As for this upcoming Iron Banner event, the mode du jour is Clash, otherwise known as team deathmatch. Iron Banner will beg

If you were watching the Golden Joystick Awards with us, you just saw a beautiful new trailer for Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom. No need to go scrambling around on YouTube to watch it again, we have the whole thing ready for unlimited viewing right here. And if you weren’t tuned into the Joysticks, don’t worry, I won’t tell my boss if you still check out the trailer. Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom will be released on January 19, 2018, so at least you don’t have much waiting left to do the seque

Might I suggest taking a look at Code Vein, which debuted a new trailer today as part of the 2017 Golden Joystick Awards? But unlike those games, Code Vein is being developed in-house at Bandai Namco, with Hiroshi Yoshimura at the helm as director. Yoshimura previously worked on the God Eater games, as did several other staff currently assigned to Code Vein. The stylized look isn’t all that makes Code Vein unique, mind you. Code Vein is scheduled for a 2018 release, so it hopefully won’t be long

Attending the third annual PC Gamer Weekender could be the first (or next) step in your career as an esports athlete. OMEN by HP is returning as headline sponsor of the event and it’s bringing along the all-new OMEN by HP Bootcamp in partnership with the ESL.

Xur’s returned to the fold in Destiny 2 this week, and he’s brought an exotic rifle with him! It’s a returning weapon from the first Destiny, but don’t let it’s age belie you; this one’s a beauty. Xur’s also got Lucky Raspberry chest armour for Hunters, Syntheoceps Titan gauntlets, and Karnstein Armlets for the Warlock. Xur’s on Titan this week, within the main rig, so head there to get started. After you spawn, head left and hop down the ledge up ahead.

Stranger Things season 2 loves playing around with ‘80s references as well as plenty of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it background shenanigans to hint at what’s coming next. It all ties in to Hopper’s flashbacks from season 1 and one of season 2’s most bloody episodes. Spoilers for Stranger Things season 2 follow…It’s probably been a few weeks since you binged it in a hazy, sleepless weekend so let’s rewind a little. Remember episode 8 of Stranger Things 2, the one with that death and most of the gang

We’ve almost reached peak Star Wars: The Last Jedi. There are a few fresh scenes sprinkled about in the new TV spot, and they nearly all have to do with Luke in some way. The spot is wise to centre around Rey and Luke’s relationship – and the Jedi Master’s dalliance with The Dark Side. What do you make of the TV spot? For more Star Wars: The Last Jedi goodness, check out why Rey doesn’t really care about Porgs.

Your TV screen will be filled with dozens upon dozens of supermen (and women) next year, thanks to Syfy’s upcoming TV show, Krypton. Read on to find out with the five things you need to know about DC’s latest super show. Superman’s grandad is centralFather to Jor-El and grandfather to Kal-El, Seg-El must redeem his family’s honour after growing up in the planet’s Rankless district. “The Rankless district,” says executive producer Damian Kindler, who developed Krypton with David Goyer, “is the ol

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is ditching one of its most controversial features: microtransactions. Our goal has always been to create the best possible game for all of you – devoted Star Wars fans and game players alike. We hear you loud and clear, so we’re turning off all in-game purchases. This means that the option to purchase crystals in the game is now offline, and all progression will be earned through gameplay. The ability to purchase crystals in-game will become available at a later date, on

If you’re about to start playing Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, you might be wondering how to get your hands on one of its exclusive Pokémon, the Dusk Form Lycanroc. Everyone’s coveting it because Ash’s Rockruff evolves into the Dusk Form Lycanroc in the Pokémon Sun and Moon anime series. How to get the Dusk Form LycanrocUnfortunately for anyone who isn’t super organised, there’s only one way to the Dusk Form Lycanroc for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. Instead, the special Rockruff is an e

Remember when you first heard that Hollywood was going to adapt the classic Midway arcade game, Rampage? And then you learned it would star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson? And you thought to yourself, “How would that even work?” I have to say, this movie looks like it will be one of the most ’90s-style blockbusters in recent memory. Still, with a trailer that shows The Rock vs Negan while rip-offs of King Kong, Godzilla, and Fenrir destroy a major city, I think it’ll start picking up some word of mou

You’ll appreciate the new Clarion Call event, which offers players double XP for lootin’ and shootin’. The first of these Calls is scheduled to begin at 10am Pacific / 6pm GMT on Friday, November 17 and run until 10am Pacific / 6pm GMT on Monday, November 20.

It’s also the first of many, as Bungie has said that Clarion Calls are to be a week

The newest Overwatch hero’s confinement to test servers is over: Moira is now playable everywhere across PC and consoles. The mad-science powered healer who was introduced at Blizzcon earlier this month uses a unique, almost vampiristic approach to dishing out pain and helping her allies. first day moira (not v good but u kno) pic.twitter.com/dcJMjnvt8CNovember 16, 2017Even if you don’t want to try Moira, you should probably still log back into Overwatch today. I usually play healers myself, but

It turns out Fantastic Beasts 2 won’t be called More Fantastic Beasts and Where Else to Find Them. Warner Bros. Entertainment announced today that the film is officially titled Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald and that it’s coming out on November 16, 2018. In one year, return to the Wizarding World with Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. If Harry Potter keeps going deeper into the past like this I’m going to start expecting a Merlin cameo.

With Black Friday and Christmas just around the corner, there will be plenty of you wondering whether you should buy a PS4 Pro if you don’t have a 4K TV. Should you buy a PS4 Pro if you own a 1080p TV? Even if you don’t have a 4K TV, the extra $100 over the base PS4 buys you a /lot/ more power. Compared to paying $1000/£1000 or more for a 4K-capable PC, spending $399/£349 on a PS4 Pro suddenly seems like quite the deal. The PS4 Pro clearly a well designed system with some seriously clever upscal

Blizzard announced the next expansion for hit card battling game Hearthstone at Blizzcon this month, and it’s called Kobolds & Catacombs. In this first installment we catch a shadowy glimpse of the biggest kobold of them all, King Togwaggle.

This year’s Justice League movie might be another DC stinker, but it does still have one major thing going for it. Let me break down exactly why the 1997 Justice League of America movie is so delightfully terrible, point by point. Along the way, the villainous Weather Man repeatedly ransoms New Metro city with meteorological disaster, while the Justice League really don’t do much at all to discover his identity. The Weather Man is triggering a tsunami, because the city didn’t pay him and the Jus

And while he’s clearly talking about real football, they can surely be applied to the game on whose cover he currently resides: FIFA 18. Sliders change everythingA common criticism of FIFA 18 – and most of its predecessors – is that it’s too slow. For Half Length, set to 5, 6, or 7 minutes, and select the Slow option for Game Speed. His advice is to think about when and where you unleash the sprint button, rather than holding it down by default – as 90% of FIFA players do. There’s an assumption

Collectibles and video games have a long, shared history, one that stretches back to the earliest days of the arcade. As games have continued to expand and diversify, so too has the way collectibles are implemented, for better in some cases but for worse in many. You got the fruit, grabbed the treasure, ate the flies because it earned you points; points that earned you and your three letter avatar a slot on the leaderboards and, by proxy, bragging rights. But the largest and most intrusive sin t
