GTA Online alien suits are free this week, fuelling the green vs. purple wars
Inviting chaos into GTA Online, Rockstar today started giving away free green and purple alien bodysuits. Over the past few weeks, Los Santos has been invaded by violent aliens. First, gangs of players dressed as green aliens were jumping unsuspecting people with baseball bats and pool cues. Then, gangs of purple aliens started fighting the […]
A pitch video for a new Prince Of Persia leaked years ago, and people only just noticed
A pitch video for Prince Of Persia Redemption has appeared, a hitherto unknown and apparently cancelled entry in Ubisoft’s fantasy stab-o-parkour series. It shows several minutes of mocked-up jumping around, swordfighting, magic, and an impressively vast beastie. What’s weird is that this video has been on YouTube since 2012, barely unnoticed until yesterday. It has […]
Jonathan Frakes probes the fact or fiction of Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds lore
A new Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds in-universe documentary explores the history of a deserted dinosaur theme park with the perfect host: Jonathan Frakes. He’s recently escaped the shadow of playing William T. Riker on the sci-fi show Lexx, finding new fame for saying “Not this time” and “It’s a total fabrication!” in compilation videos of his time […]

Total War: Elysium will have historical leaders and forces throw down, and it all looks […]
Halo 2: Anniversary comes to PC next week
The adventures of Master Chief will continue in Halo 2: Anniversary next Tuesday, May 12th, Microsoft have announced. This time Master Chief (a name I still refuse to believe is real, even as characters say it) and Cortana (a name I still reuse to believe Microsoft reused for their voice-activated searchbot) are joined by a […]
First Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gameplay coming Thursday in Microsoft’s stream
We’ll see Assassin’s Creed Valhalla gameplay and learn about other upcoming games in a Microsoft stream on Thursday. With E3 off and everything topsy-turvy, Microsoft are planning to hold monthly showcase streams in the run-up to the launch of their new Xbox Series X later this year. Which effectively means they’re also hosting monthly streams […]
You can play Sekiro in multiplayer using this new mod
Unlike its Souls siblings, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has no multiplayer. No wrong’uns invading your game to murder you, no friends helping you or hanging out. If you’d like that, good news: a new mod is out, adding multiplayer in both cooperative and antagonistic flavours. It’s an impressive achievement, even if the mod’s creator does […]
