It isn’t all clowns, sewers and red balloons, you know. Alongside the Losers’ Club are the stereotypical teen bullies – the Bowers Gang – fronted by all-round terrible person Henry Bowers. Except he’s even worse than we originally thought, as shown by this deleted scene. Thankfully, this deleted scene fleshes it out – pun absolutely intended – somewhat. Sitting in his friend Belch’s car, Henry is shown to be caked in blood, stalking the Losers’ Club, and practising his best Negan whistle.

Blizzard World opens its doors soonThis Hybrid map was first teased at Blizzcon back in November, and we’re getting super close to its debut beyond the test servers. More new maps will follow after Blizzard World throughout 2018. Hero 27 is well on the wayJeff Kaplan says Blizzard is “well along the path” to Overwatch’s next playable character, who he thinks is “very needed”. Competitive Mode may get some big changesBlizzard typically makes small tweaks to Competitive Mode between each season, l

In 2018, Far Cry 5 players can stumble onto an optional mission that will have them hunting down fresh testicles for the local culinary celebration, Testy Festy. Far Cry 5 feels more open than ever before, so the emotional and the crazy is all mixed into one massive cocktail. “There are going to be times when you go through and you find something that’s poignant, something that’s powerful, something that’s earnest. This wild experimentation is part of what keeps the Far Cry series so fresh. “It’

Just over a year after The Last Guardian arrived on PS4, Gen Design updated its website with well-wishes for the New Year and a verrrrry long image. The source is found at the base of the image: a young woman lifting herself up from a stone dais. Something a bit furry? ResetEra user Rösti poked a bit deeper into the image’s source script, which revealed a layer named “Beauty and the Beast 2018.” The Last Guardian took seven years to arrive after it was first announced in 2009.

After watching ace pilot Poe Dameron at work in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, you’re probably all the more eager for a return to the days of Rogue Squadron and X-Wing vs. The space battles of Star Wars Battlefront 2 are good, but this 2016 pitch video from the developers of Rebel Galaxy will show you what a full-fledged Star Wars space combat game could look like in modern times. So far, the only games to result from EA’s Star Wars deal have been Star Wars Battlefront, Star Wars Battlefront 2, and t

I just want somewhere to grow my own plants, attract wildlife and… then watch those first beasties get violently devoured, by bigger, more impressive ones to keep in my garden. Since I don’t have anywhere like that in real life I’ve decided to revisit Viva Pinãta: Trouble In Paradise’s little garden of horrors and wanton candy-based slaughter. Though sitting around in a garden all day isn’t quite as relaxing as I thought it would be. That constant battle with your tiny plot as you slowly impr

If you’ve been stuck in that ‘is it worth getting a Xbox One X without a 4K TV?’ loop for a while, then here’s a solution: get an Xbox One X with a 4K TV and save £100 in the process from Currys. The deal’s valid for any 4K TV by adding a Xbox One X your basket with it, and using the code XBOX100 at checkout.

The Mad Titan is sure to be the bad guy on everyone’s lips when Avengers: Infinity War rolls around on May 4, 2018. Judging by the directors’ comments, though, I don’t think we’re quite ready for just how much Thanos is going to dominate the third Avengers movie. Speaking to Sina Weibo (H/T ComicBook.com), co-director Joe Russo was asked which character he’s excited for fans to see. A lowkey Thanos movie inside an Avengers movie? Marvel might have finally fixed their big, bad Big Bad problem.

Sure, it’s 2018 but we can’t just up and leave Star Wars: The Last Jedi in the past now, can we? The burning question of the identity of Rey’s parents was seemingly answered, but according to a new interview, Rian Johnson deliberately left things open for Star Wars 9 to conclusively answer. With an eye towards the future, Johnson revealed that you can never say never when it comes to Star Wars retcons and revelations. Surely the story group behind the curtain has it all figured out and won’t let

Spoiler warning: Significant story spoilers for Horizon Zero Dawn are below. I’m not describing the end of a horror movie: this hopeless image is the foundation Horizon: Zero Dawn is built on. Read more Horizon Zero Dawn’s Aloy encouraged me to go looking for my birth parentsI spoke to John Gonzalez, Guerrilla’s Narrative Director. “The idea for Project: Zero Dawn was inspired by my desire to make our apocalypse as bad as it could be,” he said. Thanks to Horizon’s audio logs, we’re taken through

The narrative then whips back and forth to establish exactly why, building a multi-layered picture of our gutsy, gung-ho, heroine. “Victim of circumstance,” he begins, but the key to Molly’s character is how she refuses to be a victim of hers. Featuring witty switchbacks, montages within montages and plenty of shouty Sorkin power-plays, it’s a whirlwind watch. Chastain and Elba deserve Oscar noms, and Sorkin’s second Best Adapted Screenplay award (after The Social Network) is a sure thing. Direc

Crack open the shell of the Jedi and the first face shown might belong to Japanese auteur Akira Kurosawa. Going by the RPG game of the same name, the Knights of the Old Republic included ’saber-swingers such as Jolee Bindo. Meanwhile, young Anakin fatefully became Obi-Wan’s apprentice, despite Yoda’s unsettling reservation that he was too old to start training (er, nine). We meet Jedi survivors of Palpatine’s purge, such as blind Jedi Kanan Jarrus, whose Padawan is the street-smart Ezra Bridger.

The following titles are all perfectly passable and surely brought someone joy, but they made such minimal impact at launch that they simply drowned in 2017’s sea of standout games. Let’s jog your memory and break down why these games landed with such a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it thud. For HonorPlatforms(s): PS4, Xbox One, PCUbisoft first announced For Honor at E3 2015, then it did everything in its power to hype it up as an all-new form of fierce esports competition.

Obi-Wan vs. General Grievous – Revenge Of The SithWhat’s better than two lightsabers? Ben’s brain bender – A New HopeHalted by a five-man stormtrooper patrol as they enter Mos Eisley, things look dodgy for Luke, Obi-Wan and their droid companions.

The former World of Warcraft devs who formed Frostkeep Studios are bringing their new multiplayer survival title, Rend, to the PC Gamer Weekender . It’s a 60-player competitive survival title where three factions of 20 players try to outlast their opponents, in matches that can last… well, months. PC Gamer had a look at Rend earlier in 2017 – check out the preview here – in which the game was described as “a survival game that blends the RPG progression of World of Warcraft and the competitive

So it’s time to jump on your horse and ride off to Novigrad for a proper city break experience. It’s also fantastically dirty in a way that gives you a real sense of what living in the city is like. Further into the city you’ll start to find more recreational pursuits, particularly around Hierarch Square. It’s part of what makes Novigrad feel so realistic; it’s not all pretty ancient buildings and impressive bridges, there are plenty of dark corners to explore too. Everything about the city and

Steve Carell – Anchorman (2004)From the cheesy suit down, Carell is man-child Brick Tamland in this delicious screen test. “I wasn’t even sure I wanted to be in a movie!” If anyone else had doubts, her screen test obliterated them. Tom Hardy – Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)It isn’t just the shiny bonce: the road to Bane is scrawled all over Hardy’s screen test as villainous Picard clone Praetor Shinzon. A deep empathy pierces her screen test: as she folds into herself, you believe this is a woman cru

Before Dunwall, there was City 17. Thousands of words have been devoted already to explaining how great Half-Life 2 is to play, but that’s only a fraction of its legacy. It might read like hyperbole, but a great deal of what we know about effective video game storytelling today was incubated in Valve’s 2004 opus. There’s no mystery why the internet still cries out for Half-Life 3, even after a glut of post-apocalypses and rich video game fictions: Half-Life 2’s world made us care what happens to

A dark allegory about inhumanity, in which a trio of humans explore a planet orbiting the star Betelgeuse, which is populated by intelligent apes, the book launched one of the biggest franchises ever made. Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971) took us back through time to the present day, taking aim at media culture & celebrities. By 2014, of course, cinemagoers had already been reintroduced to POTA via Tim Burton’s oft-forgotten, mostly maligned 2001 Planet of the Apes. Led by Andy Serkis’
