Star Wars Battlefront Death Star DLC Brings Space Battles
Star Wars Battlefront's latest round of DLC will introduce a new game mode, Battle Station, that includes the game's first-ever space battles, as well as a take on Star Wars: A New Hope's Death Star trench run.
EA has released new details about the Death Star DLC coming to Battlefront as part of Gamescom 2016, specifically the three-part Battle Station mode included in the newest content.
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.
Executive producer Todd Helbing is aware there's the concern of getting repetitive, but explained to me during a recent interview why it feels important to have a speedster battling out against Barry Allen. 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.

This Batman Villain Beat the Justice League
Batman #5 capped off the series' first story arc with a major superhero brawl.
Warning: this article contains spoilers for Batman #5!
This issue opens with would-be hero Gotham rampaging through Gotham City, having been driven mad by his failure to save lives and being exposed to the emotion-manipulating powers of Psycho Pirate (we've all been there). So who better to stand against this insane superhero than Alfred Pennyworth?

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. But what if, rather than merely upping the opposing force’s firepower and numbers as your crime spree escalated, the AI actually called on other human players to come in and help put an end to your rampage? This kind of counter-op cop system is precisely what Watch Dog 2’s Bounty Hunt feature facilitates, and from my short hands-on time with it at Gamescom I’ve come away thinking it’s the best thing to happen to cat and mouse since Itchy met Scratchy.
