The year is 2143.  The Intercontinental Earth Union is celebrating it's 50th anniversary by putting on the most anticipated Rocket League match to date, and it's a heated one.  Onlookers are devouring popcorn that tastes like if a Werther's was dipped in foie gras.  Fireworks are exploding into reruns of Dharma and Greg.  Cars are ramming into both gigantic soccer balls and each other.  It's rad.  Everything is amazing.  The future rules.  Go Earth.

It's not often that one gets to witness the eternal encroachment of darkness first-hand, to see its inky tendrils consuming all that you know and love while you stand helplessly by.  Not the way you can in Warlocks vs Shadows' new horde mode, at least.  The light, in fairness, stands its ground for as long one can hope for.  It's a doomed effort, though.  It always was and always will be.  The darkness grows ever closer, dearest readers, I can feel it caressing my fingers at night.

The Behemoth's mysterious "Game 4" finally has a name. The title shares a look and feel similar to the team's previous releases like Castle Crashers and Battleblock Theater, only now things are a little more turn-based. And strategic.
