What better way to spend this weekend than going to space? Since that’s probably a bit out of budget for most of us, though, maybe staying in and playing games is a better idea.
Primal Carnage
Get locked, loaded, and totally Triassic with class-based PVP combat – it’s MAN! VERSUS! DINOSAURS! in the ultimate survival of the fittest contest. The only thing you really need to know is that, yes, you can play as a velociraptor. The rest is just bonus.
Get it over on Steam.

And that’s when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the other two raptors you didn’t even know were there.
Natural Selection 2
Combining humans, aliens, first-person shooting, real-time strategy, and a whole lot of heavy firepower just to see what happens, Natural Selection 2 is your one-stop destination for unmitigated chaos.
It’s also out this week on Steam.
Team Fortress 2
Valve’s free-to-play FPS is doing its annual Scream Fortress Halloween thing, mixing all sorts of spooOOOooooky stuff into the game until 8 November. That includes an extra-special, extra-scary, haunted version of King of the Hill featuring a “a bomb-spewing, fate-spinning spectral magician”. Any resemblance to next week’s American presidential election is, I’m sure, quite coincidental.
