NEWS | Week beginning July 20th | Fallout Anthology announced, HOG needs help! & Five Nights at Freddy's out already!

Good evening guys! Tonight I'll be bringing you another weekly news round-up! Let's get into it!

Fallout Anthology announced

First up, Bethesda have announced that a Fallout Anthology is to be released on the 2nd October in Europe. 

Priced at £39.99, the Anthology will include all the Fallout games that ever been developed/published by Bethesda, including Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics, Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition and Fallout New Vegas: Ultimate Edition! 

It even comes in a 'Mini-Nuke'
shaped container!

Personally, I find this to be great! As you all should know by now, I am a massive Fallout fan! I am however a fan that was only introduced to the series from Fallout 3 on-wards, meaning I missed the first three games. This anthology is a great way for players like me, who love the Fallout series, to replay their favourites, as-well as give the original games a chance too.

Sounds great right? However, there is a catch. It's only going to be available to PC gamers and there will only be limited stock, much like the Fallout 4: PipBoy Edition. 

Got a PC and you want have all these classics tied up into one nice, neat, little bundle? Keep your eyes out on October 2nd!

HOG needs help!

Next up, London's last dedicated arcade, 'The Heart of Gaming', has suffered over £5000 in losses after a break-in during the week.

Thieves broke into the community-run building on Tuesday night and stole many of the arcades modern consoles and equipment, like TV's and sound systems. Fortunately, none of the classic arcade machines inside the arcade were stolen, broken into or damaged.

The HOG in London

Mark Starkey, the owner of the arcade said to Eurogamer that "They were very specific about what they took - It was all new-generation stuff." He went on to say that "I know what's worth more, but there we go. There were lots of rare game cartridges they could have taken".

Due to the fact that the arcade is community run and driven, Starkey knows that they "can't simply get the bank card out and recover", as stated in the Eurogamer interview. Therefore, Starkey has set up a GoFundMe Campaign to raise the £5000 needed to get the arcade back up to running order. Fortunately, generous donors managed to raise over £3000 in just 24 hours. They have since reached their goal of £5000, but they plan to keep the campaign going to raise extra funds to improve the security of the arcade. So, if any of you guys are feeling generous and want to assist the last dedicated arcade in London, head over to their  GoFundMe Campaign and donate! As a well-known supermarket once said, "Every Little Helps"!

Five Nights at Freddy's out already!

Finally, Five Nights at Freddy's 4 has been released a whole two weeks ahead of it's original release
date of August 8th.

It's out now!

Cawthon, the lone developer of the Five Nights at Freddy's series said on the game's Steam page that "Okay, so many of you already know, I'm bad with release dates. The game is done". The fourth game in the series costs £5.59 in the UK and $7.99 in the US.

As many of you may remember, last week I slated the game for being to similar to the other games in the series. I still do believe that the game is a bit too similar to the other games in the series, after watching a few other YouTubers play the game, I must admit the game does look better than the other 3. Cawthon has introduced a new locale as well a few mini-games in between night.
Go check out the games Steam page if you need a new horror game to play!

One last thing, I would like to apologize for such a small news round-up this week, news has been slow this week and nothing major has happened unfortunately!
