There are no lack of Jurassic Park fans out there who would love to see a proper theme park simulation based on the franchise, and while 2018's Jurassic World Evolution got us close to that point, it didn't quite get us close enough.

Just as the rumors foretold, it seems that the original Dead Space game is being remade for modern platforms. The remake's reveal closed out EA Play Live with a suitably creepy teaser trailer today, where it was confirmed that it'll be launching exclusively for Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, and PC.

Last month, we heard a rumor which claimed that one of Battlefield 2042's unrevealed modes was actually a sandbox mode that would let players combine different Battlefield eras. Today at EA Play Live, EA and Ripple Effect - the new name for DICE LA - revealed exactly that. The new mode is called Battlefield Portal, and it's described as "a love letter to fans and creators."

With Horizon Forbidden West on the way, it makes sense that Sony would want to cross-promote the game and its characters with other popular games. It's little surprise, then, to hear that Aloy - the main character in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West - is coming to Genshin Impact. She'll be going live in an upcoming update and will first be available to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 players.

Fall Guys has had no lack of guest characters appear as costumes in the game. We've seen famous characters like Sonic the Hedgehog, Godzilla, Cuphead, and the DOOM Slayer (and many, many more) all appear as limited-edition costumes, but soon, Fall Guys will get new costumes based on two widely-loved PlayStation characters: Ratchet & Clank. The costumes are arriving later this month, but you'll need more than just crowns to unlock them.

It's been a rough day for some unfortunate PC gamers. Amazon's upcoming MMO, New World, entered closed beta yesterday, and it didn't take long before some participants reported that the game bricked their GPUs. These weren't aging GPUs trying to run a game beyond their capability, but rather top-of-the-line RTX 3090 GPUs.

This months' Amazon Prime Gaming free download setup is live with the games Battlefield 1 (now) and Battlefield V (soon) on PC. Much like previously offered "free" games through Prime Gaming, the user must fulfill several requirements before they can make with the downloading and the playing of the game. The word "free" is thrown around a lot in today's wild world of downloadable and playable games for PC - the definition of "free" isn't always the same from platform to platform.

Amazon's New World MMO is currently in closed beta, and that has led to a surge of interest in the game. New World launches at the end of August, so this closed beta is a chance for prospective buyers to see the mostly-finished product, and a lot of folks are taking Amazon up on its offer of beta access in exchange for pre-orders. However, if you have an RTX 3090 graphics card in your rig, you might want to sit out the New World beta for now, as there have been reports of the game bricking GPU hardware.

The Fortnite Rainbow Royale event just appeared in the in-game shop for all platforms. This event is a celebration of Fortnite's LGBTQIA+ community with assurances that "everyone is welcome on the Battle Bus." It should be made clear, here, that this event is taking place outside of the trendy confines of Pride Month, where brands of all sorts make it a point to turn their social media rainbow-colored.

In recent years, we’ve seen a shift in gaming laptop design. While the behemoth machines that are only arguably portable are still around, there’s also been a push to create thin and light gaming laptops that can also be used as a daily driver as well. These thin and sleek gaming laptops offer a lot to love by packing high-end GPUs and powerful CPUs in as small a chassis as possible. Acer’s Predator Triton 300 SE laptop is immediately eye-catching in its design, and it doesn’t slouch on the spec sheet either. But, is it a good choice for gamers looking for the best of both worlds in a laptop?
