Everyone dreams of being a Jedi Knight at some point in their lives, especially now that Star Wars: The Last Jedi is nearly upon us. The word “Jedi” has its roots in JapanThe word ‘Jedi’ is derived from the Japanese word “jidaigeki”, which translates as “period drama” (specifically samurai TV soap operas). The Jedi weren’t the first Force usersIn Star Wars lore, an order known as “Je’Daii” came before the modern Jedi. The first twelve left the Jedi Order to become “Dark Jedi” who founded the fir

Just as the Golden Joystick Awards give us a glimpse at upcoming games like Code Vein and Ni no Kuni 2 , The Game Awards brings with it a bevy of surprise reveals and new trailers. So we’ve done the sifting for you, giving you the biggest and best moments from the show in one easy-to-parse place.

– we finally have the full list of winners for The Game Awards 2017. No one will be surprised to hear that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild took home the biggie, Game of the Year, as well as Best Action/Adventure Game and Best Game Direction. Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice took home three awards, Best Audio, Best Performance, and Games For Impact, while Cuphead grabbed Best Independent Game, Best Indie Debut Game, and Best Art Direction. The Game Awards 2017 also recognized the incredible c

A new trailer for Death Stranding was revealed at The Game Awards, and though it was easily the most concrete yet… it was somehow also more puzzling than the last two. But hey, at least we know what Norman Reedus’ character is named now! These beasts leave the same big, creepy handprints that we saw in the first trailer for the game. Probably the same one we last saw Norman Reedus carrying in the last Death Stranding trailer? Like I said, it was a pretty puzzling trailer.

It took half a decade, but the next numbered installment in the long-running Soul Calibur franchise (or SoulCalibur, without the space, if you’re being nitpicky) is coming in 2018. Unfortunately for fans of SoulCalibur lore, there don’t seem to be many hints about what’s happened since SoulCalibur 5. Whoever they are, it looks like they balance good guy-looking gear and bad guy-looking gear. Notice the pristine silver gauntlet holding the weapon, while their other gauntlet looks more spiked and

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’s second DLC just got a surprise release after its first trailer debuted at The Game Awards, and that’s not even the weirdest thing that happened tonight. You’ll have to clear all of the expansion’s new challenges before you can unlock it but, then, yep, Link gets a motorcycle. We know the story will let us get to know Zelda and the four champions a bit better – though, um, the Champions are all long since dead by the time Breath of the Wild actually takes

In The Valley Of Gods looks like it will continue the developer’s focus on creating stunning visuals and telling personal stories. Check it out:Interestingly, there is a real place called Valley of the Gods, but this game doesn’t seem to take place there. The real Valley is in Utah, which this… doesn’t seem to be. They appear to be explorers, and the use of black and white would suggest this game doesn’t take place in modern times. In The Valley Of Gods won’t be out until 2019, but expect to h

The Kobolds & Catacombs expansion is here and to celebrate Blizzard has outdone itself with an 1980s style trailer. The Light Candle will bring back memories for anyone who lost their childhood minds over Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal, and features Star Wars Battlefront II’s Janina Gavankar. Note to Blizzard: we will pay actual money to see a full-length version of The Light Candle. So if you felt like you didn’t have a very big collection or you’re new to the game, you can get the full experie

Today, Square Enix revealed that a new Tomb Raider game is coming. Of course, just because Square Enix is playing coy doesn’t mean we don’t have some insight about the title. Last October, a Redditor spied the title “Shadow of the Tomb Raider” on a laptop being used on the Montreal subway. Put those pieces of evidence together and don’t be too surprised if Shadow of the Tomb Raider gets announced next year and we see Lara make a trip to the Americas. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Shadow of the

Mild spoilers for Justice League ahead! Although he perished at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, pretty much everyone knew the last son of Krypton was coming back for Justice League. Speaking to Inverse, Justice League cinematographer Fabian Wagner said that scenes featuring Superman in his black suit were indeed filmed, but were not used in the final cut. It’s interesting Wagner specifically calls out Zack Snyder, who helmed Justice League until a family tragedy resulted in his re

Has any movie star ever had higher billing (he was second only to Harrison Ford) for less screen time? “As you know from the trailer, Luke says it’s time for the Jedi to end,” Hamill points out. People say, ‘Is it more like Jedi, is it more like Empire?’ I dunno, it’s sort of like its own thing.”Journey’s endWhile Lucas’s three Star Wars prequels were content to build a galaxy far, far away on computer monitors, the new breed of Star Wars movie has taken a more tactile approach. There’s a real a

These are the Lost Prophecies available from Brother Vance on Mercury; essentially 11 side-quests that come with the added bonus of receiving a guaranteed Legendary weapon for completing each one. This guide details everything you need to know about the Lost Prophecies, The Forge, and why it’s going to take you quite some time to get all of those 11 Legendary weapons. Good, speak to Brother Vance once more and he will provide you with “Lost Prophecy, Verse 1.”Each Lost Prophecy verse comes beari

If you’ve been twiddling your Ancient Egyptian thumbs waiting for another god to appear in Assassin’s Creed Origins, don’t worry, Sekhmet has arrived to try and murder our new favourite hooded hero. The video above shows exactly what you’ll get for sending her packing and the best ways to stay alive when she starts sending out fireballs. There’s also a tiny spoiler if you haven’t already finished the story but we’ve labelled it up so you can watch and not worry. Once Sekhmet has tumbled back int

Well, it is the game really, as the only map in play (until PUBG’s new desert map Mirarmar arrives). There’s a good chance of loot here, as well as running into other people looking for it so it’s a slightly risky area to hit first. However, there’s a high chance of finding a vehicle if you survive so worth considering when you’re more experienced. School, Rozhok (high risk)The school is a central location with a high chance of great gear, which is to say it’s fairly popular. The roads also mean

GTA Online is getting one of its biggest updates ever on December 12 thanks to The Doomsday Heist. Much like other heist scenarios, it’ll be a complex series of missions all culminating in one explosive and all-important goal. Take a look and see for yourself:The Doomsday Heist centers on an eclectic billionaire named Avon who believes that the end of the world is nigh. I’ll be honest: GTA Online (and the series in general) has been a bit too serious for my tastes for awhile now. But The Doomsda

Some people love to run Micro Uzi, while others think it might just be the worst gun in the whole game. It’s not amazing at range, but it is certainly better than a lot of options, and is one of the best all round weapons available. AKMThe AKM has the highest single shot damage of all the common assault rifles, and is great for anyone who is confident of hitting headshots. With an extended mag and a few other attachments this becomes perhaps the best close range weapon out there, so always keep

When space is tight in the early game you can totally ignore these and forget you ever saw them. BandagePerhaps a controversial choice, and certainly something you should pick up once you have more space, but in the early game you can skip these most of the time. The heal they give is pretty negligible and in the early game you probably won’t need to heal all that much anyway. This might be the most useless early game item out there. But, as the worst of the boosts out there, it is the one that
