Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, the classic story of a time travelling pensioner who sees dead people, is a festive fairytale which has itself become part of Christmas folklore. In terms of favourite Christmas tales, Rudolph and Frosty may wrap up the children’s vote, but for most people, it’s Dickens’ seminal work which would get the nod. The story was written by Dickens in order to tackle the relatively new issue of urban poverty, and in particular the growing underclass of impoverished townsfolk produced by the Industrial Revolution....

Persona 5 is known for having a great soundtrack, and a group of musicians lead by YouTuber Charlie Ritz created a groovy funk cover of one of the standout tracks in the game, “Life Will Change.” This song is part of a new charity album called Cry of the Planet with all proceeds going towards the Minnesota Freedom Fund. The Phantom Thieves would be proud. The Cry of the Planet album from GameGrooves comprises of 21 tracks from 36 artists around the world, in support of the Black Lives Matter movement....

The reveal of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide was a pleasant surprise for fans of the franchise, especially as developer Fatshark has done an excellent job on Warhammer: Vermintide 2. From the little information that has been made available, it appears that Darktide will be similar in style to Vermintide 2 in terms of a class-based system at its core, likely with careers to progress. Set on Atoma Prime, four players will battle cooperatively against what appear to be Chaos-corrupted enemies, either in small, elite groups, as hordes of charging masses, and at the worst of times, with both....

Thanks to the magic of streaming entertainment, A.P. Bio got a second lease on life. After spending two funny, yet ratings challenged years on NBC, the sitcom was canceled. Then Comcast announced the creation of an all-encompassing NBCUniversal streaming service called Peacock. And that colorful bird was hungry for content, leading to the renewal of A.P. Bio for a third season. Now A.P. Bio season 3 is set to premiere its eight episodes on Peacock on Sept....

Ubisoft continues to play an indirectly dangerous game with its fans over one of its most iconic franchises. That’s exaggerating a bit, but to be fair, it’s been almost seven years since a proper mainline Splinter Cell game has released. Not to mention it’s been even longer since a true-to-form stealth simulation game like the earlier Splinter Cell titles in the series has come out. And yet, the discussion of a new game in the franchise continues to get louder every year....

Tabletop roleplaying game accessory crafter Steam Forged Games recently added two new miniature sets to its Epic Encounters product line: Lair of the Red Dragon, and Shrine of the Kobold Queen. Both sets are currently available for preorder on the SFG webstore, with shipping scheduled to launch October 12, 2020. SFG’s Epic Encounters product line is more than a set of finely-crafted miniatures to help make your tabletop RPG encounters more epic....

It was revealed during Nintendo’s indie showcase earlier today that Aerial Knights: Never Yield will be coming to Switch next month. Aerial Knights: Never Yield is a 3D sidescrolling game that aims to deliver a modern take on the classic endless runner. You play as Wally who has recovered something vital to expose the truth behind the city he lives in. Aerial Knights has players running across a number of different environments escaping from Wally’s enemies that are eager to hunt him down and retrieve what was stolen....

While Battlefield 3 might feature some of the classes that multiplayer gamers have come to know and love, the team at DICE thought to throw in a few changes this time around to make things a bit more interesting. Sure, some of the signature elements featured in each of the classes from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 are in Battlefield 3, but each has been given a significantly larger amount of skills and ways in which to assist the team....

Our quick take Alternatives to consider Nest Hub Max Read our full Google Nest Hub review Read our Echo Show 10 full review It looks great Dimensions: 402 x 252 x 35mm / Weight: 2215g Wall-mounting kit supplied in the box Picture frame design Let’s talk about sound 2x 1.6in speakers 15.6-inch touchscreen 1920 x 1080 resolution Camera and Visual ID 5-megapixel camera Visual ID Give it up for Stickies To recap The biggest Echo Show to date makes it easy to get Alexa’s functions onto the wall and off your worktop - but the sound quality is surprisingly weak, and while the big display gives more space to play, it’s not very well utilised, widgets can’t be resized, and the Visual ID customisations often just duplicate what you’ve already got....

In the past few months, no video game character has been as loved and hated as Tom Nook from Nintendo’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons. This brown raccoon character that inhabits every player’s island along with his nephews Timmy and Tommy, is the reason why players have to pay excessive house loans. Although many players are understandably frustrated with Tom Nook’s shenanigans, it might be that deep down, he’s just a humble businessman wanting to create a cool island community....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons released earlier this year and quickly became a massive hit, not only with long-time fans of the franchise but also bringing in a whole new audience who found themselves drawn to the idyllic game in these trying times. This latest installment is undoubtedly the best game in the series so far, offering players new types of gameplay and a plethora of new customization options. One of the fan-favorite features of the games is that different villagers move into your town, with players falling in love with some of the characters while wishing that certain others would move out....

Animal Crossing: New Horizons will be turning one in two months’ time, and as that date draws closer the folks at Nintendo will no doubt be reminiscing over all that the game has achieved in that short time. One recent Animal Crossing accolade is that this latest instalment in the ultra-cute life simulator series was the most tweeted-about video game of them all, in 2020. It even beat other games like Fortnite and Cyberpunk 2077 (which didn’t even feature in the top ten most tweeted-about games of the year)....

In Anthem, the endgame is all about loot. First comes kitting out a Javelin in purple Epic-Quality items. Then comes jumping the divide from purples to orange Masterwork-quality and yellow Legendary-quality gear. For now, putting together a squad of capable friends and burning through Strongholds and Freeplay world events may be the most profitable and efficient farming method. But sometimes a less stressful alternative is preferred, in which case chest farming is a perfect choice....

Season 5 of Apex Legends will feature a brand new “Season Quest,” but just what is it? On May 12, Respawn’s battle royale game will receive its fifth season by introducing a brand new legend named Loba, a talented thief on the hunt for whoever killed her parents. We’ll also be treated to a brand new Battle Pass as well as something completely new: a Seasonal Quest. “Hunt for treasure and answers in the new Season Quest,” reads the Season 5 website for Apex Legends....

Season 4 of Apex Legends has been extended by a week and as a result, Season 5 has been delayed. Respawn Entertainment’s Design Director, Jason McCord, revealed the information in a blog post. He says the Season 4 extension will allow players time to grind a little more. While Respawn has kept information regarding Season 5 to a minimum, a potential Dev Tracker leak revealed the title could be “Fortune’s Favor,” and it may offer some unique changes....

In anticipation for the upcoming Assassin’s Creed movie, Kernel is offering movie-goers a series of pre-order ticket packages that range from $15 to a whopping $1,200. The absence of a new Assassin’s Creed video game in 2016 means that fans of the franchise will have only the upcoming movie adaptation to look forward to. Despite a while to go before the film’s December release date, movie media site Kernel has launched a series of pre-order ticket packages for the upcoming movie....

Gamers love a good villain and King Aelfred makes for a very complex and vicious foe in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. In history, we know that Aelfred was largely credited for driving back the Vikings after their early invasion, so it’s not a surprise that Eivor loses the battle of forces and wits to this conniving antagonist. Still, that doesn’t make the tension with him any less palpable. Players will get a chance to square off with him in Wincestre....
