This up-close look at the letter from episode 7 of Game of Thrones, where Jon informs his sister Sansa that he’s “bent the knee” to Daenerys, reveals two must-know details to Game of Thrones addicts. One, the Game of Thrones props department is hella skilled, and two, Jon Snow has really beautiful penmanship. The letter got a passing mention in episode 7, but this is the first time we’ve been able to see the text in full. And if we survive this war, I have pledged our forces to Daenerys as the r

As someone who did not spend the early ’90s gaming, the SNES Mini should be my gateway drug into the early Nintendo world. But one thing I’ve come to expect from a Nintendo launch is that, given the rabid levels of fanaticism that can decimate pre-order stocks in hours or minutes, I’m unlikely to get a chance at an SNES Mini soon. As someone who doesn’t check either box, I learned long ago that Nintendo simply wasn’t A Thing For Me. That’s even more frustrating when Nintendo just took us through

The Fallout 4 Creation Club is now in beta on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. In the Creation Club FAQ, under “Is Creation Club paid mods?” pic.twitter.com/6zJg4MS4T8August 28, 2017Now, to be fair, the Hellfire armor that’s available for free and the Hellfire armor from the Creation Club are not exact copies. Not only that – the cost of Creation Club items is also being criticized as too high. “Please let the creation club just die,” one user wrote on the Bethesda news post announcing Creation

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is an expansion, an experiment, and a conclusion. Series director Harvey Smith told me about the standalone game, which takes place months after the end of Dishonored 2, at QuakeCon 2017. Don’t let Death of the Outsider’s ultimate role in the larger story dissuade you if you’re not already a Dishonored fan. “There may be something new that we do or not, I don’t know. And read our hands on preview of Dishonored: Death of the Outsider so you can start familiarizin

A new teaser has been released via Twitter, though it’s as cryptic as it is poorly-lit. There’s some new faces and some old ones, plus a ton of black ink and classified documents. Were fans expected to tune in at 3 in the morning for a new trailer or news regarding the (still unconfirmed) release date? It became clear that the account wasn’t teasing when we would get more information, “3 AM” was the information – it, and the 12 other messages, are the Punisher’s episode titles. Not that I’m part

The moment PlayStation Home shut down is a particularly brutal example:It’s an end that’s coming to The Tomorrow Children, Sony and Q-Games’ odd little town building online… thing. I’ve spoken to numerous people on The Tomorrow Children reddit who still can’t believe it’s all going to end. The Tomorrow Children is a game about helping others, with no specific individual reward. “The Tomorrow Children strongly encourages cooperation and this results in a community about camaraderie and working to

Nintendo will shut down Miiverse across all of its supported platforms on November 7 at 10 pm PST. This means two things: 1) no, Nintendo didn’t already shut down Miiverse, it just didn’t decide to support it on Switch, and 2) the small but dedicated Miiverse community is devastated. But watching the Miiverse community grapple with its impending annihilation is something else entirely. Here’s just a sampling of the grief you can find on Miiverse right now (click on the images to see the post on

Absolver wears its Dark Souls inspiration on its sleeve, and I’m not talking just in terms of difficulty. And of course, there’s the whole ‘die and you lose your XP’ incentive for you to learn pattern recognition. This isn’t to say Absolver doesn’t feel like its own thing – it very much does. At the start of the game, you’ll pick one of three martial arts schools. There’s always the promise of more, if you can surmount the challenges it throws at you.

The final episode of Game of Thrones season 7 sees him executed by Arya, after his plan to turn the Stark sisters against each other spectacularly fails. Along with Euron Greyjoy and Cersei Lannister, Littlefinger was one of the few remaining bad guys in Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones season 7 has come and gone and all (blue) eyes are facing towards season 8 (aka the final season, for realsies, guys). The penultimate season may have seen many a charred corpse and sliced throat, but Kit Harington – Jon Snow to me and you – knows something: He’s certain the final season is going to try and one-up the previous seven seasons in the murder stakes. Speaking to Deadline, Harington reveals that season 8 (only six episodes long lest we forget) won’t be hanging around:

Star Wars: The Last Jedi hasn’t exactly been playing coy with its reveals recently. Yahoo Movies have shown off the exclusive shot featuring Rey on Ahch-To getting her Karate Kid on. Speaking of that stick, there’s no sign of Rey upgrading to anything more lightsaber-y anytime soon – in fact, the discarded robes in front of Rey hint at this shot coming from an impromptu training session. Maybe the ‘80s training montage we’d all hoped for between Luke and Rey isn’t quite coming to fruition or may

After Paul Rudd charmed us all in Ant-Man we are buzzing (sorry) that the Marvel superhero will be paired up with the Wasp for a sequel. Evangeline Lilly, Lost star and kickass elf from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, takes the role of the Wasp and today, finally, shared a shot of herself in costume.

Street Fighter 5’s latest addition is fortune teller Menat, who was first teased in the character story for Ed. Her fight style centers around a glowing crystal sphere that can be used for both offense and defense, and probably makes a stunning ornament on the mantelpiece too. Capcom says she’s an apprentice to an Italian fortune teller, so if her sphere-summoning combat reminds you of Street Fighter 4’s Rose, that’s intentional. Both fighters use the soul power style, so this could be a very ex

I know we’re all mad with grief that Game of Thrones has finished for another season, but are we hallucinating, or is Target trying to tell us that Bethesda is working on a Westeros-themed title? Of course, this could just be a misunderstanding, a bored Target employee trolling the internet, or the world’s most unlikely typo. It’s also worth remembering that Bethesda has talked openly about turning down the chance to make a Game of Thrones spin-off in the past. “We were actually asked a while ag

But the creators of The Evil Within 2 have made a career out of it. Even after the original Evil Within’s mixed reception, Tango Gameworks couldn’t wait to jump right back in, learn from its missteps, and scare us even harder. I love getting into horror games. “I mean, I grew up playing horror games. And I love that, I love horror.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEADGame of Thrones audiences now know, in no uncertain terms, that Jon Snow is not the bastard son of Eddard Stark. But just because we know doesn’t mean Jon and Daenerys know. So how do actors Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke think their characters will handle the news when they inevitably find out? That was the question posed by Entertainment Weekly in a recent interview with Harington and Clarke. “I think that’s how it’s going to go.

Game of Thrones season 7 has come to an end, my friends. #GoT7x07August 28, 2017Speaking of Arya, she and her sister Sansa finally – finally!

Donald Glover has finished shooting on the Han Solo movie, director Ron Howard revealed this weekend via Instagram. Truly remarkable #DonaldGlover wrapped up his shooting for #UntitledHanSoloMovie He brought so much fun & cool to that old Smoothie, Lando. But it would seem that this time, what you see is what you get: a bearded and handsome Donald Glover. As for the rest of the crew, they’re likely still working hard to get the film to fit Howard’s vision. Hopefully our buddy Ron can steer this
