“It’s Like playing chess,” says Susanne Bier, director of the six part glossy thriller The Undoing, a twisty mystery based on the ‘grip lit’ novel You Should Have Known by Jean Hanff Korelitz. She’s talking about the delicate relationship with the audience it’s necessary to maintain when crafting a show packed with complicated characters full of secrets. “It’s a very interesting, meticulous puzzle where you need to keep that precarious balance where you hold hands with the audience, but also hold back,” she explains....

Following the closure of Telltale Games, the fate of The Walking Dead: The Final Season seemed grim. The heartbreaking layoff of the Telltale staff meant that Clementine’s story would not have an ending, and fans would be left in the air about the future of the Telltale protagonist. However, Skybound Games, a division of Skybound Entertainment, has come to an agreement with Telltale Games to give Clementine the ending she deserves....

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 11 Episode 15 Everyone in the world of The Walking Dead is keeping an impressive amount of heavy secrets. As Ezekiel (Khary Payton) says in “Trust,” darkness is heavy, and some people can carry more of it than others. For Ezekiel, his dark secret is also his way to spread a little light into a world sorely needing it.

Where else could I begin but with the big cliffhanger at the end of the midseason finale, as young Carl Grimes awaits death in the sewers underneath Alexandria? I’m going to stay away from spoilers since we’re still two weeks out from the midseason premiere, but what I can say is that “Honor” delivers on this cliffhanger as well as a few other threads that were left hanging in “How It’s Gotta Be....

Who would have expected that when The Witcher 3 launched that so many of us would spend most of our time playing Gwent, a turn-based collectible card game made specifically for Witcher 3? We sure didn’t but here we are, neck-deep and loving it. Gwent has become so popular that CD Projekt Red even made standalone titles for the card game. Finding Ciri? Stopping the Wild Hunt? Who’s got time for that when there’s Gwent to be played?...

The Witcher series of games is a fan favorite, partly for its immersive nature. It’s a masterful depiction of a fantasy world, rendered in exquisite detail. A large part of the realism of the game comes from its well-crafted characters that fans can’t get enough of seeing. Most of these characters wear clothing that reflects their varied lives and roles on the Continent, but there are a few that just aren’t dressed for success....

CONTENT WARNING: Okay, so, we all know that Cyberpunk 2077 is a very adult game, yes? That means there’s both graphic violence and graphic depictions of certain areas. What I’m saying is, children should definitely not scroll down because there’s going to be digital representations of peen. Hilarious peen, but peen nonetheless. You have been warned. Now that the adults-only warning is out of the way, Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of hilarious bugs that center around what we’re going to refer to as the “groinal region”....

Thanks in part to the still-fresh release of The Last of Us: Part II, as well as the Steam Summer Sale being in full swing, not many indie games are being released this week. This is a smart move to make on behalf of indie studios so that their games don’t go overlooked, getting lost in a sea of sales. That said, there are still a handful of new indie titles that would be worth your time....

With recent hits like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Apex Legends, Respawn Entertainment has become a household name among EA’s studios. But more recent fans might not remember that the studio’s first projects were 2014’s Titanfall and its 2016 sequel, which both stood apart from the FPS crowd with an incredible premise: taking control of mech suits and the elite pilots that fight with them in explosive, far-future battles....

The Fallout series is one of the most well-regarded and beloved in gaming. Nearly every entry into the franchise has been a critical hit, as well as commercial. One game, however, is a bit of a disappointment compared to others; Fallout 76. And in a recent interview with The Guardian, Bethesda director and executive producer Todd Howard commented on the title that he called a ’let down.' Leading up to the launch of Fallout 76 in 2018, many fans were concerned that the game would not live up to the standards of the series, thanks in part to the game changing the formula of the franchise by being an online-focused title....

Reviews for one of the year’s most anticipated games, Cyberpunk 2077, have started rolling in, but there was one that stood out from the rest. Unfortunately, it had nothing to do with the gameplay mechanics or the fact that Hideo Kojima can be found in Night City. Instead, it stood out because the reviewer had a “massive epileptic seizure” while playing the game and wanted to warn others with epilepsy. Now, UK-based group Epilepsy Action is urging Cyberpunk developer CDPR to make changes to the game....

Back in May 2020, developer Riot Games released Patch 0.50 for its 5v5 multiplayer tactical FPS Valorant. Among other things, the patch aimed to tweak some of the shooting mechanics in the game, such as making single-tap and burst fire for rifles more efficient. There were two major weapon updates that came with Patch 0.50 as well. First, pre-patch, Valorant players transitioning between running and walking would enter a “walking accuracy” state, but their shots maintained accuracy as if fired from a standing position....
