Sharknado Franchise to End With Sixth Film
The Sharknado series is coming to an end with the announcement of the sixth and final instalment that ramps things up a notch by adding time-travelling into the mix.
TVLine reports that Sharknado 6, which is yet to get an official title, will follow on from Sharknado 5's riveting plot, that saw the world as we know it come to an end. In the climactic sequel, Fin Shephard (Ian Ziering) will travel back in time to stop the sharknado that put the chain of catastrophic events in motion.
What Did You think of This Week’s Comics?
The old IGN Comics review roundup may be retired, but we still want to make sure readers have a place to come together and discuss their favorite books of the week. Scroll down to check out some of our reviews and opinion pieces from the past week, and then head down to the comments section to get the discussion started.
Written by Scott Snyder | Drawn by Greg Capullo w/ Various Artists
"Dark Nights: Metal has certainly lived up to its name, cramming in all sorts of heavy metal-worthy imagery and crazy situations. That doesn't change one bit in the finale. The downside is that the series continues to be too overstuffed for its own good in its final chapter. As good a job as it does hyping up what's to come for the DCU, it doesn't quite carry the same weight as Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's best Batman stories." -Jesse
Jurassic World Evolution Wants to Show You The Best Dinosaurs You’ve Ever Seen
“We want to make the best dinosaurs you’ve ever seen,” said Jurassic World Evolutions’ Executive producer Rich Theobold, before revealing a ceratosaurus, its thunderous footsteps shaking the room as the devs let it loose into their custom-build park. Its pebbled skin glistens in the sunlight, a John Williams-alike score soars in the background.
It was a very good looking dinosaur, and one of over 30 (at launch) in Evolution, Frontier’s business sim set in the Jurassic Park/World universe where the goal is to build your own park empire. I’ll admit that the dinos were what I was here for; I’m a big series fan but relatively green when it comes to the genre. Fortunately Evolution feels accessible off the bat, and better still, deeply Jurassic Park-esque, an extension of the movie series rather than a sim with the good fortune to have the license.
Jurassic World Evolution Gets Official Digital, Physical Release Date
Frontier Developments' dinosaur park management sim Jurassic World Evolution will be released digitally on June 12 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and physically on July 3 for PS4 and Xbox One.
Although Evolution's release date was accidentally leaked two weeks ago, this is the first we've learned of the physical release date.
Jurassic World Evolution was announced at last year's Gamescom. We recently went hands on with its first hour, and talked to its head of animation for an introduction to the game.
Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered Announced
THQ Nordic has announced a pun-tastic remaster of Red Faction: Guerilla coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One in Q2 2018.
Red Faction: Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered edition features native 4K support, improved lighting and shadow rendering, and fully reworked graphics. Xbox One X support will also be available at launch.
You can take a sneak peek at what all of that amounts to in the gallery below.
Guerrilla is set in 2125, 50 years after the events of Red Faction. The insurgent guerrilla fighters of the newly re-established Red Faction take on the Earth Defense Force to liberate Mars from its oppressive regime.
The original game was released in 2009, and we gave it an 8/10 for both the PC and console version, which didn't have the strongest story and character development, but there was great fun to be had elsewhere, with our reviewer saying, "the addictive thrill of pummeling buildings into tiny bits is something you won't regret experiencing."

Dying Light Adds Location, Mode, Enemy, and More in the Latest Update
Techland's latest update adds a slew of new content to Dying Light, including a Prison Heist mode on Prison Island, and a zombie Easter egg hunt.
Details of the update were posted on Steam and it also brings with it a new enemy called Sgt. Deathrow, and a new seasonal event, the Harran Egg Hunt.
The Prison Heist will ask players to break into the armoury on Prison Island, solo or in co-op, as fast as humanly possible to reap the rewards. The quicker you are, the better the reward.
If you want to pay Sgt. Deathrow a visit, you'll find the Demolisher in Old Town. Described as "bigger, stronger, and more unpredictable" when compared to the previous Demolisher mutations, taking him down will shower you with XP.

Super Mario Odyssey Adds 2 New Costumes
Mario's wardrobe is getting updated again, with a baseball uniform and a somewhat obscure reference to Nintendo's Japanese Super Famicom add-on, the Satellaview outfit.
Satellaview was a satellite modem that allowed players to download games to their console during a specific time slot using the satellite radio service of Nintendo's then-partner, St. GIGA. It was released in Japan in 1995. You can watch Mario floating around in space in the Japanese commercial for it right here.
New special outfits have been added to the post-game shop in #SuperMarioOdyssey: Satellaview Suit & Helmet and Baseball Uniform & Batting Helmet! pic.twitter.com/gNakmxexfY
