When Finn met Han Solo in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, he called himself “a big deal” in the Resistance. Solo saw through our favorite Stormtrooper’s act of course, but actor John Boyega says that by the time Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters, Finn really will be the thing he claimed to be. “The funny thing is, between [Star Wars] 7 and [Star Wars] 8, Finn’s now a big deal! He is now a big deal,” Boyega recently told Entertainment Weekly. Then the Falcon picked me up… Oh yeah, I knew Han S

A new trailer for the upcoming season shows Cersei ruminating, Jon Snow pontificating, and Daenerys plotting. As we find out later in the trailer her army lands at Dragonstone, which is to the east of King’s Landing. Well, in King’s Landing Cersei relies on the King’s Guard and the City Guard to do most of the fighting. She’s either here to rescue her brother Bran, or (more likely) she’s heading to Winterfell. It suggests there will be a coordinated attack on the Lannisters, where Highgarden and

Ubisoft put us in a rural violence mood with its first Far Cry 5 teaser trailers and now this teaser art is making good on it. The ministerIf previous Far Cry cover art is anything to go by, we have our main villain right here (or at least the most interesting villain, sorry Hoyt). The dogBefriending wolves was one of the best parts of Far Cry: Primal. This is a pretty strong teaser for player-controlled planes in Far Cry 5, which would be a step up from the mini-helicopter featured in Far Cry 4

The PlayStation 4’s packed-in DualShock 4 controller is a trusty, tried-and-true way to play most games. But some games make clever use of this otherwise innocuous aspect of the DS4, using the lightbar to mimic or enhance crucial gameplay information. It’s time we applauded that extra bit of effort, so here are the select few games that make the best use of the DualShock 4’s speaker and lightbar. The DS4 speaker also plays a part in your criminal escapades, letting you listen in on police radio

Lately it seems that with each passing day, we learn a little bit more about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. For instance, thanks to a new set of photos from Vanity Fair, we have our first look at Benicio del Toro and Laura Dern’s characters. We still don’t know his full name (though he goes by “DJ”), but here’s del Toro looking smouldering and rogueish. At least we know more about Laura Dern’s character, Amilyn Holdo.

Want to play Fallout 4 but never got around to it? Good news, it’s having a free weekend and a bunch of discounts. The press release says you can get up to 67%, although I’m actually seeing 70% off on the Store right now. During the free window Xbox and Steam will users be able to play all of the base game (so no DLC) and try out mods. If you want to know why you should play it then here’s our Fallout 4 review and a few Fallout 4 tips to help you make the most of the weekend.

That opening – set in a grimy building that recalls Oldboy’s famed hammer fight – is filmed almost entirely in Hardcore Henry-style first person, as an unidentified protagonist (or is it an antagonist?) uses firearms, swords, doors and anything in arm’s reach to shoot, slice and smash their way through scores of suited goons. We don’t even know whose body we’re temporarily a passenger in, only that when it comes to murder, they are a prodigy. It’s eye-wateringly violent, blood spilling by the ga

Good old fashioned Southern hospital-i-tee gets a sinister and provocatively sexy spin in Sofia Coppola’s bewitching remake of overlooked Clint Eastwood gem The Beguiled. A few years after the outbreak of Civil War young Amy (Oona Laurence) is picking mushrooms in the woods when she finds badly wounded Union soldier John McBurney (Colin Farrell) slumped against a tree. At one point Edwina is chastised for exposing the tops of her shoulders, anything further would be unthinkable in Coppola’s worl

When Game of Thrones season 7 finally gets started this summer, it’s going to move fast. Everything happened quicker than I’m used to … a lot of things that normally take a season now take one episode.”Showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff explained that this isn’t just because Game of Thrones season 7 will be shorter than the others with only seven episodes. “Things are moving faster because in the world of these characters the war that they’ve been waiting for is upon them,” showrunner Dan

Friday the 13th: The Game is giving him back his true horror stripes with a gory asymmetrical multiplayer offering. “For example, what does the world look like through the eyes of Jason Voorhees? So that’s really exciting.”Even better is the fact that you can play Jason however you want. Horror movie tropes matterIn the dev team’s quest for true authenticity, nothing was more important than making the various horror tropes of the original movies actually matter. Gun Media has also spent a long t

The Netflix like Xbox Game Pass is now live via Early Access for Gold Members, with a general release following June 1 when everyone can get involved. There’s no ‘always online’ requirement to play Game Pass games”Once a game is downloaded from the Xbox Game Pass catalog to your Xbox One, you can play the game offline so there’s no ‘always-online requirement,'” Nichols tells me. There will be new Game Pass games each monthWhile the number and amount of games “will vary month to month” you can ex

And yet… there are times when I dig Ark: Survival Evolved. You really have to cherish these endearing (if pointless) moments of survivor bonding, because Ark really is a savage beast. After parting company, I spend the following hours of solitude pondering whether Ark actually is an Xbox One game or not. And I’ve played a lot of ugly games. I absolutely do not hate Ark: Survival Evolved.

It’s time to feel the need for speed – again. Top Gun 2, with Tom Cruise as Maverick is a real, actual thing. They say never go back, but, come on, a second trip to the Danger Zone is just too good to turn down. WORLDWIDE EXCLUSIVE: @TomCruise just confirmed that Top Gun 2 is happening! #sun7 pic.twitter.com/X17xvxz4Q4May 23, 2017Cruise confirmed on Australia’s Sunrise on 7 that Top Gun 2 would be happening.

The final trailer for Spider-Man: Homecoming is amazing. Take all of the best bits from the previous trailers, add in a sprinkle of Donald Glover, a dash of a new Vulture action scene, and a generous helping of new Stark gizmos (including a Spider-Parachute!) Spidey, though, gets ambitions above his superhero station which, somewhat inevitably, ends in a crushed treehouse and screaming children. As for the new stuff, Donald Glover pops up out of the blue – just who could he be playing? – Vulture

Congratulations: you live in the reality where Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle is a real thing. According to previous leaks, Kingdom Battle is a turn-based RPG with two-player co-op, and it’s headed to Nintendo Switch in either August or September. Ubisoft was probably saving this game for a surprise reveal at it or Nintendo’s E3 event. We may still have to wait that long to find out why everybody has laser cannons, though, so the surprise isn’t completely ruined. And make sure you pencil in all

Dragon’s Dogma is a Capcom RPG that, while not a runaway success, certainly has its fans. And I guarantee you’ll be hearing from those fans in light of this news: Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen is coming to PS4 and Xbox One this fall. In case you missed it the first time around, or the second time (when it was re-released as Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen which included a new zone, mechanics, and all previous DLC included), or the third time (when it came to PC), here’s the deal:Dragon’s Dogma mixes i

The Overwatch Anniversary Event is live now and there’s something in it for you whether you’ve been playing since day one or are new to the world of payload pushing. The skins are legendary, the arcade modes are well thought-out, and the dances are plentiful. Elimination gets a serious boostBack in the old days we had two Elimination modes and one Elimination map and we were happy, dagnabbit. These new maps and modes will remain accessible even after the Anniversary Event is over. The Overwatch

Game of Thrones may just be “tits and dragons” according to some, but to others, it’s helped inspire and usher in an age of supreme fantasy nerdiness. Of course, Game of Thrones likely wouldn’t be quite the cultural phenomenon if not for the groundwork laid by the classics: Conan the Barbarian, Lord of the Rings, and perhaps most directly, Dungeons & Dragons. The parallels are so strong, in fact, that I thought it’d be fun to transpose characters from Game of Thrones into Dungeons & Dragons 5th

It’s all leaning on Finn in a casual, ‘Have you met my boyfriend?’ Well, as far as these fans (and Tumblr) are concerned, yes it does…Big day for Tumblr: pic.twitter.com/KpGZ8UJAbaMay 23, 2017a new star wars pic appears with Poe leaning on Finn. Finn & Poe = 😁😁😁😁2. FUCK pic.twitter.com/EZhIKoTpRKMay 23, 2017Poe and Finn are officially a couple. Here’s everything you need to know about The Last Jedi and the 10 questions we have after watching the latest trailer.

So what do the star and director of 2017’s Wonder Woman think of the actress and the vision that defined Diana of Themyscira in the ’70s? The Wonder Woman that is being introduced – reintroduced – now is different [but] she has a lot of the qualities Lynda Carter brought to the Wonder Woman character of ’75.” “I think she was such a beautiful embodiment of Wonder Woman,” Jenkins said. Personally, I wasn’t even born by the time the Wonder Woman TV show came to an end, so I don’t have any real att
