The award for most random and tenuous PR stunt ever goes to Jagex. To celebrate the launch of Menaphos: The Golden City for RuneScape, the publisher has also commissioned the building of a giant cat activity centre, which has been donated to Wood Green Rehoming Centre in London. A live stream of the cats playing with the structure, inspired by the grand pyramid in Menaphos, is now available to view the RuneScape Facebook page.

Puny Astronaut, a team of eight soon-to-be-graduates from Abertay University in Dundee, Scotland, have been part of the PlayStation First Academic Development Program, and their first game, Skye, is coming to PS4 later this year.

Skye is set in a world that couldn’t be happier to see you. Wander around as the titular friendly flying dragon, dashing through dandelions, strumming crystal chimes and diving for pearls in a sprawling coral reef. There’s no wrong way to play; help the ship captain find his golden treasure, or take your time flying around the countryside (inspired by Norwegian fjords and highland coasts) – the world is there for you to enjoy at your leisure.



A Vietnamese skincare clinic seems to be using the Umbrella logo from Resident Evil as their company logo. The company say they are “surprised” by the coincidence and are discussing the similarities with the external party that created their logo.
