Netflix Targets Kids With New Games App Netflix launches Playground, a kids games app with ad-free play, parental controls, and titles from Peppa Pig, Sesame Street, and Dr. Seuss.

I've got young kids who like video games but they're more Astro Bot than Peppa Pig. Even so, I can't fault Netflix for doing 'no adds, no fees' as a way to get kids hooked on druGAMES. On games, everybody.

Resident Evil Requiem Has Its Cake and Eats It Resident Evil Requiem is out now on all major platforms, and attempts to bring the franchise full circle with a return to Racoon City.
