Madden NFL 20 Repeats as August 2019’s Best-Selling Game
Madden NFL 20 is the best-selling game of August 2019, repeating its victory after being the top-selling game in July of this year, while also becoming the seventh yearly Madden entry in a row to top the charts in August.
As reported by the NPD Group, Madden is now the third-best-selling game of 2019, trailing behind Kingdom Hearts III and Mortal Kombat 11. Minecraft, interestingly, had its all-time high placement on the NPD best-sellers chart, coming in as the second-best-selling game for the month of August.
Our Madden NFL 20 review said this year’s entry had some of the best moment-to-moment gameplay in the series. However, our reviewer found other parts like the Franchise mode to be somewhat lacking.

Fire and Blood: Next Game of Thrones Prequel Could Be a Targaryen History
A second Game of Thrones prequel series is reportedly in the works at HBO, according to Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter.
Both outlets are reporting that the new series is close to a pilot order. Written by Colony co-creator Ryan Condal and produced by Condal and A Song of Ice and Fire author George R. R. Martin, the potential prequel is based on Martin's Fire and Blood, a history of the Targaryen dynasty. Set 300 years before the events of Game of Thrones, the series would reportedly focus on the dominance and decline of House Targaryen.
Game of Thrones Prequel Series ‘House of the Dragon’ Coming to HBO
Update 2: The same day we learned HBO opted to not to pick up The Longest Night pilot to series, the network announced at WarnerMedia's HBO Max presentation that a new Game of Thrones spinoff series, a sequel called House of the Dragon, has been ordered straight to series.
This is the Fire and Blood-inspired Game of Thrones prequel we heard about first in September that is focused on the Targaryen dynasty. Co-created by George R.R. Martin and Colony's Ryan Condal and from executive producer and director Miguel Sapochnik (who directed many iconic Game of Thrones episodes including "The Battle of the Bastards" and "The Long Night"), House of the Dragon will air on HBO and HBO Max.
These Are the Most Comfortable Gaming Chairs for Big and Tall Gamers
When you’re compiling a “best of” list of products, it’s always helpful to explain your personal experience with the subject matter. At 6’4” and 250 pounds, I am what you might call a “big guy.” One time, my friends dared me to eat a six patty cheeseburger at Wendy’s, so I ate a seven patty burger and then chased it with a Frosty just to make a point.
I only say this to let you know I am well acquainted with one of the many challenges facing big guys (and girls): finding a comfortable gaming chair that isn’t a couch. Based on my research, here’s the list of the best big and tall gaming chairs for those of us who are tired of sitting on an office chair and feeling like you're sitting on a kindergarten chair.
Super Nintendo World Counters Galaxy’s Edge With Mario Rides and Switch Integration
Universal Parks and Resort chairman and CEO Tom Williams revealed more details about the upcoming Super Nintendo World, which is opening in Universal Studios Japan in 2020. Not only will the park include themed rides and restaurants, but there is also an interactive component and maybe even Nintendo Switch integration with the park.
At a conference interview with Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s Jessica Jean Reif Cohen, Williams gave more details about Super Nintendo World, a new Nintendo-themed attraction similar to Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland parks but based on Nintendo properties. Universal signed the deal with Nintendo back in 2015, and the park is finally going to open next spring.
