X-Files is back, and the first episode of the new season focuses on Dana Scully’s son William. In a recent interview with SFX Magazine, star David Duchovny – aka Fox Mulder – revealed that he’d like to see a spin-off featuring the little guy. “Sometimes, I think William should have his own show, and that’s how they should just continue it and go spin it off with this kid,” he says. Duchovny actually directed an X-Files episode called William in season nine. Morgan is a regular writer on the show

Where the Water Tastes Like Wine is a game with ambition matched only by the tongue twisting required to say its title. You know, the group behind hits like “Don’t Stand So Close To Me,” “Roxanne,” and of course, “Every Breath You Take”. The anthropomorphic canine serves as Where the Water Tastes Like Wine’s narrator as players journey through more than 100 years of American history and folklore in the story-focused game. Seems a little odd, given that Sting was born and raised in the UK, but ma

And to show that’s okay, one former Firaxis dev aired his own dirty laundry and asked others to confess their screw-ups on Twitter. The opening/closing valve animation in first Mirror’s Edge is turning the valve the wrong way. Turns out the original Mirror’s Edge got some details wrong, like which way you turn a valve to open it. I flew to the US with a demo to show the license holder a build of the (ps1) game. Check out more responses on Twitter, or if you’ve experienced some stumbles of your o

Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO John Kodera made the pronouncement in a humbly-worded Twitter response to a PlayStation fan’s concerns. When console manufacturers make their own games, they’re not just trying to sell those games. They’re trying to make their platforms as desirable as possible. By emphasizing traditionally crowd-pleasing games in its own portfolio, Sony keeps fans happy, sells more PS4s, and cultivates a thriving platform for all kinds of titles. That includes ga

The way Xbox One players earn and show off their achievements (and Achievements) could change soon with the rumored addition of a new “Career” feature. According to a report from Windows Central, there are documents and features which refer to this new system, including levels, prestige ranks, and loot crates for the upcoming Avatar revamp. “We are working towards a bigger, more meaningful change about somebody’s gaming accomplishments in history, as a gamer on Xbox. It should be noted that per

The official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account just ended more than four years of silence. What the hell are we supposed to make of it? Normally that’s the kind of silly little message you’d scroll right past, but after so long and hearing so little about Cyberpunk 2077, people were just happy for the utter radio silence to be over. That said, if you look at the HTML encoding for the tweet you can find a hidden messa- kidding. Also, you don’t just leave an account idle for four years, send a single

Instead, the main thrust of this update is to make it easy for players to enjoy Overwatch League, the Blizzard-crafted esports gaming organization. The other new feature are Overwatch League skins. And just like an NFL, NBA, or FIFA fan can buy and wear a jersey showing off their support for a particular team or player, so too can Overwatch players now buy League skins repping their favorite Overwatch League team. League skins can only be purchased with League Tokens, a new currency being introd

In March, Sea of Thieves and A Way Out release within just a few days of each other. I hope my doubts about Sea of Thieves are proved wrong come March. It takes twoThen there’s A Way Out; a game which can only be played as a split-screen co-op experience, either online or through local play. It remains to be seen whether the same can be said of 2018’s upcoming roster of co-op titles. When Overkill’s website specifically states that “teamwork is paramount” for its “four player co-op action FPS” T

The recently-released Black Mirror season 4 episode Hang The DJ continues to break down these boundaries once again, equally using romance to further explore the spectrum of artificial escapism. In many ways, both of Black Mirror’s romance-driven episodes could be deemed the inverse of each other. When viewing it in this light, Yorkie and Kelly’s decision to stay in San Junipero might appear suddenly bleaker, but (lest we forget) their only other choice was certain death. This sense of lingering

Star Wars: The Last Jedi might have had a shocking moment (or twelve), but it never addressed that intriguing itch we were all aching to see scratched before we headed into theaters: Just who the hell is the First Order’s Supreme Leader? Director Rian Johnson, though, has finally opened up about why he didn’t open up. I mean, there are probably better ways – and I’m sure Johnson knows that – to reveal a character’s backstory than a straight-up monologue. Well, you never know… Johnson has left

It’s time for another chapter in the saga of the Han Solo movie’s never-ending reshoots. The movie is out in May and we’ve got *check notes* no trailer, controversy surrounding earlier productions, directors being fired and MORE. Hold your space horses on this one, though, it’s not nearly as awful as you might be expecting. Still, though, it’s understandable everyone’s getting a little edgy when we’ve seen little to no hype when it comes to the movie. Having said that, with production almost win

For some, romance is flowers and chocolates; for others, it’s securing that perfect Destiny 2 hand cannon with a favorite clan member. If you’re planning to spend Valentine’s Day running raids with your fellow Guardians, we’ve got good news: the Crimson Days event is coming back. Crimson Days is coming back,” said Bungie community manager Cozmo23 in a Reddit post. The new version will – according to data posted on the same Reddit thread – include a return of the Crimson Doubles mode, weapon orna

You might think the pirate life is all rum and stylish eye patches, but it’s also about hoisting the sails, navigating the seas and proper cannon management. You can find out for yourself with a new Sea of Thieves closed beta on Xbox One that runs from from 12 p.m. GMT on January 24 to 8 a.m. GMT on January 29. “We’ve crafted a bespoke experience for Closed Beta players that offers a true taste of the pirate life and a great chance to get your sea legs ahead of March 20,” promises Joe Neate, exe

An extended cut of Justice League could be headed to shelves when DC’s superhero team-up flick comes to DVD and Blu-ray later this year, if an Amazon Germany posting is anything to go by. In the official listing for a “Limited Edition,” Justice League is said to be 135 minuten. You don’t even need to speak German to know that translates to 135 minutes – approximately 15 minutes longer than the theatrical cut we got last November. Nothing personal against Justice League, but from a business sense

You’ve probably seen Dragon Ball FighterZ’s nostalgia-perfect cartoon visuals in screenshots or trailers by now, but starting this weekend, you can try the game out for yourself. The Dragon Ball FigherZ open beta will begin for all on Sunday, January 14 at midnight PST (8am BST), with a 24-hour headstart the previous day for folks who digitally pre-order the game on PS4 and Xbox One. The open beta will end on January 15 at 11:59pm PST (January 16 at 7:59am BST). Dragon Ball FighterZ open beta pl

With the Golden Globes now behind us, it’s time to turn our eyes toward the next big award show. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (or BAFTA for short) has just released its list of nominees for the 71st BAFTA awards, with the ceremony set to commence on February 18. The Shape of Water, Guillermo del Toro’s love story inspired by the classic monster movie Creature From the Black Lagoon, leads the pack with 12 nominations, including Best Director. Blade Runner 2049 is even more of a

Even if you’re not signed up to test the updates ahead of time, you can typically look forward to their features rolling out for everybody in the weeks or months ahead. Here are the four biggest changes you should know about ahead of time (especially if you just got one of those nice new Xbox One X bundles over the holidays, or are thinking of getting one soon). Guide’s “Next Achievements” feature streamlines your huntSometimes you play games to play games, other times you play games to get chee

You can still get tickets for the rest of the games at https://t.co/JUmTebz1Dq pic.twitter.com/ImVO4ydNFqJanuary 7, 2018But unlike other established eSports, Overwatch is still young. The Overwatch League is particularly ambitious then, as it looks to not only take on the eSports market, but also to push it mainstream. The Overwatch League has also been built to expand the eSport’s appeal internationally, in part through team branding. The Teams to Look out for:The 12 teams taking part have brou

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who has the worst facial hair of them all? If you guessed goatee Sarek then congratulations. You’d be surprised how much the preview fits into 30 seconds, but, then again, Star Trek Discovery is no ordinary show. Arguably the best thing going on television right now, the teaser for next week’s episode hammers home the identity crisis everyone is suffering through after ‘playing’ their devious Terran Empire doppelgangers. All in all, then, we’re looking at quite the ep

If Black Panther isn’t on your radar, then, well, why not? Don’t take my word for it, the new trailer is more than enough. While new scenes are few and far between, we do get a closer look at nominative determinism poster boy Erik Killmonger. Having been one of the few (literal) bright spots while playing the Human Torch in the toothless Fantastic Four reboot, Michael B. Jordan is only too keen to own every scene he’s in here. Though I’m a little worried that she’s flanking Killmonger in one of
