Ubisoft is giving away Assassin's Creed Unity for free via Uplay. This free game will be available only for a limited time, so be sure to grab it while you can. If you pick up the game prior to April 25 at 3AM (ET), then you will be able to keep Assassin's Creed Unity forever without having to pay a dime.

This move by Ubisoft is being done in response to the recent fire at the Notre-Dame de Paris. As Unity takes place in Paris, it is actually possible to go "visit"...

It's a marathon filled weekend, because we have another one to tell you about. The European Speedrunner Assembly (ESA) is holding the aptly named ESA Summer 2018 marathon this week. Starting today and in the days ahead, a bunch of speedrunners from all over will be running games in an effort to raise money for Save the Children.

The event started earlier today and is expected to wrap up on Saturday, July 28. Now here is where things get interesting. ESA has not one but two streams...

Another Mario Marathon is upon us and you know what that means? That's right, it's time to play a ton of Mario all to raise money for the Child's Play Charity.

This year, the team is doing things a bit differently. Instead of playing a bunch of different Mario games, they have instead opted to go for an 880 Moon run of Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch. This also seems to mean that instead of running games for roughly an entire week, they will instead wrap up the marathon...

From now until July 20th, you will get to experience the highs and somewhat less highs that are the Legend of Zelda games, courtesy of The Zelda Dungeon Marathon 2018. This marathon sees a bunch of Zelda games being run all in the name of charity.

The Zelda Dungeon Marathon will donate all of the money raised during their event to Extra Life. The group has kindly set up a little look at what to expect during the marathon. This list is not comprehensive by any means, so consider...

This past week, Summer Games Done Quick 2018 (SGDQ) was busy raising money for Doctors Without Borders. Throughout most of the week, the community that is primarily made up of speed runners, managed to pull in a bit over $1 million (USD). It wasn't until the final 24 hours that another $1 million was raised to bring the total to around $2.1 million for Doctors Without Borders. Significant portions of this $2.1 million figure came from revenue earned through Twitch subscriptions ($177,338),...

Before we get into the details about the game, which is essentially Desert Bus but in VR, it should be noted that the annual Desert Bus for Hope charity marathon raised $650,250 over 158 hours of bus driving last week. The money will be going to the Child's Play cha...

Last month, WB Games and Monolith announced that they would be donating to the family of Mike Forgey, the former Executive Producer at Monlith. Forgey sadly passed away after a battle with brain cancer. Monolith said that all proceeds from the $3.50 Forthog DLC would be donated to the Forgey family. Well, the wording got a little muddled. The donations were only "confirmed" for most of the United States. Due to laws in other regions, including those "excluded" states, they couldn't ju...
