Stranger Things Come to Life for the Cast
It's not surprising that a lot of strange things happen in Stranger Things, but what if they actually happened to the cast in real life?
At last week's premiere of the new Netflix supernatural series, the young cast, along with the series creators, the Duffer Brothers, were brought into a special room for what they thought was an interview - where some very unexpected events occurred. Check out the video below to see what happened when Stranger Things became reality.
For more on Stranger Things, which just debuted its eight-episode season this past weekend, check out IGN's full review.
Next Star Wars: The Old Republic Expansion Revealed
The next expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic will be Knights of the Eternal Throne, and it'll be heading your way later this year.
There's not a great deal of information about the expansion yet, other than it will be coming "Fall 2016." On the official website, you can sign up to be the first to learn about any new updates.
This year will mark The Old Republic's fifth anniversary, and Bioware has released an infographic giving us some information on how people have been playing the game.
So far there have been 87 million characters created, and players have spent over 1.5 billion hours in the game. The most recruited companions are Lana Beniko and Vette, and 53 percent of people chose to channel the light side rather than embrace the dark.
Xbox One S Release Date Revealed
Microsoft has revealed the $399 2TB version of the Xbox One S will be hitting shelves on August 2.
The company also confirmed if you've pre-ordered one, you'll be getting it on release day. If you want one of the new slim consoles, you can still pre-order from Microsoft's store, although Microsoft claims availability is limited so if you want one, you might want to be quick.
It's worth noting the Xbox One S won't launch everywhere on that date, and will only be available in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, UK and United States. Other territories will get the console later in the year.
Dead Rising Possibly Coming to PlayStation 4
A collection of trophies have appeared online for the original Dead Rising, which point to a possible PlayStation 4 release.
There are a few dozen Dead Rising Trophies listed on the Exophase website under the PS4 listing. There hasn't been any official word on a remaster yet, but we'll be sure to update you once we hear something.
The original Dead Rising came out on Xbox 360 in 2006. It never made it to PlayStation, and nor did the third game in the franchise, but Dead Rising 2 did come to Sony's platform.
At E3 this year, Capcom and Microsoft unveiled Dead Rising 4, which will be a timed-exclusive for Xbox One and PC.
Mankind Divided Fixes A Big Deus Ex Problem
As great as Deus Ex: Human Revolution was, it was far from perfect, and its empty feeling hub areas were among its most obvious flaws. It’s also one of the areas in which its sequel, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided has improved the most. Having played plenty of Deus Ex over the years, I mostly expect the guard-infested infiltration spaces to be impeccably designed, but after playing a substantial chunk of Mankind Divided, the hub areas seem to be catching up nicely.
For one, they’re much more dense – both in terms of the number of NPCs roaming around, and in the number missions, stories, and hidden goodies there are to partake of. Whether it’s a maintenance hallway tucked away in the back of a subway station or a seemingly abandoned second-floor apartment, I could barely make it from point A to B without finding some unsavory business to stick my nose in. This pleased me.

Video Games Honed Nicolas Hamilton Into a Real Race Driver
Motorsport is in Nicolas Hamilton’s blood. Born in Hertfordshire, England in 1992, Nicolas watched as his older brother Lewis carved out the beginnings of his own racing career. After successful stints in karts, Formula 3, and GP2 Lewis Hamilton, of course, would go on to win the Formula 1 championship three times, chalking up more race victories than any other British driver in the history of F1 in the process.
But it appeared Nicolas wasn’t going to be able to follow his brother into the world of motorsport. There was a hurdle. Nicolas was born with cerebral palsy, which affects his lower legs and the right side of his body. He tried karting in a car park as a seven-year-old, with his feet strapped to the pedals, but he crashed into a ditch.
