They’re shooting at specters and skeletons. For Halloween, Gearbox is throwing a free Bloody Harvest event inBorderlands 3.

While mobile adaptations can be a bit of a hit-or-miss situation,Call of Duty: Mobileisn’t just yet another nostalgia cash grab. The core of the original game is still intact, while the leveling path and acquiring new unlockables is refreshingly rewarding. Another feature I love is customization....

The theme is the “forging” of a new hero, quite literally through the fashioning of armor and weapons in the point of view of a blacksmith. It doesn’t get a whole lot more exciting than that, but as time passes we’re inching closer and closer toDark Souls II‘s launch date....

Prepare to die, now with more friends! For those who were worried that “improved accessibility” was one of the main goals that the new directors ofDark Souls IIhad for the game, don’t be.
