As far as television adaptations go, Netflix’s The Witcher series has been a pretty good one. Fans have applauded how faithful Netflix has been to Geralt of Rivia, and The Witcher is now one of Netflix’s highest-rated shows on IMDB. However, fans have noticed a pretty funny quirk with Geralt, one that Reddit user Al-Andalusia poked some fun at. A new supercut from the user shows off every time that Geralt, portrayed by Henry Cavill, goes “hmmm” in The Witcher, and even without context, the results are pretty entertaining....

The opening ceremony of Blizzcon 2019 has concluded and several huge game announcements were made, but one name was notably absent from the proceedings: Diablo Immortal. Blizzard took a lot of flak following last year’s Blizzcon event when the much anticipated Diablo series announcement turned out to be the mobile title we now know as Diablo Immortal. The response to the announcement was so negative that Blizzard’s stock value fell by seven percent....

There’s a unique ambiance to the original Resident Evil games that’s hard to express; anybody who has played the games knows what I mean. And for those who haven’t, fear not — you won’t have to read my best efforts to try and describe it. There’s an image-generating AI whose pictures tell a thousand words, and it’s even put a special twist on the game’s aesthetic thanks to the clever instructions of one YouTuber....

Three fans, led by Lumpy Touch, have taken Better Call Saul and Gameboy’d it. A three-minute teaser - which includes light spoilers for S1E9, S5E8, and S6E5, so be warned - lovingly recreates Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould’s Breaking Bad spin-off as a monochrome Gameboy game, complete with plenty of fan service touches, including one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen: a happy Mike. The demake includes character options - which ranks your three playable characters Jimmy, Kim, and Mike by their Guts, Hustle, Authority, and Lawyer traits as well as unique passive skills - cut-scenes, and even a fab chip-tune version of the theme track....

Tokyo 42 is one of those wonderful games, in that you can probably tell if it’s your sort of thing based solely on an initial description. Here we go: Tokyo 42 is the love-child of Grand Theft Auto (the original one, not the 3D sequels) and Syndicate (the original one, not the bastardised FPS) in which you play a hitman in a futuristic Tokyo skyscape. It’s isometric, potentially stealthy, and tremendously silly....

Creative Assembly has announced a new culture pack called Total War: ROME 2 – Desert Kingdoms. The new pack introduces four new playable factions with new rosters, building chains, and new tech trees. The new factions include The Kingdoms of Kush, Saba and Nabatea of the African/Arabian subculture, and the Masaesyli of Numidia. The new DLC will launch on 8 March and there will also be a free update for players not diving unto the DLC....

Last year, Creative Assembly released Total War Saga: Thrones of Britannia. Let’s just say that it didn’t necessarily set the world on fire, as you can see in our official review. A lukewarm reception followed by more disappointments also led to the admission of its game director that Britannia did face a lot of growing pains given player feedback. Fast forward, and we’ll now see what the next spinoff title in the franchise can offer....

The Polestar 2 is the brand’s first truly electric EV and their first BEV to enter mass production. The Toyota bZ3 will be equipped with either a 181 HP or a 240 HP electric motor. For 2022, the price of the Polestar 2 was $45,900. The Toyota bZ3 is expected to be as low and affordable as $29,000. Quarter after quarter, electric vehicle sales continue to set new records. In the first half of 2022 and in the United States alone, more than 300,000 EVs moved off the lot and onto the streets....

The game will release for PC (Via Steam and Epic Games Store), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on September 6. Pre-orders will grant a 4-day early access and a decal pack. The new game includes dynamic weather, volumetric skies, and a new lighting system. You may have to drive your trains through thunderstorms, snow, or leaves on the track that will reduce friction....

The Trine franchise returns for the fourth entry in the series, Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince. Fans of the franchise are undoubtedly eagerly anticipating the release of the latest installment. For everyone else who, like myself, has no prior knowledge of the game, allow me to lead off this preview by asking: Where has this game been all my life!? What’s Old Is New Again The Trine series got its start over ten years ago, when it released for The PC in 2009....

Twitch has removed LGB Alliance from its list of approved charities following backlash from streamers and viewers. On 7th December, Twitch announced it had added “tens of thousands” of new global charities to its charity tool for streamers. The feature was added in July in a US-only beta, and became available to all partners in August. Twitch and Paypal Giving Fund do not take a cut of donations raised through the charity tool....

Twitch streamer Seansstream has set a new record for hours streamed within a 30-day period. The content creator smashes the previous record of 570 hours by finishing with 595 hours when all was said and done. Based out of Germany, Seansstream is sure to generate a ton of attention thanks to his achievement. The content creator averaged 20-hour streams per day, but split them in a less conventional way. Some streams went on for over 24 hours (the longest single broadcast tallied 36 hours), while others were much shorter....

Those not completely satisfied with the character choices in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood’s multiplayer mode will be pleased to hear that two new characters have been announced as pre-order bonuses. The uptight and fancily pantalooned soldier will be available through pre-order with Best Buy. Details on how to obtain the mean-spirited (due to oddly manifested weight gain, I would imagine) Blacksmith are practically nonexistent, but I’m sure we’ll learn that it’s an exclusive for some online retailer or other soon enough....

The Avatar Project, the video game adaptation of the 2009 movie, is still happening over at Ubisoft’s Massive studio (via GameSpot). One fan asked for an update on The Avatar Project, the video game adaptation that was announced in 2017 but has maintained a low profile ever since. The account confirmed it’s “still being developed” and the studio is recruiting for various positions like AI programmer, animator, and development tester. Ubisoft Massive is pulling the strings, and the game will use The Division’s Snowdrop engine....

EA Sports has revealed the final UFC 2 cover art, inserting Conor McGregor onto the box alongside Ronda Rousey following the 27 year-old Irishman’s stunning victory over Jose Alda at UFC 194 this weekend. EA had earlier announced that the winner of the UFC Featherweight title fight was to be placed on the UFC 2 game cover art. McGregor won the bout in just 13 seconds after knocking out Aldo, a fighter who had been undefeated in 18 bouts dating back to 2005....

The Division has held on to the top of the UK All-Formats Video Game Charts for a fourth week in a row, fending off an advance from the cut price Far Cry Primal. Ubisoft’s stone-age adventure climbs one place to No.2 following a range of retailer price promotions, with FIFA 16 also moving up one to No.3. GTA 5 climbs two places to No.4, with Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 holding at No....

Valheim is a game where resources take a priority if you are looking to progress further in the game. Collecting various resources and upgrading items and tools is the name of the game. As such the individual carrying capacity of a character is limited to 300 units only. Therefore, it makes sense to have a Cart in Valheim in order to collect a larger quantity of resources. You can even kill enemies and farm while moving around with a Cart attached....

Troll Hide armor in Valheim is designed to make your stealth levels go up. As the description says, it makes you more sneaky. This will be useful when you want to sneak up on an enemy to kill them or to approach an animal like a Lox to tame them. Find out how to make Troll Hide Armor (Troll set) for yourself in this guide. How to Craft Troll Hide Armor in Valheim?...

It’s been a week or so since Riot Games launched Valorant’s newest Agent, the water-bending controller named Habor, and I think it’s safe to say his impression on the meta has so far been underwhelming. Actually, I’d go so far as to say he’s perhaps the worst-performing Agent at launch the game has seen yet, and I won’t be at all surprised if he’s given a buff in quick order....

Apparently, keeping secrets in the video game industry is more difficult than most would imagine. This past week Valve prematurely revealed the three upcoming character releases for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition: E. Honda, Poison, and Lucia. Their release was originally intended for Sunday, August 4, as a triumphant end to Evo 2019, where right now the best players in the world are competing in the most popular fighting games....
