Pacific Rim Uprising, for example, is just over two months away, and our sister publication Total Film magazine has the latest scoop, with these new exclusive photos from the set of the Kaiju ass-kicking sequel. The real treat, though, is another glimpse at some Jaeger on Jaeger action, promising a different kind of fight scene to the ones we’re used to from the Pacific Rim franchise. Pacific Rim Uprising will be in cinemas on March 23, but you can read more about it in the latest issue of Total

You might have noticed that a trailer – see below – recently dropped for the new Slender Man horror movie. Notable for being taken the day which fourteen children vanished and for what is referred to as “The Slender Man”. Fantastic frights The 25 best horror moviesBut whatever the reasons for his instinctive, collective adoption, the Slender Man was here to stay. Now of course, the story of the Slender Man is not responsible for this tragedy. No-one involved in creating the Slender Man mythology

With that in mind, here’s everything you need to know about the Nintendo Labo, from what the heck it is, to how much it’ll cost and when you can get it. But first, watch the trailer below and prepare to fully appreciate the magic of something as simple as cardboard:What is the Nintendo Labo? The Nintendo Labo kits come with a game cartridge that pops straight into your Switch and acts as your instruction manual for building the constructions, which Nintendo is calling Toy-Cons. You won’t have lo

The Blu-ray is coming with only a single deleted scene – and it gets worse (for those of you in America, anyway). According to Screen Crush, the US release – it hasn’t been confirmed worldwide yet – will come with just one deleted scene. You can’t just go to any old place to buy your Justice League Blu-ray. Amazon’s UK store shows no reference to any deleted scene, nor any other bonus features. Surely Justice League won’t confine its one deleted scene to a chain of stores in the US?

The Han Solo movie is slowly but surely pulling back the curtain. He has kind words to say about the “amazing” work of Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo, as well as Donald Glover’s Lando Calrissian. The most interesting thing for Star Wars fans – especially those burned by Star Wars: The Last Jedi – is that the movie apparently has an “old Star Wars feel to it.” By old, I’m guessing he means more original Star Wars and less Phantom Menace which, lest we forget, is somehow nearing its 20th (!) Flick a

After much debate, posturing and social media fury – and what element of sports gaming doesn’t trigger debate, posturing and social media fury? – FIFA 18’s Ultimate Team Of The Year has landed, with good news for Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric and Lionel Messi. Alright, those names aren’t exactly surprises, particularly as the ‘TOTY’ was in part decided based upon community votes. But there are a couple of permanent fixtures in the team who’ve been ousted, at last, which in itself constitutes a

Have you been watching the Overwatch League and fantasizing about playing at the Blizzard Arena yourself? It’s a long road to esports stardom, but if you live in the UK and are 16 or over, you could take a serious shortcut with the OMEN by HP Bootcamp at the PC Gamer Weekender. The two best teams will win an all-expenses-paid trip to the PC Gamer Weekender in London on February 18, plus oodles of gear from OMEN. At the event, you’ll get a day of lessons in everything from strategy to teamwork to

And, it turns out, that extra day is… today. Late last night, the Bandai Namco Twitter account announced that an extra day for open beta testing would commence on January 17 (that’s today) at 9pm Pacific / January 18 at 5am GMT. This second round will last 24 hours, and then – presumably – that’s all the 2D DBZ fighting action you’ll get until the Dragon Ball FighterZ release date of January 26. Bandai Namco hasn’t confirmed if this same roster will be the one available starting tonight, but I

A new map and loot box items are coming to Overwatch next Tuesday, January 23, according to the game’s official Twitter account. This isn’t just any map and collection of skins though – this time it’s all about the studio that makes Overwatch what it is: Blizzard. Welcome to Blizzard World:First revealed at BlizzCon 2017, Blizzard World is a digital Disneyland-esque amusement park, with rides and attractions based on Blizzard games. While the Overwatch Twitter account technically only specified

A canceled game, a shuttered studio, and close to two years later, it looks like Fable is ready for a comeback. According to Eurogamer, Playground is hiring on significant numbers of new staff to get ready for full-scale production on the new Fable project (read: don’t expect a release date or even an official announcement anytime soon). More sources confirm that a new Fable is being developed by Playground Games, and it’ll be primarily worked on in the UK. Fable is one of my favorite series 💕 h

It’s hardly fresh, but the spectacle is decent and the relationship dynamics absorb just enough to fill the lengthy run time. “This is a long way from the Glade,” says teen hero Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster) to Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), Brenda (Rosa Salazar) and their ragtag pals while staring at the walled city they must infiltrate in order to rescue pal Minho (Ki Hong Lee) and bring down WICKED, the corporation who experimented on them like lab rats. Yes, it is a long way, and unfortunately this

Black Lightning is not only getting audiences abuzz, but critics too. For those not in the know, Black Lightning – secret identity Jefferson Pierce – is a DC superhero infused with, you guessed it, electric super-powers. Often relegated to historical footnote, he’s been handed the reins for his own superhero show. For those curious about seeing what all the fuss is about,, Black Lightning airs Sundays at 9pm EST on CW and will premiere on Netflix in the UK on January 23. Black Lightning’s origin

Don’t take my word for it – the Avengers: Infinity War synopsis is all too happy to hammer home the fact that someone is going to die. An Avenger is almost certainly biting the dust in Infinity War. “An unprecedented cinematic journey ten years in the making and spanning the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Infinity War brings to the screen the ultimate, deadliest showdown of all time. That whole ‘deadliest showdown of all time’ is worrying enough but that’s small pota

The Han Solo movie may not have a trailer (yet), but releasing the synopsis is always a good first step. Here’s the synopsis from Disney in full:“Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in Solo: A Star Wars Story, an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy. Confirming what we already assumed, Han and Chewie will meet for the first time during the course of the movie. Elsewhere, we’ve got all the makings of a movie that meshes Ocean’s Eleven – tho

Well, this is the world of Metal Gear Survive, the first Metal Gear from Konami since its falling out with Kojima. Set just after the events of Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes, Metal Gear Survive starts with a wormhole sucking up the remains of the besieged Mother Base and whatever was left of the Militaires Sans Frontières soldiers. Aside from some sound effects, a few cardboard boxes and some other subtle nods to previous games, this is very much not a Metal Gear game. It’s clear that this i

“I was in a building, and I was going down in the elevator and a couple of guys were in there. They got out and I saw that it was Respawn studios, and I’m like ‘Titanfall, holy shit!’ Roiland mimes taking out his phone: “So I follow him, we start DMing; I’m like ‘Dude, I’m in your building.'” “The best stuff is the stuff that isn’t too over-thought, at least in the comedic sense,” says Roiland. The gamey side of Accounting+ is very basic, but then there’s all the narrative crazy voices and all t

Though not explicitly designed as a party game, Scribblenauts was always best enjoyed in a room full of slap-happy friends shouting out word salad for you to gleefully summon. Scribblenauts Showdown, the first new game in the series since that weird DC Comics crossover Scribblenauts Unmasked game, will make the party official with support for up to four players and a selection of multiplayer-focused modes. Showdown is the proper Party Mode, with support for up to four players making their way ac

Fans of WWE 2K18 have had a rollercoaster few months, with the fight sim still exhibiting critical bugs months after release – but there’s a bit of good news for them today with its final DLC pack now available for download. The pack, entitled Enduring Icons, delivers five additional stars to 2K18’s already colossal roster, the biggest of which are Matt and Jeff Hardy. Matt last featured in WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2011, while Jeff exited the series – until now – after predecessor Smackdown vs Raw 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 won’t be out for at least a little while longer (developer Rockstar Games still hasn’t given a more specific date than ‘spring 2018’), but since when have little things like ‘facts’ gotten in the way of the internet? If you head over to Amazon right now, you can look up user reviews for the highly-anticipated cowboy simulator, and boy are they a treat. SpeedyGonzales, who gave the game a 5-star rating, wrote: “This game is going to ruin my marriage. My wife will walk out on

The ancient Egypt of Assassin’s Creed Origins will scoot a little closer to modernity when The Hidden Ones arrives on January 23. Assassin’s Creed Origins DLC 1: The Hidden OnesThe Hidden Ones takes place five years after Origins’ main campaign. Assassin’s Creed Origins DLC 2: The Curse of the PharaohsYou didn’t think you’d get all the way through a western-developed game about ancient Egypt without fighting some mummies, did you? On the back-end, this second DLC expansion will bump the level ca
