It’s been announced that Marvel Entertainment and video game publisher Square Enix have joined forces for a massive partnership. The focus of this teaming is to deliver multiple games based on Marvel titles and characters in the coming years.

The first game to be unveiled in this new partnership is a currently untitled project based on The Avengers. The game will be made by Crystal Dynamics, developer of multiple Tomb Raider games including the 2013 reboot and its 2015 sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Eidos Montreal, who are best known for their work making the Deus Ex games.

To announce the game, a brief trailer was released. You can give that a watch below.

At this year’s PAX South, Jerry Holkins and Mike Krahulik, the creators of the popular web comic Penny Arcade, announced a brand new Expo called PAX Unplugged. Unlike the current PAX conventions, which have a large video game focus, PAX Unplugged will concentrate exclusively on tabletop games. “With the rise of popularity of board games, we wanted to provide a dedicated space where fans can come together,” said Holkins. “We will continue to have tabletop games at every PAX, but Unplugged will focus on stepping away from the TV, monitor and phone to foster face-to-face multiplayer experiences.”

In conjunction with ReedPOP, this sixth addition to the current line-up of PAX events will debut this year from November 17th-19th in Philadelphia’s Pennsylvania Convention Center. Read ReedPOP and Penny Arcade’s vision for it here below.

John Hurt, a legend of stage and screen for over 50 years who starred in films like Alien, Harry Potter, V for Vendetta, and Hellboy, and took part in the Doctor Who 50th anniversary special, died today, according to CNN. No cause of death was revealed, but that actor had been battling pancreatic cancer since 2015. He was 77.

Hurt was never shy of dying on screen, holding the record amongst thespians, the veteran with over 200 credits on IMDb had his character killed off an amazing 40+ times. The most famous and maybe greatest on screen death of all time came in Ridley Scott’s sci-fi horror classic Alien (1979) when the title creature burst from Hurt’s chest during breakfast to the shock and horror of the rest of the crew.

Publisher Bethesda Softworks has released a new trailer for Dishonored developer Arkane Studios’ Prey, a first-person shooter RPG in which you attempt to figure out what’s happening on the space station Talos 1, where a dark alien presence has attacked and killed almost everyone else.

The game is a re-imagining of the 2006 original first-person shooter game of the same name developed by Human Head Studios and published by 2K Games. A sequel to the game, simply titled Prey 2, was in the works for a few years before Bethesda eventually pulled the plug and moved on to this reboot.

A brand new cinematic trailer has been released for Mass Effect: Andromeda.

Unlike the cinematic reveal trailer released for N7 Day 2016, which only teased the new game’s villain, this new trailer actually introduces us to who we’ll be dealing with, a delightful being known as Archon.

I think we can all remember our first concert/show, right? If you are an audiophile then I have no doubt you do. Well, KISS: The Demon #1 reminds me of my first show since the headliner was the aforementioned band KISS. Not only were they my first band to see live but, later on, they were the first group I ever went and saw without an adult.

So, to say they hold a special place in my heart is to understate things in an enormous way. The point is, I share that same feeling with the main character of this story, which is a prequel to the ongoing comic.

Last time on The Flash, we saw a bit of Julian’s (Tom Felton) history, which basically explained the Alchemy/Savitar situation with something called the Philosopher’s Stone. Earth-3’s Jay Garrick (John Wesley Shipp) was supportive (almost like a dad), with wise words and a suggestion to get rid of the Philosophers Stone (oh yeah-fixed Julian and “fixed” Savitar), of throwing it in the speed force. Barry (Grant Gustin) accidentally ran 5 months into the future and watched Iris (Candice Patton) die at the hands of Savitar. Barry gave Iris an awesome apartment for Christmas.
