It seems the Christmas spirit is alive and well at Microsoft and Amazon; they’re currently offering 12 months of Xbox Game Pass for $69.99 / £47.99 . It doesn’t seem like it’ll be around for long, either – the listing says it’ll end on Friday 21st December 2018. The Xbox Game Pass is basically gaming’s version of Netflix. Just be aware that some games also need Xbox Live Gold in order to function. To keep an eye on new additions, visit our dedicated Xbox Game Pass page.

The first Captain Marvel trailer teased us with Brie Larson, Nick Fury and, um, elder abuse, the second gives us a better introduction to who the captain is. “Your life began the day it nearly ended,” a Kree matriarch, played by Annette Bening, tells Captain Marvel. We still have questions – lots of Captain Marvel questions – like the cause of the crash that led to her rebirth as Captain Marvel, and just who Jude Law is playing. Most importantly we got to see Chewie the cat, who was teased in th

Fallout 76 version 1.0.2.0 will arrive tomorrow, Tuesday, December 4, with a raft of changes in tow. The headlining change is a 50 percent buff to stash space, which is being raised to 600 pounds. Another key change is way down at the bottom of the patch notes: an AFK timer which will automatically kick you from your current server if you’re idle for 10 minutes. A one-minute warning will pop up before you’re kicked, but you’ll still want to keep track of any AFK time. You can read the full patch

Red Dead Online is off to a pretty good start, but one complaint keeps coming up: making money often feels like an uphill battle. Luckily, Rockstar says improvements to Red Dead Online’s economy are on the way, with updates scheduled to roll out for the Red Dead Online beta “as early as the end of this week.” This will be Red Dead Online’s first major update, and it’s desperately needed. Red Dead Online is still in early beta and will undoubtedly see plenty of changes in the coming weeks. Here a

Spider-Man PS4 was praised as an instant superhero classic when it came out in September, and now you can get it for a third off the normal price just a few months later. The open-world game of slinging webs, cracking wise, and smacking goons off of rooftops (non-fatally) is currently available for $39.99 (save $20) on Amazon . That’s the lowest official price it’s ever seen on the online retailer, and it’s a heck of a deal for the newest contender on our list of the best PS4 exclusives . Spider

It even weaves in footage from the octogenarian actor’s old movies, back when he was a kid and the sun danced in his hair. That such a technique, married to desaturated 16mm images, doesn’t make The Old Man and the Gun a fossil trapped in amber is testament to its breezy style and ebullient emotions. And so damn charming it makes your heart twinkle like Redford’s eyes. But make no mistake: this is Redford’s (last picture) show, and it serves a glorious goodbye. We can only hope that he changes h

That’s the tricky question Razer Raiju Ultimate finds itself needing to answer when appealing to the PS4 crowd.

Batman: Arkham Knight developer Rocksteady Studios working on a Superman game has been one of the most persistent games industry rumors in recent memory, but it’s finally met its kryptonite. Spoiler: it’s not Superman 😳November 30, 2018Arkham Knight was Rocksteady’s most recent big project, which came out way back in June 2015. It also put out Batman: Arkham VR in October 2016, but that was a much smaller game than the free-roaming superheroics with which Rocksteady made its name. Since then, fo

The Holiday is a great Christmas movie – so great, in fact, that my mum and I watch it every year without fail. If you’re not all trying to be Mr. Napkinhead ’round the dinner table this Christmas, you’re doing it wrong. Sam LoveridgeA Charlie Brown ChristmasI’m torn between National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (“Oh, the silent majesty of a winter’s morn… the clean, cool chill of the holiday air… an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer…”) and A Charlie Brown Chr

After a lukewarm (and in some cases, downright negative) response to Batman v Superman and Justice League, you’d be forgiven for not being overly excited about Aquaman. It was clear how much fun the cast had making the film when I spoke to them recently ahead of the release of Aquaman, and they had plenty to say about the challenges of making the movie, as well as their favorite moments. “It took a lot of planning,” Wan laughs when I quiz him about how he made the underwater scenes so realistic.

If you’re still looking to score a new PS4 console before Christmas, and you happen to be in the market for a new mobile phone… well, we’ve got good news for you. Oh, and you need to be getting a Sony phone on your contract, but they’re actually decent mobiles, so it’s worth considering. The offer is available in the UK only, and you have a choice of four different Sony Xperia phones, with plans starting from £19 per month. There’s no up-front cost here, so you’re looking at £924 for the entir

Who knew it was possible to be a little Assassin’s Creed starstruck? If it’s not clear from the title, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey’s first gory slice of DLC, Legacy of the First Blade, is all about the iconic weapon that you don’t even get a sniff of in Ancient Greece. This is the same group of proto-Templar masked murderers that Bayek hunts down in Assassin’s Creed Origins hundreds of years later. “A seriously confident beginning to what could be a vital cog in the Assassin’s Creed story.” This is

We can’t have that canine perishing so soon, even on a show as grisly and grim as The Walking Dead. Remember, this is all because of Daryl’s dog first appearing post-time jump in The Walking Dead season 9, episode 7 and stealing our hearts. Now, the milestone has been set: 55,000 signatures and maybe, just maybe, The Walking Dead writers will sit up and take notice. The current total as of writing is 53,240 so there’s not much more to go until the Walking Dead dog petition (I can’t believe I’m t

Look closer and the word ‘hype’ starts to seem slippery. In this context, the weighting of the word hype depends merely on whether you liked the films. In another sense, isn’t hype a potentially positive force? And yes, hype isn’t exactly always the most nuanced measure of merit. It’s because when films as (largely) thrilling as Hereditary or Mandy land, you want the hype to roar a little, not whisper.

Razer’s 2018 refresh of its Mamba gaming mouse is a welcome iteration on an already strong peripheral. While I’m normally wary of wireless mice for gaming, the Mamba performs extremely well and with no perceptible lag.

The Elder Scrolls Blades has been delayed, proving that It’s the most wonderful time of the year for family, warm drinks, and games with vague release dates to sheepishly confirm they’re not coming out yet. Bethesda revealed on the series’ official Twitter account that The Elder Scrolls Blades is now planned to hit mobile devices sometime in early 2019. The Elder Scrolls: Blades will release in Early 2019 for iOS and Android devices. We are incredibly excited for you to play Blades and you can s

Tech company Shadow wants to pull off the ultimate gamer magic trick, giving you all the power of a high-end gaming PC without the hardware. “The future of gaming, and the future of humanity of course, is the cloud,” he says. “The next gaming console will be a cloud gaming console.” What games would make cloud gaming worthwhile?
