No, it doesn’t propose that Robert was secretly muttering spells over a flame in a deleted scene. The theory has its roots in the way he behaves towards particular Starks. Plus, Rickon is the youngest so the hair ruffle is probably the only way Robert would feasibly be able to interact with such a young lad. So, if Robert didn’t touch them and managed to predict their character arcs, does this mean Bran, Sansa, and Arya are going to live to a respectable old age? Or – hear me out – the remaining

Xur’s is back in Destiny 2and this time around, his big ticket item is the Fighting Lion Exotic Grenade Launcher with its shield damage capabilities. If you don’t want a new gun, there’s plenty of armour on offer too. Unfortunately for Warlocks this week, you’ve got the Wings of Sacred Dawn chest armour again. Xur’s gone back to his old haunt on Nessus this week, in the tree right by the Watcher’s Grave fast travel point. It’s mega slow reload time means that despite its heightened shield damage

The Golden Joystick Awards traditionally honour games released in the last 12 months. Hence the introduction of the new Still Playing category at the 35th Golden Joystick Awards Presented with Omen by HP, which pits venerable MMOs against the biggest games of the last few months. Final Fantasy XIV is another MMO that has gone from strength to strength over the last couple of years. Overwatch swept multiple categories at the 2016 Golden Joystick Awards, reflecting its rapid rise to the top of not

If you’ve got a great big horror gap in your life – or have just come back from behind the sofa after watching It – then Amazon’s new anthology series, Lore, might just be the ticket. Based on a long-running podcast series, the six episodes (out now on Amazon Prime) look at the historical influences behind some of horror’s biggest scares. Yes, possessed dolls might be real now. Taking a cue from Aaron Mahnke’s podcast series of the same name, the show blends a whole host of different techniques

The perfect blend of horror and heroes: The New Mutants. The first trailer is out now and, trust me, you won’t quite be prepared for this. Serving as a pseudo X-Men spinoff, The New Mutants sees a group of young mutants trapped in a secret hospital and fighting to escape. The trailer has all of the tropes you’d expect: nefarious nurses, a creepy children’s choir covering an ‘80s classic, and plenty of evil experiments. A superhero horror movie is a rare thing, and it looks like it’s going to be

So when I fire up Dark Souls 3 for the first time, I’m immediately intimidated. The opening area, the Cemetery of Ash, is home to withered creatures clad in moth-worn robes, and while they look more like confused geriatrics than fearsome fighters, I’m not taking any chances. I’ve heard that Dark Souls 3 opens with a surprisingly difficult boss battle, and that’s where I’m headed. Clearly, the problem here is that I’m too good at Dark Souls, so I quickly head back to the title screen, create anot

Excited for South Park: The Fractured But Whole? You should make sure to watch this week’s episode of the show if you haven’t already. After Professor Chaos (Butters) targets Cartman and the town’s heroes with fake Facebook posts about the depraved acts they apparently get into, the parents call in Mark Zuckerberg. He ends up being too much to handle, and… look, I won’t spoil the whole thing, but suffice to say plenty of trademark South Park madness and humor ensues. In comparison to that thre

Read on for more of the responses to specific Iron Banner issues. Players think it doesn’t feel like Iron Banner any moreEven though they were both dedicated PvP modes, the original Destiny’s Iron Banner felt pretty distinct from the Crucible. Then you turn those tokens in to rank up, which might give you Iron Banner loot… or it might give you gear you already have. D1 was rough, but you had a consolation prize for steam roll losses… gear.October 10, 2017Anyone else annoyed with this new Iron

The Gran Turismo series has always been the number one choice for the kind of hardcore racing fan that can identify a car from the sound of its exhaust alone. Now it’s building on that reputation, adding F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton to Gran Turismo Sport as a driving mentor. “I have been playing Gran Turismo since I was a child, so to actually be part of the gameplay design has been an incredible experience,” says Hamilton. From the video above, it looks as though the racer contributed feedb

Ever since Warner Bros. Interactive revealed that Middle-earth: Shadow of War would feature loot boxes, fans have been skeptical regarding their implementation. With the game finally in players’ hands, accusations of the system functioning as a pay-to-win scheme are running rampant – particularly as it applies to the game’s true ending. WARNING: Big ol’ Mordor-sized spoilers for Middle-earth: Shadow of War ahead. And this is where loot boxes come in; the loot boxes sold in Shadow of War can cont

Don’t worry Thor fans, you’ll get a little extra time with your Asgardian prince once the credits roll on Thor: Ragnarok. Which is really just my fancy way of saying yes, Thor 3 has a post-credits scene. Mendelson couldn’t say what the scenes depicted, but he did say what they weren’t: a teaser for Avengers: Infinity War. It’s possible there will be more than what Mendelson has reported here when Thor: Ragnarok debuts in a cinema near you. The trend has become so pervasive that there are now ent

Golf Story is one of the best Nintendo Switch games in a library that’s already remarkably strong for its age. Check out our list of the coolest upcoming Nintendo Switch games. It’s the ideal Nintendo Switch gameNo, I’m not saying Golf Story is a better game than The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. I’m saying Golf Story is the best-suited game to the Nintendo Switch console that I’ve ever played. I love Golf Story so much.

There’s been some consternation over Star Trek Discovery , Bryan Fuller and Alex Kurtzman’s new Star Trek prequel series, since it hit. Except that it really, really is. But Star Trek Discovery isn’t a show you should knee-jerk against. And for Star Trek, that’s much bigger. If Star Trek is to continue being Star Trek, then it has to deal with the questions of the day.

To an extent, the above scene could be from either Metro game, bespeaking the lack of significant evolution between 2033 and Last Light. But while Last Light may lack raw ambition, it does an incredible job of amping up the atmosphere and world-building. Bolstered by the naturalistic dialogue (co-written by author of the Metro novels, Dmitry Glukhovsky), Last Light feels incredibly human. There’s a good reason I’m talking about everything I did outside of combat in Last Light, because there’s le

Good luck trying to figure out the secrets behind this Stranger Things season 2 promo. The promo – titled Nosebleed – stars various closeups of Eleven intercut with her time with Dr. Brenner at Hawkins National Laboratory. Roll call: There’s 450, three to the right, four to the left, and a bunch of rainbows and sunflowers. For one thing, 450 is the road leading out of Hawkins, Indiana that Hopper and Joyce took when looking for Will in the first season. She’s shown a handful of times throughout

Little surprise then that Netflix has a new Original for you which tells the story of the birth of criminal psychology. Criminal psychology is something familiar to most of us whether we realise it or not. He doesn’t understand why these serial killers are doing what they’re doing, which just drives him to understand more. “We wanted to eliminate that idea of the comic book villain version of serial killers,” Jonathan Groff tells me. You’re unlikely to find a replacement crush in the serial kill

Forget The Legend of Zelda, Marvel’s MCU timeline presents a cacophony of continuity confusion and general head-scratching among finicky fanboys and casual calendar-browsers alike. Marvel is releasing an official timeline, so you can find out whether Spider-Man: Homecoming is *really* set in 2020, as well as a million other questions that need answering. Speaking to Screen Rant, Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige has revealed that the debate surrounding the need for an ‘official’ timeline has taken
