For Honor is a Deadliest Warrior-style historical mash-up that imagines a past in which vikings, knights and samurai had a scrap. It might make historical accuracy stickler Andy wince but it's far from the most improbable face-off we've ever seen in videogames - as we discover later in this week's Show.

Consider the titular match-up in EA's Plants vs Zombies series, for instance. Who could have guessed that in the rock-paper-scissors system of fighting zombies, plants kill zombies, zombies kill humans, and, presumably, humans kill plants? This is borne out at least by Jane's failures in houseplant care. So many dead ficuses.

The real winner though, is Lego Dimensions, which is pretty much Unlikely Match-Ups: The Game.

Our favourite is Batman going up against GLaDOS, the rogue AI from the completely separate fictional universe of Portal. As a bonus, he's simultaneously on a team with The Lego Movie's Wildstyle and Gandalf the Grey off of Lord of the Rings. Wonder what those guys talk about during mission downtime.
