MLB The Show 19: Check Out 47 Minutes of New Gameplay Footage
If you're a baseball fan, you no doubt know and (probably) love MLB The Show. The annual hardball sim has been the hardcore baseball fan's only hope for a realistic video game take on America's pastime for years now. For MLB The Show 19, developer Sony San Diego has added a couple of new modes, including March to October, shown in the unedited 47-minute gameplay video above.
In it, I play while game designer Ramone Russell walks me through the ins and outs of the mode, which utilizes the concept of momentum combined with respect for a busy gamer's time to have you playing key games at key moments (read: you might jump into the game in the sixth inning) throughout the season in an effort to push to the playoffs. Die-hard baseball fans, this video is for you!

Game of Thrones Season 8: New Trailer Released
HBO has released a new trailer for Game of Thrones' climactic Season 8.
As you might expect, it's a fairly sombre, stirring affair, bringing along (dragon-filled) new clips that offer ominous warnings about the war to come.
Naturally, we don't know a great amount of detail about the upcoming season, although we do know it will contain "the longest consecutive battle sequence ever committed to film," which will take place in Winterfell over the course of one episode.
The trailer begins with a terrified Arya, bloodied and running from an unknown enemy through the halls of Winterfell, which seems to imply that the White Walkers have breached the Starks' ancestral home. Given everything that Arya has been through since the series began, it's a little worrying to see her so panicked (ditto Varys, who looks decidedly freaked out, huddled in the crypts of Winterfell with what looks like a bunch of women and children), but that's also just confirmation that everyone is taking the considerable threat of the Night King seriously.
HyperX Gaming Headsets, Keyboards, and More On Sale Today Only
If you buy something through this post, IGN may get a share of the sale. For more, read our Terms of Use.
HyperX has a long history of releasing quality PC peripherals, and right now at Amazon, many of the highest-rated gaming headsets, keyboards, and more, are marked down. I have a HyperX Cloud II gaming headset, (which unfortunately isn't on sale), and I love it. I got it to replace a HyperX Cloud headset I broke, and I'm pretty sure if I hadn't been negligent, I'd still be rocking my original pair from years ago.
This is an Amazon "Deal of the Day," so these prices are only good until midnight Eastern Time.

Former Head of Sonic Team Reacts to Alleged Movie Leak
Update 3/5: Former head of Sonic Team and lead programmer of 1991’s Sonic the Hedgehog Yuji Naka has commented on the alleged leaked images of the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog film, and he appears to be less than impressed.
Naka reacted to the images on Twitter, and said (via translation) "When the unofficial image of the Sonic movie comes out, I think that it is leaking strategically, but it is not good because it will go to the IP of Sonic
when it becomes a topic in a bad direction.”
He also noted that it’s strange Sonic’s hands are made of white fur, saying "It is shocking that his bare hands are white.” In a separate tweet, he noted that it’s important for designers to look at Sonic’s body as a whole, and that these alleged images could use some more balance.
Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn Being 3DS Exclusive Is a Mistake
The original Kirby’s Epic Yarn was a blast when it came out on the Wii in 2010, and its new Extra rerelease has brought along some neat new modes and additions worth seeing. But what those updates don’t include is a clear reason why Extra Epic Yarn isn’t also coming to Switch. As much as it pains me to write this, Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn is a great game trapped on an outdated system.
This is a port of a nine-year-old console game arriving on an eight-year-old mobile platform. Kirby has shown up to a party that everyone has already left, standing around wondering who inhaled all the Maxim Tomatoes.
I've been playing Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn and, despite still being fun, the 3DS port has a few key missteps:
