Lost Words: Beyond The Page, the upcoming indie puzzler written by decorated Tomb Raider, Overlord and Mirror’s Edge writer and all-round literature royalty, Rhianna Pratchett, is one of the few exceptions. “I’ve come off two 18-rated Tomb Raider games,” says Pratchett, “So it’s nice to do something a bit lighter. “When we talk about diversity in games, sometimes it becomes narrowed down to needing more women in games. That’s often neglected, and I’m interested in the different stories that diff

It turns out Avengers: Endgame wasn’t always actually called Endgame. In fact Avengers: Endgame turned out to be quite a vague title… Technically, Zoe Saldana actually revealed this original title way back in 2017, but James Gunn was quick to state that it wasn’t actually the title. I don’t know that it would have achieved this kind of success had we split it up.”Want more Avengers: Endgame gossip? Why not listen to our discussion on all the biggest questions that remain after the Avengers: En

Yep, we’re out of spoiler territory now, so I can come out and say it: Captain America lifts Mjolnir. It was a huge, iconic shot, but it could have canonically happened well before than according to co-directors Joe and Anthony Russo. According to Anthony Russo, it all ties into the moment in Avengers: Age of Ultron where Cap nearly lifts Mjolnir, and worries the God of Thunder in the process. Basically, Captain America was always worthy – he just didn’t want to let anyone know until he was read

No matter how long you’ve wanted to be the very best, the best there ever was, there has never been quite the live-action Pokemon movie that we’ve always wanted. Thankfully, reviews are s

Who’d have thought the Game of Thrones season 8 Battle of Winterfell episode would be dwarfed by what comes after? Twitter users had their say on some long-awaited lovey-dovey moments, as well as the shortest game of Winterfell whispers in recorded history. Jon told Sansa and Arya; Sansa then told Tyrion; Tyrion then told Varys and… you can see where I’m going with this. #GameOfThrones Jon tells Arya and Sansa and swore them to secrecy only to let Sansa tell it to Tyrion who told it to Varys.

After the countdown ticked down, the Loot lake Fortnite vault event began. The X-4 Stormwing, Bounce Pad, Drum Gun, Grappler, Sub Machine Gun, and Infinity Blade were all on offer, and after a lot of hitting and jumping, the divisive Drum Gun won the vote.

Well, you’re in luck because Ubisoft has surprised For Honor players by adding lightsabers to its medieval world in celebration of May 4 – aka Star Wars Day. Instead of going in for an ordinary axe swing or sword lunge, your weapon will suddenly start glowing like a lightsaber to add some Star Wars flare to your battles.

So it has been with Sea Of Thieves, which has seen an uptick in player numbers ever since that recent swell of streamer interest. Sea Of Thieves’ design was always about leaving enough space for the imaginative to create something

In the beginning,” the voiceover informs, “there was… Howard the Duck!” Never forget: 1986’s HTD (aka Howard: A New Breed of Hero) was the first feature-length Marvel adap released in cinemas. And yet, I’d argue, the diminutive duck stands head and shoulders above many, many comic-book flicks. On the other hand, there is something grimly amusing about the don’t-know-when-to-stop onslaught of duck puns in Howard’s opening scene (Breeders Of The Lost Stork, Mae Nest, ad nauseam). Clearly, some a

Like all mega-popular battle royale games, Apex Legends has been dealing with a cheating problem. From run-of-the-mill aimbots to absurd movement speeds, Apex cheaters have come up with all sorts of ways to break the system. McCoy said Respawn is working to both improve cheat detection and prevent other activities like account selling and farming. Luckily, it sounds like Apex Legends’ new reporting tool has sped up this process considerably. Respawn reckons the number of matches affected by chea

Caitlin Moran is a famous author and columnist, but it turns out she’s also brilliant at inspiring tweet storms about potentially terrible endings for Game of Thrones season 8. It all started when the writer shared her own fears about Samwell Tarly’s role in the finale. Today’s biggest worry: the growing suspicion that Samwell Tarly is meant to represent George R R Martin, and the series will end with him sitting down to write up the things he has seen, then looking at the camera.May 2, 2019Game

Last year, Bohemian Rhapsody was the only film in the top 10 highest-grossing worldwide that wasn’t a franchise film/sequel or based on a comic-book. Dexter Fletcher, who overtook directing duties on Bohemian Rhapsody, is calling the shots on this one. While the film will incorporate Elton John’s biggest hits, it won’t be a standard biopic, as the director and cast tell our sister publication Total Film magazine in their new issue. on acid about Elton John,” says Madden. “On Bohemian Rhapsody, t
