the design of the show’s monsters to the changes that were made to Geralt of Rivia and beyond, and Hissrich’s response to one of the many questions that she received may be of particular interest to viewers....

Did you know there are more spinoff Pokémon titles than there are core games? It’s true even when you factor in the third version in a generation like Pokémon Yellow, or Pokémon Emerald. What’s even crazier is that they’re all generally bad. There doesn’t seem to be a need, or a want for quality control within Nintendo and Game Freak. It’s insane. Financially, it makes sense to throw Pokémon on anything you can think of though....

Tearaway is a charming platformer for PS Vita which was recently given a new lease of life on PS4 with the release of Tearaway Unfolded. Developer Media Molecule is super proud of its game, so in a promotion effort has released a list of 17 things you’re unlikely to know about it.

Since the early days of Fortnite, players have been able to get their hands on various, and oftentimes pricey, cosmetics.

Sitting here looking at my shelf, I count no less than 15 games I currently want to play. My collection edges over 100 games, but those 15 I’ve identified as to-play (and, in some cases, to-play-again). This isn’t even counting games coming out in the next couple of weeks. Is there an overabundance of video games? You bet there is. I can’t count on one hand the games I’ve started but just haven’t had the time to finish; there’s just too many of them....

For the past 30-odd years, our personal gaming systems have seen multitudes of different types of games such as platformers, shooters, sports games, and role-playing games. “What defines a JRPG?”, you may ask, and most would agree that they are exactly as they sound, being a Japanese-made role-playing game. JRPGs are some of the oldest games around, and just about any console you can find has at least a few of them to count....

There’s been a lot of negative perception about violence in video games in recent years that’s contributed to games getting a bad rap among certain overly sensitive groups. Sure some games might take it a little further than others, but in reality it’s just a sequence of 0’s and 1’s interacting on screen. Nothing to freak out about here. But the stigma remains in certain cases. Truth be told, death is a big part of most games....

Good news, Twitter fans! It’s been on the cards for a while now, but it looks like Twitter users will finally be able to edit their own tweets after they’ve tweeted them… well, for a price that is. Aptly, the news comes by way of a tweet from Twitter’s official account, which you can check out for yourself down below: As you can see, the social networking company has begun testing the edit feature internally, so it’s not yet been rolled out officially worldwide....

The Entertainment Retailers Association has announced that the UK video games market pulled in a whopping £3.864 billion in 2018, with over three billion (80.1%) of the figure made up of digital sales alone. The number does not include hardware. Digital goods saw an increase of 12.5% during the last year, while sales of physical copies declined by 2.8%. That’s not to say people aren’t buying games at brick-and-mortar retailers anymore, though....

CEX, the UK second-hand games retailer, has sent out an email to its customers warning them that it has suffered an online security breach, through which more than 2 million customer details may have been compromised.

In an email to those it believed may have been affected, CEX managing director, David Mullins, has attempted to calm worried customers, saying that, ‘We want to reiterate that any payment card information that has been taken was encrypted and has long since expired....

Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, which includes Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: Lost Legacy, is coming to PS5. Both games have been remastered—and, I imagine, given the DualSense treatment—and will make their way to PS5 in “early 2022.” The collection is also heading to PC. According to a post on the PlayStation Blog, “The PC version is in development by our partners at Iron Galaxy and will release shortly after the PS5 version....

Notions have spread in recent years that traditional turn-based RPGs have fallen out of fashion, particularly in the AAA gaming space. But while it may hold true that turn-based RPGs rarely receive resources and funding on the level of the average AAA game, the genre still has a sizable audience today. Classic turn-based RPG franchises like Dragon Quest and Pokemon still find plenty of success, and a whole host of indie titles have catered to fans of the genre in their own ways....
