Unity boss and former EA exec John Riccitiello has been slammed for his comments regarding mobile developers who don’t seek to squeeze monetisation from their smartphone games. Riccitiello raised eyebrows when discussing developers who don’t prioritise monetisation as part of their creative process. “It’s a very small portion of the gaming industry that works that way,” Riccitiello told PocketGamer.biz, “and some of these people are my favorite people in the world to fight with - they’re the most beautiful and pure, brilliant people....

Sky’s street racing drama Curfew is a veritable feast for genre fans. Starring Sean Bean, Phoebe Fox, Billy Zane and Miranda Richardson among many others, it’s set in an alt-present London, where a curfew has been put in place to protect ordinary people from flesh-eating ‘mooks’ who hunt at night-time. Understandably, a lot of people are sick of being under the government’s thumb, not to mention fending off mooks, and Curfew follows a set of characters who attempt to race their way free from this hellish existence, and earn a place on a paradise island devoid of infected creatures....

Untamed Isles, a Pokémon-like MMORPG with “optional” play-to-earn elements, has been placed on indefinite hiatus. The game had been set for an Early Access release date of 6th October, which will no longer be happening. “There’s been a lot going on in the last 72 hours. This has been a wild rush,” is how Joshua Grant, CEO of Phat Loot Studios, opened his Twitch stream on 12th August. The stream was held to address the statement that had just been published by Phat Loot, in which Untamed Isles’ hiatus was announced, and to field questions from the community....

After years of teasing, developer House House has announced that its sandbox prankster title, Untitled Goose Game, will hit PC (via the Epic Games Store) and Switch on Sept 20. Coming in at $19.99, a launch week discount will see the price knocked down to $14.99 for early adopters. The game will be available in 11 different languages to accommodate non-English speaking folks. Originally announced in late 2017 under the guise of Untitled, it seems the comedic nature of that name lent itself well to what House House has created....

Voltron: Legendary Defender season two ended on a major cliffhanger. After finally getting his black bayard, Shiro was able to activate one of the hidden powers of the Black Lion. Zarkon seemed defeated and the Paladins raced back to the Castle Ship…. Only to find Shiro was gone. He wasn’t dead just… gone. In the hiatus between seasons two and three fans speculated what happened to him. Was he somehow fused with the Black Lion?...

So Rocket League was a central plot point on Fuller House, for some reason. Well, the reason was fairly well stated: single-mom DJ wanted to get to know her misanthropic teenage son Jackson. The two don’t really talk much (a common issue between teenagers and their parents), and sit-com logic dictates that the fastest way to get to know your child is to take up like interests. Hence, video games....

After that, there were many Pokemon titles released and at the time of this article, there are 8 Generations and Gen 9 on the horizon.

House of the Dragon has been a fantastic ride, ending with a season finale that has viewers wanting more. It has so much potential to be better than its older sibling, Game of Thrones—a show that started off so strong and just ended abruptly. It didn’t help that Game of Thrones ran out of book to adapt; George R.R. Martin is still working on the sequels (take your time, buddy). If Game of Thrones was based on his work, does that mean the same for House of the Dragon?...

Video games have a long history of being strange. Even some of the greatest franchises which we take for granted, like Super Mario Bros., are quirky in nature. When distilled to its core principles, it’s about a plumber saving the princess of a mushroom-themed kingdom from evil turtles. Most video games are at least a little bit quirky, even the ones which look completely serious on the outside. For example, in Call of Duty: Black Ops II, the map “Hijacked” takes place on a boat and yet, an airstrike can be called in, and it won’t sink the boat....
