Amazon has revealed the extensive list of PC games that Prime members can snap up at no extra cost in October. It's a very solid line up with a little something for everyone, including big hitters, killer indies and, since it's spooky season, a cauldron full of horror games. BioShock Remastered, Doom Eternal (one of our favorite games of 2020) and A Plague Tale: Innocence are among the most immediately recognizable names on the list. Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, the terrific Death's Door and the icky Scorn are all perhaps worth checking out if you haven't already done so. Nineties kids may be interested in playing a remaster of the sidescroller Gargoyles, which is based on the classic animated series. A dozen of the games are available now, including BioShock and Doom Eternal. It's worth noting that you'll only be able to claim the latter in regions where the Microsoft Store is available. Here's the full list of what you can claim and when, along with the launcher you can play each game on: Available now Hive Jump 2: Survivors (GOG) Scarf (Amazon Games App) Tomb Raider: Legend (GOG) The Eternal Cylinder (Epic Games Store) Spirit of the North (Epic Games Store) No Straight Roads (Epic Games Store) BioShock Remastered (GOG) Doom Eternal (Microsoft Store) DreadOut 2 (Amazon Games App) Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed Ecto Edition (Epic Games Store) Priest Simulator: Vampire Show (Epic Games Store) The Gap (Amazon Games App) October 17 Mystery Box: Hidden Secrets (Legacy Games Code) Vlad Circus: Descend Into Madness (Amazon Games App) Through the Darkest of Times (Amazon Games App) Killing Floor 2 (Epic Games Store) Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol (Amazon Games App) October 24 Pumpkin Jack (GOG) The Gunk (GOG) Stasis: Bone Totem (Epic Games Store) Gargoyles Remastered (Amazon Games App) Monster Train (GOG) Morbid: The Seven Acolytes (Epic Games Store) October 31 A Plague Tale: Innocence (GOG) Death's Door (Epic Games Store) Haunted Hotel: Personal Nightmare Collector's Edition (Amazon Games App) Scorn (GOG) Coromon (GOG) As ever, Amazon has refreshed the lineup of games that Prime members can stream on Luna at no extra cost. Fortnite and Trackmania are still in the mix, of course. Ubisoft's arena shooter, XDefiant, is on the list along with another notable name in Alien: Isolation. Amid Evil, Valfaris, Perish, Dr. Fetus' Mean Meat Machine, Tormented Souls, Dusk, Mortal Shell, Doomblade and Monster Harvest are the other games Prime members can stream (almost) for free in October.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/pc/amazon-prime-free-games-for-october-include-bioshock-remastered-doom-eternal-and-a-plague-tale-innocence-170939596.html?src=rss

Octobers PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup is certainly stuffed to the gills. Theres something for everyone, from zombie classics to narrative adventures and beyond. Lets take a look. The biggest draw here is likely Dead Island 2. For a while, we werent sure if this game would ever come out, but it did and its a blast to play. The action-heavy zombie slaying sim is set in Los Angeles and boasts six playable characters. Theres three-player co-op and, of course, more gore than you can shake a bloody baseball bat at. The games available for both PS4 and PS5. Gris is a stylistic 2D platformer that was a bona-fide hit when it was released several years back. We said it might be the prettiest game ever made, so the graphics and vibes are strong with this one. Its a relaxing mixture of puzzles, exploration and platform jumping. The dev team has another game on the way, called Neva, that also looks quite pretty. It took 13 years, but we finally got a new entry in the Monkey Island franchise. Return to Monkey Island continues the comedic adventures of Guybrush Threepwood, as first seen in several iconic Lucasfilm titles from the 1990s. Reviews were kind, with many players calling it a true return to form. As a warning, this is an old-school adventure with roots in the point-and-click genre. Those are the big three, but this months drop also includes Ghostbusters: Spirits Unleashed, Overpass 2, Tour de France 2023 and The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me, among others. PlayStation Premium members are also getting some games, including The Last Clockwinder for PS VR2 and Dino Crisis.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/playstation/dead-island-2-and-gris-join-the-playstation-plus-game-catalog-for-october-162432379.html?src=rss

Just 10 days after announcing a late November release date for Football Manager 25, Sports Interactive has delayed the soccer sim by several months. The developer and Sega, the game's publisher, said in September that they were pushing back the release date by a few weeks to "deliver the best possible experience for this first installment in a new era of Football Manager." However, the team says it still needs more time to "ensure the game quality and experience meets your expectations and our very high standards." As such, Football Manager 25 is now slated to arrive in March. Sports Interactive is giving the long-running game a major overhaul in its upcoming iteration, but the studio says it's been a difficult process. "Many things have been moving slower than we had predicted despite everyone in the team working at an incredible pace to try and get everything done," Sports Interactive said in a statement. "Timelines were already tight and, as rightly pointed out by many of your recent comments, we were simply rushing too much and in danger of compromising our usual standards. This has put an enormous amount of pressure on everyone working across the studio, who are all passionately committed to delivering the best game possible." We have made the tough decision to delay the release of Football Manager 25 until March 2025.Statement: https://t.co/zW7dRd1Lkp pic.twitter.com/UKPnz4l0Gb Football Manager (@FootballManager) October 10, 2024 The studio noted that Football Manager 25 marks the series' "biggest technical and visual advancement" in many years, which includes a switch to the Unity engine. To that end, it "simply cannot compromise the delivery of this crucial juncture in Football Managers history by rushing to release it in November." Sports Interactive now plans to offer a first proper look at gameplay in January. There will still be an advanced access period for players on PC and Mac. The developer and Sega typically release each year's edition of Football Manager in early November (EA puts out its FIFA/EA Sports FC games in late September or early October). That gives Sports Interactive some time to account for any player trades that take place during the summer transfer window and any other significant real-life happenings to make the game as up-to-date as possible. However, with Football Manager 25 now slipping to March, that cadence has been seriously disrupted. It could have a knock-on effect for the following entry. It also means the game will arrive close to the end of the European soccer season. In response to Sports Interactive's announcement, some players are calling for the studio to at least release a database update for Football Manager 2024 that reflects real-world changes for the current season. Some have even suggested that the developer scrap the planned game and focus on Football Manager 26 after bringing the current version up to date.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/football-manager-25-is-delayed-until-late-in-the-european-soccer-season-155746335.html?src=rss
