The Haunting of Hill House
Mike Flanagan's adaptation of the Shirley Jackson novel The Haunting of Hill House instantly became one of those must-binge Netflix series, imbibing a dark and deep family drama with outright horror. The show is as much about the ghosts that haunt the Crain family as it is their equally haunting past, smartly skimping on the gore in favor of psychological blood and guts that delve into the adult lives of the family’s children and how their time in the house helped to make them the men and women that they are today. For better or worse.

PSN Name Changes Are Coming, But There Are Some Issues
PlayStation finally made an announcement PS3 and PS4 owners have been waiting for for years — the ability to change PSN names.
Of course, with the announcement of PSN name changes coming for all users early next year, there are some caveats to that experience. To break down what that all means, Beyond host Jonathon Dornbush and Beyond producer Barrett Courtney explore what this huge shift actually means.
Among those lingering questions and issues is that not all games will support the name change adjustment. Only games released after April 1, 2018 are guaranteed to work with the name change, while a selection of other games — to be revealed later — will work with it. PlayStation has also noted very specifically that not all PS4, PS3, and Vita games and applications will work with this process.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Has the Franchise’s Best Launch Sales of This Generation
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the latest in the sprawling series that began in 2007, reportedly holds the best launch sales in the series for this current console generation, beating out launch sales for Origins, Syndicate and Unity.
Announced by Ubisoft, the developer attributes high review scores and positive player feedback for the strong sales. Though no solid numbers were given, we do know that Origins sold twice as fast as Syndicate in a 10-day period following launch. It's unclear if the statistic includes Black Flag, which was released on current generation consoles as well as consoles from the previous generation, and shipped over 10 million units within two months.
