For example, remember how, back in 2004, every game would feature an NPC called Bad Darren who would follow you around making all of the weapon sounds? And the worst offender of the lot, BioShock, seems to have confused hacking with plumbing-in an en suite. Real-world hacking is vastly more complex (and infinitely more boring) than the kind of hacking depicted in cinema and gaming. It’s impossible to recreate hacking in a game with any real fidelity, so instead designers create metaphorical mini

Game of Thrones season 7 is rattling along at such a lightning pace that it can be hard to keep up with all of the disasters and deaths that befall those looking to claim the Iron Throne. Except most eyes have fallen on a certain big-time face-off…Dany and Jon finally met and the tension was palpable. Here are the best reactions to that meeting in Game of Thrones season 7, episode 3. Melisandre is the biggest Jonerys shipper 😂 #GameOfThrones pic.twitter.com/17wncTZI1a25 July 2017Trying not to sh

Deaths in Game of Thrones season 7 have been coming thick and fast, so much so that we’ve not really had chance to pause for breath (or lack thereof). The end of Game of Thrones season 7, episode 3, however, gave viewers and characters alike a chance to see a key character’s last key moments – and how they stuck the metaphorical knife in deeper than any murderous intent ever could. Spoilers follow…Everyone who hasn’t seen the most recent episode of Thrones has gone, right? Jaime’s actor, Nikolaj

Overwatch is a truly dynamic game, which means there’s always something new going on behind the scenes or in the community. Here’s what Overwatch fans need to know for the week of July 31. Reporting and penalty improvements are coming (sort of)The success of a team game like Overwatch does depend to some extent on good faith and good behavior.

Dazzling Diego scores 88 for Pace, 91 for Shooting, 90 for Passing, 95 for Dribbling, 75 for Physicality, and – no surprise here – 42 for Defending.

So it’s with some consternation that I present to you this new Destiny 2 DualShock 4 controller which, um, has the game’s logo printed on the touchpad. “Destiny 2 logos” is the overall vibe I’m getting from the design here. As of now, the controller has only been confirmed for Europe, where it will be released alongside Destiny 2 on September 6. The specs and bundled-in game/expansion pass are otherwise identical, and note that neither console includes the limited-edition controller – you’ll hav

Ready to meet the woman who will go toe-to-toe with Ryan Reynolds as Domino in Deadpool 2? #Domino #DeadPool2 pic.twitter.com/llCc8JfKT6July 31, 2017Domino’s tight black outfit should be pretty familiar for Marvel fans. And that little white patch over her eye is a subtle nod to her original design – I’m not surprised they scaled back the stark-black-and-white look for her cinematic counterpart. Oh, and the bearskin rug has been swapped out for a slightly less comfortable looking Deadpool-skin r

There’s just one day left to finish up your affairs in the original Destiny if you want to see them reflected in Destiny 2. Bungie will transfer over all the data for characters of level 20 or higher starting on Tuesday, August 1. We know that the personal details for Guardians – stuff like species and facial markings – will automatically transfer over, as well as certain accomplishments like the Moments of Triumph. Bungie has teased that Destiny 2 will recognize your previous exploits in some o

Guardians are almost superheroes already and this fascinating Destiny 2 beta glitch lets them go all the way. Discovered by Reddit user A_DVS_NTT and friends, the glitch lets you repeatedly “stack” the movement-altering effects of the Dawnblade Warlock’s Daybreak super ability by dying during activation. With a couple of stacks your jump ability turns into a rocket booster. A_DVS_NTT says Bungie has already been made aware of this glitch so you shouldn’t expect to see it in the full version of t

But hey, that’s Twin Peaks: The Return for you. It still exists, which we know from The Secret History of Twin Peaks and comments by Briggs in season 2. Sarah goes shoppingSarah Palmer (Grace Zabriskie), mother of Laura, shops for booze in a Twin Peaks supermarket.

The movie: Another corking Stephen King adaptation featuring a haunted hotel with one particularly evil room. John Cusack’s jaded supernatural journo spends a night in the infamous room 1408, a legendary suite that’s led many guests to off themselves. The original ending: It was decided in the US that the first ending was way too dark so this less macabre offering was used instead. The alternate: On the Blu-ray edition – and the regular version released in countries other than the US – Mike burn

GTA 5 might have finally resolved its UFO mystery, but if that’s not enough then GTA Space is promising you the galaxy. It’s the work of several modders – the full list of which, as well as features are here – and promises to let you explore the stars. That includes fighting aliens, landing on other planets, and four missions to start with when it’s released. It’s all a work in progress at the moment, but as you can see from the trailer there’s a lot going on. No ETA yet other than “when we thin

We thought this day would never come: Daenerys and Jon Snow standing face-to-face with the fate of Westeros at stake. Game of Thrones season 7 has certainly brought its A-game thus far in terms of fan-pleasing moments and, yet, two of Westeros’ key figures didn’t exactly hit it off from the get-go. and that Jon isn’t as much of a Dany fanboy as those of us watching at home. “As far as Jon knows, he’s just meeting this queen he’s heard of and trying to negotiate with her — he’s not meeting Daener

“Enough with the clever plans,” Daenerys snarls during the preview for the next episode of Game of Thrones season 7. The 30-second preview, which you can see above, has taken cues from the narrative force propelling season 7 by flashing past at an otherwordly pace. Lots and lots of questions. If we’re following the gold – knowing how quickly some events have been glossed over this season – then there’s a fair old chance that something happens on the way back to King’s Landing. The Catspaw blade

So I’m not going to print anything before a huge warning for that reason but, if you wanted, you could potentially read Game of Thrones season 7’s entire plot right now. Okay, warning time: The entire suspected plot of Games of Thrones season 7 will appear after the Hodor. (Jon, Davos, Tyrion, Missandei have all been filming together in Bilbao- widely believed to be the set of Dragonstone.) Dany respects Jon immediately, Jon to Dany maybe not as much?

It’s been a long time coming but Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen finally got together for a bit of a chat and cuppa in this week’s episode of Game of Thrones . Below are the biggest questions I have after watching the episode and it goes without saying that if you haven’t seen it yet, there’s plenty of spoilers. Does Varys know what Melisandre has done? So where is Cersei going to get the money from to pay the bank back? More than likely, it’s probably going to come from Highgarden which was tak
