Surprise amazo news: The Witcher is coming to Netflix as a TV show. The series will be based on Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski books, rather than the game but I’m sure right now everyone’s got CD Projekt Red’s game firmly in their mind. Don’t get your hopes up for any crossover though, CD Projekt Red seem excited but, by the sounds of things, isn’t uninvolved. Speaking to Radek Grabowski from the studio, I was told that the team “wish this project all the best and are looking forward to watchin

The old season isn’t quite over yet, but you can already start looking forward to the new one with PES 2018 today confirmed for a 14 September release. A presentation overhaul includes real player images throughout the game’s menus, while ‘enhanced visual reality’ aims to upgrade existing lighting effects, player models and motion capture. Solo players are catered for too, as a mini Master League overhaul adds dressing room interactions, pre-season tournaments, and a revised transfer system. Add

The screen above, for instance, was leaked on Reddit from the Assassin’s Creed Origins gameplay demo that’ll be shown at E3 and seemingly confirmed an ancient Egyptian setting. A slew of other Assassin’s Creed leaks confirmed the return of naval combat, that the new game is being worked on by the team behind Assassin’s Creed Black Flag, and has an even more seamless open world. Literally defining Ubi’s open worlds since the original Assassin’s Creed, synch points are now no more. Or how there wa

Video games. But frightening as they are, they all too often rely on the cheapest kind of scare going: jump scares. In the big Tesco shop of horrors, jump scares are the twice-discounted ham slices near the till. Two of the earliest known jump scares can be found in the original 1996 version of Resident Evil. Sure, used in moderation, the jump scare is not without merit.

At some point Funko will run out of things to pop, but until then we can enjoy the disproportionate head-to-body ratio of Destiny’s finest. There are eight figures in all, including two versions of Crota with a limited edition glowing option to keep you company at night. All in all, Cayde-6, Ikora and Zavala are represented, along with Oryx, Xur and Atheon. So both all shades of light, dark and somewhere in-between will get some bobbley headed representation. In the mean time, why not check out

Case in point: the black-and-white trailer for Logan – dubbed Logan Noir – is full to the brim with feels, beautifully artistic shots and, melancholy. Maybe, just maybe, you’ll see the movie in a whole new light. Fittingly enough, the minute-long trailer shows characters in various states of distress, from Charles’ deteriorating state to Logan popping bullets out of his chest. Are you looking forward to the black-and-white version of Logan? Maybe you want other Hollywood movies to get the noir t

I’ve done some reading up on streaming ‘techniques’ and there’s some things you can be doing to make your Netflix experience even better. Here’s the Netflix tips, tricks, and hacks we should all be using to make the most of the ‘flix. Add some spice to your life by taking a risk and removing the argument all together by giving Netflix Roulette a whirl. Part of Netflix’s built-in marketing is geared toward making you watch its Netflix Original shows. So whichever of those series you’ve added to y

If you want the scoops on Star Wars: The Last Jedi then, as it turns out, it’s best to go East. A leaflet advertising next year’s Star Wars movie has possibly revealed a few more details about just what’s going to go down in Episode 8 – including ‘The most shocking truth in Star Wars history’, whatever that means. For those not skilled in Japanese (you and me both), StarWarsNewsNet is carrying a fan translation of the promo material, with the tagline ‘The most shocking truth in Star Wars history

After months of leaks, Ubisoft is finally teasing the official reveal for the next Assassin’s Creed game. #AssassinsCreed https://t.co/q2czPk63kMMay 16, 2017I wonder if that’s the final logo or if it’s just a teaser as well? Every main Assassin’s Creed game since AC3 has made little thematic tweaks to the design: stars, a pirate skull, glitchy lines, industrial-looking plates. Ubisoft hasn’t said when to expect the official reveal but you bet your sweet hidden blades that we’ll cover it when it

Far Cry 5 has been announced, and even without any details to go on – seriously, nothing is known about this other than the title – Ubisoft clearly would like fans to be excited. Both on the Ubisoft forums and Twitter, the company is asking fans, “Are you ready for a hefty dose of new Far Cry adventures?” On the Ubisoft forums, the first response is “Maybe.” Over on Twitter, fans are likewise split, with some saying the games have felt too copy-paste and others arguing that the series peaked wit

A lot of people (and artificial people) died over the course of Westworld’s inaugural season. But it turns out one who many assumed was dead is, in fact, still alive. To which I say: Is that because you’re a robot, Hemsworth?! But have you been keeping up on the fan theories for Westworld season 2? Or spotted all the easter eggs in Westworld season 1?

If you thought Nintendo would be content with just releasing the Nintendo Switch this year, you thought wrong. The New Nintendo 2DS XL shifts the previously unfoldable device to a 3DS-style clamshell design and comes in two rather lovely colour schemes, black and turquoise and white and orange. This all means that of course you can already snare your New Nintendo 2DS XL pre-order from a number of retailers to make sure you get your day one fix on July 28. Pre-order The New Nintendo 2DS XL standa

Microsoft is holding a huge Backward Compatibility Super Sale on hundreds of games for Xbox One/Xbox 360 right now. If you’ve been holding off on picking up Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 since it hit Xbox One in April, now would be the time. The super sale applies to 280 items (that’s counting games and a few pieces of DLC) and there are currently 372 games on the official backwards compatibility list. And many of the items are on sale for upwards of 75 percent off. Read our list of 13 backwards com

Seth MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy, is bringing a new, live-action show to TV this year. The Orville is a send-up of Star Trek and sci-fi tropes in the vein of Galaxy Quest, starring MacFarlane as Captain Ed Mercer and Adrianne Palicki as Kelly Grayson, his ex-wife and first officer. The show looks to be full of MacFarlane’s trademark wit and sarcasm, and I’ll admit I chuckled at the bit about how often an alien race urinates. Whether it’ll be a runaway success a la American Dad or more of a

Shadows of Valentia presents Nintendo with a rare opportunity to capitalise on Fire Emblem’s unexpected recent rise by probing its past. But this series has always been less about the narrative than the bonds you build with its characters. But while we’ll admit the face-stroking minigame in Fates was a step too far, there’s a gap that Shadows of Valentia struggles to fill. These deviations from formula add up to a game that simultaneously feels like one step forward and two back. Shadows of Vale

So it turns out Phantom Dust is out on Xbox One and PC today where it can be yours for a grand total of $0/£0. Excited to announce a fan favorite Phantom Dust will re-release exclusively tomorrow for free on @Xbox One & @Windows 10! pic.twitter.com/q8lmn4yeIhMay 15, 2017@BeastFireTimdog Yes UWP, Yes #XboxPlayAnywhere , Yes Cross-play support, Yes Free. Either way, Phantom Dust is going from hard-to-find cult classic to spruced-up freebie and that’s pretty cool. For more games that we’d like to s

PlayStation 4 has been commanding the console war in 2017’s early months. If Xbox One were a face, PS4 would be a Yakuza’s impeccably polished loafer, stomping on it forever. It has been a non-stop barrage of distinct video games, all exclusive to PS4. These games are all exclusive to PS4, and all brilliant, but one other crucial detail links them: they were all developed in Japan. The thing is, Japanese games are best when they’re being Japanese… and now devs are embracing this.

If VR FPS Farpoint has you suitably hyped up for PlayStation VR then you can’t miss this frankly ridiculous deal from GAME. The bundle includes Farpoint, Resident Evil 7, 2 months of NOW TV movies and the headset itself for the RRP of the headset, £349.99. Yep, zero pounds for two of the best games to play in VR and you can pre-order for tomorrow’s release date. • View deal: PlayStation VR with Farpoint, Resident Evil 7 and 2 months of NOW TV movies for £349.99 from GAMEYou’ll still need the Pla

Disney would treat Star Wars the same way the company had been handling the Marvel franchise , and Marvel fans seemed pretty happy with how that was chugging along. But here we are several years into Disney’s approach to a galaxy far, far away. And I was right on one level: Disney is handling Star Wars much in the same way they handled Marvel. Again, it seems that Disney is trying to treat Star Wars in the same way they handle Marvel. This problem has even seeped into the extended Star Wars univ

But, as it turns out, that Groot isn’t called what you think he’s called. Have the six people in the world who haven’t seen Guardians 2 gone? It’s actually Adolescent Groot. Or, we call him ‘Adolescent Groot.’ Groot may be grumpy and physically incapable of tidying his room but he’s not a teenager just yet, he’s Adolescent Groot.
