This week in games: Fallout 4 footage sneaks onto PornHub, Warcraft IV teased, and more






This week, someone beat Dark Souls using only their voice. And here I am still trying to beat the game with a controller like some sort of chump. Here’s your gaming news for the week of August 10-14.
Beyond price

Need something to occupy your weekend? Like, your whole weekend? Civilization: Beyond Earth is free-to-play through Steam from now until Sunday—the full version of the game, no strings. And if you like it and want to keep playing, it’s also discounted to 50 percent off.

Check your Steam library to install and play.

Or you could get your Alpha on this weekend instead. Rising Thunder, the new robot-on-robot, just-for-PC fighting game from Seth Killian and Co. entered open alpha this week, meaning anyone can head over to the site, register, and install.

Note: The game is definitely in alpha, meaning it is barely optimized. I had trouble getting the game to run smoothly on High settings on a 980 Ti, so be warned: You might have to dip the graphics more than usual to eke out a decent framerate.
