There is a moment near the end of Prime Video’s new Christmas movie Candy Cane Lane that will now be seared into my brain every time I look at Christmas tree decorations. Evil elf Pepper (Jillian Bell) pulls a spherical glass ornament out of her pocket and takes a big chomp out of it like it’s an apple. There’s this chilling crunch noise as she continues to chew, the exact opposite of a soothing ASMR effect.

The voice actor behind GTA 5 protagonist Michael De Santa has reportedly been swatted while trying to stream GTA Online. 

Grand Theft Auto 5 actor Ned Luke, who fans will know as the voice behind protagonist Michael De Santa, appears to have been swatted during a recent livestream, though no law enforcement was seen in the stream itself. Luke regulalrly streams himself playing through GTA 5 and GTA Online on his personal YouTube Channel, as one of his more recent streams had to be cut short due to a swatting attempt.

Lethal Company - the game in which you exit a dropship, enter an abandoned factory, pick up exactly one (1) piece of salvage, and are immediately eaten by something made entirely of teeth - is getting a VR mod. Created by DaXcess and rodabafilms, it will surely only make life more oppressive for people deserted by their co-op buddies and left to fend off giant spiders with a shovel, not that I'd know what that's like.

I've been wading through all the Black Friday deals guides, and have picked out the very best stocking fillers for under $50. Why? Because I feel your pain.

Christmas horror movies provide the perfect antidote to all the candy-coated festivities of the holiday season and there have been quite a few good ones in the past. We’ve had David Harbour as an axe-wielding Santa in Violent Night, Anna and the Apocalypse brought us a zombie Christmas musical, and who could forget the daddy of them all, Gremlins.

As the weather turns cold, the days shorten, and the smell of pumpkin spice fills your nostrils you know what time it is. That’s right, the holiday season is upon us. And with Black Friday just around the corner, the shopping season is here as well. And since everyone knows board games make the best gifts (we looked it up, it’s a scientifically proven fact), you might be wondering where to start.

Fashion brands enter this Black Friday seeing green not just because of sales but because they're offering more sustainable products than ever before. From carbon-neutral T-shirts to sustainable shoes and eco-friendly hats, Santa will have his hands full keeping up with the more than $41 billion in projected online apparel sales — the top-selling category. Yet one factor may undermine the industry's otherwise noble march toward sustainability and place fashion brands on Old St. Nick's naughty list: product returns.

Shawn Fonteno, the actor who played Franklin in GTA 5, has seemingly teased - and then very quickly deleted - a cryptic GTA 6 tease.

The first teaser trailer for Terrifier 3 has arrived – and it's just as gruesome as we thought.

The winter holiday season seems to start earlier and earlier every year. The moment Halloween is over, holly springs up, lights adorn houses, and Mariah Carey belts loudly for all to hear! And, of course, the Christmas specials come rolling out.

Ned Luke, the voice actor who plays Michael De Santa in, has dropped hints that suggest his character will make an appearance in . Little is known so far about the next, which is expected to have its first trailer in December 2023. However, leaks and wild rumors about have been mounting for a decade. Very few of them are verifiable, but the few reliable leaks do provide an idea of what to expect. Ned Luke's response is too cryptic to be called a leak, but as an actor who's actually worked on the series, he's certainly a reliable source.

Christmas season is in full swing, and with it comes the annual feast of all things yuletide-themed and appropriately festive on streaming. Christmas is a holiday that’s inspired a wealth of enduring comedies about the value of family, community, love, and selflessness during the darkest and coldest time of the year. It’s also spawned no shortage of films that push at the boundaries of those well-worn tropes, twisting their holly-jolly exterior into cerebral and occasionally macabre stories that probe at the very darkness the holiday is meant to fend off.

In another life, I'm a food critic. Tasting dishes from different cultures is undoubtedly my greatest passion next to video games, and so I ask that you forgive me before I go on way too long about the wonderfully rendered traditional Mexican cooking in the upcoming Metroidvania Mariachi Legends.

According to a report from Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, Rockstar will finally announce GTA 6 this week with a trailer to follow next month. Since all we've had for the past couple of years are leaks, details are scarce, but fans are eager to find out if any past characters will return. So, one fan took to Twitter and asked Ned Luke directly if Michael would make an appearance.

Country superstar Chris Stapleton's fifth studio album and a documentary about Albert Brooks that includes Steven Spielberg, David Letterman, Ben Stiller, Larry David, Chris Rock and Wanda Sykes are some of the new television, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.

A developer has claimed that it is unable to release its upcoming game on Nintendo and Xbox platforms because the companies won’t allow it.

These are the This guide provides players with all five of the answers to the TikTok quiz. While it doesn’t actually matter whether you get the answers right or wrong, as you still get the two-card reward, some players want to get them all right. Here are all of the questions and answers for November 3, 2023.

One of the best features of the series is its painstaking efforts to bring real-world locations to life, and a direct comparison can help showcase just how well the games pull this off. Things aren't always entirely one-for-one, as landmarks in-game might need some slight tweaks like additional handholds for an Assassin to grab when climbing, but the overall likenesses are often astonishing. Unfortunately, it isn't exactly easy to get up and visit every location for the sake of the perfect side-by-side.

In a Jack Skellington fashion, Art The Clown is ditching Halloween for a bit of festive fun, as the newest poster for Terrifier 3 confirms the third installment will be a Christmas movie. 

Disney+ moves out of spooky season with the last few episodes of Goosebumps as well as the conclusion of Loki, but there's plenty of new stuff to watch this month. The latest Spider-Man movie is here, plus cartoons, documentaries, and more. Here are our picks for the best new content streaming on Disney+ this month.

Poncle has unveiled the latest update for the seminal auto-aggro game Vampire Survivors for the holiday season. It’s the Whiteout update, also known as update 1.7.0, a festive little addition that will get you into the holiday spirit if you haven’t accepted it into your heart already.

Exoprimal season 2 has begun, and Capcom is loading the season with new content, including a new map and PvE mission, and a special Street Fighter 6 collaboration. 

Vampire Survivors is the gift that keeps on giving, dropping a local multiplayer mode, flashy new engine and a whole bunch of other free stuff on top of a game that is already more than well worth its modest price tag. In the case of the screen-filling slay-’em-up’s next big update, it’s now a Christmas gift that keeps on giving, with a Santa’s sack worth of winter-inspired additions on the way. Oh, and it all arrives tomorrow. That’s nice.

Picture this: You’re in a small European village, there’s an ominous church, and you don’t quite know where to go. This could be the setup for countless Italian horror films. It’s also where we find our protagonist at the beginning of the Saturnalia demo, which went live as part of Steam Next Fest. The demo sets you free to complete simple objectives that eventually open up into a larger, interwoven mystery. It’s all vaguely interesting from the start, but it’s the off-kilter sketchbook visuals that make me want to explore further.

More than a decade after Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas debuted in movie theaters, Street Fighter and Mega Man publisher Capcom pulled off something impressive: It made a direct sequel to the movie, with Burton’s blessing.

Steam's Next Fest has returned for another week-long showcase of future releases, including developer livestreams, chats, and, of course, «hundreds» of playable demos.

Grand Theft Auto fans are waiting for Rockstar Games to unveil the next mainline installment finally. It’s been ages since we had a brand new installment for the franchise. In fact, we already surpassed the ten-year anniversary of Grand Theft Auto V. Remember, this game initially launched on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 console platforms. So it’s clear that fans are ready for a new thrilling installment. Unfortunately, there is very little to go by officially and a bit more insight into what’s coming, thanks to a series of leaks. 

GTA 6 exists in a weird limbo state right now. We all know it’s coming. We have some idea that it’s set in Vice City. But official news from Rockstar regarding the new sandbox game is yet to arrive. As Grand Theft Auto 5 passes its ten-year anniversary (feel old yet?) the GTA 6 release date could be soon, could be not so soon. Nevertheless, when we finally pack our bags, leave Los Santos, and touch down in Grand Theft Auto 6, it’s going to be huge. Even GTA 5 Michael actor Ned Luke thinks so. The voice behind one of the most famous characters in gaming, Luke is nevertheless confident that GTA 6 will crush Grand Theft Auto 5.

There is no shortage of rumors and speculation pieces surfacing online for the next major installment of the Grand Theft Auto franchise. We’ve waited a good while for the next iteration since Grand Theft Auto V launched nearly a decade ago at this point. The last installment was such a massive hit that it left players in awe of all the details, storyline, and activities that Rockstar Games put into the title. But with the immense amount of success Rockstar Games had with Grand Theft Auto Online, the development for Grand Theft Auto 6 was likely pushed a bit further back than what was likely planned.

Even cursed years such as 2020 can occasionally hide small nuggets of greatness. One such nugget was the curious visual novel Milky Way Prince, which beautifully mixed surreal 2D images with even more surreal 3D backgrounds, all wrapped up in a toxic love story. Just when you thought a visual novel couldn’t get any more stylish, developer Lorenzo “Eyeguys” Redaelli comes back to one-up themself with Mediterranea Inferno, a rare game that makes you want to gobble its colours up with your eyeballs. Oh, and it’s out right now.

Mediterranea Inferno, the «mature and treacherous» summer adventure from Lorenzo Redaelli, the creator of The Milky Way Prince — Vampire star, is coming to Steam on 24th August.

In what may be a portent of things to come in Grand Theft Auto 6, Rockstar Games has acquired Cfx.re, the maker of the FiveM  and RedM multiplayer customization mods for Grand Theft Auto 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2.

Vampire Survivors seems to be getting a new director’s cut version. Twitter user Laura Kate Dale shared a screenshot that seems to be the title screen for Vampire Survivors Director’s Cut. According to Dale, players were selected at an event for the game’s upcoming co-op mode to try out the director’s cut for 20 minutes.

Classic B-movie horror game Betrayal at House on the Hill is getting a wild, holiday-themed expansion this fall. Wynter’s Tale, unveiled Thursday from the floor of the annual Gen Con tabletop gaming convention, reinvents Santa Claus as a jolly, murderous old elf with five thematic haunts, new miniatures, and more.

It's come to light that Vampire Survivors has a special edition with different content. 

A "Director's Cut" of Vampire Survivors reportedly exist, boasting "drastically different" stuff from the base game, but it might never release.

Vampire Survivors' snazzy new engine upgrade is coming this month, but developers Poncle seem to be cooking up something even more exciting for their dopamine-fuel bullet heaven shooter. Vampire Survivors: Directer’s Cut is supposedly a major overhaul to the smash hit roguelike, although it unfortunately “may or may not” ever be released.

Vampire Survivors is the only roguelike game I keep coming back to, pouring hundreds of hours of gameplay into it while working to 100% its extensive list of achievements. When the co-op mode was recently announced, I was excited to one day experience the bullet-hell chaos Vampire Survivors thrusts you into with friends. Poncle has proven to be one of the most ground-breaking indie developers around, updating the game constantly and releasing content-packed DLCs. It seems the team could have even more Vampire Survivors up its sleeve, but we may never get to personally experience it.

A special edition of Vampire Survivors called the ‘Directer’s Cut’ has emerged from a new report.

It appears there is a director's cut of Vampire Survivors featuring ten new characters and 300 chickens.

The Super Animal Royale is an indie battle royale game in which you can choose to play as one of the many animal-like creatures. The main goal of each match is to come out as the top winner. Unlike many more traditional battle royale titles, Super Animal Royale has you playing from a top-down level, and you’ll be able to see other enemies coming for you during the game. You have to manage to survive against other players and become the last person standing out of 64 other contenders. There are a handful of codes that you can use to add more cosmetics to your game, increasing the experience and make your character stand out from the others that you drop into the game.

There’s another Pokémon Squishmallow joining the round lineup: Pikachu with a Santa hat. The holiday variation on Pikachu appeared on Target’s website on Tuesday, slated for release on Nov. 5. Shortly after, Squishmallows confirmed the new addition with a tweet. So far, holiday Pikachu is available only in a 14-inch variation for $24.99. The plush toy is the same Pikachu as the original Squishmallow, save for the fluffy red hat with white trim.
