Ubisoft’s Watch Dogs: Legion has been marketed on its “play as anyone” mechanic, which Creative Director Clint Hocking said is an evolution of the first game’s focus on learning about passersby during an AMA on the r/watch_dogs subreddit today.

As Disney’s Star Wars Sequel Trilogy movies became a hot button topic in recent years, the scathing stigma once widely attached to their immediate predecessors, Lucasfilm’s 1999-2005 Prequel Trilogy, has oddly eased back. It’s a phenomenon that, 16 years after their conclusion, is attributed to generational nostalgia and, arguably, plot-enriching context on the films’ era provided by multimedia material such as celebrated franchise-watershed animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In fact, a potent figure in the franchise, Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill, recently dealt intriguing praise onto the prequels....

Reggie Fils-Aime has announced that he will be retiring from his position as the President and COO of Nintendo of America as of April 15th. His replacement will be Doug Bowser, who is the Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing and probably isn’t the Bowser from the Super Mario Bros. series in disguise The departure of Reggie from Nintendo feels like the end of an era, especially after the passing of Satoru Iwata in 2015, and Shigeru Miyamoto saying he’s entrusting the company to its younger developers....

The Walking Dead franchise hasn’t had the best luck when it comes to video games. The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct was eviscerated by critics and shrugged off as shovelware, Telltale’s The Walking Dead almost didn’t even get an ending, and Overkill’s The Walking Dead was canned after years in development. Regardless, the franchise’s popularity ensures that video games based on it will consistently be released, and the latest is a virtual reality horror game called The Walking Dead: Onslaught....

A core element of the combat in The Witcher series is preparation before a battle. Running blindly at monsters could get one eviscerated, scorched, consumed, or worse. Thankfully, there are many items that a witcher can create and then take into combat to aid against particularly dangerous adversaries. Bombs, weapon coatings, potions, and even food can give one an edge over the hideous fiends that need to be hunted down for the betterment of the Northern Realms....

The Witcher has many great characters that helped it become one of the most popular games of all time.
