From Liberty City to San Andreas, Rockstar has built a rich world of career criminals, lunatics, and thieves, and we’ve loved each and every one. Although over 25 years old, the record-breaking views on the first Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer is proof that Rockstar’s iconic game series remains one of the most popular franchises on the planet.

The trailer is packed with plenty of small details, but there's one thing in particular that helps explain the series as a whole. as a franchise has always been somewhat unlike anything else out there, despite the slew of imitators that it's inspired. With a long history of pushing the boundaries of open-world gameplay and public outcry alike, developer Rockstar Games knows how to spin a series that has no trouble attracting attention at every turn.

With how much Dead Island 2’s apocalypse parody poked fun at the Los Angeles area earlier this year, I guess it was only a matter of time before it turned its attention from vicious zombies to equally mindless cultists. I mean, how could they forget California’s reputation for welcoming eccentric people who then take advantage of our tolerance by brainwashing vast swathes of the population? Thankfully, this is something developer Dambuster Studios has corrected with its first DLC, Haus, which transports your character to a cult compound in Malibu where you’ll rub elbows with rich elites and smack down zombies who look like they’re dressed for the runway. And while I won't turn my nose up at a few more good laughs from a game I enjoyed, a three-hour runtime and very few new wrinkles to change up Dead Island 2’s basic zombie slashing formula make this jaunt extremely short-lived and a little unexciting.

However, in a recent event, the Apple Watch Ultra marked its biggest durability test when a user accidentally dropped it in a lake. While the Apple Watch Ultra does come with water resistance up to a depth of 100 meters (twice that of the Apple Watch Series 9, at 50 meters), not many would have expected it to survive in a lake after staying underwater for three entire months. But, according to a report, that is exactly what happened.

The future of E3 is continuing to look bleak, but the games industry has seen the emergence of another major summer event in the form of Summer Game Fest.

Amazon confirmed yesterday that the Fallout TV series will air at some point next year on Prime Video. The series' creators also revealed that it will be set in Los Angeles, where Vault 33 is located.

Fallout's upcoming TV show in production at Amazon Prime is probably one of the leakiest projects known to man. Several images of the set, locations, and other info have leaked on a fairly regular basis over the past year, so it's no real surprise that the show's first official sneak peek/teaser trailer has also made it onto the Internet well before Amazon itself was ready to show the thing off.
