Dust Off Your Dildo Bats, ‘Saints Row IV’ Is Coming In August
If I had to choose between going bowling with my cousin in Grand Theft Auto or gimp-drawn carriage chases in Saints Row, I’m going to go with the latter. The third game redefined ‘over-the-top’, and if the plot of Saints Row IV is any indication, that trend is only going to continue with the fourth entry. Basically, you become the new president of the United States right before an alien invasion that sends you to a virtual version of Steelport –the city the third game took place in — where you’re tasked with beating down the alien scum and saving the world. Feast your eyes on the pure, undiluted crazy that is the game’s announcement trailer, after the jump.
Saints Row IV will launch on current-gen consoles and PC on August 20, 2013, in North America and August 23, 2013, in the rest of the world.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
