Batman: Arkham Knight Season Pass Announced
Warner Bros. has announced a Season Pass for Batman: Arkham Knight will cost £32.99 / $39.99 if purchased on its own, or available in a Premium Edition of the game priced £87.98 / $99 on PS4 and Xbox One.
The Season Pass will provide DLC for six months following the game's release. Though solid details on content haven't been nailed down, we should apparently expect "new story missions, additional super-villains invading Gotham City, legendary Batmobile skins, advanced challenge maps, alternative character skins, and new drivable race tracks."
We recently got a new trailer for the game, in which Arkham Knight's darker tone is evident. We first learned of Arkham Knight's M-rating, the first ever in the series, back in February, and were provided with some details of the game's more violent scenes in March.

Is This the Future of Google Glass?
Google has sent the A4R-CAP1 smart BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) device to the FCC for approval.
It is not known what this mystery device is yet, but there are signs that it could be the future of Google Glass.
The FCC label requires a swipe to see it, suggesting that the device will have a touch strip similar to that of the existing Google Glass. There are also mentions of Android-like firmware and a battery.
In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, the CEO of Luxottica, which makes the eyewear, said that the company is "now working on version 2" of Glass.

Why Burnout 3 Is Still the Most Perfect Arcade Racer Ever
There’s one thing you can count on in any article regarding a racing game on IGN; there’ll be at least one comment below it that completely ignores the topic at hand and demands a new Burnout game instead.
EA may have put the Burnout series on indefinite ice many years ago (aside from the 2011 spin-off Burnout Crash! there hasn’t been a proper Burnout game since Burnout Paradise way back in 2008) but a deep love of the series still burns hot in the bellies of its staunchest supporters.
But that’s hardly surprising. For these devoted Burnout disciples, Burnout is the ultimate expression of arcade racing – a fact with which I wholeheartedly agree. But what is it about this series that elevates it to the very acme of arcade racing, and what is it that Burnout 3: Takedown specifically nails better than all the rest? Check out the video above for our thoughts, or read on below for a quick summary.

Connectivity Issues Plague Halo Championship Series
ESL's Halo Championship Series was cancelled over the weekend because of further "joinability" issues with Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
47 teams from across North America had signed up for a chance to compete for the $3,000 prize pool and progression to Sunday's Legendary bracket tournament. But as connectivity issues once again reared their ugly head, the Halo twitter account announced that although the devs were aware of and investigating the problems, the tournament had to be suspended.

Has NASA Accidentally Invented a Warp Drive?
The EmDrive, an experimental propulsion device, may be producing a warp field.
According to posts on the NASA Space Flight forum, when lasers were fired into the EmDrive resonance chamber, it was found that some of the beams were travelling faster than the speed of light.
If this is true, then it would mean that the EmDrive is producing a warp field or bubble. A forum post says that "this signature (the interference pattern) on the EmDrive looks just like what a warp bubble looks like. And the math behind the warp bubble apparently matches the interference pattern found in the EmDrive."
