Danish blood donors are being rewarded for their generosity with free copies of the upcoming PlayStation 4 action-roleplaying game Bloodborne. PlayStation Denmark has partnered with the GivBlod blood bank for the limited time promotion coming up at a Copenhagen blood bank on March 23, 2015.

The promotion is framed as a way to pull in more male blood donors, who are apparently in short supply in Denmark. This goes against global averages, according to 2014 data from the World Health Organization, which attributes only 30 percent of blood donations from around the world to women.

The site indicates that donors will be rewarded with either Bloodborne or “another PlayStation game,” but does not go into any specifics about the alternative options. Donors can also enter for a chance to win a Bloodborne-themed PS4 console when signing up by entering “PS4” after their first name on the form. If you’re a gamer in or near Copenhagen on March 23, consider taking a little time out of your day for a more than generous reward. Check out GivBlod’s site for more details.

Bloodborne is the latest from Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki. This brutal action roleplaying game pits you against all manner of enormous, gothic horrors in both solo and cooperative gameplay, with the occasional competitive multiplayer incursion like in Souls games. The conservative, dodge-and-roll style encouraged by Dark Souls, however, has been replaced with a more aggressive style. The opportunity to recover a portion of health lost by striking back within a small window of time means that players will want to keep up momentum in their fights. Sony’s senior community manager described it as “Dark Souls with shotguns.”

Bloodborne comes exclusively to PlayStation 4 on March 24 in North America, March 25 in Europe, and March 27 in the UK.

Death Stranding feels more at home on PS5 than it did on PS4

Death Stranding was ahead of its time, though not in the way you’re probably thinking. Usually, that’s an expression reserved for innovation that feels light-years ahead of the competition. In the case of Hideo Kojima’s polarizing “strand” game, I mean that the project quite literally launched before technology could do it full justice.

The best split-screen PS4 games
It Takes Two

There was a time when there was no other option for playing games with your friends besides plugging a second controller into your console and loading up a game with a split-screen mode. In modern times, thanks to video games taking advantage of the internet to allow for more players to come together, even across continents, split-screen play has slowly become phased out of most titles. Even PS4 games where multiplayer, co-op, or competitive is the primary focus are no longer guaranteed to let two players on the same console play together.

Whether it's due to technical limitations or trying to bring people into their online ecosystems to sell micro-transactions, split-screen gaming on the PlayStation 4 isn't always easy to do. But that doesn't mean every developer has given up on the old tradition of getting together with your friends for a glorious multiplayer session. In fact, there are some absolutely fantastic games that still allow you to team up or battle it out without going online. Here are the best split-screen PS4 games in 2021.
