Avengers, assemble – a week earlier than you originally planned, because Avengers: Infinity War has had its release date bumped up, from May 4 to April 27!

If you’re looking for someone to thank, look no further than Tony Stark himself, Robert Downey Jr. pic.twitter.com/n5JhJWpnqcMarch 1, 2018Of course, I don’t think RDJ actually convinced Disney to move up its schedule because he asked nicely.

If you’re wondering why 3D Realms would go through the trouble of building an obvious homage / spiritual successor to Duke Nukem 3D but not include the blonde-haired macho man himself, let’s get you caught up on the winding (and a little sad) legacy of Duke Nukem. The history of DukeThe first Duke Nukem game, created by Apogee Software in 1991, was a sidescrolling shooter. In 1996, Apogee (now calling itself 3D Realms) released what, for many, is the high point of the series and possibly even th

Whether or not a copy of the original novel Annihilation sits on your bookshelf, you’ll come out of the movie adaptation with questions. Questions about the strange, alien ecosystem that is Area X, about the entity that created it, and on the films ambiguous ending. Director Alex Garland knows his way around a science fiction plot, but Annihilation is his most ambitious yet precisely because of what it leaves out. Area X is affected by a strange miasma called the Shimmer, an unexplained force th

It’s time to call out these dumbass rules and let our female action heroes save the world in jeans and practical shoes. Read on for six female movie action hero tropes Hollywood needs to forget and the worst offenders. Only use small weapons that fit into your purseWhat is it with female action heroes only ever using small, cute-looking weapons? It’s time for female action heroes to ditch the ‘feminine’ weapons and help themselves to a big old rocket-launcher. Offenders: Black Widow (Iron Man 2)

Monster Hunter World’s delightful Horizon: Zero Dawn love-in continues, with a new and decidedly cool set of gear to unlock. As for how to get the Monster Hunter World Horizon: Zero Dawn armour? To get going, you’ll need to have hit High Rank (reaching at least Hunter Rank 11), and then you’ll need to go to Astera and check out the Quest Board. You’ll need four of these in order to forge the Horizon armour (named Aloy Alpha in the Smithy), as well as two more if you want Aloy’s bow. Check out ou

At approximately 9:00 UTC, February 28 2018, Atlus pulled the plug on Demon’s Souls’ online servers, after nearly a decade of players fighting with and against each other in the kingdom of Boletaria. And it’s the invasions which most players will remember more than anything else, if my chats with other Demon’s Souls fans is anything to go by. One of the best moments in my gaming life.”GradientGhoul shared a similarly fond memory from the early days of Demon’s Souls. It was a unique experience, i

Video game snow peaked in 1982 with Horace Goes Skiing on the ZX Spectrum but, consumed by their own hubris, developers have spent 36 years trying to better it. A few years ago, we were bored and decided to make an article that collated 113 games with snow in them. Well, today is the day all that is blown away with an update that takes us to 160 games with snow in them. The criteria for a game to be included is really strict and complicated, so listen hard: There has to be snow in it. Brutal Leg

From superhero hit Wonder Woman to space-tastic Gravity, strong women are taking centre stage like never before and it’s not just female-led films which have found success. Both Mad Max: Fury Road and Suicide Squad starred standout women who stole the show from their male counterparts and are packed with amazing female moments. Whether it’s Harley Quinn kicking ass or Wonder Woman saving the day, here are four female movie moments you’ll want to relive again and again. Wonder Woman travels acros

Gal Gadot bought Wonder Woman to life last year in one of the best movies of 2017, but while everyone can’t stop talking about the incredible actress, there’s still a few things you probably don’t know about Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman. When Gal Gadot returned to finish some reshoots for Wonder Woman, she was just months away from giving birth to her second child. “On close-up I looked very much like Wonder Woman,” Gadot told EW . “On wide shots I looked very funny, like Wonder Woman pregnant with

Let It Die reincarnates cult classic Killer7Grasshopper Manufacture is mixing its old Killer7 magic with its free-to-play PS4 game Let It Die.

Syfy’s new series Krypton will air on March 21, telling the story of Superman’s home planet before the Man of Steel was even a twinkle in anyone’s eye. Cameron Cuffe plays the young Seg-El, Superman’s grandfather, and spoke to SFX about how his character differs from the superhero we all know. “[Seg-El] grows up in a society that’s seemingly utopian, but is edging towards authoritarianism. The series will follow Seg-El and his family 200 years before the events of the movie Man of Steel. For mor

It’s the best thing in Sea Of Thieves, and we’ve fully embraced it. Do Legends play with Legends? Do they play with people who’ve just started, and shepherd other people into the game?”Rare wants Sea of Thieves’ first Pirate Legends to feel like celebrities. Like that, but with more use for everyone else too – for instance, Pirate Legends can take their less-legendary friends with them into the Tavern of Legends. Continue your voyage into the Sea of Thieves by picking up the latest issue of Edge

But a blast from the past may be worth keeping your eye on if you like these loot-n-shoot style games: Defiance. At the same time, development studio Trion Worlds reveals Defiance, the video game. While Pettit doesn’t come right out and namedrop Destiny, it seems clear that Defiance 2050 would like a piece of Bungie’s pie. Anyone who likes (or once liked) Destiny ought to keep an eye on Defiance 2050. You can sign up for the closed beta now, or just wait until Defiance 2050 launches this summer

And if you were always interested in Injustice 2 but managed to hold off this long, your patience has basically saved you $40, since the $60 Legendary Edition is almost the same as the $100 Ultimate Edition that was available at launch. I knew the likelihood of a new edition of Injustice 2 coming out down the line, but I pre-ordered and bought the Ultimate Edition anyway. I love Spawn. Don’t get me wrong; I fully admit that the decision to purchase the Ultimate Edition was mine and that I jumped

As a game, however, Zelda has something Horizon cannot possibly replicate, and that’s Nintendo’s unquestionable nostalgia. Ok, I’m being overly reductive here, but I’m highlighting what – for me – is the core difference between Zelda and Horizon. Breath of the Wild is an exploration game with adventure elements, whereas Horizon is an adventure game with exploration elements. When a game offers cute mechanics designed to make players feel smart about themselves, it flatters. Horizon, conversely,

Everyone’s favourite alcoholic superhero is back on March 8 as Jessica Jones season 2 hits Netflix worldwide. But she can never fully let go of what makes Jessica Jessica, which is why she finds herself in a fair amount of trouble too. The parallels between the storylines of the second season and what’s happening in the real world are scarily similar. It’s like Jessica Jones season 2 was made for the post-#MeToo landscape – despite being written back in 2016 before the wave of sexual assault all
