Remember the squillions of dollars people threw at the Dark Souls board game when that was announced? The makers of that are back with their next project, a board game spin-off of Resident Evil 2.

Designed and created by the same team behind the Hand of Fate board game and Burger Up, Aussie board gamers Rule & Make have gotten their hands on something pretty sweet: the rights to produce an official Terminator 2 board game.

I'm not entirely sure who at Universal Studios said, "Hey, we should turn the Mummy movies into a Metroid game." But that's kind of what's going on with The Mummy Demastered.

Australia's 'Big Four' banks have decided to remove the cash withdrawal fee for using their ATMs. This means you will no longer be charged $2 for using a CBA, Westpac, ANZ or NAB ATM with your card, regardless of who you bank with.
