We’ve been waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3 since 2006, oo-ing and ah-ing every time we learn about a new Disney world we’ll get to explore. But what the inclusion of a Monsters, Inc world and doofy Goofy shows is that almost no property is too silly, too ludicrous for inclusion in the Kingdom Hearts series. Crossovers galoreWhen Kingdom Hearts arrived on the scene in 2002 – yes, it really has been 16 years since that first game – there was skepticism. But there’s another, tantalizing ‘what if’ to e

After more than 100 hours in Assassin’s Creed Origins, arriving in Ubisoft’s history-focused Discovery Tour is a strange experience. And yes, don’t worry, you can switch back to the normal mode if all the learning/desire to kill gets a bit too much to handle. Would this always have been there in any Assassin’s Creed game, even if the Discovery Tour wasn’t a factor, you ask? Now, when it came to the Discovery Tour, we said that food is important so let’s talk about bread and beer. Discovery Tour

Wordlessly, the Cars movies state their dread truth through every aspect of their grim countenance. Because, friends, the Cars movies play out in a post-apocalyptic hellhole future, in which flesh and bone have fallen to steel and glass, and every vein runs toxic and stinking with petrol, oil, and brake fluid. But Cars’ world is populated only by vehicles, with not a human in sight. The world of the cars in Cars is not their world, and yet they possess it. And if supernatural forces and/or far f

Back in September 2013 Assassin’s Creed was starting to look like a franchise whose limits had been explored and exhausted. Then, in October of that same year, Assassin’s Creed was the hottest thing around thanks to Black Flag. Now he’s done it all over again, reviving the series again with Assassin’s Creed Origins after a few lacklustre instalments. Black Flag is widely considered to be among the best Assassin’s Creed games. AI: No, right now we’re still supporting Assassin’s Creed Origins.

In some frankly excellent news for the Assassin’s Creed franchise, it’s looking more and more likely that the free running series will be leaping over a 2018 release date for a new adventure. Given the success of Assassin’s Creed Origins , which reaped the rewards of that extra year of development time, it would be foolish of Ubisoft not to follow the same pattern. You don’t need Eagle Vision to spot that the unannounced title will be an Origins follow up. Assassin’s Creed Origins is a beautiful

Bad news first; if you didn’t manage to unlock the Horizon Zero Dawn Watcher costume for your Palico on the PS4 version of Monster Hunter World, I’m afraid you’re out of time. This isn’t the end for the Horizon Zero Dawn/Monster Hunter World mash-ups, as Capcom has just announced the details for the second part of its Aloy-themed content, and the rewards are far better than any robo-Palico could ever hope to be.

Remember when we first saw Black Panther back in Captain America: Civil War? Except it felt a little out of nowhere (other than the quick Wakanda detour in Avengers: Age of Ultron).

There’s a lot to unpack in Altered Carbon , Netflix’s sexy, noir science fiction, so you could be forgiven for missing this sly nod to everyone’s favorite TV show, Game of Thrones . A Redditor has spotted a seven-pointed star in the background of a scene, and you can examine it for yourself below. Game of Thrones obsessives will recognize the symbol and its meaning. The Seven-Pointed Star is basically the bible for followers of The Faith of the Seven, the main religion of the Seven Kingdoms, and

Five Nights at Freddy’s movie gets the magic touch from Harry Potter directorHorror studio Blumhouse Productions has revealed that Chris Columbus will write and direct its adaptation of the teddy focused horror game.

But what made Shovel Knight stand out in a sea of like-minded games was that it was true to the time period it was shaped by. In other words, Tanglewood is to the Genesis / Mega Drive what Shovel Knight was to the NES. Now, to be clear, Yacht Club Games is a studio made up of multiple people, and Shovel Knight was successfully Kickstarted to the tune of more than $300k. So in terms of scale and precision, Tanglewood is not on par with Shovel Knight – and even Shovel Knight itself breaks away fro

Forget The Cloverfield Paradox , a movie has arrived on Netflix that has all the tension, scares and mood that the space flop was missing. The Ritual is a cracking horror movie and one of those rare examples where the film improves on the source material (a 2008 novel by Adam Nevill). He’s one of those rare horror film characters who actually acts sensibly in the face of the uncertain. It’s no surprise that the director, David Bruckner, is the same man behind weird horror anthology Southbound .

There’s nothing in the world like a good god game. So where did all the god games go, and can they ever be brought back? The definition of a godCompared to genres like first-person shooter, the descriptor ‘god game’ feels nebulous and vague. Unlike strategy games or city-building games, which gave players direct control over their units, buildings, and sometimes even cities or nations, god games rely on players making more subtle influences to artificial intelligence algorithms. Artificial intel

So the announcement that a new Star Trek series was being developed way back in 2015 wasn’t that shocking.

It’s no strain to call del Toro’s films love letters to cinema, either. True, recent del Toro workouts Pacific Rim and Crimson Peak also stretched beyond their monster-movie and melodrama roots thanks to his unfiltered investment.

Star Trek Discovery season 1 is over. Vastly unlikely, but Discovery does like to overtly display its references to other Star Trek shows, often with a staggering lack of subtlety. The problem here is that the more it’s used, the harder it’ll be to explain why the technology isn’t used – or even referenced – in any of the following Star Trek shows. With the weakest threat known to man ringing in her ears, the most dangerous figure in the most dangerous dimension of the Star Trek universe simply
