PC Gaming
Once upon a time, choosing when to release your videogame was simple. If you were a major publisher, you put your game on shelves between one and three months before Christmas. If you were a midsize or indie developer, by contrast, you released your game anywhere that wasn’t the holiday season. Anywhere except for summer,…
More quizzes! (Image credit: Larian Studios, PC Gamer) Want to keep testing your knowledge of gaming trivia?

Christmas, it is said, is a time for giving. Unless you happen to live in my house, in which case Christmas is a time for gibbing.

I’m not a big Witcher fan but I am a big movie and TV fan, so I try to keep up to date on all the videogame-related films and TV shows. Several times a week, if not every single day, I scan the news, press releases, and entertainment sites for any info about new game-related…
