The Trespasser DLC of BioWare’s Dragon Age: Inquisition represented the conclusion of the saga-length game. This brilliantly narrated epilogue to DAI:I was weighted down with more combat than I prefer, but it all added up to a climax that served as a new summit for the entire series; a moment that felt like the culmination of all the adventures Dragon Age spawned since late 2009.
On Monday afternoon at GDC, BioWare lead writer Patrick Weekes and narrative presentation lead John Epler gave a tag-team presentation about their work as writers on thi…

Amazon’s Black Friday 2024 sale kicks off November 21 and runs through November 29. As usual, thousands of items across the entire site will be discounted once the week-long event is live, but there are already a bunch of early deals to take advantage of, including price cuts to numerous Amazon devices like Amazon Fire tablets, TVs, soundbars, and more.

The foundational elements of a Lego game have remained largely unchanged for 20+ years: Smash everything into bricks and studs, collect characters by the dozens, then use those characters to jump back into levels to solve puzzles that were previously gated off. Lego Horizon Adventures has a little bit of that DNA, and moving back to a fixed camera like the pre-Skywalker Saga games makes it look like a classic Lego game of yesteryear, but after playing 30 minutes in single-player and co-op, I came away thinking of it as the most cinematic Lego game to date. Rather than intensely focus on smashing and collecting things, it’s putting the focus on Guerrilla’s story–and putting that story through a kid-friendly filter.
“We were determined to make a Lego game unlike…

During San Diego Comic-Con, Showtime shocked fans and announced a new Dexter TV show that brings back Michael C. Hall. Dexter: Resurrection, as it’s called, is the next series from the franchise, which takes place in the present day.
The 2021 spin-off Dexter: New Blood ended with Dexter lying dead in the freezing cold snow. But Dexter didn’t actually die, it seems.
“I don’t know what I am authorized to say other than, it’s really cold out there,” Hall told Variety. Whereas the original Dexter series was set in Miami, New Blood took the series to a much-colder climate. The setting and story for Resurrection is unknown for now.
Creator and showrunner Clyde Phillips previously confirmed that “Dexter is dead” after the events of New Blood, but in Hollywood, anything is pos…
If you missed out on Lego Atari 2600 deal earlier this month at Amazon and Target, you now have another chance to save big on this awesome retro gaming building set. Walmart has slashed the price of the 2,532-piece Atari 2600 Lego Icons Set to $150 (was $240). It’s not quite as good of a deal–it was briefly available for $135 at Amazon–but this is still likely to sell out pretty fast.
This is a great set for experienced builders. Once you’ve assembled it, you’ll have a replica console with functioning switches, a brick-built Atari joystick designed to move like the original controller, and even several cartridges to display.
It’s worth pointing out that this is an Atari console in looks only, but the other retro surprise includes a hidden gaming room straight out of the ‘8…
