Game of Thrones season 7 had its fair share of scraps and skirmishes but surely one duel will live long in the memory. If you haven’t caught up on all things Westeros then there are mild spoilers below but, go on, you want to see some sword-on-sword action, don’t you? Taken from a sneak peek at HBO Now’s The Game Revealed series, the 90-second long teaser gives us a glimpse into Brienne and Arya’s semi-playful duel in Winterfell during Game of Thrones season 7, episode 4. Oh, and check out Maisi

We’ve seen precious little of the Tomb Raider movie but now there’s something to really treasure: a full trailer. Alicia Vikander channels her inner Tomb Raider reboot to bring you a Lara Croft who stumbles, fails, then gets up and does it all over again. ), her on-island garb – complete with bow and arrow, naturally – puts those fears to rest about the movie looking like bad Tomb Raider cosplay. It’s also uncannily similar to the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot, so props to the production team. What’s

Wolfenstein is a series that deals in excess. You’re not just fighting Nazis – you’re fighting Nazis with cyborg dog monsters that spit flame and uber-soldiers with tesla coil cannons. So it should be no surprise that the newest Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus gameplay trailer (subtitled “NO MORE NAZIS”) is full of guns, violence, loud rock music, cursing, and even a sex scene. Because of these things, it also goes without saying you probably shouldn’t watch it at work. Wolfenstein 2: The New Co

You probably know Hideo Kojima for his work on the Metal Gear Solid series – but way back in 2001, he helped produce the PS2 mech combat game Zone of the Enders. And now, the cult classic is coming to PS4 and PC in spring 2018 with visuals remastered for 4K resolution, new audio design, a VR mode, and a fancy new title:Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner – Mars. The game received one sequel, a Game Boy Advance spin-off, and a limited anime series. But who knows, maybe that can all change with ZoE

The leaves are turning colors, the air is a bit crisper, and pumpkin spice lattes are in everyone’s Starbucks cup. Yes, it’s that time of year again: game awards season. And the Golden Joystick Awards – the world’s biggest gaming award show where the winners are determined by you, the voting public – are just about ready to reveal the list of nominees for 2017’s ceremony. Mark your calendars: the candidates and categories will be revealed this Thursday, September 21, at 4am Pacific / 12pm BST. T

The most important matter, which some players are missing, is the way that Legendary mods affect the Power level of gear. Tests are being run, with modded gear removed to the Vault to get a pure, natural level. You see, the above advice – integrated with knowledge of natural Power levels versus modded – doesn’t seem to be working for everyone. With a Power level around the low-270s, I started to get consistent gear drops – from all sources – of no more than 269. If the newly invigorated Vendor r

Stranger Things season 2 is still largely a mystery, which is fitting for a show about supernatural happenings inspired by the works of Stephen King. Speaking to TVLine at the 2017 Emmys, showrunners Matt and Ross Duffer gave a few hints regarding what the season holds for Eleven and Barb. “I will say that I think that [Eleven’s] journey this season is very different than what people are going to expect,” Ross Duffer began. “She’s going through adolescence, and she’s got powers. That’s an intere

Battlefield 1 will be free(-ish) to play from September 22 to September 24 on Xbox One. Because it’s only free if you already have an Xbox Live Gold subscription, which costs money. The free play period is part of the Xbox Live Gold Free Play Days event, but it also overlaps with EA’s Battlefest: Revolution event, so you get to play the newest stuff for the game too. From September 19 to September 30, players will have access to the Battlefield 1 In the Name of the Tsar expansion. Any progress m

The Xbox 360 is one of the greatest consoles of all time, with a ton of great games and a legacy that lives on to this day. But but how much can you really remember about Microsoft’s second box? We’ve prepared a little quiz to test your mettle. Bewarned though, it’s no easy run with the current in office record standing at 12/20. So have a pop, see how you do, and feel free to post your scores in the comments so everyone can see how well/badly they did.

In case you’re in a rush though, here’s a speedy way you can get them all in a matter of minutes. “I take it you like to jump, right? Head back over the walkway you came down, jump over to the platform on the right and head straight. Jump over all the crates and head down the ramp and then head inside the little door to the left. Head right towards the grassy area with trees and head up and right and you’ll find the chest by the wall.

I’ll bet you were scared by the It movie. But, you’re probably wondering what keeps author Stephen King up at night? According to producer Barbara Muschietti, it was one thing in particular that gave the grandmaster of grimy scares the heebie-jeebies. So, the moral of the story is this: take all of your childhood fears, make them into art and scare Stephen King. Check out the first It movie reactions, as well as the best It movie Easter eggs.

Sony’s traditional pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference is normally enough to pique the interest of hardcore PS4 fans and casual gamers alike, and this year is no different. Step right this way for a quick wrap-up of everything you may have missed, from new trailers, release dates and a few new VR games to blow you away.

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite launches tomorrow with 30 characters available to rumble it up with – 15 from the Marvel universe, and 15 from Capcom games. Capcom announced on its Unity Blog today that Sigma, Black Panther, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Venom, and a female Monster Hunter will be available later this year. In my opinion, it’s a little weird that the announced DLC gives Marvel the edge in total number of characters, with 19 to Capcom’s 17. But then, I noted in my review that the game h

But a player going by the handle “Uzick” may have the latest, greatest pro strat: laying face-down in a dirty bathtub. Now, that being said, PUBG rewards players no matter how poorly they perform. So the game’s community is currently dealing with players who purposefully don’t participate just so they can passively reap rewards. ), here’s the jist: while each match of PUBG starts with the entire map open to exploration, as time goes on the play area shrinks. PUBG has risen from semi-obscure newc

This new trailer for Call of Duty: WW2’s campaign has the type of stuff you’d expect for a cinematic war story: gunfire, explosions, lingering shots of fallen soldiers. But one scene in the middle, and its implications for the game’s story as a whole, stands apart: this is a World War 2 game that addresses the Holocaust. Call of Duty: WW2’s story is fictional, but this kind of thing really did happen. I’ve never heard of a World War 2 game that denies the Holocaust, but most that I’ve played sid

This week, the game’s creative director, Randy Varnell, announced on the Gearbox Forums that development on Battleborn has ceased, and it will no longer receive new content or updates after the upcoming Fall Update. Servers will stay live for the “foreseeable future,” Varnell said, and the Fall Update will provide players with a final batch of skins, Finisher Boosts, and taunts. So the game isn’t dead per se, though it is certainly entering its twilight years. In any case, it sounds like Varnell

It starts well enough, with a deliriously OTT scrap inside a London cab, as Eggsy (Taron Egerton) fends off a familiar assailant. Teaming up with Kingsman’s tech support, Merlin (Mark Strong, ever-reliable), Eggsy follows a clue that leads him to a whiskey distillery in the American South, a front for the US-equivalent of Kingsman. It’s through the Statesmen that Eggsy discovers his presumed-dead former mentor, Harry Hart (Colin Firth), seemingly alive and well. As a result, The Golden Circle of

Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite has a solid core and Infinity Stones make fights tactical. Should you choose to play Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, you’ll find an experience that is aware of these things; a familiar setup, if only just so. Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite also trades out the Light, Medium, Heavy, Special control scheme for Light Punch, Heavy Punch, Light Kick, Heavy Kick. The official game’s title is Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite, but it really could have been “MCU Heroes Boss Around Capcom Side

Smaller and more focused, Death of the Outsider is Dishonored for people who don’t have the time. You cut to the ‘doing what Dishonored does well’ bit much, much quickerThere are few new gadgets as well. If there are any faults it’s that a few bits of trimming feel a little too blunt. The final level also feels like it takes the reductive concentration that makes most of the game so much fun a little too far. It’s exactly what you want from a Dishonored game, but with a minimalist approach that
