Possible Grow Home Sequel ‘Grow Up’ Rated by PEGI
Ratings board PEGI has listed Grow Up, a new game from Ubisoft for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Gematsu spotted the rating, and if it's correct, it's safe to assume this will be a sequel to last year's experimental platforming game Grow Home.
Grow Up is apparently for ages three and up, and the release date is listed for today. This would be a surprise, but there is a chance this date is just a placeholder.
Ubisoft's E3 press conference is taking place later today at 1pm PT, so we can expect to hear an official announcement then.
ThinkGeek Creates Working Pip-boy Replica
ThinkGeek is creating a Fallout pip-boy replica.
The pip-boy is up for pre-order for $349.99 plus $9.99 shipping on the ThinkGeek website and features its own dedicated screen; complete with a map, radio function, and alarm clock. Whether one of the alarm tones is Preston Garvey screaming "I've heard of another settlement that needs your help," remains to be seen. Hopefully not though, yeah?
It also wirelessly connects with the user’s mobile phone, via Bluetooth, to take calls and play music. So if you want to wear it while you’re out and about, and talk to your wrist, you totally can.
Game of Thrones Actor Discusses Jaime’s Feelings Toward Brienne
Full spoilers for Game of Thrones' latest episode, "No One," continue below.
Jaime Lannister crossed paths with the last person he would have imagined to find in the Riverlands, and according to star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, his character is pretty conflicted about it. Fans have loved the relationship between Jaime and Brienne of Tarth (Gwendoline Christie) ever since the two became unlikely traveling partners in Season 2, and the pair reunited again in Sunday's "No One."
It's not a reunion either character expected to happen, according to Coster-Waldau, and it didn't help that they were on opposing sides of the battlefield. I spoke with Coster-Waldau about the events of "No One," and he set the record straight about how he's playing Jaime's emotions for Brienne. He also talked a bit about why they didn't discuss the real threat on Westeros, aka the massive army of the undead north of the Wall, and where he imagines Jaime goes next after completing his mission at Riverrun.
All the News and Trailers From EA’s E3 2016 Press Conference

Game of Thrones’ “Battle of the Bastards” Looks Absolutely Insane
HBO has released the first promotional video for "Battle of the Bastards," the ninth episode of Game of Thrones: Season 6, and oh man. It. Is. So. Good.
Here's your proof (and don't worry, there aren't any spoilers for "No One" if you haven't seen it yet):
In early seasons of Game of Thrones, certain corners had to be cut in the production due to budget. Tyrion got knocked out in Season 1 instead of fighting in a battle he participated in in George R.R. Martin's books. A massive portion of Season 2's budget went to the Battle of Blackwater. Even Season 4's Children of the Forest aren't quite as impressive as they are in Season 6.
New Elder Scrolls Online Update Removes Content Barriers
Zenimax is expanding its fantasy MMO, as the studio announced a new update for The Elder Scrolls Online that will open the game's entire world to all players.
The update, dubbed One Tamriel, was revealed during Bethesda's E3 press conference and removes "all content barriers," allowing players, regardless of their level, to "experience everything Tamriel has to offer." When the update goes live this fall, those who are new to the game will be able to quest with veteran players and the world will adjust accordingly.
According Bethesda's official announcement, "there will be no restrictions on Alliances or questing, allowing you to group up with other players and travel to any area of Tamriel." However, the update won't affect PvP areas, where Alliance restrictions will remain in place.
Skyrim Remaster Free to PC Owners That Have All DLC

Announced by Bethesda on Twitter, the upgrade will be offered from launch day on October 28.
If you own #Skyrim and all its add-ons or own Legendary Edition on Steam, you'll get a free upgrade to Skyrim Special Edition on Oct 28 #BE3
Dishonored 2 Collector’s Edition Revealed
To cap of its E3 2016 press conference, Bethesda showcased Dishonored 2's Collector's Edition. It retails for $99.99, and includes a bust of Corvo's mask, Emily Kaldwin's ring, a copy of the game, and more.
According to a listing on Amazon, the following is included with the Collector's Edition:
- Corvo Attano's Mask Replica and Stand. This recreation of Corvo's in-game mask stands at 13.5" (H) x 6" (W) x 5.5" (D).
Titanfall 2: Our First Multiplayer Hands-On Is Fire
Now that NBA superstar Steph Curry has turned an emoji into a real-life adjective, we might as well just run with it. “Fire” is an apt fit for my first hands-on with Titanfall 2 multiplayer, which takes the core Titanfall “pilots & Titans” gameplay and evolves it in ways that feel mostly excellent so far.
I played four rounds of the new Bounty Hunt mode on a map called “Boomtown.” In Boomtown, enemy Titans will get marked with bounties, which you can collect by melee executing them from your Titan or rodeo-ing them as a pilot. The biggest change to the gameplay seems to be the way the rodeo mechanic works. No longer will your on-foot pilot hop up -- or use the Front Rifleman class’s grappling hook -- on top of the enemy Titan and empty lead into its brain after mashing the X button to pry off its protective covering. Instead, you’ll drop a grenade down a hole in the top of the enemy mech and walk away with a battery.
Game of Thrones: Is This Cersei Lannister’s Master Plan?
Full spoilers for Game of Thrones' latest episode, "No One," continue below.
Cersei Lannister does not do well when backed into a corner, but that's exactly what happened in the third-to-last episode of Game of Thrones' sixth season. After relying on the promise of a trial by combat to get out of her troubles with the High Sparrow, Cersei had that plan yanked away from her when her son, King Tommen, outlawed that medium of resolving a trial.
But like the feline on the Lannister house sigil, Cersei Lannister always lands on her feet -- or at least she has up until this point. She and Qyburn seem to have an ace up their sleeve, and I think I have an idea of what it could be. (Note: I learned since publishing this that a whole bunch of other people have this theory as well, so it seems like we might all be onto something!)
