As predicted when first announced, the fourth race to join the ranks of Creative Assembly's Total War: Warhammer 2 is the rat-like Skaven. Rather than crank out a cinematic trailer to show them off, the developer has gone with an in-engine demo instead.
An update today from BioWare confirmed that Mass Effect: Andromeda will indeed not be getting any new content. Kotaku reported as much back in late June, when sources familiar with BioWare's plans said that Andromeda would receive no single-player DLC, a huge departure from every previous game in the series.
There are plenty of things to be annoyed with about Batman and Harley Quinn. It looks cheap, it cuts more corners than it should, and it feels much more like an average TV episode than an actual movie. But the biggest problem is how much it cheapens Harley Quinn, turning a beloved character into an "Idiot Meat Skank". And those are the movie's words, not mine.

Fantasy Flight Games' line of excellent Star Wars tabletop games have covered conflicts on a galactic scale at the dizzying speeds of starfighter combat — but their next game isn't going to be played out among the stars. It's all about the troopers on the ground fighting the Galactic Civil War.
There's a moment in Batman and Harley Quinn when Nightwing asks Harley why she's working for minimum wage in a superhero-themed bar inspired by Hooters instead of using her background as a psychiatrist to help people, make some legit money, and truly get back on the straight and narrow.
Blizzard's only just now getting around to FPS mainstays such as deathmatch with Overwatch's official modes, but custom games have allowed players to tunnel their way outside the box.

Game capture hardware maker Elgato made streaming a little bit fancier this week with the release of Cam Link, a $US129 ($163) USB device that allows users to use any camera with an HDMI output as a webcam. Plus it also does game capture. It's pretty nifty.
No Man's Sky keeps changing, almost entirely for the better. With each update, I've worried Hello Games is finally going to take out my favourite move in the game. So far they haven't. I'm starting to worry less.
So far, there have been three Overwatch APEX tournaments in South Korea. Lunatic Hai has won two of them. Widely regarded as one of the best Overwatch teams in the world — if not the best — they were expected to dismantle relatively unheralded team MVP Space without breaking much of a sweat.
