The PC Gamer Weekender has given us our first look at some Two Point Hospital gameplay, the spiritual successor to Theme Hospital. The gameplay you can see up there is very much.. on point (sorry), for recreating the spirit of the original. The game takes place in the fictional Two Point County and sees you managing hospitals in different areas, dealing with the different issues each location serves up. As you progress you’ll have research new cures and manage staff who now have different charac

In a PC Gamer Weekender livestream developer Automaton has talked more about Mavericks. A 400 player battle royal with persistent world RPG ambitions that have more than a little ring of Destiny to it. The game will be launching in two stages, starting with the 400 player battle royal this year and the persistent world RPG element next year which will host 1000 players. The game will launch with the battle royal stuff to test the tech and get the ball rolling but it’s the persistent RPG bits tha

Easily the saddest, bleakest film ever made from a Raymond Briggs picture book, When The Wind Blows sees elderly couple Jim and Hilda (partly based on Briggs’ own parents) living quietly in the Sussex countryside when imminent nuclear war is declared. They’re both fairly clueless about what this means, but Jim’s picked up the official government leaflets and proceeds to follow them to the letter. “We must build a shelter and refuge,” he tells Hilda – which involves taking the doors off their hin

That’s something I put to Danai Gurira when we sat down to talk about Black Panther recently and, well, I wasn’t expecting this. Good luck guessing: it’s something you might not be too familiar with…Say hello to Shark Tank. Watch the video above to see Gurira revel in Shark Tank in all its glory (seriously, she loves it so it’s fun to watch her get her geek on). You heard it here first, Danai loves Shark Tank. ‘, check out 6 questions I had after watching Black Panther.

The PC Gamer Weekender kicks off tomorrow at the Olympia in London but if you lack the funds, private jet or sheer willpower to get there, you can still be part of the personal computer magic by tuning in on Twitch.

For more than 20 years, Sonic the Hedgehog occupied not only our television screens, but the pages of comic books. Published by Archie Comics (of… um, Archie fame), the Sonic the Hedgehog comic ran for 290 issues – and that’s not even counting multiple spin-offs like Knuckles the Echidna and Sonic Boom, or the crossover event where Sonic met Mega Man. In June 2017, Sega announced it was ending its partnership with Archie and shifting its Sonic comic to IDW Publishing. On the other side of the

Because a PS4 Pro deal this good feels like it should solely be reserved for Black Friday. We’re talking $400 for a PS4 Pro plus Monster Hunter World plus Titanfall 2 – that’s more than 20 percent off, or $120 less than the $520 it would cost bought separately, and it’s all courtesy of Newegg on Ebay. Well, we gave MH World a perfect 5/5 score and made Titanfall 2 our Game of the Year in 2016. All of the above will look best on a 4K television, but even on a 1080p set you should see a difference

One of the biggest questions around Star Trek Discovery has been what universe it’s in? There’s a Prime timeline, a Kelvin one, the Mirror Dimension and more time travelling and universe hopping than several other shows combined. Technically the Kelvin timeline and Prime timeline coexist and run concurrently together, so why not other variations? See the HEART of @startrekcbs: it’s real STAR TREK to its core.September 15, 2017There’s no arguing that Discovery is ‘Star Trek to its core’ but there

One character who really hammers on the funny bone is, bizarrely, international arms dealer Ulysses Klaue, aka baddie Klaw. In fact, a throwaway line from the villain got me thinking what would be on his personal mixtape. Mild Black Panther spoilers to follow… I’ve even made a Spotify playlist of what Ulysses Klaue’s mixtape might sound like, for those of you who want to jam along to the songs that inspire everyone’s favourite Vibranium dealer. For a less musical look at Black Panther (but no

Want to know what Sonic cereal tastes like, or what it’s like to stay in a Star Wars Rebel Pilot sleeping bag for more than five seconds? Episode 1 features Star Wars Sleeping bags, some questionable Sonic cereal, a light-up Link, and a Call of Duty themed accessories holder. The Selk’bag solves all of your (first world) problems by creating a sleeping bag/onesie hybrid, and it’s pretty incredible. The Star Wars Selk’bags come in four Force flavours – Rebel Pilot, Storm Trooper, Darth Vader, and

What must it be like coming in fresh to one of, if not the, biggest film franchises in the world? Black Panther stars Danai Gurira and Lupita Nyong’o had to deal with not only joining a huge multi-connected universe, but also working alongside Chadwick Boseman’s established superhero T’Challa. “Lucky for us, this is a different area of the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” Nyong’o explains. Watch the full interview above to find out what else Nyong’o and Gurira had to say about joining the MCU. For mo

In the linear, single player RPG A Plague Tale: Innocence, the latter is the case. You play Amicia, a girl who has to get her five year-old brother Hugo to safety… in medieval France. Survival of the cruelestAlthough the relationship between the two siblings is at the centre of the story, Hugo isn’t the easiest person to travel around a ravaged medieval France with. Transitioning from naive to ruthless, the person Hugo ends up becoming won’t be because of the man-eating rats destroying France. W

Thor’s Valkyrie Tessa Thompson is “hopeful” for an all-female MCU movieThe freaking awesome Thompson made our hearts grow three sizes with her latest red carpet chat. “There’s an interest – they’re doing Captain Marvel, they’re doing a Black Widow – there’s an interest in having women at the forefront of this phase.

That’s what indie developer Tim Ruswick did with his PC game Philophobia: The Fear of Love, and now he hopes it’ll help others the way it helped him. You can see the game in action below:”At first this game was super dark and brutal. “I made each boss represent an emotion that I felt, and I think I’m finally at a point where the ending is something fitting.” Ruswick’s creation is a reminder that games don’t need multimillion dollar budgets or massive marketing campaigns to be worthwhile. They do

For a limited time, the retailer is selling PS4 Pro’s limited-edition 1TB Star Wars Battlefront 2 bundle at a nice discount – and if you combine that with a promotional code, you can get the whole package for $40 less than you’d normally pay for a PS4 Pro alone!

It takes a lot of pack everything about a character into an action figure, but Disney have tried with these new Solo: A Star Wars Story figurines. I haven’t seen a toy look that darn cocksure since that pink bear thing from Toy Story 3. They scream “I’m totally going to steal your ship.” Not sure about the cape, mind. I’m totally going to set my dragons on the producers.””Remember to duck, remember to duck, remember to duck…”Last but, well, definitely least is the brand-new Snowtrooper. For le
