Battle Station starts players out in a space battle, as X-Wings and A-Wings take on TIE Fighters and TIE Fnterceptors. In this phase, the Rebels are attempting to destroy enough enemy ships so that their Y-Wing support can come in and weaken the Star Destroyer's defenses.

Flash EP Explains Why There’s Another Speedster Villain

The Flash will be battling it out against two villains in Season 3: Dr. Alchemy, and speedster Savitar. This will be the third season to feature a speedster villain, after Reverse Flash in Season 1 and Zoom in Season 2.

He also discussed how Flashpoint will be translated from the comics to the small screen, how Jay Garrick will fit into Season 3 and why he's looking forward to the upcoming Supergirl/The Flash musical crossover.

Watch Dogs 2’s Bounty Hunt Feature is Fast, Furious and Extremely Fun

One of the more devious sandbox pursuits to indulge in since Rockstar first blueprinted the five-star wanted system in Grand Theft Auto III has been to start some fiery, bullet-riddled havoc among the general populace and see how long you can survive for once the army has been called in.
