The mightiest heroes of our time have banded together as the Justice League…” So trumpeted a house ad in 1960, hyping the first book devoted to all of DC’s icons from the fabled Silver Age of comics: Justice League of America. Now they’re on the big screen in this autumn’s Justice League movie. Justice League partners the film’s surviving heroes with Ezra Miller’s Flash, Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, and Ray Fisher’s Cyborg – when the Earth is threatened by the planet Apokolips. I enjoy them.”Miller

After a fairly ‘meh’ episode last week, Star Trek Discovery sees it’s mid-season break in with one hell of a finale. It’s got everything – space battles to salt the senses, emotionally-charged character developments, and a cliffhanger ending to end all cliffhanger endings. She isn’t dead and when Burnham and Tyler board the Sarcophagus ship they find and rescue her (which is also how they come across L’Rell by the way). Star Trek Discovery does not do subtly. Of course Tyler and Burnham are the

Fighting game fans, you’re about to witness some… interesting additions to the Injustice 2 and Tekken 7 rosters. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be making their way to Injustice 2 sometime in late 2017 / early 2018, and Final Fantasy 15’s Noctis will be going toe-to-toe with the cast of Tekken 7 in spring 2018. As for Noctis (excuse me, Prince Noctis Lucis Caelum) in Tekken 7, his inclusion was revealed as part of the Tekken World Tour Finals. Although there’s not much of a connection be

A sly and savage dark comedy, Ingrid Goes West is proof that you can make a good movie out of social media trends. But when Taylor replies to one of her comments, Ingrid heads to LA to find her. With some highly amusing stabs at LA clean living (“How can I nourish you today?” asks a waiter), Ingrid Goes West will leave you entertained, provoked and probably slightly concerned at how many times a day you log on to Instagram. THE VERDICT: A superb satirical swipe at the worst excesses of the socia

It’s taken a while but finally we’ve been given our first glimpse of Alden Ehrenreich in full Han Solo get-up in the Han Solo movie. It’s on a great big movie cup. He’s even decked out in full-on trademark Han Solo gear. It was obvious it was going to happen: Han isn’t Han without the off-white shirt, oversized belt and sweet jacket. For more, less beverage-based Han Solo movie content, check out a few rumours about the movie, including whether Jabba the Hutt will appear, and if the movie will b

The Walking Dead season 8 might still be able to pull something exciting out of the bag. ***Warning, contains spoilers for The Walking Dead S8.04***After the bombardment of action snapshots from the past two episodes of The Walking Dead season 8, episode 4 goes back to a more traditional format, focusing on just one storyline. The prelude with the speech and the families back at the Kingdom is clearly meant to play with our heartstrings. Combine Carol’s awesomeness with a car chase with the dari

The Walking Dead season 8 has been (typically) going at a shambling pace for this season – but episode 4 stepped things up a notch in a big way. There will be spoilers and, now that everyone has the wonder of 280 characters at their fingertips, plenty more to say about that moment and everything else that happened in The Walking Dead season 8, episode 4. Talk about shitty fucking writing… #TheWalkingDead13 November 2017*Guy gets split in half: doesn’t blink an eye*Shiva dies: what kind of sick

Just as Baby Driver opens with a “hum in the drum” over the company logos, Wright had tinnitus as a kid. Baby, a car-sharp getaway driver working for crime boss Doc (Kevin Spacey), wants out of the heist game. Beyond the cast, stunt coordinator/driver Jeremy Fry, editors Jonathan Amos and Paul Machliss, and DoP Bill Pope help keep Baby Driver limber and lush. Almost, because if Baby Driver is a Wright film, it also doesn’t entirely dodge his shortcomings. Whether Baby Driver needs one is debatab

Xur’s skulking back into our Destiny 2 lives and he’s got the exotic grenade launcher The Prospector this week! Where is Xur this week? Xur’s on Nessus this week in Watcher’s Grave so head there to get started. It’s a grenade launcher that can go full auto and fire at ridiculous rate. If you like something as destructive as a rocket launcher but better at closer ranges, this is a nice get.

But only now, looking back at three years of hard development work and realising it would all have to be thrown out, did he truly understand. If the publisher wasn’t sold on Doom ’s total change of direction, it would likely pull the plug. The accepted model for contemporary shooters didn’t apply to Doom – it wasn’t Call of Duty or Battlefield . Looking at the original game, Martin and Stratton knew the reboot needed colour, momentum and brio. “They say in game development if you’re going to fai

Even less so for the new Zelda game, Breath of the Wild. It took about three minutes to figure out Breath of the Wild was a special game. I’d faced Ganon in other Zelda games, but because of what Breath of the Wild had meant to me, this battle felt more intense than any of the others. I’m not saying Breath of the Wild cured me -you don’t exactly cure depression, certainly not with a video game. And that’s when Breath of the Wild dropped its final lesson on me.

Fresh player likenesses – or, to give them their official title, starheads – in FIFA are always a big deal. Particularly when it comes to the annual November update, which for FIFA 18 sees 53 brand new faces added to the game, along with six updated ones: Giovinco, David Silva, Andros Townsend, Raheem Sterling, Hugo Lloris, and Neymar. CM: Danny Williams (Huddersfield Town)The award for best likeness of all among the new 53 must go to United States international Williams. His much-discussed tear

As you sink hour after hour into Super Mario Odyssey, you might notice that the game has a few Easter eggs to discover. The nostalgia of Mario’s handEvery time Mario earns himself a Power Moon in Super Mario Odyssey, you should keep an eye on his hands. In previous 3D Super Mario games, Mario has celebrated success with a very specific hand gesture, all of which actually appear in Super Mario Odyssey. There’s the peace sign from Super Mario 64:And the open palm from Super Mario Sunshine:As well

But how about this: the first official Deadpool 2 poster is a play on, you guessed it, a 1940s Thanksgiving painting. But, hey, there’s something more familiar: a Stan Lee cameo – because of course there is.

Titanfall 2 was a brilliant game, and EA obviously thinks so too. It’s just splashed out and bought the development studio that created the game, Respawn. Respawn and EA have had a close relationship for years now, and EA isn’t shy about opening up its wallet to acquire new studios when it smells success. “With Titanfall and Star Wars, EA has been a great development partner that supports us and doesn’t interfere with our process for making games or studio culture. He also promised the games Res
