Xbox Game Pass Subscription Just $30 In The US

Listen up, Xbox One owners: right now Target is running a great deal on Xbox Game Pass. You can get a code for a six-month Xbox Game Pass subscription for just $30. That’s half off the usual price–and the usual price is already a good deal. Click here to get the deal.

Xbox Game Pass is Microsoft’s subscription service that gives Xbox One owners access to over 100 games for Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One. But unlike Sony’s similar PlayStation Now service, Xbox Game Pass lets you download the games to your hard drive, meaning you don’t need a lightning-fast internet connection to play.

The games available right now include titles like Doom, Fallout 4, Rocket League, and The Division. Many Xbox One exclusives are also available, like Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, Gears of War 4, and Halo 5: Guardians. Games published by Microsoft Studios are available in the service right from launch, so you’ll be able to play games like Forza Horizon 4 and Crackdown 3 on day one without shelling out $60 for them.

Like Netflix, the games available for Xbox Game Pass members can come and go, with certain titles popping up for a few months and then leaving the service. Xbox Game Pass members also get exclusive discounts. If you want to own a game that’s currently available in the service, you can buy it for up to 20% off. You also get up to 10% off expansions, add-ons, and consumables.

Why The Purge Might Make a Better TV Show Than a Movie

The dystopian nightmare of The Purge has finally become a TV series – premiering September 4 on USA with a 10-episode first season.

So what could there still be to explore within the world of The Purge, the warped, alternate-reality American “holiday” we’ve now seen over the course of four movies, from beginning (in The First Purge) to the ostensible end (in The Purge: Election Year)? Well, for starters, the series, at 10 hours total, is longer than all four movies combined and aims to focus more on characters, giving the entire franchise a chance to present fans with a different, more complex story.

I visited the New Orleans set of the new Purge series this past summer to chat with showrunner Tom Kelly, along with the on-hand cast, about how this new show deepens the mythology of the saga while presenting viewers with a chance to really empathize with – or at least understand – the sprawling ensemble of Purge participators.

Extermination Takes a Heavy Toll on the X-Men

Marvel kicked off its latest X-Men event this week, and things are already looking pretty bleak for our heroes.

Warning: this article contains spoilers for Extermination #1!

The original teenage X-Men have been trapped in the present-day Marvel Universe ever since 2012’s All-New X-Men #1. Extermination appears to be the story where they finally go back to their own timeline. Though if this first issue is any indication, they may not survive long enough to make the trip home. The emergence of old and new foes has resulted in the deaths of two X-Men and the capture of a third.

How the Best Monster Hunter World Players Trained for the USA Championship

For the first time ever, Capcom held an official, standalone Monster Hunter tournament stateside on July 28, 2018 in San Francisco. At stake was a trip to Japan to represent the US in a worldwide championship, and when the dust settled Social Dissonance walked away with the honor. But the journey was as much a part of the story as the destination, and we talked to some of the USA Championship finalists about why a certain weapon was so popular, how they prepared, and how other players can get better at this notoriously challenging game. Watch the video for a summary of three finalist’s tales, or read on for an in-depth look.

Spider-Punk Brings the Fun to Marvel’s Spider-Geddon

Marvel has established a clear trend with major, multiverse-spanning Spider-Man crossovers in recent years. Before the main event begins, there’s the obligatory “Edge of…” miniseries to kick things off. Edge of Spider-Geddon #1 does little to suggest this latest crossover will stray very far from the beaten path. But anyone who craves another glimpse of Spider-Punk and his strange, anarchic Marvel Universe, this issue will satisfy.

Dead Man Logan Tells the Final Story of Old Man Logan

Old Man Logan’s story will officially conclude with the 12-part limited series, “Dead Man Logan.”

Per Newsarama, “Dead Man Logan” will see Old Man Logan tying up loose ends by going after Mysterio, who tricked Logan into murdering his fellow X-Men in the Old Man Logan timeline. This forced Logan to retire (for a time) while disavowing the Wolverine name.
