Sure, Delibird isn’t all that interesting, but it is seasonally appropriate – not only does it look pretty much exactly like a Pokemon cosplaying as Santa, but this Delivery Pokemon also gives out presents! But Delibird the gift-giver isn’t the only Pokemon you’ll see more of in

Holiday sales are now ticking away at all the usual places: Steam, Epic, Origin, Ubisoft, Microsoft. And also over at indie storefront Itch.io, which is offering an array of “Holiday Picks” for 2019, and also a bunch of games that just happen to be on sale now. One thing about Itch.io sales is that they generally don’t have the bells and whistles, or basic organization, of those on the bigger sites.

During her 12 years of full-time travel, Dunn worked only as much as she felt she needed to earn an average $30,000 per year, with average annual expenses of $26,000. She says this allowed her to regularly set aside small surpluses into high-interest savings accounts. Dunn talked to Grow about why traveling the world and saving money aren’t mutually exclusive.

World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth’s next update sees the old god N’Zoth getting out of jail, which is presumably a bad thing. The vulpera look like foxes, but also a lot like very furry goblins. In the Vale of Eternal Blossoms, meanwhile, you’ll need to fight N’Zoth’s corruption and experience new Horrific Visions, where you’ll see more of what N’Zoth is planning for the world. Visions of N’Zoth goes live on January 14 in the US and January 15 in Europe, but you’ll need to wait a bit longer

Control, which is officially our game of the year, still has plenty of secrets to uncover according to game director Mikael Kasurinen. We spoke to Mikael to celebrate Control winning our best game of 2019 award, and couldn’t resist asking him what his favourite Easter Egg in the game was.
