It’s our favorite time of the year and not just because temperatures are finally starting to cool down. It’s Gamecom time, folks!If the dozens of fantastic games launching over the course of the next few months weren’t enough to look forward to, brace yourselves for a whole lot of announcements, reveals, and deep dives courtesy of the Germany-based video game trade show. In this episode of Spot On, Tam and Lucy discuss what games they are most excited to see on the show floor, as well as what they suspect Opening Night Live has in store for us. From Monster Hunter Wilds, Star Wars Outlaws, and Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, to more niche titles like the aptly named Squirrel With A Gun, there’s a lot to chat about and even more to get excited for. Here’s a quick overview of the content you can expect to see from GameSpot in the coming weeks, as well as plenty of titles to add to your ever-growing “want to play” list. Spot On is a weekly news show airing Fridays in which GameSpot’s managing editor Tamoor Hussain and senior producer Lucy James talk about the latest news in games. Given the highly dynamic and never-ending news cycle of the massive video game industry, there’s always something to talk about but, unlike most other news shows, Spot On will dive deep into a single topic as opposed to recapping all the news. Spot On airs each Friday.

Read moreLast month, director Fede Alvarez turned back the clock on the Alien franchise with Alien: Romulus, but the upcoming TV series will go back even further. FX’s Alien: Earth is set three decades before Ridley Scott’s original film. And as the title implies, this means the xenomorphs have gotten closer to Earth than anyone previously realized.

Read moreIt’s debatable which Batmobile is the best–the one from Batman Forever is the undisputed king, according to Bat-science–but building any of the Caped Crusader’s crimefighting vehicles in Lego is undeniably a great way to spend an afternoon. For fans of the Dark Knight Trilogy, Amazon has discounted the Batmobile seen in the Christopher Nolan movies, as you can get this hunk of justice-dispensing plastic for just $213. Normally $270, the Lego Batmobile Tumbler hardly ever gets a discount, let alone a sizable one like this. This will likely sell out quick, as Target has already run out of stock. See at Amazon
