This article contains spoilers for The Walking Dead series finale. The Walking Dead series finale, “Rest in Peace,” had to confront some challenges that few other shows will ever face. In addition to wrapping up 11 seasons of storytelling, The Walking Dead‘s final episode had to also leave some room for the future. AMC has made no attempt to hide the fact that The Walking Dead series finale wouldn’t really be the end....

Roach is iconic to The Witcher series and it’s hard to imagine where Geralt would be without his loyal steed. Their bond is strong. Roach will ride into battle with him (unless she’s just not having it and tosses him off) and she always comes when he calls, no matter the hurdles. She’ll conquer natural physics just to get to this man. Because Roach is so important to the story, it’s natural memes would surface revolving solely around her, especially since she was apart of the major bug issues in The Witcher 3....

The bond between Geralt and Ciri is easily one of the highlights of The Witcher series, and fans of the video games were more than pleased to find out that Geralt’s surrogate daughter would be making an appearance for the very first time in The Witcher 3. It was a moment that was a long time in the making, and the payoff was more than satisfying. However, while most people might consider Geralt and Ciri to be an infallible partnership — which, for the most part, it might seem like — a closer look will reveal the cracks in this relationship that are quite egregious....

2021 has been an admittedly slow year in terms of new game releases, but the pace will pickup within the next couple of months as exciting titles like Resident Evil: Village, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart come out in May and June.

Later this year, Eternals will also be seeing a theatrical release.

Newly unearthed information from developers working on the game suggests that Activision was testing out ideas for a Guitar Hero MMO where players would engage in combat via dance battle. At the peak of its popularity, the Guitar Hero series was seen as a major cash-cow for its publisher Activision, as as such a steady stream of sequels and spin-offs was lined up. We saw DJ Hero and Band Hero attempt to bring new life to the franchise — but a planned MMO installment never saw release....

Video game enthusiasts don’t have to go far to find all sorts of game rumors and “leaks” online. It seems new rumors pop up each day, some of which stem from credible sources, and others that are more likely fake than not.

Townscaper is almost certainly the cutest building simulator you’ll ever lay your eyes on, and it’s available right now for you to play with. And play with is indeed the most appropriate phrase to use here, as Townscaper is more of a toy than a fully-fledged game in the traditional sense of the word. That’s at least what its developer Oskar Stålberg declares, calling it “an experimental passion project. More of a toy than a game… No goal....

The Writers Guild of America West, taking a strong stand, has directed all its members not to sign any liability waivers regarding Coronavirus and the ongoing pandemic. Leadership has firmly rejected any form of the waivers, which would exempt employers from any responsibility in the case their workers contract the virus due to their work environment.

When it comes to the top Twitch streamers, many people often think of Ninja, who has leveraged his Fortnite fame to become an internationally-known celebrity, and DrDisRespect, who portrays a WWE-style character to entertain his viewers.

We are currently right in the middle of the next-gen releases, with the PlayStation 4 hitting last week and the Xbox One hitting on Friday. The PlayStation 4 has already flown off the shelves selling over a million consoles in just its first 24 hours. While predictions are lower for the Xbox One, there is little doubt that it will have trouble moving units either....

UPDATE: Ubisoft reached out to Gematsu to confirm that there are inaccuracies related to “Ubisoft titles that will be playable on PS5.” The Ubisoft article that listed several games that would not be backward compatible on PS5 has been pulled offline.

Undertale is a phenomenon: a little indie game that has spawned a fan community so vast and sprawling that it rivals the communities from any triple-A blockbuster series. Fans have created perfectly representational cosplay, stunning fanart, and an incredible array of fan games to honor and expand on the original. In the process, every last gem of lore has been mined from this game, especially when it comes to information about the unique and lovable characters....

Judging from the buzz around 2022 dramas like Inventing Anna, The Staircase and The Girl from Plainville, our appetite for true crime series isn’t going anywhere. From grisly murder to exquisite scams, these powerful stories based on real-life events have us hooked. Most of the year’s biggest true crime dramas have so far focussed on tales from the USA, but if you’re looking for unbelievable criminal cases from the UK, there’s plenty of must-watch series depicting some of the country’s most notorious criminal scandals coming later this year and beyond....

The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting game development in myriad significant ways. Full-time developers working from home are just the start of the problem. Contract workers are finding that once-reliable work is no longer available. Take for example Guild Wars 2.

ArenaNet recently confirmed that Episode 3 of The Icebrood Saga will no longer feature voice acting due to the pandemic....

It was 25 years ago that several Hollywood studios indulged in the town’s occasional and curious practice of releasing two movies about the same subject within months of each other, if not weeks. On Feb. 7, 1997, Universal Pictures released Dante’s Peak, in which Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton try to save a small Washington town from being obliterated by a long dormant and suddenly active volcano. Just over two months later, on April 25, 1997, 20th Century Fox delivered Volcano, with Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche leading the efforts to stop a newly formed underground vent from erupting and wiping out all of Los Angeles....
