Why the Health Community Is Taking Gaming Addiction Seriously
The World Health Organization is considering classifying gaming addiction as a mental health condition. GameSpot's Justin Haywald joins Cheddar to discuss whether it's time to take the habit seriously. The managing editor explains the potential symptoms to watch for as evidence of a serious problem.
Then, we take a look back at the biggest gaming stories of the year. Haywald explains why 2017 is regarded as Nintendo's renaissance. From strong Switch sales to two of the year's best-reviewed games, Nintendo's bet on nostalgia paid off.
Haywald also reveals why "Star Wars" wasn't able to match its box-office success in the gaming industry. "Battlefront II" debuted to poor reviews and an increasingly divisive Loot Box scandal. He also reveals the company making the biggest strides in bringing VR to the mainstream.

After over 50 years of record-breaking global tours, it is the end of the road for one of rock and roll's most influential bands, Kiss. The legendary Gene Simmons spoke with Cheddar News to reflect on his career and how Kiss became a staple of American culture.
Lenny Rosenberg and Adaeze Nwanonyiri, owners of Bea's Bakery, joined Cheddar News to show people how to take the creation of gingerbread houses to the next level.
