We do not deserve Media Molecule. Hands on with Dreams , the dazzling game and toy box of artistic tools, it’s immediately clear that my talents are not worthy of its potential. Navigating, playing and creating in the world of Dreams is so intuitive, it’s almost hard to capture it in something as crude as a bunch of sentences. I almost need to make you a Dreams level to explain how great Dreams is. There’s a special satisfaction that comes with falling to your death (or whatever the gentle Media

The majority of this mid-season episode concerns itself with Maeve’s group and their foray into the dangerous and very different Shogun World. A semi-standalone episode, Akane no Mai is beautiful and traumatising in equal measure, and it injects some much needed vitality into Westworld season 2 .

You probably still haven’t recovered yet from Avengers: Infinity War, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t desperate to pick up the Blu-ray release, right? Not only has Marvel jumped the gun by announcing the release date early, there’s also a batch of exclusive editions to get excited about too. The Amazon UK listing for Infinity War doesn’t have a set release day. According to the now sadly deleted tweets showcasing both Best Buy and Target’s special Infinity War Blu-ray releases, there’s a seriou

I have good news and bad news about Resident Evil 7. Capcom’s critically adored re-imagining of the Resident Evil series, which originally released for PC, PS4, and Xbox One in 2017, is finally coming to Nintendo Switch. The Switch port that Capcom has announced is called Resident Evil 7: Cloud Version. ), this means you’ll need a fairly strong internet connection to play Resident Evil 7 at a manageable quality on the Switch, thus kind of defeating the point of why we wanted a Switch port of the

New writers are joining me soon, too!April 20, 2018The Witcher Netflix series plotThere are a veritable library of short stories and eight novels to choose from, but we’d bet our Nilfgaardian florens that the Witcher Netflix series will focus on the saga made up of five novels, which focus on Geralt’s relationship with Ciri. The Witcher Netflix series character listFrom another Hissrich Twitter thread, we got a good idea of who we could expect to see in the show, and how she sees their character

Westworld season 2 opted for a change of scenery this week, with Shogun World taking centre stage. Except, like myself, the rest of the internet just wanted to spend more time out East… Spoilers for Westworld season 2, episode 5 to follow.

A new Halo game is on the way, but probably not in the form you expected. Say hello to Halo: Fireteam Raven, a co-op arcade experience coming this summer to Dave & Buster’s restaurants:Taking place during the same timeframe as the original Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo: Fireteam Raven puts you in the boots of an ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Trooper) soldier instead of the nigh-invincible Master Chief. Up to four players can join up to take on the Covenant, using turret-mounted lightguns aimed at a 130-

There are eerie parallels with Under The Silver Lake, David Robert Mitchell’s follow-up to his similarly masterful indie horror It Follows. And while there’s a certain indulgent quality to Silver Lake, which smacks of a director handed carte blanche, the film’s merits far outweigh its shortcomings. Everything feels loosely, or tangentially, connected in Mitchell’s LA but attempting to put it all together, as Sam does obsessively, is where madness lies. But the rug is never pulled from under Sam’

Kingdom Hearts 3 still didn’t feel real until I witnessed Haley Joel Osment’s voice coming out of Sora’s mouth. We’ve been treated to plenty of gorgeous gameplay footage of Kingdom Hearts 3 in months past, but hearing the English voiceovers is when all that childhood nostalgia really hits home. I’ve been negotiating with Disney since the beginning of Kingdom Hearts to include Pixar, and we were able to realize it with Kingdom Hearts 3.” My limited time with Kingdom Hearts 3 was, in a word, delig

The wheels are turning and beards are being silently stroked as the Star Wars Obi-Wan movie inches ever closer to reality.

If you’re able bodied, it’s easy to underestimate just how hard it can be for people with limited mobility to use a controller. Microsoft recognized that this was an issue for members of its community, and worked with non-profits to create the Xbox Adaptive Controller. “Designed primarily for gamers with limited mobility, the Xbox Adaptive Controller allows you to create a custom controller experience that can be adapted to meet the needs of people with various disabilities in an affordable way,
