The Thursday letters page considers the hidden costs of Xbox Game Pass, as one reader imagines The Elder Scrolls TV show. To join in with the discussions yourself email [email protected] The perfect enemy news about Dead Island 2 made me realise two things 1) I don’t care about Dead Island 2 anymore and 2) zombies have finally started to die out as the must-have video game villain.

Not only were they riding the wave of general popularity in movies and TV, but the one thing video games always need is a human-like enemy that you can kill by the dozen and not feel bad about.

The charges related to the alleged sexual assault of four victims, three of which the Sun-Times said were between 13 and 16 years old. A Chicago judge signed off on a warrant for the R&B singer's arrest. The Class 2 felony charge carries a three- to seven-year sentence in the state of Illinois.
