Dead Island

Dead Island Bloodbath Arena

Deep Silver have announced a special pre-order edition of Dead Island for PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The special edition will of course include the game and offer the ‘Bloodbath’ Arena DLC for free.

Prey 2 details announced

Remember the gravity-defying Native American alien mash-up that was Prey? Well, the teaser trailer was shown at E3 in LA and it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with the original. However it still looks very exciting as we see what appears to be a human bounty hunter capturing one of his prey (aaah, I see what they did there) and having an order to kill another.

Red Faction Armageddon

Red Faction Armageddon and Mr Toots

It seems THQ have gone a bit bonkers when it comes to their upcoming Mars mash-up Red Faction Armageddon. Because over 1 million people downloaded the demo, when you complete the game you’ll now have access to Mr Toots, a playable weapon that’s basically a cuddly unicorn that fires beams of shining light out of its bottom!
