A long time ago, on a film set far, far away, some puckish rogue managed to snap some photos with their drone. And now, we can see that the young Han Solo film is going to take place (at least partly) on Tatooine.

But considering it’s where we first met Solo, he’s known to operate in the area, an

You need a bigger Xbox One hard drive and you need it now. Unlike PS4 hard drives , the Xbox One can’t be easily gutted for the sake of hard drive swapping. Let’s check out the best Xbox One external hard drives. Well, if you want the speediest external storage drive for your shiny Xbox One then Samsung has got the tiny box for you. ___________________________________________________________________________________Want some games to fill up that new hard drive?

Bad news if you were a fan of Mass Effect: Andromeda or the new episodic Hitman. Anonymous sources who spoke to Kotaku confirmed that the Mass Effect series has been put on ice, and it’s hard not to imagine it was a direct response to Andromeda’s cool reception. It’ll probably return again someday – there’s still a lot of love for Mass Effect out there – but not for the immediate future. Square Enix has owned the Danish developer since it purchased IO’s parent company Eidos back in 2009. The big

Ever wondered if Ridley Scott’s Alien anatomy is grounded in fact or just completely made up? Acid blood and a strong exoskeleton might sound implausible but there’s actually some basis for certain aspects of the Xenomorph design in the animal kingdom. Certain species can actually stay dormant for reasonably long periods of time, and you will find some waiting for certain conditions before the developmental process gets started. Nature’s quite good at developing mechanisms that get things to coo

We’ve had Game of Thrones season 7 teasers involving a whole lot of sitting down, a bunch of images that tell us very little and, heck, even an ice-melting release date PR stunt but where is the trailer, I hear you cry? Well, if this prediction comes true (and it definitely makes sense) then it could be arriving very, very soon. What Culture have crunched the numbers and worked out that it all comes down to 21 days. The theory certainly makes a lot of sense, one gap of three weeks followed by an

Judge Dredd is coming to a TV screen near you some time in the near-future, but it’s not what some may have been hoping for. The show, titled Judge Dredd: Mega City One, will focus on an ensemble cast of Judges being judge, jury and executioner in the crime-ridden cesspit of the dystopian Mega City One – but there’s no sign of Judge Dredd himself. Go watch it) – and Rebellion, best known for its Sniper Elite series, as well as owning 2000AD, the comic series in which Judge Dredd stars. As long a

However, publisher Grey Box has announced that it’s come up with a workaround: the digital version of Rime will cost $29.99 / £29.99 on Switch, making it the same price as on competing platforms. The physical version will still cost $39.99 / £39.99, but will include a download voucher for the game’s soundtrack. Virtually the same thing happened with Puyo Puyo Tetris, which was also more expensive on Switch than on PS4. And so even today, you can buy Puyo Puyo Tetris from the eShop for $30, or ge

We’ve written about Absolver before on GR+, but I was kinda “sleeping on it” as the kids say until I watched this trailer. My love for cinematic kung fu action alone couldn’t explain the stirrings of hype I felt within my bosom. I searched for answers in our Absolver preview from E3 last year and pulled up the official site, then it hit me: this is the martial-arts practicing, creepy-mask wearing child of Dark Souls and Destiny. How is it like Dark Souls? It’s just a lot easier to fit “Destiny”

And if a report from ComicBook.com is true, we could see an X-Force movie tease in the post-credits scene of Deadpool 2. The site claims that three major characters will make an appearance during Deadpool 2’s post-credits scene: Feral, Shatterstar, and Sunspot. Each of these characters has been affiliated with X-Force in the past, though I admit I’m surprised they didn’t go with a better-known team. I figured an X-Force movie team would’ve more contemporary members like Warpath, Hepzibah, or Fan

April showers bring May… video games? Eh, so what if it doesn’t rhyme? Point is, the PlayStation Store is celebrating spring with some solid deals. Big-name games are getting serious price slashes in the UK, while the US can get just about every Ubisoft and Santa Monica Studio game for 25% or more off. Check out the full list of games on sale in the UK PlayStation Store, or read on for our picks of the best deals:Doom – was £49.99, now £11.99Final Fantasy 15 – was £49.99, now £29.99Nier: Automat

Well, that sub-20-minute Prey speedrun I wrote about yesterday didn’t last long. Speedrunner Bjurnie just posted a video showing off their self-described, world-record (for now) 9:55 second run. The kneejerk reaction to a sub-10-minute speedrun for a new (and fully priced) game might be one of derision. If anything, I think it’s complimentary of Arkane Studios’ work that Prey is flexible enough to let you finish the game even when you do so many clearly unexpected things. If you want to speed up

X-Men spin-off TV show Legion debuted to critical acclaim and strong ratings earlier this year – but don’t forget about 20th Century Fox’s other X-Men spin-off show. Set to premiere this fall, The Gifted tells the story of a family who go on the run after discovering the children have mutant powers. And while I’ll say that teen dramas aren’t really my thing, the teaser above has me curious. Of course, this is the age of trailers for trailers, so we’ll have to wait until May 15 to get a better id

Huge news for Arsenal fans willing to pretend a certain running-the-length-of-the-Etihad-pitch-after-scoring incident never happened: four Gunners legends have been added to FIFA 17 Ultimate Team overnight. As hinted at in the opening paragraph – and, er, giant screenshot – Emmanuel Adebayor is the biggest name among the Arsenal alumni. Now at Basaksehir, he’s rated 78 overall and will set you back around 1,400 coins. And the fourth of those ex-Gooners, Palace midfielder Matthieu Flamini, can al

Warning: possible spoilers belowIt was clear from the end of The Walking Dead season 7 that future storylines would feature more conflict between Rick and Negan – we just didn’t know how long it would take for tensions would boil over. But if a new set photo is any indication, The Walking Dead season 8 is gonna jump right in with Rick storming Negan’s gates in the very first episode. “📷: @DanielNewman pic.twitter.com/y5yctqNW2bMay 7, 2017The image you see above was posted by Daniel Newman, who p

You’ve heard of Prey ’s GLOO Gun. But who wants them when you can have a golden gun? Once you’ve made them go bye-bye, create a route up to the top of the shaft with the GLOO Gun. She’s requesting – rather bluntly – to bring her golden gun to the Bridge. Her golden gun is yours now.

There’s no game – and no PlayStation – without play. When I was nine, it was using elastic to make Kermit a bungie-jumping stuntphibian or daubing my Barbies’ faces with red Smarties. Well, I’m taller, and now I have to pay taxes – but toys have been replaced with video games. It makes sense that my favourite titles are ones leaving room for my mind to run wild. Sure, nowadays devs have the tech to render anything you could imagine where once only polygons stood.

So, Assassin’s Creed Origins, eh? Assassin’s Creed Origins is being made by the team who made Black FlagThis has never been officially confirmed but is pretty much a dead cert. A modern day to be excited about hasn’t happened since Desmond Miles was still alive. Prior to the Reddit screen leak, WWG revealed that Assassin’s Creed Origins will have both male and female lead characters and that they will be in a world that’s far more focussed on exploration than any Creed that’s come before.
