After years of silence, Unknown 9: Awakening re-emerges as a supernatural mash-up of Assassin's Creed with Star Wars Force powers

That’s the spirit While my demo handlers were careful to cut around any of the major story beats, focusing mostly on a mix of stealth and melee combat sequences, this is a game that looks likeTomb Raider, and plays likeAssassin’s Creedwith someStar WarsForce powers thrown in for good measure. Haroona is still the game’s protagonist, but she’s now a grown woman, portrayed by The Witcher’s Anya “Yennifer” Chalotra. I could chuck a lot of proper nouns at you to explain the game’s setup, but the long and short of it is this: there are two groups fighting to control an ancient source of knowledge that give the immortal Unknown 9 their specific power, and Haroona is out for revenge against the baddies who killed her friend and mentor....

Fallout's TV series looks pretty good in latest trailer, will release April 11th

Dang, now I want to watch it The upside of things being bad is that you don’t have to pay attention to them.
