Stranger Things, Assassin’s Creed and the Rock Hall of Fame

Want to play Stranger Things, the game? If you, like us, are counting the days until season two drops on 27 October, you might want to consider downloading (without charge, we note) the official 16-bit Netflix video game, which came out over the weekend for iOS and Android. “It’s 1984 all over again. Experience an action adventure game just like the ones our heroes would have played back in the day,” the description reads. This link should get you the iOS version, while this one here should get you the Android edition. Or you can tap here to watch a 30-second trailer for the game. Oh, and get this? If you beat the game, you get a sneak preview of season two.

October 27 is also the release date for the next installment in the Assassin’s Creed game series, which — as our resident 10-year-old reminds us at least once a day — is set in ancient Egypt. The Guardian explains that game maker Ubisoft “enlisted leading Egyptologists, historians, and hieroglyphics-deciphering AI to create an authentic experience of the age of Cleopatra.”

Rage Against the Machine has been nominated for the Rock Hall of Fame. Radiohead, Bon Jovi and Judas Priest have, too. But not Soundgarden, proving there is no justice. Rolling Stone has the rundown on this year’s nominees.
