Dark Souls publishers Bandai Namco has revealed its next game, ahead of schedule. The new title will be called Code Vein, and will be a “dungeon exploration-type, hard-action RPG”. Which seems about right for the team behind the games that made me leave teeth marks in my controller. The game will be set in a […]

Trump’s White House staff tried to use Snapchat. It went horribly wrong. The White House shared a photo of the education secretary, Betsy DeVos, during the annual Easter Egg Roll. However, they spelt her job title totally wrong. Remember, these people are in charge of a country. https://twitter.com/capitalismwitch/status/854055391424110593 Some of the responses were gorgeous. Welkum […]

It’s got to be said, a lot of the time, show hosts can be a little bit insufferable, but sometimes, just sometimes, they make you grin. And keep grinning. Giggle almost. Well, in case you didn’t know, James Corden hosts a Late Late Show, and often does a thing called Drop the Mic, where he […]

At the Star Wars Celebration last week, it was revealed that a new book, called Inferno Squad, will reveal and set up the characters and plot for Battlefront II. The book itself will take place after Rogue One, after the Rebels successfully humiliated the Empire by stealing the Death Star plans. The publisher’s description read: […]

Long-time, no mods, am I right? Having recently downloaded Fallout 4 again, after culling my mod list to oblivion, I found it only right that I then have a good look at some of the best of the best that’s out on the Nexus. So, this week, we’re going to be looking at two things, […]

They really need a different title for that, one that doesn’t take millennia to type out. So, after celebrating its 1 million milestone, it seemed only fit I dive in and see what the fuss is about. What I discovered was… oddly addictive. For those of you who don’t know, PUBG is a battle-royale game. […]

In case you weren’t aware, Dawn of War is arguably one of the most revered and respected RTS franchises ever. The first came out in the early 2000s, and was incredibly well received. It brought 3D units and animations into the limelight, plunging ahead of things like StarCraft. Plus, it was really really cool. With […]

The first trailer for Battlefront II is set to release a few days from now, at the Star Wars celebration event in Orlando, but obviously, it arrived early, because the internet exists. You can watch the trailer here. It will feature battles from all eras this time around, even from the newer films. It is […]

With the diamond being the game, and the rough being the pit that Day-Z and H1Z1 made. In case you’ve been living under a rock, here’s the run down. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is taking Steam by the throat and showing Daybreak (the people behind H1Z1) how it’s done. It’s received rather hefty coverage over the last […]

Yep, the guy who gave us Metal Gear Solid has shared his take on the Ghost in the Shell reboot. In an essay he wrote for Glixel, Rolling Stone’s video game outlet, he said: “The respect that the movie shows in mimicking the anime is unquestionable. As a real fan of the original works, though, […]

I’m not going to lie to you, people, I’ve got nothing this week. So here are some cute animals to keep you going through the rest of the week. I swear I’ll be more committed next week. But this week has been manic. From the diabolical Pepsi ad, to Sean Spicer, to United Airlines all […]

Yeah, it’s a weird name, just bear with us. Recently, I took a trip to Edinburgh to celebrate a year’s worth of time spent with my partner. And obviously, wherever you go, you use that as an excuse to pig the heck out and eat a quarter kilogram of pork everyday. (HA. Pig pun.) It’s […]

Do we even need to say anything sarky? Basically, an NRA employee has accidentally shot himself during a firearms training session at their headquarters. The 46-year-old man apparently discharged a pistol accidentally, whilst putting it in his holster at the National Firearms Museum in Virginia. No one has been charged for it (because it was […]

The first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok has arrived! As expected, it will follow the storyline of Planet Hulk, where Hulk is on a distant planet, forced to fight in gladiatorial combat, but the focus is likely to be on Thor, obviously. Thor’s hammer is broken at the beginning of the trailer by a new foe, Loki […]

Marvel’s vice president of sales has comment on the declining sales of comic books, blaming the studio’s efforts at diversifying their character roster. In recent years Marvel has expanded its wealth of diverse characters. They made Iceman gay, Thor is now a woman, and they made the new Spider-Man mixed race. But maybe that’s the […]

How? How do they do it? Hacks? Mods? So the last of the Dark Souls 3 DLC came out the other day, and already someone has beaten the game’s hardest boss taking zero damage, without dodging, and didn’t wear any armour. Oh, and they were at soul level 1. Meaning they haven’t levelled up at all. Which is even […]

Marvel has announced that The Defenders, the show that will combine all of the Netflix Marvel heroes and mash them into one series, will be coming this August. We knew it was in the works but the show has officially been confirmed for 18th August. The show will see returning stars Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter, Mike […]

Valve, creators of Steam, the world’s most popular gaming store for PC, has added a new feature to help players crack down on fake or genuinely awful titles. Totalbiscuit, YouTube’s go-to game critic, recently did a video after going to Valve HQ, and talked about the newest way to grade and critique games on Steam, […]

Due to some rather late nights and a terrible sleeping pattern it completely slipped my mind that yesterday was in fact a Wednesday, and we missed the Blues story. I know you’re all shocked and I do apologise. But I had an idea. What do we do when we sleep? We dream. And when we […]

It’s under the radar, but people are becoming increasingly excited, as we get closer to the launch of State of Decay 2, from Undead Labs. In a recent blog post they shared with us some details as to how the world would be different from the first game. The biggest change would be the upcoming […]

Having recently reached the milestone of 10,233 games being funded through Kickstarter, it wouldn’t be right if we didn’t mention some of the real gems that this site has given us. People have this misconception of Kickstarted video games. That the developers are just looking for cash, but nope. Some of these games genuinely kick […]

It’s not often I come across a game I can’t define. A game that really shakes up my Jimmies, and completely subverts my idea of what to expect in a story or characters. So here we go; a look at the weird and wonderful, brutal and binary world that is Nier: Automata. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD […]

A former Odeon Cinema which was built way back when in the 1930s collapsed last night just after 11pm. A bus shelter was crushed underneath the building, however no one was injured during the collapse. The actual demolition was vacant, and luckily, no one was in need of a bus. The Health and Safety Executive […]

Maybe? Insomniac Games, makers of Ratchet and Clank, and of the upcoming Spider-Man game, have claimed it will be out this year, according to the vice president and executive editor of Marvel Digital Media, Ryan Penagos. The first trailer for the game was released last year, but very few details have been shared since then. […]

Titanfall 2’s next big content patch is coming soon, entitled ‘Colony Reborn’. The free update will add a new map from the first Titanfall, a new weapon, the R-101 and the Curb Check execution. You can also now buy a couple more cosmetic items, to make your titan the prettiest on the battlefield. There will […]

Whether official or not, it looks as though Call of Duty might be going back to WW2, and Destiny 2 is in the works. So, Call of Duty first. While nothing has been officially announced, an image appeared on Twitter the other day that looks pretty official. Pretty dam exciting that it's looking like Call […]

Been a while since we’ve had a good laugh at something dumb and light, you know? Just a bit of light-hearted humour to lessen the impact of current events. So, Ronaldo has recently had a statue to commemorate the fact that he exists; apparently he’s a footballer or something. We non-sports fans are perplexed. It’s […]

Make your mind up, people. For goodness’ sake. In case you didn’t hear, we recently ran a story that Outlast 2 would be refused release in Australia, due to the nature of the content in the game. However, after a press release by 18point2, Australia’s Outlast 2 publisher, there has been some light shed upon […]

Seriously. Viagra isn’t taxed and tampons are. The heck, people? It has been revealed that girls miss or skip classes due to not being able to afford sanitary items like tampons and pads. It has also been shown that it is primarily low-income families that are affected. The Education Secretary, when asked in Parliament, said […]

Ubisoft has announced some changes to the DLC coming for Watch Dogs 2, along with outlining some of the free stuff coming this year. What was previously announced as the No Compromise DLC will no longer include the Showdown mode, which will be a 2v2 multiplayer “endgame challenge for experienced players.” You can read the […]

Sometimes some people just don’t get it, do they? This week, Orange is the New Black star Samira Wiley and writer for the show Lauren Morelli tied the knot on the shoe that is life-long commitment, and people were simply swooning over it. WOW they look gorgeous — who is you, chiron? (@99sAndThe2000s) March 26, […]

Oh boy:  Yes folks, the new Spider-Man: Homecoming trailer is here and it looks like Spidey is back on form. Tom Holland will reprise his role as the web-slinger, over from Civil War, with actor Robert Downey Jr. returning as Tony Stark, in a mentor role for Peter. Things look tense between our favourite spandex-clad […]

Y’know what sucks about hospitals? The lack of things to do, staring at the ceiling, bored. Especially for children’s wards – think of how boring it must be for younger people in a hospital. TV costs money, and there’s never anything on worth watching. So the solution? Donating consoles. Children at the Seattle Children’s Hospital […]

Cast your mind back six years. A nuclear meltdown at the plant in Fukushima was triggered by a 9.0 magnitude earthquake and tsunami. It destroyed over one million buildings, and 18,000 people died. A further 100, 000 people were forced to evacuate, and an estimated 600 tonnes of toxic fuel was leaked during the incident. […]

You used to, you used to. (It was funnier in my head.) Drake seems to have a problem with Amsterdam, after postponing the same gig for the third time in the last three months, angering hundreds of fans who flew in from the UK to see him. Why they didn’t just wait to see him […]

After nearly two years of waiting, Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson is finally around the corner. To build the hype further, we have a short clip of the iconic water fight scene, redone for the remake, obviously. It’s short, sweet, and looks very in keeping with the animated movie’s original style, i.e. very […]

Mass Effect: Andromeda has soared to the very top of the UK physical games chart this weekend, bringing an end to Ghost Recon: Wildlands’s reign at the top.  Ubisoft’s open-world title has been called boring and only fun with friends, while Andromeda has been praised for its new combat system and world building. This reaction caused […]

Did you ever come across a story that just does wonders for blocking out the rest of the world’s problems? Yeah, this is that. Basically, sellers of the Big Issue magazine reported that they sold out of copies of the 13-19th of March editions, due to one thing. The @bigissuenorth has run out of copies […]

In case you didn’t know, Resident Evil 7 was really really good. It breathed life into a franchise that had disappeared so far up the butt of OTT action, it looked as thought it were lost. But no, RE7 was fantastic, gripping and memorable. But what made it that good? What kind of climb did […]

Finally! After the first look at Deadpool 2 we got this month, it’s finally been revealed who will play one of the film’s main characters, Cable. According to THR, Oscar-nominee Michael Shannon is currently in the running to play Deadpool’s reluctant partner. Other actors were in the running too, however, including David Harbour, who played […]

So, it’s almost Red Nose Day, where a large number of people will make a fool out of themselves for charity, all day long. You’ve probably already seen the famous Noses pop up in stores, and all proceeds go to Comic Relief. Viewers this year can expect a pretty well buffed line-up of stars, from […]

SOME SERIOUS ROGUE ONE SPOILERS While Rogue One only featured our favorite Sith Dad for a few minutes collectively, Darth Vader was originally supposed to kill off a major character at the very end of the movie. Director Krennic was supposed to have survived the blast from the Death Star at the end of the […]

Ghostbusters (2016) wasn’t exactly a massive hit with everyone. It underperformed at box office, and received some rather unfair critique, on the basis that the majority of the cast was female. Not because it just wasn’t a particularly good film. Producer Ivan Reitman, who also directed the original movie, spoke recently about the movie’s performance. […]

A busker who was recently banned from Facebook for uploading a cover of an Ed Sheeran song said she was shocked to have received a reply from the artist himself, apologising for the block. Charlotte Campbell, a 27-year-old busker and solo artist, put a teaser up for her next cover, then was blocked for three […]

After recent information that The Batman would not begin shooting until 2018, actor Joe Manganiello, who was slated to play Deathstroke, might not actually be in it. In an interview with Pittsburgh Today, he was asked if he was still part of the cast for the standalone film. His answer though, was his hands raised, […]

The Big Bang Theory will be returning for another two seasons, reports Deadline. The main stars of the incredibly popular (yet also incredibly unfunny) show will all be returning. Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Johnny Galecki and Kunal Nayyar, have all signed on for another 48 episodes of the show. This will take the […]

Not all heroes wear capes. This one just happens to fight fires. It’s a fair assumption to say that of the entire firefighting service of the US, very few are Hispanic. A fair assumption to say again that there are very few Hispanic Muslims. That’s why Twitter user Rahma (@mexicaen) has been gaining traction over […]

This does not bode well for the pants I’ll be wearing while playing it. Outlast 2, the demo for which we reviewed a few months ago, has been effectively banned in Australia, after being deemed too adult for an R18+ rating. It’s so adult that even adults shouldn’t play it. The sequel to the 2014 […]
