With the explosive popularity of Fortnite and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds , the list of battle royale games like PUBG will only keep growing. Radical Heights is the newest contender to the burgeoning genre: a self-described “battle royale with cheese” that goes all-in on 1980s nostalgia, with the regrettable hairstyles, x-treme fashion, and every color of the neon rainbow that entails. Unlike the hardcore, Overwatch-meets-Tribes intensity of LawBreakers, which likely scared off plenty of would

The real question is though, has he loved it enough to return as a Force ghost in Star Wars 9 ? “The main thing [that shocked me in Star Wars: The Force Awakens ] was – Han Solo is killed! Hamill remembers one his favourite Star Wars scenes and unsurprisingly it features Fisher’s Princess Leia. It lasted about 30 seconds until George said ‘Get him down now!’”Is it just as fun appearing in the later Star Wars movies though? Here’s 15 things we learnt from the Star Wars: The Last Jedi director’s c

The Walking Dead season 8 got political with its penultimate episode this week, as Negan consolidated his power and doused the flames of internal rebellion while simultaneously devising a master plan to trick both those within his own ranks and beyond them. There was some good viewing material to chew on in episode 15 , then, but you can’t help feel as though AMC is saving the best till last for the final showdown next week. Even if the sickness doesn’t take Gabriel from this world, it’s become

It didn’t feel like a lead-in to a season finale this week. And this is the episode before the season finale…. seriously what the fuck happened to this show #thewalkingdead9 April 2018That was a

Read on to find out…Let’s give you some (very, very vague) facts about the footage that fans have witnessed during a special fan event in London. Consider me surprisingly impressed, the 20 mins snippet from #InfinityWar (doesn’t seem to be edited but a continuous piece) shifts between the tones surprisingly nicely. So proud to be a Marvel fan, and #ThanosDemandsYourSilence about the incredible footage that we saw! pic.twitter.com/VJPXWMapsc8 April 2018we also get to see the film early LOOOOOL GO

The ‘Go Fast’ update) was always going to be the first one that really mattered. Update 1.1.4 addresses that, at least on a micro level. That said, I’m still not 100% convinced that Destiny 2 version 1.1.4 necessarily represents a straightforward portal to a golden future. One thing that Bungie has been very clear about lately is that Destiny 2 isn’t going to revert into a do-over of the first Destiny. Destiny 2 is a sequel, not just an expansion, and so it has to evolve the Destiny concept in n

For some it’s Tim Burton’s pop-culture smash Batman (1989). For me, though, it’s Burton’s $80m sequel Batman Returns (1992) that is the Bat movie with wings. Declaring the notion of a Batman sequel as “the most dumbfounded idea”, Burton was made a producer and granted creative control by Warner Bros in order to secure his services. The closest any Batman film has got to Bob Kane’s original comic strips, Batman Returns is blacker-than-black and bullishly bonkers, somehow managing to be fun, camp

SPOILER WARNING: I’ll be talking in great detail about Resident Evil 7’s main twist for the entirety of this article. Those words come from the mouth of Resident Evil 7 ’s Jack Baker. The cutscene is barely two minutes long, yet it changes the way you see Resident Evil 7’s monstrous family forever. Anyone who’s made it to the end of Resident Evil 7 knows that there’s nothing you can do to save the Bakers. Thanks to Resident Evil 7, the terrors lurking in the shadows in future horror games have a

So, by this time next week, you’ll have two timed event missions to play and a whole heap of new gear to unlock. Retailing for $9.99 / £12.99 each, they may not actually interact with your console, but when they look this good does it really matter? Will it be able to break the video game curse? This weekend, wrestler Xavier Woods’ YouTube channel UpUpDownDown is hosting the perfect gateway drug: wrestlers playing video games. One day, he gets a commission that will spiral him into an even darke

We’re eight episodes deep into What’s In The Box and the stuff we’re pulling out of it is getting better and better! This week features a lot of epic movie merchandise, one being a giant Infinity Stone gauntlet – as modelled by Thanos in Avengers Infinity War – that lights up and makes irritating space noises. Such is the demand for feet-controlled games that there’s a gaming mat with 200 built in retro games that you can plug straight into your TV. Then the Star Wars Lightsaber from Funko will

Don’t take my word for it, listen to the lucky ones who managed to snag a place at the world premiere in LA…Does it break the video game movie curse? You may want hold to fire on declaring this the best video game movie – as the rest of the reactions range from the monster movie being big, dumb fun to being ridiculous. Brad Peyton has created a big budget B movie & Dwayne Johnson delivers his most outrageous performance to date. pic.twitter.com/0aFNqnxRl75 April 2018Excited to say that @rampaget

Vending Machines? What do Fornite’s vending machines give you? Fortnite’s vending machines allow you to trade your building materials for a weapon, trap or other item. These are only locations where a vending machine has been found though, not a guarantee there will be one there all the time. A quick guide on everything you need to know about vending machines in Fortnite.

Overwatch’s new seasonal mission, Retribution, is out next weekRemember that Overwatch comic from yesterday ? The Retribution mission from the Overwatch Archives is a PvE event featuring the members of Blackwatch; it’ll run from April 10 to April 30, so get in while the gettin’s good. That doesn’t mean LawBreakers is going away – and hopefully, this is a sign of a free-to-play resurgence later down the line. Shaq Fu returns (to everyone’s amazement) this JuneThe successfully crowdfunded follow-u

Hearthstone’s new expansion, The Witchwood , has just been confirmed for an April 12 release (i.e. a week from now), bringing 135 mysterious, spooky, and altogether ooky cards with it. You can check out a gallery of all the currently revealed Witchwood cards on Hearthstone’s Facebook page , and our pals at PC Gamer have had their resident high Legend player predicting the power level and viability of all The Witchwood Legendary cards to see what’ll be worth keeping versus dusting. Personally, I’

We’re now into Fortnite week 7 of season 3 and one challenge is to find gnomes in Named Locations. There are a lot, and while our full Fortnite Battle Royale Battle Pass Challenges Guide is here, we’ve picked out Fornite’s gnomes for some special attention. That’s because they can be well hidden and there’s an extra layer of dificulty – a found gnome is gone for good in any given match. Then, once you’ve found any 7, they’re gone for good because that’s the challenge. So, without further ado, he

There’s the factionary warring of EVE Online, the ideological statecraft of Elite: Dangerous, and now – in what might come as a surprise to some – the galactic institutions actively governing the procedurally generated expanses of No Man’s Sky . The Federation describes itself as an “interstellar, intergalactic federal republic” made up of various “civilisations”, which are essentially communities and zones in No Man’s Sky dedicated to organised cooperative play. Earlier this year, for instance,

J.J. Abrams is back on board for Star Wars 9 and, as Simon Pegg has recently revealed, he wanted to go in the complete opposite direction for the identities Rey’s mum and dad. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast (H/T Comicbook.com), Pegg (who had a cameo in Abrams’ Star Wars: The Force Awakens) explains that the now two-time Star Wars director had something very different in mind. Lineage is something pretty sacred in a galaxy far, far away – and there aren’t many more prominent families

Yep, Hawkeye hasn’t been around for what feels like an age (in MCU terms, anyway). But he’s back in Avengers: Infinity War… right? In an interview with the directors of the third Avengers movie, our sister publication Total Film magazine got to the bottom of the issue as to why Jeremy Renner has been MIA in each of the trailers – and it sounds ominous. “All will be explained when people see the movie,” says Anthony Russo, when asked about Hawkeye’s continued absence, in a quote that feels me wit

Another yet-to-be-announced game, another leak via an Amazon listing. The Spyro Reignited Trilogy has appeared as a product page on Amazon Mexico, adding more fuel to the purple fire that Activision are about to announce a remastered version of Insomniac’s beloved PlayStation platformer games. The listing states that the game will release for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 21, 2018, and will include three remastered titles; Spyro the Dragon, Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage!, and Spyro: Year of th

You’re probably ready to mount my head on a pike for suggesting that spoilers can increase your enjoyment of a movie, TV show, or game. But before you assemble a mob, science has actually proved that spoilers seem to increase our enjoyment of stories. The people participating in the experiment were given short stories to read, with spoilers explaining the outcome of the story inserted midway through the tale. But here’s the are-you-seriously-kidding-me bit: the results of the experiment showed t
