James Wan made a name for himself in the horror genre, directing films like Saw, Insidious , and The Conjuring . “Let’s face it, [Aquaman is] the superhero that everyone makes fun of,” Wan tells our sister publication Total Film magazine. “I love [horror]. I just became somewhat synonymous with it, so that people had a harder time seeing me for anything else outside of horror,” Wan says. “I just wanted to prove that I’m not just a horror filmmaker, I’m a filmmaker, period.”

Buying an Xbox One bundle , picking up an Xbox Live Gold subscription , and maybe even signing up for Xbox Game Pass can be a lot to manage for potential new players. But if reports are accurate, Xbox All Access will make the whole thing a lot simpler very soon. Either way, the console will be yours to keep after the two-year payment plan is over, though then you’ll have to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass like normal. First, here’s how much the two subscriptions would cost at standard

Our world may be far from the android-filled future of Detroit: Become Human, but as research and funding grows, it could one day become our reality. The biggest theme in Detroit: Become Human is how androids are treated by the humans around them. At one point, the game even takes a controversial stab at how androids develop and adopt their very own civil rights movement. Futurist and renowned AI author, Martin Ford sees this depiction as something that could potentially happen in the future. Ot

The studio behind the ingenious ‘swipe-‘em-ups’ Reigns and Reigns: Her Majesty has applied its talents to Game of Thrones with a battle for that spiky iron chair, and it sounds like a match made in heaven. Reigns: Game of Thrones game will keep its deceptively simple mechanic – swipe left or right to make crucial decisions about your citizens, army, and royal coffers – but let you play as characters like Cersei Lannister, Jon Snow, Daenerys Targaryen, Tyrion Lannister and Sansa Stark. In other w

FrightFest 2018 is happening in London this weekend. Honestly there are a few different ways this could go, and I’m not going to know until it happens. I will begin this catalogue of grotesqueries on Friday, the first full-length day of FrightFest 2018, at whatever point I find myself able. I’ll try to vanquish any eldritch distractions as swiftly as possible but, well, you know how it is. In the meantime, you can check out the upcoming horror movies we’re excited for here, and take a look at th

Well, finally, we have an answer, from our recent Gamescom talks with several members of Bungie. “The weapon Mods you have now, they basically alter the elemental damage that that weapon does. “But the Mods for the weapons going forward will be things that change the way they work in a fight. And at that point, do with them what you will.”But don’t worry if you have more Mods than you need and a busting inventory (at this point, don’t we all?). Save time, dismantle Mods now, but make sure you us

Yesterday’s show, which you can catch up on here, featured appearances from Destiny 2, Two Point Hospital, and – now that it’s been fully revealed – Man of Medan, the first scheduled title in Supermassive Games’ new anthology horror series for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. As expected, the branching, choice-and-consequence focused narrative of Until Dawn also remains very much intact, aa Heaton promised that it’ll be “very very difficult” to finish Man of Medan with every cast member still breathing. O

Sure, we’ve already got plenty of Fortnite tips but what you really want are some pointers from the pros. People like Tommy and Adam from Two Angry GamersSo we got Tommy and Adam in the studio for our Gamescom After Dark show to play a few rounds, and see what advice they might have for the aspiring Victory Royal hopefuls. You can obviously watch them play and chat in the video, but their key tip overall for Fortnite is to get good at building. So practising that is key to success for the Two An

The most requested feature in Fortnite is finally here: the ability to thank the battle bus driver before you jump. Okay, maybe not the number one feature, but someone called Kody Keddie created a change.org petition called “Add the ability to thank the bus driver before jumping out of the battle bus in Fortnite” and apparently Epic listened. Originally the petition read:”Since I was just a boy I have always loved jumping out of the battle bus but all this time I have felt something was missing.

Where did it all go wrong for The Happytime Murders? Well, wouldn’t you just know it, the critics have been scathing about this movie. In fact, the only funny thing you’ll get from this movie might just be the critics’ reactions. Instead, Henson has given us the worst movie of the summer — and quite possibly the worst of the year thus far. The Happytime Murders tries so desperately hard to push the envelope of indecency that it crosses into the realm of being astonishingly unfunny.

You can see the blink and you’ll miss it cameo for yourself at the 0:54 mark in the video below. Was this an unintentional confirmation that a PlayStation 4 port of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is actively in the works? Or is Bluehole cheekily teasing an impending announcement for PS4 fans, after years of prevaricating on the subject of bringing PUBG to the console? Should we start preparing our frying pans for PS4, or take this all with a healthy hint of salt? For more battle royale, check out

And from the footage we’ve seen so far, The Predator will feature Black’s trademark humorous streak, as well as some distinctly R-rated violence.

While we’re spoilt babies who want more

As Dark Pictures is an anthology series, the tale I’m about to embark on – Man of Medan – is just one of the narratives available. No sooner have I selected the ‘rational’ option, the narrator tries to convince me that even though I’ll try to do what’s “right”, there is no right or wrong in Dark Pictures. When I begin, I’m now accompanied by Brad right from the very beginning. Dark Pictures has reeled me in with an intriguing mystery in its first episode, but something tells me the consequences

That’s all set to change, with Tom Hardy playing Eddie Brock (and his snarling symbiote side) in Sony’s upcoming standalone movie. “For me, it was the multiple personalities, because to play that, on a kind of epic level, a superhero level, that was the big draw,” he tells Total Film. He’s not a good guy, and he’s not a bad guy.’ He’s connected to this alien who’s not from this planet. “Tom brings so much complexity, and I would say danger, to the roles and characters he plays,” he tells Total F
