AGO games has announced that its new Final Fight/Double Dragon-esque fighting title: The Asskickers, is available now for$4.99!

“We’ve been playing close attention to the ongoing economic debacle in Washington. It’s really too bad that the people don’t have someone like The Asskickers in real life. Someone who could have jumped up, kicked some political ass and got the wealthy and the politicians to work together for the benefit of the people,” said Stanislas Berton, president of AGO Games. “The Asskickers is about a people standing up to corruption. So, in honor the fact that the bickering US politicians were finally able to do what was best for the American public and work together, we decided to cut the price of our game in half.”

The Queen Mary has announced that its Dark Harbor haunted event will be returning to Long Beach for another Halloween season. This year, Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor will run on various dates starting from October 7 through October 31. Please check the full schedule below and over at the event’s official website.

“The Queen Mary is often cited as one of the most haunted places in the world,” said paranormal expert and ship guide Erika Frost. “This gives the event an atmosphere unlike any theme-park haunt. For instance, one of the mazes crosses the first-class swimming pool where many visitors claim to have encountered a little girl wandering around searching for her doll or mommy. Or, if they haven’t seen her, they’ve reportedly heard her.”

Dark Harbor Nights in October
7, 8, 9
14, 15, 16
