This month saw the epic return of Vote to Play that gave power to you, the players, to choose the game you wanted to join the monthly games roster. You voted in your masses to support your bros in what could very well be called a MMBRO (massively multi-player bromance).

Here is the full list of uber-cool games that await you on 1st March: Broforce


This manic-action 2D shooter beat off two incredibly formidable opponents to become the Vote to Play champ, so hail to the power of the bro! Get ready to gang up in a team of four as part of the excessively overpowered yet underfunded paramilitary organisation; BroForce. Your job is to save the world using your primary skill; excessive force! When you are done kicking evil’s ass, use your bro force against online players in the many crazy destructive modes. There’s no such thing as overkill in the name of freedom, so ready your force, Bro.

Galak-Z


It’s like your favourite Saturday morning classic anime come to gaming-life in this arcade-gaming adventure medley! Are you prepared to die to find out the secrets of the Galak-Z? You better be, because the road to becoming an Ultra pilot isn’t easy and there will be many bumps along the way. You’ll explore hostile environments in deep space battling an array or warring enemy fractions, and while the challenges may feel at times relentless, so is the fun!
And that’s not all. Over on PS3 and PS Vita, it’s bleak times for the future of the solar system in Super Stardust HD (PS3), the people of Earth have transformed into hideous monsters in The Last Guy (PS3), save the day in fast-paced fire-fighting thriller Flame Over (PS Vita) and be a heroic warrior in the unique fighting game Reality Fighters (PS Vita).

Last chance!

You have until 29th February to download this month’s games – what are you waiting for? Boot up your console pronto! Community

In celebration of our Vote to Play winner Broforce we have an extra special challenge for the community this month! Design a trailer for Broforce using the latest Sharefactory feature: ‘time bender’. There are awesome prizes up for grabs including game codes for Vote to Play runners up; Action Henk and Assault Android Cactus! Visit here for more info!

Far Harbor
Price: $24.99 USD | £19.99 GBP | $39.95 AUD
Release: May 2016



Posted Image


A new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we’ve ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours.

And more important, that this is only the beginning. We have plans for more. More than $60 worth of new Fallout adventures and features throughout 2016.

Given the expanded DLC plan, the price of the season pass will increase from the current $29.99 to $49.99 USD (£24.99 to £39.99 GBP; $49.95 to $79.95 AUD) on March 1, 2016. However, if you already purchased the season pass for $29.99, nothing changes - you still get everything at no additional cost— the full $60 offering of add-on content for the original price of $29.99. In addition, if you didn’t buy the season pass yet, there is still time: anyone who buys the Season Pass for $29.99 before March 1st will get all $60 worth of content. This is our way of saying thanks to all our loyal fans who have believed in us and supported us over the years.

Want a chance to play these add-ons early? We’ll be running closed betas for each of the add-ons for consoles and PC. And you can sign up right now on Bethesda.net. In order to apply, you’ll need to create a registered Bethesda.net account. We’ll be selecting applicants in the upcoming weeks. Players accepted into the beta will receive a code to redeem the content. The beta is the full version (complete with achievements) and those participating will not have to purchase the add-on.

Beyond add-ons, we’ll continue to offer free updates to the game, including new features like the recent weapon debris for PC, and increased draw distances for consoles, as well as more optimizations to gameplay and quests. And something that we’re really excited about, a complete overhaul of Survival Mode that changes how you play the whole game: food, sleep, diseases, danger and more.

We’re also hard at work on the Creation Kit, which will allow you to create and play mods absolutely free. We’re currently testing both Survival Mode and the Creation Kit now, and more details will be forthcoming.

Thanks again for your continued support of Fallout 4. We can’t wait for you to play more!
