Here is your E3 trailer forDead Space 3, showcasing the game’s long-rumored ice planet, alongside plenty of action. The game’s showing at EA’s press conference was sleek and stylish, but the cover-based combat was potentially alarming to any series purists. It’s certainly ramping up the combat this time around.

Please don’t turn me into a marshmallow, your grace. YOU WERE RIGHT AND I WAS WRONG: BRONNis spelled with a double n. It’s been a while since I’ve seen all these names in print! That said, my main point of contention with earlier season 7 episodes continues to problematically rear its head: characters are now moving across this world multiple times in the same episode! As some of you have pointed out, this contrasts so greatly with the sequential timing of the rest of the show that it’s jarring to watch; we’re not used to characters traveling by foot, horse, and wind-powered ships to move from extremity to extremity so quickly....

It’s ratchet and, uh, fleek Ratchet & Clankis backwith a retelling of the original game. And it’s coming out April 12, my birthday, or as some of you may affectionately know it:Dark Souls IIIday. The lovable Captain Qwark has the skinny as unreliable narrator in this new trailer if you can’t remember what happened12 years agowhen the first entry in the series released. The game is going to be accompanied by a feature film on April 29, which I recently learned includes a voice performance by Sly Stallone when I took an ill-advised sojourn to a movie theatre recently and renounced all aspects of humanity, because movie theatres are torture machines that blare the worst advertising in your face for 20 minutes before the picture starts after you’ve paid $12 to get into a building that reeks of popcorn and surreptitious finger-banging in the back row....

Dude’s gotta be bananas In France, a teenager has been busted after using a self-service checkout to buy a PlayStation 4 console for less than a tenner.19-year-old “Adel” picked up the console at a local supermarket and hefted it over to the fruit and veg section, where he weighed the console to bag himself a DIY pricepoint. Recognising the console as a 6lbs bag of fruit, the scales gave Adel a price sticker for €9 (roughly $10 USD) which he then used to scan the PS4 through the store’s self-service checkouts....
