That could very well be the ultimate lesson from Riverdale as a whole. Much like Netflix Glut, overlong network television seasons tend to do more harm than good to a series.

While Tarantino hasn’t done any work for the small screen since a 2005 CSI outing, our era of prestige television has his stylish fingerprints all over it – be it the skillful panache of Russian Doll or, well, the valentine to his work that is tonight’s episode of Riverdale....

If you were lucky enough to play P.T. (aka Playable Teaser), the preview for Hideo Kojima’s cancelled Silent Hills project, then count yourself lucky. After all, Konami removed it from the PlayStation Store back in 2015 amidst then-rumours of Kojima-san’s departure from the studios, and won’t be adding it back. Like, ever. Fortunately, a 17-year-old fan known as Qimsar has decided to cobble together a remake of the chilling, pant-wetting horror demo on PC for all to play, and has recently released the Alpha build of the project....

Realm Royale - the game where you turn into a chicken when you die - has lost almost all its players since its launch in June. Oh, dang. All too often, clinical corporate PowerPoint presentations (with line graphs) are the measure of all success in life. Is your line pointing upwards? Good job, you’re a winner. Is it pointing downwards? Sorry, you lose. Realm Royale’s graph is most certainly pointing way, way down....
