Carrie Fisher is a star that will never be extinguished. Star Wars: The Last Jedi will make that abundantly clear during her turn in movie, but there is also a separate, simple tribute to the much-missed Leia tucked away. If you don’t want anything spoiled, feel free to look away now (though it is the most minor of minor spoilers, in case you were wondering). After the main cast credits have rolled, though, Fisher gets one final moment in the spotlight. If you want more in the way of celebrating

Make no mistake, Christmas is all well and good – but it’s got nothing on the Star Wars: The Last Jedi release week. If you’re not already excited, then check out these reactions to how they fit in personal Star Wars rankings. They range from the greatest Star Wars movie ever (OMG! Rian Johnson pulled it off, making what might be the best Star Wars movie ever. This movie feels unlike any other Star Wars movie in all the ways I hoped.

And boy, is The Walking Dead season 8, episode 8, How it’s Gotta Be, an absolute doozy. Nope, instead this is the point where people will really start to question, is this really the best The Walking Dead has to give? But it seems it’s actually AMC that’s using him as the sacrificial lamb to help save its doomed series. It’s the biggest deviation from The Walking Dead comics so far, which serves as a glimmer of hope that The Walking Dead might, one day, be able to redeem itself. Despite all my h

Writing is one-way communication and I have no idea who you are or what you’re doing at any given – oh, you’ve finished emptying them? And it’s time we – or more accurately I, alone, in my capacity as a Renowned Fixer of Game Problems – fixed it. The ProblemThere are a variety of types of inventory in games, and they are all terrible to some degree. The SolutionMany games have attempted to supplant the tyranny of inventory screens with their own systems, but with little success. Interestingly, t

Of course, ET would introduce the world to future superstar Drew Barrymore, who plays Elliot’s annoyingly cute little sister Gertie. But, to be honest, I actually think playing a mother is one of the easiest things an actress can do. I like to work like that anyway so shooting ET was just a dream.”Naturally, ET himself had to stand out. Although Rambaldi would only fleetingly work after ET, his death in August 2012 served to remind the general public of his most famous accomplishment. When I was

Potent though Gibson’s movie was, it surprised precisely no one when Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk turned out to be a more rigorous, restrained, tightly wound take on the war movie. A nerve’s-edge sense of mid-action tension is set as anxious soldiers in Dunkirk, 1940, watch pamphlets fall around them. The street-wide framing hints at a controlled POV that’s then shattered as enemy gunfire erupts from out of eye-shot. The survivor is Fionn Whitehead’s Tommy, though he barely scrapes it to safety a

If that describes you (and you have a PlayStation VR or are willing to spend the money on one), good news: there’s a Last Guardian VR experience coming to PS4 on December 12. The Last Guardian VR is referred to as a “demo,” but don’t go getting any ideas about a bigger project in the works. “The Last Guardian VR Demo is a short experience, and it is standalone,” he writes. In fact, you don’t even need to own The Last Guardian either – the experience is completely free. Still, to do that with the

“This is Alan’s home – I’m just living in it,” someone says in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, in reference to the character Robin Williams played in the 1995 original. Gone is director Joe Johnston, whose seat behind the camera is now filled by Bad Teacher’s Jake Kasdan. Even Jumanji’s different this time around: the arcane board game of Johnston’s movie has now morphed into an Atari-style videogame. (At one point Black gives Gillan tips on how to ape a sexpot seductress.) Complete every level

Sea of Thieves, the next game from Rare – studio behind such classics as Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, and GoldenEye 007 – will set sail for Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs on March 20. In Sea of Thieves’ case, pre-ordering will get you access to the closed beta, as well as the Black Dog Pack. There’s no word on when the closed beta will begin, but we can at least shed some light on the Black Dog extras. If you’re just getting caught up to speed, yes, Sea of Thieves could be summed up as “a p

Hold onto your capes, because a new report claims that Ben Affleck is on his way out of the DC cinematic universe. Variety’s sources claim this means not only some shuffling of executives, but the departure of Affleck as Batman. After being hailed as one of the better parts of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Affleck was set to star as The Dark Knight in a standalone film (simply dubbed “The Batman”). Batman is the coolest f-ing part in any universe… I’m so excited to do it. But now we’re b

More than ten years later, it still hasn’t been topped: Resident Evil 4’s opening remains the yardstick by which all others must be measured. So why, then, given the advancements in technology and game design since, have we seen nothing to match it? This isn’t simply a case of changing tastes or emerging trends in game design, however. As time passes, it increasingly feels as if Resident Evil 4 might’ve been bottled lightning: a perfect confluence of timing and talent never to be recreated. 11 y

There’s a brand new bit of Exotic gear to be grabbed thanks to the new Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris DLC, and it’s got a different name depending on what class you are. The new Exotic gauntlets are all called Aeon something, with Titans getting Aeon Safe, Warlocks getting Aeon Soul and Hunters getting Aeon Swift. With the Aeon gauntlets equipped, any Guardian who performs a specific task will give your fellow Fire Team members a buff. If Hunters dodge, Titans summon a barricade or Warlocks throw a

Just a week to go until Star Wars: The Last Jedi is in theaters! Person A: “I like the first Star Wars.” While the original film from 1977 was originally titled simply ‘Star Wars’, it was later amended to be known as Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. CONS: Jumping back and forth across the timeline might be fine for those well-versed in Star Wars, but it’s also a bit confusing. Instead of a standard hero’s journey from nobody to champion, Star Wars becomes a tale of an established hero passing

There are so many things we didn’t get to see at Sony’s E3 conference in June 2017, which felt like an impressive, if slightly curious, holding-pattern. Rachel WeberWhat: The PlayStation ExperienceWhere: Anaheim, California but you can watch onlineWhen: The PlayStation Presents show starts at 8:00pm Pacific Time Friday night3. First off, we’re going back to Isla Nublar, the island from the Spielberg classic and the functioning (for a while) theme park from Jurassic World. Lauren O’CallaghanWhat:

After three years of build-up as one of the most important characters in Vanguard history, you might be forgiven for finding Osiris’ return in his self-titled expansion – The Curse of Osiris – a tad underwhelming. But that doesn’t mean that all of that delicious lore has been wasted. Beaten, battered, and on his last legs, he finally took out their Kell by shattering its skull with a single headbutt. Whatever else Saint-14 might have had stashed in his Consumables inventory, he did not have a sh

Hearthstone’s Kobolds & Catacombs expansion went live today, so you’re probably already deep into Dungeon Run and ready to share your thoughts on the new metagame. In the latest of our charts with the Hearthstone team about Kobolds & Catacombs we found out more about the new loot, treasures and those pretty pretty spellstones. That was the kernel for our Legendary Weapons. We really wanted to capture that fantasy in the game.” When it came to picking some Legendary Weapons for Kobolds & Catacomb

George LucasCameoed in: Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the SithHe created the entire Star Wars saga – George Lucas is the man behind the magic. And after 28 years behind the camera, he finally decided to give himself a cameo in the galaxy far, far away. Working as a special effects designer in the galaxy far, far away, he later went on to design Boba Fett’s iconic outfit. Jett LucasCameoed in: Star Wars: Episode 2 – Attack of the Clones and Star Wars: Episode 3 – Revenge of the SithOne of the

You’d be forgiven for thinking you never want to see another Star Wars: The Last Jedi teaser for as long as you live. They’ve all sort of jumbled into one big hotchpotch of Jedi japes, and Porgs, haven’t they? Which begs the question: how crazy is The Last Jedi going to be? It beggars believe that the Star Wars marketing team would spoil such a great visual, one that would’ve made me genuinely gasp while watching it, at the end of a throwaway teaser filled with recycled material. (PS: I am so, s
