The Bechdel Test is designed to highlight female-positive movies with an active female presence and to call attention to gender inequality in the film industry. Do these named women speak to each other? It is still a great movie though, so make sure you check it out on our best action movies list. How it passes: Both the main characters are named women, who talk to each other a lot about football, their families, and yes, occasionally boys. How it passes: Don’t let the name fool you, Children of

Vampyr changes all of that with the unique approach they have to these characters, turning them from nameless extras into supporting actors in Dr Reid’s story. Almost every single one can be changed, as Vampyr pushes you towards taking care of the characters milling around the streets with you. Whereas most of us have indulged in the odd quicksave massacre, Vampyr doesn’t give you that kind of scot-free gratification.

I hope you’ve maxed out your tiers and nabbed that Black Knight costume in Fortnite: Battle Royale come sunset today, because season 2 is coming to a close, bringing an end to the Battle Pass as we know it. Battle Pass, for those who don’t know, was an in-game purchase that allowed players to level up faster and earn more cosmetic items for Epic’s free-to-play Battle Royale mode. But the denouement of season 2 heralds in the new dawn of season 3, and introduces a brand new Battle Pass for Fortni

You were probably having too much fun to realise, but something was missing from Black Panther. It turns out, the Soul Stone was never intended to be revealed in Black Panther. According to Coogler “[Marvel Studios] never really was interested in putting a stone in there.”So, what does that mean for Infinity War? Thankfully, it seems, Marvel is keeping this one under wraps – and Infinity War will be all the better for it. For yet more questions about the movie, head on over to 6 questions I had

To say that fans were confused by the announcement of a new Metal Gear game, Metal Gear Survive, taking place in an alternative universe and featuring zombie-like creatures is something of an understatement.

What do you think players will be most surprised by when they get their hands on Metal Gear Survive? A core c

Metal Gear Survive currently has a problem with it’s 1.01/1.02 update that means it doesn’t work for some people. Metal Gear Survive’s microtransactions are live, and the game seems to work in some territories, so it’s unclear why some people can’t play. As I was writing this story the ‘downloaded and ready to play message’ message popped up again but didn’t make any difference. The game still hangs on the update message. Why not kill some time reading up on our Metal Gear Survive tips while you

Chances are that if you’ve heard of Tonya Harding – the disgraced US figure-skating champ allegedly connected to an attack on her rival, Nancy Kerrigan – you’ve already formed an opinion of her. Billed, baitingly, as “totally true”, Craig Gillespie’s tell-all mixes (fake) vox pops with more conventional scenes, letting the main players recount their stories, however pathetic. As Tonya rises through the sporting ranks, we watch her endure horrendous abuse from her mother. Superbly acted, expertly

The slinging web might’ve given it away, but that was Spider-Man 2, a game that came out on the PS2 in 2004. But with an experienced team at the helm it’s a serious possibility, so I spoke to a few veterans of the web-slinger’s world to find out what’s needed to make the ideal Spider-Man game. Get Spidey Sense rightSpider-Man is known for a few major powers: his web slinging, wall crawling, and Spidey Sense. “It needs to feel grounded enough that you care about making money and you care about ex

The BAFTAs 2018 are a great litmus test for the biggie: The Oscars 2018. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is showing signs of sweeping the board, judging by their performance at Britain’s premiere movie awards. Plus, there’s a good chance that awards season is going to be dominated by a small handful of movies this year – so who won? The full list of winners is below, including Hideo Kojima’s BFF (and Death Stranding alum) Guillermo del Toro taking home the award for Best Director. His
