It takes us a while to find out, as they’re pretty sneaky when it comes to the whole take-over-the-world scenario. Proud because sometimes in Doctor Who humans are there to be saved and patted on the head by the Doctor. You can’t fool them by consenting out of fear or strategy, though – as the monks put it, consent means love. With Bill speaking on behalf of humanity, her choice to save the Doctor from a deadly explosion changes everything. But her reasoning is tight – if she saves him, he can t

Within seconds of hitting South Boston he’s set upon by three ghouls who just pound him into the ground while I watch. Fortunately, the only thing more stupid than my dog right now is the Vertibird pilot who crashes into a bridge trying to line up a shot. I think Dogmeat requested it. As Dogmeat turns around and heads slowly back I grimly execute every last stag I can find. I’m going to bed.

The one-award-per-film rule, meanwhile, always makes for a head-scratching merry-go-round. Last year most critics had three-hour German comedy Toni Erdmann nailed on for the Palme d’Or, meaning its director Maren Ade would be subtracted from the Best Director equation to allow Andrea Arnold to be awarded for her ambitious, freewheeling work on American Honey. If, by some disastrous misjudgement, neither Toni Erdmann nor Ade were awarded, it would at least mean Sandra Hüller could deservedly win

Like De Palma directing Joe Eszterhas, it’s a film without a subtle bone in its immaculately sculpted body and, in its own self-consciously trashy way, is great fun. Shortly after moving in together, Chloe sees something unusual on the bus back from work – Paul talking with another woman. Eager to know what happened, and with her stomach pains back, Chloe starts therapy with Louis, the experience eerily similar but completely different to her sessions with Paul. But Dardenne regular Jérémie Reni

But, above all, choose life before bringing the gang back together for a sequel to 1996’s Trainspotting. It’s the passage of time that gives T2 Trainspotting its surprising emotional and intellectual heft. It’s a carefully considered sequel, built not only in the image of the characters on the screen, but also the audience watching them. “You’re a tourist in your own youth,” Sick Boy (Jonny Lee Miller) tells Renton (Ewan McGregor) – but aren’t we all? Renton, Sick Boy, Spud (Ewen Bremner) and Be

If you grew up on Nintendo handhelds in the ’90s, you probably remember Camelot’s unsung Game Boy Color adaptation of Mario Golf. It was more than just a golf game. Enter Golf Story, a golfing adventure from a small team called Sidebar Games, and it looks like everything I’ve ever wanted. Between this and Stardew Valley hitting Nintendo Switch soon, I’m going to be up to my eyeballs in retro-inspired updates to my favorite classic games. If all goes well, Golf Story should arrive on Nintendo Swi

Did you watch the Star Wars: The Last Jedi trailer and feel like Luke was acting a bit out of character? Mark Hamill was similarly bamboozled by the direction taken by the next film, according to Vanity Fair. In a recent interview with the magazine, Hamill said he had a small conflict with director Rian Johnson. “I at one point had to say to Rian, ‘I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you’ve made for this character.'” I imagine it kind of being like writing fanfic of your favor

Eurogamer has dug up more info regarding the cancelled Prey 2 and, honestly, it sounds pretty damn cool. However, Tommy (the hero from the original Prey) would’ve appeared at one point, setting you on the path to defeating the true enemies of the Prey storyline, the Keepers. Death and respawning were actual, in-game canonMost of the time, when we die in video games, it “doesn’t count.” We quite liked Arkane’s Prey, don’t get us wrong – but after watching this video, I can’t help but long for thi

After twenty years, the best orange marsupial on PlayStation – shut up about him being the only one – has returned for the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. Going by the fact that we can actually see the individual strands of his fur now, I’m going to hopefully go with the former. Bringing back a twenty year old icon isn’t easy, but Vicarious Visions has ushered him into the 21st century with one thing in mind. From the moment you pick up your DualShock 4, the trilogy feels like the Crash Bandico

GTA Online lets you be many types of criminal. Come June, Rockstar plans to add another illegal activity to your GTA resume: gunrunning. When the update arrives, you’ll be able to discover hatches leading to underground bases where you’ll conduct your illicit business. You’ll be able to sell various arms for cash to some shady customers, but also outfit your own arsenal with new customization options. What else has come to GTA Online recently?

Lucasfilm is very close to making its final decision on what Star Wars movie will come to theaters in 2020. The confirmed slate currently ends with Star Wars 9 in 2019, but Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told Vanity Fair that the company will make its final decision soon. Star Wars 9 will conclude the new trilogy, so it’s safe to assume that the 2020 movie will be another “Star Wars Story” like Rogue One and the Han Solo movie (which is scheduled to be released in 2018). Star Wars 2020 cou

Death is not the endObviously, there’s a lot of dead people in Fallout 4. Let’s explore some of Fallout 4’s more interesting remains and see what we can discover. They’d blown the safe, put a ladder up to grab the cash and ah crap, end of the world. The fact that this guy apparently died fighting one of Fallout 4’s mutant dolphin things suggests this poor soul actually expired after the apocalypse which, in terms of timing, is basically a bit embarrassing. The fact that this one-man fallout shel

Xur, Destiny’s travelling weekend Exotic trader, pulp horror novel cover artist, and famed liker of meringue, is back. There are super and grenade energy boosts as well, but nothing exciting enough to make the Arachnid an easy sell. Monte Carlo is a really fun, really fast auto rifle that devours PvE enemies at medium range. And Truth is a bloody delightful rocket launcher, with near max blast radius, full-speed reload, and automatic target tracking. As ever, Xur will be around until 10am UK / 2

Destiny 2 won’t exclusively use dedicated servers but that doesn’t mean it will suffer from all the same lag-related problems as the first game. No one Guardian hosts the Tower, for instance, which is why your dance sessions don’t get interrupted for host migrations. But individual players are automatically selected to host activities like Strikes and The Crucible. If those players drop out, the game has to perform a host migration. Well, Destiny 2’s mix of activities and seamless matchmaking me

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Harry Styles in Christopher Nolan’s epic war movie, Dunkirk. This exclusive image – check it out below – from the new issue of Total Film magazine shows the ex-One Direction singer all at sea as a soldier in the historical thriller from the director of Inception and The Dark Knight. The movie is shot on numerous locations, including Dunkirk itself, as Nolan sets out to tell the real-life story of the evacuation of the beaches of Dunkirk, where 400,000 soldiers

First we’ve got the new Far Cry 5 trailer (with a breakdown if you want more info). Currently that’s Pastor Jerome, Mary and Nick. Let’s say hi:Paster JeromeJerome is a priest that’s lost his church to the Eden’s Gate, after its promises lured his congregation away. Nick is a local pilot with a baby on the way, and he’s fighting back against the cult for his child’s future. That’s his sea plane you can see in the main trailer, and he’s the one strapping mini guns on it.

After some teases we finally have the first proper Far Cry 5 trailer, introducing Hope County, Montana – a dangerous looking place overrun by a cult called Eden’s Gate. First, let’s take a look at the main trailer:Despite the change to a modern day US setting – and its potentially contentious survivalist premise – there’s a lot of familiar Far Cry elements to see in there: lots of wilderness, patrolling vehicles to avoid, planes and choppers to get around in, and animals to hunt/run away from/tu

Not to mention the conceptual precedent set by Far Cry Primal leaping back to the prehistoric era last year. Far Cry 5 is set in modern-day Montana, a vast, sweeping, picturesque landscape presenting perfect fuel for Far Cry’s predilection for combining stunning natural beauty with sprawling, explorative freedom. But it’s not just in the physical make-up of its setting that Far Cry 5 hits a clash between the everyday and the unusual. Far Cry 5 – trailer, release date, villainous cult-leaders, an

Her freedom stolen, Shula is put to work in the fields, while her supposed witchcraft skills are used to catch criminals and entice rain from parched skies. She’s even thrust onto TV chat shows to drum up interest – gawking tourists are a tidy earner. And yet it’s also stylised in places, boasts a soundtrack featuring Vivaldi and Estelle’s ‘American Boy’, and glints with wicked humour as Nyoni highlights corruption and incompetence, misogyny and dogma. The satire, in places, is a little scatters

Forget the Targaryens, the Greyjoys and *spit* the Lannisters, Game of Thrones’ best clan is undoubtedly the Starks. Game of Thrones season 7 may yet reunite the North’s favourite family – we’ll have to wait and see – but the closest we’ll get until then is the Starks together looking all happy (for once) in a new photo, and the cast revealing what a Stark reunion might look like. But what would a Stark reunion look like in season 7? It’ll warm your cold, cold heart – especially after that Game
