Ghost Giant Announced for PlayStation VR
Ghost Giant a new puzzle adventure game from Fe developer Zoink has been announced for PlayStation VR.
According to a post on the official PlayStation website, in the game you play as the Ghost Giant, a friend and protector of a little boy named Louis. You're only visible to Louis, who lives on a sunflower farm with his mother and is very lonely until he meets you.
Ghost Giant takes place in a town called Sancourt. There you'll be able to explore and discover secrets scattered throughout the town, and help Louis and his neighbors complete various tasks, be it at the farm, local junkyard, or the harbor.
The Many Pale Faces of Halloween’s Michael Myers
When Dr. Sam Loomis first met a six-year-old Michael Myers, he was struck by the boy’s blank, pale, emotionless face, and… the blackest eyes – the Devil’s eyes. And that was before he even put on the mask.
The disturbing appearance of Michael in the original Halloween remains undiminished, despite its simplicity. He wears a dark-blue boiler suit and a modest Halloween mask, which in the fiction of the movie, he steals from a hardware store.
And it really was a Halloween mask, but one depicting William Shatner as Star Trek’s Captain Kirk.
The original Captain Kirk mask that was used as the basis for The Shape's mask.
Jamie Lee Curtis Is “Prepared” for Michael Myers
“How f**king crazy is this?” Jamie Lee Curtis asks us, fully decked out in her Laurie Strode costume and hairstyle, even though she says she’s not even filming anything today. It’s one of the many signs that the production of the new Halloween must be going relatively well. Certainly everyone seems happy to be there.
Jamie Lee Curtis immediately jumps into a story about going in for ballistic training, surprising the local proprietor, and helping him get his merch signed. And when he asked her to shoot a bullet through the cover of his vinyl soundtrack to the original film, you better believe she did it. (And it was her first shot on a bolt action rifle, too.)
But the life of Laurie Strode, her character in the Halloween franchise, isn’t nearly as cheerful. Despite appearing in four of the original Halloween sequels, David Gordon Green’s new film completely rewrites the history of Laurie, and the whole Halloween series. Now, only the first film happened, leaving Laurie - the teenaged survivor of the 1978 Halloween night massacre, perpetrated by the masked killer Michael Myers - in a state of deep, deep trauma which has followed her throughout her entire life.

Everything You Need to Know About Game of Thrones’ Age of Heroes
You're about to hear a lot more about the Age of Heroes, a period predating the events of Game of Thrones by thousands of years.
HBO has ordered a pilot for one of the four Game of Thrones prequels in development, with George R. R. Martin noting that more could be greenlit: "Everything I am told indicates that we could film at least one more pilot, and maybe more than one, in the years to come,” Martin wrote on his blog. “We do have an entire world and tens of thousands of years of history to play with, after all.”
HBO's official logline for the new series reads: "Taking place thousands of years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’s history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend… it’s not the story we think we know."

Spyro Reignited Trilogy’s Box Art Takes a Cue From Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
New box art for the Spyro Reignited Trilogy shows off three distinct locations that pull from the games included in the compilation, much like the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy's box art did did.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy Box Art
The Spyro Reignited Trilogy includes remakes of Spyro the Dragon, Ripto's Rage! and Year of the Dragon, all of which were originally developed by Insomniac Games for the original PlayStation. Enemies from all three games can be found in the art, though one of the most interesting inclusion is of the titular baddie from the second Spiro game, Ripto, who's just to the right of Spyro in the art.
