This year we’re getting a Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 battle royale mode called Blackout, a massive franchise-hopping take on the genre that seems to be built from anything and everything that’s ever appeared in Black Ops. Right now the map is large but there’s also vehicle stuff we’ve got going in there, things like that. “We have 10 years of Black Ops franchise to work with. Or ‘the numbers Mason, what do they mean?’ Crazy, crazy Reznov. And parts of maps too, favourite multiplayer maps.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has no single-player campaign, it’s just multiplayer, zombies and battle royaleThe rumour that Black Ops 4 wouldn’t have a traditional single player campaign seemed almost incomprehensible when it did the rounds recently, but it’s true. Black Ops 4 DOES have solo player experiences, thoughThere’s no dedicated single-player experience this year but there are solo… things. That’s happening mainly via skill-based solo missions that act as tutorials for the multiplayer char

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is bringing some big changes (like dropping its single-player campaign) and it seems Black Ops 4 Zombies isn’t escaping the shake up. Perhaps the biggest news is that Zombies is launching with “three fully fledged, fully loaded Zombie experiences on day one”, according to Treyarch. Just in terms of content alone, that’s more than the series has ever had to begin with, but there’s more to come. Things like zombie speed, health, type, player damage, magic box functionalit

The rumors were true and this year we’re going multiplayer only. Yes, that’s right, there’s no Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 single-player campaign. That’s not to say there isn’t single player stuff, it’s just that what story stuff there is, is now happening through its multiplayer modes. In addition, there will be three separate Black Ops 4 Zombie campaigns when Black Ops 4 launches this year. And that’s it for the Black Ops 4 single player.

Today, a new game called Eden Rising: Supremacy hits Steam as an Early Access title. So yes, Eden Rising: Supremacy is a tower defense game. Take your towers with youIn Eden Rising, up to eight players log onto a shared persistent world – the titular planet of Eden. “So you can take the static elements of the tower defense genre and bring them wherever you want. So we put in systems that limited progression a lot more based on doing tower defense challenges.

For everyone else who’s ready to delve into some deep analysis about the film, read on for the 10 questions we have after watching Solo: A Star Wars Story ending. Unless it’s a misdirect (highly unlikely) expect the second Solo film to feature the galaxy’s most repulsive giant slug in a major way. It’s time a Star Wars movie finally did justice to some of the coolest characters in a galaxy far, far away. Looking more more goodness from a galaxy far, far away? Here’s the best Star Wars movies ran

Assuming you don’t have tickets to the physical event itself, how can you watch the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 reveal? When will the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 reveal begin? What will the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 reveal include? Does this mean Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 won’t be an E3 2018 game ? In this case, that means you should look for more Black Ops 4 info to arrive on the Sony stage.

Closer in tone, themes and milieu to 2008’s Gomorrah than 2012’s Reality and 2015’s Tale of Tales, Dogman is based on a real-life event that made headlines 30 years ago. Twelve years in the writing, it stars Marcello Fonte as Marcello, a wonderfully weaselly dog groomer whose dingy place of work adjoins an equally rundown gold-for-cash joint. A more recent comparison point might be the Michael R. Roskam-directed, Denis Lehane-scripted The Drop, a low-key American crime movie that also featured a

Often more compelling and interesting than the humans they frequently tussle with, there’s a reason why AI series are so popular right now. Still, not every sentient machine has to look or sound like a human, and our list of the best AI TV characters features plenty of classic sci-fi icons, as well as some more contemporary counterparts. DataTV show: Star Trek: The Next GenerationAside from being hands-down the best Next Generation character (shut up, Worf), Data is also the most loveable AI cha

Avengers: Infinity War wrought death and destruction pretty much everywhere we looked. Something about waking up a dying sun yadda, yadda, yadda. Groot, much like during Infinity War, died there too. As in Infinity War, though, a piece of him remained. Of course, the movie has a lot more than Groot to dissect, so be sure to read our root-and-branch look at the Infinity War ending.

Spike Lee’s incendiary new movie BlacKkKlansman is set in 1970s Colorado but is sadly, painfully relevant to today’s America, Europe, planet Earth (“This shit is global,” Lee said in post-film interviews). And yet it is also one of Lee’s most angry, focused, politically charged films, primed to detonate in Trump’s America. OK, so BlacKkKlansman, like many Spike Lee joints, can hardly be accused of subtlety, but its full-throttle attack, worked into a hugely entertaining narrative, hits hard and

Epic and Legendary burst ARs will be hot itemsI’m gonna put on my virtual gun hipster glasses/eye protection and say I always like burst rifles no matter what game they’re in, but I’m glad everybody’s caught up with their greatness in Fortnite. Epic’s further quenching our three-round thirst with two new weapon types: an Epic and a Legendary Burst Assault Rifle. Better servers and load timesLong story short, Fortnite should feel more responsive and be less prone to hitches. Then you pick wrong a

I can’t believe quite how different The Crew 2 feels compared to its predecessor, 2014’s The Crew. Gone, in favour of a stratified narrative backdrop that contextualises events, but rightly takes a backseat role to the racing. The prosaic application of Ubisoft’s trademark open world template? Fast Fav might sound like something off the McDonald’s Saver Menu, but it’s actually Ubisoft’s nickname for The Crew 2’s new game-defining mechanic. Still, they’re handy for traversing the world, and it’s

Rage 2 was announced earlier this week and, with its happy-go-lucky approach to an open-world post-apocalypse game, the comparisons to Gearbox’s Borderlands series were inevitable. Some commentators even worried whether Bethesda’s unexpected sequel would be completely overshadowed by the long awaited Borderlands 3, should that game be officially revealed at E3 2018 later next month. Read more The best upcoming games of 2018But will Borderlands 3 be showing up at the entertainment expo at all? Th

Solo: A Star Wars Story seems to be going great guns if the reviews are any indication. There is nothing much here that will surprise Star Wars fans but there is nothing that should disappoint them either. Absolutely – The Guardian (4/5)“Solo: A Star Wars Story is a crackingly enjoyable adventure which frankly deserves full episode status in the great franchise, not just one of these intermittent place-holding iterations. I’m not entirely sure about Emilia Clarke, but that mostly because Qi’ra —

The potent Warlock combo of Dark Pact and Lackey is greatly weakened by Lackey’s increase cost and Dark Pact’s reduced life gain for less survivability. Meanwhile, increasing Call to Arms’ cost to 5 mana excludes it from the prevalent Even Paladin deck, and gives opponents an extra turn to prepare for three incoming minions. It also neuters Priests’ comeback potential with Shadowreaper Anduin, now that it has no 5-attack minions to clear. Meanwhile, a Wild change that’s been a long time coming i

We’ve already seen Nintendo Labo turn the Switch from a handheld / home console hybrid into a device that powers fantasies ranging from smashing buildings as a giant robot to calm afternoons spent fishing indoors. But it can also do a whole lot more – including a few tricks you can do yourself, like turning Nintendo Labo into a digital guitar . And yesterday, as part of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Nintendo Labo was used to recreate an Ariana Grande pop song. While certainly more advanced

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this,” have been the words on many fans’ lips since Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were given their Imperial Marching orders deep into the shoot of Solo: A Star Wars Story. With Howard piloting, Solo, you’d expect, will always shoot second and is unlikely to complete the Kessler Run in under 12 yawns. Separated at the last second, Han flees the planet while Qi’ra is caught and left behind. It is a caper, a western, a heist movie, and is its own thing while being v

We’re nearing the maiden voyage of Sea of Thieves ‘ first free expansion and Rare has shored up the ship with some much needed tweaks before it arrives. Sea of Thieves version 1.07 went live on Tuesday and made waves for dedicated sea dogs and shore dwellers alike. Open crews automatically matchmake in new players to fill their ship to capacity, closed crews don’t. With this update, the reward arc should be much more clearly defined: the higher your rank with a faction, the more valuable your re
