“To keep going, we’ve got to be a part of something bigger than ourselves.” The Orchard has debuted a trailer for The Yes Men Are Revolting, an autobiographical documentary about the “Yes Men”, Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, two “hilarious activists” that tell their own story in this film. As they explain, they have been pulling off corporate pranks for years and now are trying to find new inspiration fighting climate change. Yeah it looks a bit cheesy, but I’m much more interested in the angle of seeing them pull off their hoaxes than anything. If you enjoy activism or stories about passionate people, give this a look. ›››

Big screen, big sound, dinosaurs, beer, popcorn, pizza, no texting. Can it get any better than that? Alamo Drafthouse is providing one amazingly sweet deal by offering an exclusive, custom-made Jurassic World pint glass to customers who pre-order tickets to the see the new dinosaur movie in theaters this June. The pint glasses are actually velociraptor pint glasses, featuring a motif from the scene where Chris Pratt rides on his motorcycle with the raptors.

No but seriously, this is cool, and I love that they’re doing this and making it so easy to get them – just by pre-ordering. A few may be available to buy at theaters but that’s it. ›››

There’s no escaping your own mind. HBO has debuted a trailer for their upcoming premiere Nightingale, a feature film starring David Oyelowo in a one-man drama directed by Elliott Lester. Oyelowo plays a mentally unbalanced war veteran who becomes so obsessed with an impending dinner appointment with it old friend that it drives him mad. Many will agree that Oyelowo should’ve received an Oscar nomination for his performance in Selma last year, but he’s a very talented guy and I’m sure he’ll prove himself again and again, with roles like this one showing how great he is. I’m curious to check this out – give the trailer a look. ›››

There goes Big Ben. Considering the results of the election in the UK today, it’s a particularly perfect time for Focus Features to drop this poster for London Has Fallen. This sequel to Olympus Has Fallen is not the Roland Emmerich one (that was White House Down), instead it’s the one with Gerard Butler. Who, believe it or not, is back for this sequel being directed by Babak Najafi. The massive cast includes: Aaron Eckhart, Morgan Freeman, Angela Bassett, Melissa Leo, Radha Mitchell, Robert Forster, Jackie Earle Haley, Charlotte Riley, Sean O’Bryan, Alon Aboutboul and Waleed Zuaiter. None of them are seen on this poster, because it’s just a shot of the Big Ben clocktower being blown out. I guess we’ll find out who did this later? ›››

While we wait for Warner Bros to figure out what to do with Jeff Nichols’ Midnight Special, the filmmaker already has another project lined up. A press release sent out has announced that Nichols is attached to direct a film called Loving, starring Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga, based on the couple behind the seminal 1967 civil rights case, Loving v. Virginia. Production is already slated to start shooting in September later this year in Virginia, meaning this is definitely next for Jeff Nichols, and Warner Bros is likely going to push back Midnight Special until after he finishes all the major work on this film. “I was struck by the simplicity of the Loving’s story, and I hope to make this a painfully beautiful film,” Nichols comments. Sounds good. ›››

The new Assassin’s Creed game set to be revealed next week is entitled Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate and stars an assassin named Jacob Frye, according to promotional material leaked to Polygon.
Ubisoft announced just yesterday that it planned to unveil the newest Assassin’s Creed on Tuesday, May 12. This was presumed to be the Xbox One, PS4, and PC game leaked last year under the title Assassin’s Creed Victory, which was to be set in Victorian-era London.

The information obtained by Polygon reinforces this, as it states Syndicate will “transport millions of gamers to an astonishing recreation of London during the Industrial Revolution where they will find themselves immersed in a game world they’ll have to see to believe.”
Officially, Ubisoft has revealed next to nothing about the game, though it did provide the image above. A teaser website provides some hints that track with a game set during the Industrial Revolution, but specific story details and even the title remain unofficial.
Syndicate’s official reveal is set to take place at 9 AM PST on May 12. Stay tuned to GameSpot for the latest.

Developer Tripwire has revealed the first details regarding the next map coming to Killing Floor 2, along with some screenshots of what it looks like before being covered in blood.
In the first “State of the Killing Floor 2 Union Address,” as Tripwire is calling it, the developer explains on its forums some steps it’s taking to resolve bugs and crashes, including some new systems it’s putting in place to better track what’s causing these problems.




More excitingly, it also showed off Manor, a new work-in-progress map coming to the game. Set on the Swiss cliffside, Manor is described as a “modern fortress” filled with secrets. You can check out some images in the gallery above.
Tripwire says Killing Floor 2’s first content update is “closing in,” though exactly what it will contain has not yet been detailed. We do, however, know the developer is working on other new maps, weapons, perks, characters, bosses, and gameplay balancing.
Following a recent beta, Killing Floor 2 is now available in Early Access for $30. It plays reasonably well–Tripwire considers it a “polished beta”–but offers only a limited amount of content (there are only three maps currently). For some thoughts on where it is now, check out GameSpot’s Early Access review.

Celebrated mobile game Monument Valley, which was featured on the latest season of House of Cards, is currently available at the lowest price we can ever recall. You can buy the indie game on iTunes, Google Play, and Amazon right now for $1. The Windows Phone version, however, still costs $4.

There’s no word on how long the game will be available at that low price, so if you’re interested, you may want to act quickly.
GameSpot recently spoke with the game’s creators about how Monument Valley found itself on House of Cards. Check out our full interview here to get all the details.
Monument Valley was a big winner at this year’s Independent Games Festival, where it took home prizes for Innovation, Best Handheld Game, and Best Visual Art.
