A lot has gone on this week in video games. Here is a recap of what we covered in the world of #videogames on the site this week

We can finally rest now that the week is over and all of those video games have made their way out to us in different ways. Many titles like #Dispatch, #HELLMART, and #The9thCharnel had their releases this week. We also had a whole lot to look at for #HighOnLife2 with the developers getting us ready for that launch. Then there were a whole lot of trailers for video games and films based on some of them in the mix too. Just like many of the other weeks we have had. The cycle will continue, even though we are putting a pin in the week. Almost as if we are in a game loop too…

That marks yet another week down, and there were so many indie video games this week. Not a terrible thing, but an interesting thing to take note of, since they generally do not get the highlight out there. Especially when titles like #Fable and #LifeIsStrange: Reunion had some massive news drop out there. Thankfully, they did not overshadow video games like #TheRun and #Annulus as they were brought into the forefront of the lists out there. Without the smaller titles, we can never expect to have good titles that are not just remakes or remasters of older titles. Those AAA developers do seem to keep pumping those out instead of trying to innovate the industry, sadly.

Well, the week has come to an end once more, and we had some fun with the various video games and films we had announced there. Some big ones like #RERequiem and #PoppyPlaytime had some highlights. Then we had a whole lot of smaller titles in the mix with #Styx: Blades Of Greed, all to wrap with a good look at the upcoming film #TheMortuaryAssistant. Even if it was a shorter one around here, but that is on us and not the various video games out there that had something to add. I mean, some of these even popped off before the week even started, so the blame is definitely on this side of the screen.

The world of video games never ceases to amaze me out there, as this week was a lot more packed than expected for a #CES week. Not only did we get a lot to check out during the convention, but we also managed to get solid updates out to you all week. Some, like, #Styx: Blades Of Greed gameplay, #DeadByDaylight and #StrangerThings kicking off the crossover, #RERequiem getting some fun new visuals, and the fact that we will be able to play Xbox video games without the need of an Xbox soon. Yeah, that one is a bit of a wild ride to think about, and we have all of that here on the site for you.

It has been a week here with the year ending and then starting back up, so we have more video games to play out there. Granted, it was a little on the lighter side as many of the teams and studios were out there celebrating, but we did have quite a few things to bring up. I mean, we saw #StrangerThings come to an end, but still live on in #DeadByDaylight, along with when we will be able to play #Styx: Blades Of Greed in this new year. A little more for #SAROS, and then a few indie games that will lead us into #CES next week. Yes, the tech convention snuck up on all of us again, and that little hype train has pulled out of the station too, even if they do not usually highlight many specific video games and more of the hardware to play them on.

Just as we were expecting, this was certainly a full week of video games. Some of it is catching up from all of the big announcements we did have, while also offering up some other games that were left out of #TheGameAwards, as they would not drive money to the show. Titles like Clive Barker’s #HellraiserRevival and #Painkiller, even if others like #Divinity and #WARLOCK hit on the harsher themes and mature content in the same ways. It is kind of why you still need some of the mavericks like us out there covering the various video games that are not going to be big news for the “mainstream.” Gods, I hate that we are in this timeline of things where that needs to be the case.

The week has finally dragged itself over the finish line here, and we did end with a rather solid bit for all of our video games. #TheGameAwards usually does that since the powers that be helped to kill any of the usual conferences we used to have for their own glorification. Ignoring that, we did have a big update for #RERequiem, #ShesLeaving, and #InvincibleVS out there. Along with many other video games that were not as big as the others, but still worth the time and effort from all of us. Just because they do not have all of the power behind them as the AAA, does not mean we should not give them all a highlight. Then, maybe we can all stop complaining about getting the same thing over and over.
