‘Real’ is a concept which haunts professional wrestling, the subject of the show: part sport, part performance, part something that’s simultaneously real and not really real at all. The experience of watching GLOW is the same concept, but flipped. And, just like real wrestling, the heart of the show is in the characters, and it’s here where GLOW shows a different kind of understanding. In real wrestling, gimmicks make or break a career – Steve Austin would have slid into obscurity if they’d call

“You see a lot of amazing things happening but we don’t worry too much about why they’re happening or how they’ve happening.” In an interview with Edmonton AM, Bioware’s general manager Aaryn Flynn described the game as “a genre we call science fantasy very much like Star Wars, very much like the Marvel universe.” The fantasy part comes in, he says, because, “you see a lot of amazing things happening but we don’t worry too much about why they’re happening or how they’re happening, the science of

I’ve just watched my first ever episode of Puss in Boots. It’s not all that engaging for adults, mind, but I’m glad Netflix is experimenting with the concept. What about a Netflix police procedural drama, where you’re piecing together the clues alongside the detectives, deciding which avenues of enquiry to pursue? Then, if you give them another choice on each of those paths, you’re creating four story paths. Check out the most anticipated TV shows of 2017 and 8 Netflix tips, tricks and hacks you

The Han Solo movie – fresh off the firing of directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller – has had details leaked about its tumultuous production. The Hollywood Reporter have helpfully revealed all about whatever was happening on set under directors Lord and Miller. Most notably, Han Solo, Alden Ehrenreich, himself just wasn’t impressing, with an acting coach brought in after a considerable amount of filming had already been shot. Yeahhhh, that doesn’t sound like a vehicle that’s going to do the Kessel

It turns out that whilst the first canon MCU appearance of Spider-Man was in Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker was around much, much earlier. In Iron Man 2 to be precise – and Tom Holland has even officially confirmed it. Speaking to The Huffington Post, Tom Holland revealed that a small scene in Iron Man 2 was actually the very first appearance of the boy who would go on to be Spidey. “I can confirm that is Peter Parker,” Holland stated boldly, before clarifying, “I can confirm that, as

Overwatch is a truly dynamic game, which means there’s always something new going on behind the scenes or in the community. Going forward, loot boxes will have a much lower chance of opening duplicates of items already in your collection. Overwatch Twitch Prime loot boxSpeaking of loot boxes, Twitch Prime members have an easy way to pick up a few. Twitch Prime is a program for users of the livestreaming service who have connected their Amazon prime accounts. In addition to fewer ads, Twitch Prim

Overwatch players keep finding Doomfist in all kinds of places – just about everywhere but actually as a playable character. User crash reports from the Public Test Realm (where Blizzard lets players try out upcoming patches for balance and stability) were marked “1.13.0.0 Doomfist / Summer Games” until a recent update cleared out the title, leaving only the version number, as reported on Reddit. It could be that Blizzard just snuck that reference in somewhere hard to find as a way to troll data

“So, coming out two months after Untitled Avengers, [that’s what] much of what the next Spider-Man film will be about.” Phase 2 rounded out the world of the MCU, brought down SHIELD, and reached its zenith with Avengers: Age of Ultron. Phase 3 (which we’re in now) is about our heroes becoming divided before uniting to take down uber-villain Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War and the as-of-yet-untitled Avengers 4. Most of the world hasn’t seen Spider-Man: Homecoming yet, but it’s been clear from th

If the sales of the Mini NES are anything to go by, you should probably have pre-ordered the Mini SNES, complete with 21 games, the day before it was announced. Well because time machines just aren’t a thing yet, here’s the next best thing: the places you can pre-order the Nintendo Classic Mini SNES before its launch date on September 29 this year.

Looking forward to Westworld season 2? So are showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, by the sound of it. Speaking to Variety, Nolan and Joy addressed three key points of the upcoming season: scope, secrecy, and Anthony Hopkins. Considering the twists and turns and conspiracy theories the first season of Westworld inspired, I think that’s a pretty tall order. Still, Nolan and Joy hope fans will continue to develop a wide variety of theories and not just go with the most popular explanations tha

Following up on the incredibly popular (and incredibly tiny) NES Classic Edition, Nintendo has announced the equally mini SNES Classic Edition. Launching September 29, the SNES Classic will cost $79.99 (EU pricing is not available at time of writing) and comes pre-loaded with 21 games. Yoshi’s IslandOne of the most notable inclusions on the list is Star Fox 2 – which has never been released before. You will have to beat the first level of the original Star Fox to unlock it, but I’d say that’s a

A love letter from Edgar Wright to crime capers, diner romances and, above all, music, Baby Driver is a heist movie that nabs your heart. As his fellow gang members – Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm and Eiza González – return with the swag, Baby careers away seemingly in time to the music. There has to be a girl, of course – and when he meets diner waitress Deborah (Lily James), he’s smitten. THE VERDICT: Crime, romance, fast cars, hot tunes… slicker than your chrome hubcaps, Baby Driver is the summer’

Even after dozens of hours in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I still frequently pause on mountain bluffs or hillsides to appreciate the view. I thought that kind of experience was inherently transitory; the sort of thing you could never really capture outside of the game itself. But these beautiful panoramas by Andy Teijelo Pérez are coming awfully close to proving me wrong. The resulting images are almost as good as spending a few peaceful minutes on the side of Satori Mountain. Keep

You think you’re doing the right thing and it turns out to be the bad thing.” It’s really like ‘what would you do if it was happening to you?’ What is, for you, morally the right thing to do? You think you’re doing the right thing and it turns out to be the bad thing. “But you can go back at any time and replay from the beginning or a specific point in the story and see all the different branches.” We really want people to replay and see all the work that’s been done and all the different possib

This solid if unspectacular finish to the Apes trilogy features an A-game Andy Serkis and incredible VFX, but its darker excesses threaten to suffocate at times. Nine films into the extended series, War for the Planet of the Apes finally features a monkey throwing poo. Ape leader Caesar oversees a monkey stronghold, which finds itself under siege from human forces marshalled by Woody Harrelson’s callous Colonel. En route, Caesar encounters a young mute girl (Amiah Miller), and zoo escapee Bad Ap

As soon as we saw Spider-Man’s new look in the Captain America: Civil War trailer, it’s all we can talk about. Taking centre stage in the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming, the new costume was brought to life by costume designer Louise Frogley.

Because Marvel have the long history of the comics they have very specific plans for how they want things to be.

As Destiny 2 approaches, Bungie, and director Luke Smith in particular, have been very open about the development of the first game. Now, after the first game’s less than clear narrative Smith is touting “a story” as one of the sequel’s biggest changes. When I met Smith recently, I asked him what, in his mind, was the biggest core change in Destiny 2? That layering means that while there’s one main story in Destiny 2 – the Red War – it’s not the only one. It’s interesting to see such honest talk

Spoilers for Spider-Man: Homecoming follow…That sure does sound like a lot so let’s break it down piece-by-piece (via CBM). Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns to the MCU in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Long story short, he’s Miles Morales’ uncle (yep, that guy at the end of the Spider-Man PS4 E3 trailer) and even indirectly led to his nephew becoming the next Spider-Man. The seeds are being sewn for Spidey sequels already…#SpiderManHomecoming DONALD GLOVER HAS BEEN CASTED AS THE PROWLER IN SPIDER

You’re not dead yet, and you still have all of your limbs, so on balance, you’re doing pretty well. Food is running low, because hey, the downside to help is that help tends to eat. Just as you do this, three of her friends jump out from behind a bush and demand to come too. To be fair, the zombies aren’t really what State of Decay 2 is about. Fortunately, this time around you don’t necessarily need to risk sacrificing one of your more useful citizens, as State of Decay 2 has online co-op.
