Dealspwn: The Horizon documentary series turns its gaze to the world of videogames this week in an episode called 'Are video games really that bad?'. The most recent (August 2015) reports are discussed, where psychologists claim to have found a link between gaming and aggression/violence. These same arguments are then refuted by other experts. teresting is how games have been studied with the approach that they might actually be beneficial to players of all ages and even how they can improve the cognitive abilities of seniors. It's certainly worth a watch and thankfully provides a balanced approach rather than pegging gamers as psychos just waiting to explode or nerdy basement dwellers waiting to explode.

VGChartz' William D'Angelo writes: "This first chart compares aligned home console sales between the 7th and 8th generations. That is the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii combined sales aligned, versus the combined aligned sales of the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Wii U. The 8th generation has struggled to keep up with the 7th generation - thanks in large part to the poor performance of the Wii U relative to its predecessor - and in August 2015 the gap grew by 1.24 million units. The 7th generation home consoles in their first 22 months sold 58.86 million units, while the 8th generation consoles have sold 46.19 million units. The 7th gen currently leads by a total of 12.67 million units. 7th Generation Total Combined Home Console Sales: 58,858,490 8th Generation Total Combined Home Console Sales: 46,189,096 Total Lead: 12,669,394 7th Generation"

Marcus Estrada writes: "Hello and welcome to our August Kickstarter campaign analysis! The past few months have been absolutely wild in the world of crowdfunding thanks to no shortage of massive campaigns. For the first time in a long while it seems that this month was mostly free of any outrageous projects (no Shenmue 3 or Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night here!). For some, this may be a bit of a disappointment as it takes out some of the mainstream attention, but others may prefer these calmer months. Whatever the case, even free of these sorts of campaigns, we still saw a great batch of games make their way through during August."
