Heroes, grab your rollerblades and sound-amplifying guns – it’s time for the revamped Overwatch Summer Games. Last but certainly not least, Lucioball makes its triumphant return, albeit with some tweaks to make gameplay feel a bit more fair. A new ranked version of Lucioball will also be available, and placing within the top 500 players in your region will net you an exclusive spray. All in all, it sounds like a much more refined version of the 2016 Summer Games, which… yeah, I suppose that’s

The Hellboy reboot starring Stranger Things’ David Harbour has cast Ian McShane as the titular boy from Hell’s adoptive father, Professor Broom. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film – officially titled Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen – will begin production as early as September, with Harbour and McShane working under director Neil Marshall (The Descent). In the 2004 original, Professor Broom was played by John Hurt (Alien, Merlin), who portrayed the character as a kind and gentle (if

Spider-Man trilogy star Kirsten Dunst doesn’t care about Spider-Man: Homecoming, and Homecoming star Tom Holland doesn’t care that she doesn’t care. Holland addressed Dunst’s dismissive attitude toward the film in an interview with Movie’n’co UK, but before we get to what Holland thinks, here’s a refresher on what Dunst originally said about Homecoming. To be fair to Dunst, I don’t think she was specifically calling out Holland or the rest of the cast, probably just the execs at Sony and Marvel/

The Walking Dead’s debut on AMC was a big moment in television history. Seven seasons later, it continues to be a show full of big moments – like its upcoming 100th episode, for example. To celebrate the triple-digit milestone, the cast has come together for a special thank you video wherein they recount the love and support of fans and how their journeys started:It’s kind of hard to believe that Chandler Riggs, who plays Coouhhrrl, was only 10 when the show started. Norman Reedus starts the vid

Tuesday nights in mid-summer are usually non-eventful in footballing terms, but not this week – as EA unleashed a comprehensive scouting report on FIFA 18 Ultimate Team. With 750 FIFA 17 Ultimate Team matches under my belt, I’ve sought to pick apart the key messages delivered by EA – and assess how they’ll effect the game on a day-to-day basis. With a lack of tournaments offered for those card types, the fun quickly went out of building Bronze and Silver squads in FIFA 17. It’s a super neat idea

Looking for a new crime drama to unnerve and entertain you? The first trailer for the Netflix-exclusive Mindhunter series, executive produced by David Fincher of Seven and House of Cards fame, proves it may already be more than you bargained for. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.” Even if Mindhunter never references that old Nietzsche line directly, you know it must have been pinned up on the wall of the writer’s room. We can all go a-gazing once Mindhunter debut

But tomb raiding in Assassin’s Creed Origins? “We have quite a few tombs in the game, and they range from being classical puzzles to navigation puzzles and navigation challenges,” says Ismail. “A lot of them are actually built off of the actual true tombs that we’ve researched.” The Assassin’s Creed Origins team consulted with historians about how ancient Egyptian tombs were constructed to reach a similarly authentic feeling for a more ancient world, according to Ismail. Now, of course, we have

“He’s a friend from work!” Admit it: you’ve already shouted, bellowed, and screeched that at friends, family, and the terrified elderly. The most quotable line from the Thor: Ragnarok trailer – which Thor proclaims when he sees Hulk in the gladiatorial arena on Sakaar – actually comes from the unlikeliest of places: A Make-A-Wish kid. Let’s hope Marvel will send him lots of royalty checks should they ever create a Friend From Work t-shirt. Want more Thor: Ragnarok goodness? Get the lowdown on Je

John Boyega obviously didn’t get the memo about keeping schtum over any Star Wars: The Last Jedi details – especially when it comes to General Leia Organa. Carrie Fisher’s tragic death last December has only intensified speculation over her character’s future, and Finn may have committed a big intergalactic no-no by revealing just what Star Wars 8 has in store for the former Princess. “This movie, it sends her off in a very amazing, amazing way. To read between the lines might be jumping the gun

Lev Yashin, Maradona, Pele, OG Ronaldo, Rio Ferdinand, and Ronaldinho also have three cards from their careers, along with the returning Icons. First confirmed One to Watch cardsAlso returning this year are Ones to Watch cards. Squad BattlesFor those with a single-player bent, Squad Battles will be your new go-to game mode. Only time will tell…Champions ChannelFinally, if you’re pining to see the world’s best do their thing on FUT then there’s also Champions Channel. Highlights and games from FU

A new Legendary Pokemon has appeared in Pokemon Go – the fire bird Moltres. Not sure what to throw at Moltres to be the most effective? If you’re having trouble finding an active Raid or live in a less densely-populated location, try using the website Gymhuntr. If you haven’t tried out these new Legendary Raids, let me tell you – they’re tough. Once you’ve taken down Moltres in battle, do your very best to be accurate with your ball throws.

You want to see some dope new Xbox One controllers, maybe buy ’em once they come out? The Volcano Shadow Special Edition controller is easily the most eye-catching. Or if you’re into a monochromatic military look, consider the Patrol Tech Special Edition. It’s quite similar to the Recon Tech Special Edition controller from earlier this year but with silver accents instead of gold. The Volcano Shadow and Patrol Tech controllers will both cost $69.99 while the Green/Grey (which might be my favorit

The first three Crash Bandicoot games hold a special place in many original PlayStation owners’ hearts – maybe that’s why the revamped Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy was the UK’s biggest console exclusive when it launched for PS4 at the end of June. But mounting evidence suggests the nostalgic marsupial platformer may soon come to Xbox One as well. Earlier this week, Vicarious Visions UI artist Kara Zisa uploaded her work on the N. Sane Trilogy to her portfolio. Only the footage she uploaded co

Pre-orders for the pint-sized SNES Classic will begin in late August in the United States, according to a post on Nintendo of America’s official Facebook page. As you may already know, the supply situation for NES Classic was dire. And it looks like demand will be at least as strong for it successor. It’s bad enough that I’ve already made peace with knowing I’ll never get one, despite having a deep love for the Super Nintendo at the core of my being. If, knowing all that, you still plan to brave

Pretty enough to go in a necklace, certainly… just like the one Ser Dontos gives to Sansa Stark before Joffrey’s wedding to Margaery. Ser Dontos – as in the drunken nobleman who Littlefinger enlisted to carry Sansa to his ship (and to safety) after Joffrey’s death. During the wedding, Sansa is understandably feeling quite downtrodden. Seeing as she’s sitting close to the main table, she must have found an opportunity to slip it into Joffrey’s drink. Olenna and Littlefinger paired up to execute t

And quite right too, as it’s a seriously challenging turn based, tactical battle sim set in the Mushroom Kingdom. The Rabbid versions of Mario characters have their own personalityWhatever you think of the Rabbids, they’re trying really hard with the impersonations. Rabbid Mario, Rabbid Luigi, Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Yoshi all have their own character, as do the main cast, which adds an interesting tone to the battles. At full pace Mario sticks his arms out, presumably for less drag, and the Rab

Bayek isn’t the only troublemaker in Assassin’s Creed Origins. It’s like how rival gang members start scrapping in GTA, or even Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, but with more people and horses and spears. “There are quite a few different factions in the world, and keep in mind that these factions are really living in the world,” creative director Ashraf Ismail says. They don’t really get along with each other. Read our Assassin’s Creed: Origins info article to learn more about Ubisoft’s return to op

I’m currently staring at an approximately $150,000 portable capture rig, ready to find out. The unconventional club – which only serves vegan food in the ground to both players and punters – is the first football league side to host the capture rig, as it celebrates appearing in FIFA for the first time. Guiding me through the process is Jack Hoyle, a 3D scanning technician for The Capture Lab, which handles motion-capture for EA. What’s surprising is that it’s over in ten minutes and I get a cha

Dragons aren’t real. However in Game of Thrones they look very real thanks to fancy pants CGI and special effects. Take all that away, like in the video below, and not only does it look like HBO suddenly ran out of money halfway through an episode, but you get to see the real stars of the show. And by real stars, I mean guys carrying huge poles pretending to be giants, and a bear who’s made to look like he wants to eat Jaime Lannister but really just wants a cream pie.

Ghost in the Shell is packed full of impressive action scenes to make the most hardcore adrenaline junkie tremble, and one of the best sees Scarlett Johansson’s Major take out a group of baddies… while handcuffed to a pole. It’s stunning to watch and is all the more impressive when you find out how it was shot. According to the movie’s fight trainer, Richard Norton, Johansson is doing “100% of that fight,” and you can see just how it was filmed in the exclusive behind-the-scenes video above. G
