Who would have thought that scream queen Jamie Lee Curtis would return to the role that made her famous 40 years later? Certainly not me, but having seen the new Halloween movie and spoken to Curtis herself about why she chose to return to the franchise, I can say that it was well worth the wait. I sat down with leading lady Curtis (watch the full interview above) to talk about Halloween and ask her what fans can expect from the upcoming movie. It has to do with something that was in my bedroom

Fallout 76 looks to be no different, too, as Bethesda takes inspiration from the state’s famous history of cryptozoology to design some of the weirdest, wackiest Fallout creatures yet. David Sibray is a historian and local expert in West Virginia folklore, and the founder of the West Virginia Explorer, a travel and history publication devoted to the mountain state itself. Since then, the monster has become a symbol of Braxton County, so you bet he’s showing up in Fallout 76. I think the Fallout

Single player has never been Battlefield’s forte. Regardless, developer DICE always provides a single player outing with each version of Battlefield that comes along, and with Battlefield 1 it introduced the emotional and finely-crafted War Stories. Now, with Battlefield 5, the War Stories are back and… whisper it… I think the creator has finally cracked single player. There’s a brilliant orchestral score, the enemies are smart, the action is well paced and… my goodness, it’s almost like DICE ha

Between the likes of The Division and Far Cry 5 , Ubisoft has released several games which feature political ideology in some way or other. However, according to Alf Condelius, COO of The Division developer Ubisoft Massive, Ubisoft “cannot be openly political” in games because it’s “bad for business.” Speaking at a recent Swedish conference (as reported by GamesIndustry ), Condelius discussed the deliberately downplayed political climates in The Division and other Ubisoft games. “It’s a balance,

In light of the news that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be around 100GB on PS4 and 88GB on Xbox One, Rockstar has announced when players can start downloading the open world western onto their consoles in advance of its October 26 launch date. You may need a new PS4 external hard drive soon, or an Xbox One external hard drive… This announcement also follows rumours that the physical edition of Red Dead Redemption 2 will arrive in the form of two discs, corroborating with what we know about the ga

It may have been all that anyone could talk about earlier this year, but the secrets of A Quiet Place are still relatively under wraps – at least until now. The star (and director) John Krasinski took to the Jimmy Kimmel show to reveal that not only was he the face that ran the place, he also played the movie’s terrifying sound-driven creature. “Nobody knows it, because I’ve kept it…,” Krasinski reveals on the talk show, before motioning he had everything under lock and key. In fact, he looks

For a project already 18 years in the making and with the likes of James Cameron and Sin City director Robert Rodriguez attached to the product, you’d think it’d be impossible to get even more excited for Alita: Battle Angel, a movie based on the manga Battle Angel Alita. Then along comes an exclusive new image from our sister publication Total Film magazine that’s high on spectacle and, of course, giant robots. Director Rodriguez talks of the “huge production” that’s been behind this movie. Whi

Reddit user MLPType1 noticed that the update also added a new unknown weapon to the Exotic heavy weapon collection page. So, with rumors of Thunderlord still in their rear-view mirrors, players went digging through Destiny 2’s files. Reddit user ImaginaryEscapism mined and shared a collection of audio files allegedly attached to the Festival of the Lost. Well, as Reddit user EthioSalvatori pointed out, Bungie released the first official gameplay video for Destiny 1 way back in 2013. With that in

When we went hands on with Red Dead Redemption 2 one of the things that made the world feel so real, more than just the usual pretty set dressing for a story, was the wildlife that skittered and skulked in every corner. Some animals can co-exist and react together but some of the animals are obviously aggressive to one another. On top of that, there’s the ecosystem surrounding scavenging and how that applies to dead animals. Gators can be a menace for the player because they’re hard to spot and

I went as the Thirteenth Doctor instead…”As the latest incarnation of the Gallifreyan icon, Whittaker is on the brink of becoming a hero and an inspiration herself. You don’t have hope if you don’t have a heart.”Let the Right One in“The original film is in my top five. If someone was to say, ‘I don’t know anything about the world of Doctor Who…’ Well, I didn’t! It has loud noise and then beautiful hills that you can sit on and look out over the whole place. “I really love being in town.

In the latest issue of our sister publication Total Film magazine, Jude Law gave us all an insight into taking on such an intimidating role. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald sees dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald escape from the Magical Congress of the United States of America, and enacts his plan to see witches and wizards dominate the muggle world. “He sees Grindelwald, his young lover who’s the love of his life; he sees him in the Mirror of Erised. Follow your heart, and really, real

The Heist, the first DLC for Spider-Man PS4 , will release on Tuesday, October 23, developer Insomniac games announced today. The Heist will kick off The City That Never Sleeps, a three-part DLC series exploring Peter Parker’s past relationship with Black Cat. The series will introduce “a whole new faction of enemies, new crimes, new challenges, new trophies, and of course, three brand new suits,” Insomniac game director Ryan Smith said on the PlayStation Blog. (From left to right: the Scarlet S

Sleeper Simulant, handily the most dominant heavy weapon in Gambit, had its aim assist reduced. Scout rifles, which Bungie quietly nerfed a few months ago, received a much-needed damage buff today. Bungie’s inexplicable nerf made scout rifles completely unusable in PvE, to the dismay of many players (such as myself). Scout rifles have more range, yes, but even with some damage dropoff, hand cannons still win in almost every scenario. The infamous Edge Transit grenade launcher, which is grossly o

Chickens are utter bastards in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey . The farm birds have always been a nuisance in video games, then, but where does this strange tradition come from? While their findings still remain up for debate, recent studies have indeed coughed up a strong scientific and anthropological basis for explaining our troubled relationship with chickens in video games. I mean, an academic paper on the ethics of human-chicken relationships in video games? The surprising nature of the Assassin

Red Dead Redemption 2 is shaping up to be the most ambitious game Rockstar has ever made. Houser said Rockstar focused on using “talented actors whose voices you don’t recognize” in Red Dead Redemption 2 in order to provide “a better sense of immersion.” Meanwhile, scenes for Red Dead Online are still being written and recorded, Houser said. Houser told Vulture that the Red Dead 2 team worked “100-hour weeks” at several points in the past year. As GamesIndustry reported, during the development o
