Here’s What The Physical Version Of Rocket League Will Contain
Last week we reported that Psyonix’s car-soccer combat match game Rocket League was getting a physical release on all the platforms it was currently on.

About Time: The Batmobile Is Coming To Rocket League
As Rocket League has grown in significance, it’s gained a few special car models from outside properties. It has a Delorean now, but what it’s really needed is a Batmobile. Now that’s finally going to happen! What brought this on? The need for Warner Bros. to create as many media tie-ins for their upcoming Batman V. Superman movie as possible.

Last weekend something surprising happened: Red Dead Redemption, by far the most demanded game to be backwards-compatible with XBox One, magically became so — but it was a secret. The game was not available on the XBox Live marketplace and you couldn’t get it by simply inserting the disc. To make RDR run on the One, you had to know a friend who owned the game already. Then by selecting […]
TrackMania Turbo Now Has Release Date And New Trailer
Ubisoft’s TrackMania Turbo was originally planned to come out last year, but some extra tweaking and polishing required a delay. Now Ubisoft is confident enough with the finished product that they’ve cemented a release date: March 25, 2016.

Rocket Labs Lets Players Try Out New Rocket League Arenas
The upcoming February update to Psyonix’s Rocket League will include a new playlist called Rocket Labs, Gamespot reported today. Rocket Labs will be unique among the game’s offerings in that it’s a list of arenas that haven’t been completed yet. They’re in a playable state.

Need For Speed: Most Wanted Is Free Today
Electronic Arts has an online marketplace similar to Steam but with tons more DRM. Because of this, it isn’t popular.

You don’t have to be a regular Origin customer to reap the benefits of On The House — just make […]
