Doctor Who prop auction sells off screen-used Dalek and TARDIS

Doctor Who may be on a break until the Christmas special in December — with the last episode airing way back in May 2025 — but there is something interesting happening with the franchise. A massive auction of props and costumes from the series just ended, which saw everything from a screen-used TARDIS and a number of sonic screwdrivers to a full Dalek up for grabs. And while these auctions commanded some serious money from fans, one item in particular went for surprisingly little. source https://www.polygon.com/doctor-who-dalek-tardis-prop-auction/

Yakuza Kiwami 3 interactive maps

Kiryu might know the streets and alleys of Kamurocho in Yakuza Kiwami 3 like few others, but that doesn't mean you do too. The winding maze of shops, side streets, parks, and entertainment centers is overwhelming initially (and often for a while after that) if only because it's all so crammed with stuff . Side stories, locker keys, weapon stores, pools, baseball cages, briefcases, casinos — it's a lot to keep track of. And then you've got Downtown Ryukyu and the (admittedly much smaller) Morning Glory Orphanage to learn the layout of as well. Even if you're familiar with the original Yakuza 3 , Ryu Ga Gotoku's remake includes fresh additions for side modes like Bad Boy Dragon. source https://www.polygon.com/map/yakuza-kiwami-3-interactive-map-kamurocho-downtown-ryukyu-orphanage/

The Witch remains an A24 horror peak 10 years after its release

It’s a familiar story in the horror world: A small studio makes its name on genre films, then expands its reach with a more ambitious slate of movies, often courting year-end awards rather than the Fangoria crowd. Think of the 20-year journey between New Line Cinema releasing the first Nightmare on Elm Street movie in 1984 and winning Best Picture for its trilogy-capping Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King . source https://www.polygon.com/the-witch-a24-horror-at-10/

Fishbowl is a radically optimistic Covid fever dream

As Alo feels isolated from her loved ones and grieves her recently-deceased grandmother, players will help her find solace over the course of a month through self-care, unpacking her past, and a bit of magical realism in the form of a wind-up fish toy. Polygon spoke with Rhea Gupte and Prateek Saxena, the two-person development team at imissmyfriends.studio, after playing through a new demo that encompasses Alo’s first three in-game days. The updated demo is available now, with the final game slated for release this April for PlayStation consoles and Steam. source https://www.polygon.com/fishbowl-interview-rhea-gupte-prateek-saxena/
