We’re somehow already in November, and as such, Sony has announced the lineup of free PlayStation Plus games arriving soon. Six more free titles are on the way across PS4, PS3, and Vita, and they’ll arrive next week.
On PS4, strategy game Worms Battlegrounds and platformer Bound will both be free starting on November 7. To celebrate the recent PlayStation VR anniversary, a bonus game will also be offered for a longer-than-usual period: Until Dawn: Rush of Blood will be free starting on November 7 and will remain that way through January 2.
During November, PS3 owners get R-Type Dimensions and Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic. Vita owners get Broken Sword 5: The Serpent’s Curse and Dungeon Punks. The latter offers Cross-Buy with PS4, meaning the platform gets a total of four freebies.
All of these games go free on Tuesday, November 7 and will be available until December 5. You still have time to claim October’s PS Plus games if you haven’t already done so. Games like Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain and Amnesia Collection are free right now, with a bonus title–PSVR game RIGS–also available until November 7. You can also now take advantage of the latest batch of PS4 weekly deals, which include some nice offers for PS Plus members in particular.

With Season 2 of Stranger Things now on Netflix, everyone is talking about the world of the Upside-Down, and that includes the WWE. This past Tuesday on Smackdown Live, Tyler Breeze and Fandango, better known as the tag team Breezango, parodied Stranger Things during their weekly comedic segment “The Fashion Files.”
In the video, Fandango and Tyler Breeze are joined by The Ascension and Tye Dillinger as they appear as the characters Jim Hopper, Eleven, and Barb from Stranger Things. Breezango is on a mission to find their next tag team opponents, and much like hit Netflix series, it gets a little spooky and mysterious.
Recently, the team has parodied the Blair Witch Project, Pulp Fiction, and Reservoir Dogs on the Tuesday night program, but their biggest hit of the year came from their segment titled “Fashion Peaks,” a Twin Peaks parody, which gained national attention. The duo thought that reaction was pretty cool, when we talked to them at a WWE 2K18 event last month.
“People like it, you know, it brings an outside audience that kinda draws their attention to, ‘What are these guys doing?'” Fandango told GameSpot. “Whether they see the clip on YouTube or whatever. Even, actually, the main actor from Twin Peaks… They get it. They think it’s cool that we’re kinda spoofing them.”
We recently had Breezango at the GameSpot office and had them create a wrestler in WWE 2K18 to take on our creation, which you can watch here. You can watch all of the second season of Stranger Things on Netflix, and we have reviews of every single episode.

Happy Halloween Week! So much is happening. Candy, the end of Daylight Saving(s), candy, Braun Strowman being beautifully and tenderly birthed from the womb of a contracting garbage truck, candy – it’s a precious parade of moments and memories!
RAW didn’t even land on Halloween this year but it, more or less, like it do, co-opted the holiday from SmackDown Live – which DID land on Halloween.
