We’re still a few months away from Bethesda Softworks‘ release of the id Software-developed open world shooter, Rage. The iOS game Rage HD has been around since late last year to tide us over, but those who haven’t yet taken the plunge with the mobile release might want to go for it now. It’s free, after all.

Earlier this month, id Software threw out a challenge: the iOS Rage would go free for a week as soon as the console game’s Facebook page picked up 100,000 “Likes.” The feat was successfully accomplish and, as you can see in the App Store, Rage HD is down from $1.99 to the low, low price of absolutely nothing.

It may not be the greatest game in the App Store, but it’s certainly not a bad one. The regular pricing is already a good deal, and who’s going to argue with free? Rage HD is an on-rails shooter that should bring you a couple of joyful hours with its bloody action and sweet visuals.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4

A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.

One of 2023’s best indie games is getting a movie starring LaKeith Stanfield

James descends on an elevator in El Paso, Elsewhere.

El Paso, Elsewhere, one of Digital Trends' favorite indie games of 2023, now has a film adaptation in the works.

Variety reports that LaKeith Stanfield -- an actor known for his work in films like Judas and the Black Messiah, Knives Out, and Haunted Mansion, as well as TV shows like Atlanta -- is going to star in and produce the film. The adaptation is in the works at Di Bonaventure Pictures, the production company behind the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Meg film franchises. Little else is known about the film at this time, although we'd presume it will be a fairly direct adaptation of this intense story-driven game.
