Xbox Game Pass will now include access to all Xbox One exclusive games from Microsoft Studios as soon as they’re released. With that one announcement, Microsoft may have turned Xbox Game Pass into the best value in video gaming. Also note that Microsoft does steadily cycle titles out of Game Pass. You will get advance notice and a discount however, and hopefully Microsoft won’t be in a hurry to cycle out any of its big games. The only thing keeping Xbox Game Pass from truly being the Netflix of

But how does that amount of money make it into a game like Eve Online? Over the next few hours, it’s possible that a war will break out in Eve Online which could cost up to $1,000,000 in real world cash. Over the course of the next few years, the CFC quickly became the hegemonic force of Eve Online, controlling vast amounts of territory and a huge army that no other faction could viably challenge. Enter the Money Badger Coaltion (MBC), an opposing force financed by a guy called Lenny, who made h

Thanks to a huge update, Fortnite: Battle Royale’s map is new and improved with more locations and a fresh coat of paint. Head north east of Lonely Lodge, and glide over to the cliffside until you see what seems to be a lorry hanging off the cliffside. Plus if you head north, you get a nice line of sight through the windows where there’s usually someone looting. With all that loot you’ll be ready to take on whoever you want in Junk Junction, with a nice backdoor strategy in your favour. River Ca

I’m not talking about whatever Game of Thrones season 8 has cooked up, but the reaction to it. That’s not my opinion, it’s the one of Arya Stark herself, Maisie Williams. “It depends which side of the fence you’re going to sit on. It’s great that Maisie Williams is already aware of that because, as we saw from The Last Jedi, some of the feedback can be uncomfortably vicious. ), check out our Game of Thrones season 7 review.

Stranger Things season 3 is pretty much an unknown right now. Speaking to Glamour (H/T Heroic Hollywood), Levy was able to tease just a bit about the pair that made up Stranger Things season 2’s low-key MVPs. It sounds like something completely fresh and frightening is coming; Levy sounds clear-cut: “We’re [going to be] dealing with forces of evil that are new.” New monsters? Don’t fear, though, Stranger Things isn’t breaking with its formula – at least in terms of episodes. While you whittle aw

Since 1981, the Razzies have ‘honored’ the very worst in Hollywood. And today, the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation has released its list of nominees from 2017. Transformers: The Last Knight leads with nine nominations, including Worst Picture, Worst Actor (Mark Wahlberg), Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel, Worst Director, and Worst Screen Combo (Any Combination of Two Humans, Two Robots or Two Explosions). But in the end, the Razzies are just a bit of fun, a way to poke at subpar films. WORST P

So it should be of little surprise that when rumors started to circulate about Halo 6 relying heavily on loot boxes for player progression, fans of the series were not happy. Whispers of loot boxes in the next Halo game have been going around the web for awhile. However, franchise director Frank O’Connor at developer 343 Industries has some words that may reassure those miffed at the idea of loot boxes in the Halo universe: “This is bunk.” “We’re not reevaluating anything (significant) and ‘Micr

Look on Blizzard’s works, ye mighty, and get hyped for Gothic Lolita Catgirl D.Va. Tomorrow our cosmetics update arrives in Overwatch!Today’s reveal: BLACK CAT D.Va (Legendary Skin) pic.twitter.com/5D9jgQDnWdJanuary 22, 2018The internet was eagerly awaiting some kind of payoff after spotting a feline-looking outfit for D.Va in a teaser video last week. Several other new characters are getting new Legendary skins as well, like this handsome Kabuki Hanzo. Only 3 more days until our cosmetics updat

In Downsizing, Payne and his regular co-writer Jim Taylor take the theme as far as it will go, offering a dark, sand-dry sci-fi satire that envisions a near-future in which citizens can opt to undergo the irreversible procedure of ‘cellular miniaturisation’. Why choose to be shrunk down to six inches and lifted off the operating table on a spatula, you might ask. In other words, when it comes to heart and conscience, Downsizing goes pleasingly big. Alexander Payne re-confirms his position as one

The second trailer for the live-action Rampage movie is here, and it’s packed with Oscar-worthy drama, grounded observations about man’s hubris, and a solemn tone that permeates every shot of every scene. George and two other creatures which have been mutated by the serum – a wolf and a crocodile – get loose in downtown Chicago and go on a… *ahem* rampage. If that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about the movie, perhaps its release date will: April 20. Something gives me the impre

The heartwarming success of Stardew Valley has taken on an even brighter note, thanks to its debut on Nintendo’s latest console. It beat out the juggernaut that is Minecraft, which took second place, as well as Sonic Mania and Rocket League at No. All that despite Stardew Valley releasing later in the year (and thus having less time to rack up sales) than the others.

If you thought episode 12 of Star Trek Discovery might take things easy after the series confirmed the existence of the Mirror Universe, Georgiou’s reappearance, and the Tyler/Voq theory in short succession… you’re very, very wrong. With major plot spoilers to follow, here’s our verdict on Star Trek Discovery episode 12. – after a brief chat with Mirror Stamets and the mycelial network, which is sick. That Lorca – our Lorca – is in fact, Mirror Lorca! Every questionable Lorca moment suddenly sli

They truly are the guilt-free hack and slash targets of choice when it comes to satisfying a digital bloodlust. That said, it wasn’t until Bayonetta that I discovered equal satisfaction in button-mashing angels and deities back up into the heavens. My last dive into the chaotic hack and slash arena being Devil May Cry 4 back in 2008, which was appropriately the model upon which game director Hideki Kamiya shaped Bayonetta both stylistically and mechanically. That is where most similarities end h

Metal Gear Survive exists in a strange state of affairs. Metal Gear Survive’s beta is the quickest I’ve installed, played and uninstalled a game yet on the PS4. I’m really excited for Metal Gear Survive and Vampyr. Cheers.January 22, 2018You cannot play Metal Gear Survive expecting to be as good as any other Metal Gear Solid. In any case, Metal Gear Survive will be releasing for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on February 20 this year.

The first piece of new merch news came on Saturday, when professional basketball player Paul George wrote up a news post on the PlayStation Blog. He was there to reveal the PG-2 PlayStation Colourway, a new set of sneakers he’d designed in collaboration with Nike Basketball and PlayStation. Plus, the heel of that same left shoe also contains a unique PSN voucher code that can be redeemed on the PSN store for a “Paul George Dynamic Theme.” The PG-2 PlayStation Colourway will be released on Februa

Star Trek Discovery season 1 episode 12 Vaulting Ambition is – amazingly – a further step up for an already brilliant show. Can’t they just use the mycelial network? Either way, that’s the tech likely to send Discovery home, and Lorca holds the key to it. That’s because the mycelial network has no future in the Star Trek universe. Perhaps his time spent inside the mycelial network has finally allowed him to work out the technology for DASH jumps.

Altered Carbon is a bit of a looker. Blade Runner meets Black Mirror – and then some, according to our spoiler-free preview. Whereas Blade Runner was a relatively cold beast, Altered Carbon thrives on sexuality.”Is Altered Carbon Netflix’s best sci-fi show? Altered Carbon is nowhere near as ambitious, spending too much time rehashing noir tropes instead of exploring its sci-fi premise. A certain recklessness and cynicism, makes Kovacs a badass sci-fi protagonist.

BIG spoilers for Star Trek Discovery episode 12 follow. Oh and Mirror Lorca and Mirror Burnham are an item. Oh gross, in any universe the idea of Lorca & Burnham together is disturbing. The Mirror Stamets, who we got to meet properly this week, probably has a few spore jump-themed tricks up his sleeve. That’s without even mentioning, in the Mirror Universe, she takes Sarek’s role as adoptive parent.

“The first thing you’ll learn is that nothing is what it seems…” This is the opening line of the first episode of Altered Carbon and it couldn’t be more apt. Altered Carbon is very much of its time in the sense that it’s riding the wave of high quality futurism, but don’t be fooled into thinking you’ve seen this all before. All style, no substance, Altered Carbon is not… and Kalogridis hasn’t shied away from the moral core of the story. Altered Carbon will make you realise that death is a safe
