Despite the fact that most video game movies haven’t turned out too well, Hollywood continues to scour gaming archives for content with name recognition. Could Mega Man be next? In an interview with WGG , the filmmaker revealed that he “would love to do a hard-R Mega Man” movie, which, while just speculative right now, still sounds like it has loads of potential. But if a Mega Man film doesn’t work out, Shankar has an idea for an animated series based on a different video game. In the meantime,

The new Overwatch Uprising event is, as McCree would say, your huckleberry. The main event is a new PvE game mode that lets four players cooperate to break through the Omnic occupation of London, and you can play it through the end of the month. Even if you’re less enamored with the competitive multiplayer modes, Blizzard knows how to make a mighty fine PvE experience. The main Uprising game mode stars four set characters: Mercy, Reinhardt, Torbjorn, and new recruit Tracer. If that sounds too li

Case in point: there’s this idea floating around that Jon Snow, played by Kit Harington, is a prophesied prince who will lead the forces of the world against a tide of darkness. The show itself has even hinted at this in season 6, when Melisandre referred to Snow as “The Prince That Was Promised.” “I think you have to wait and see what happens this year, and if we find out anything more about Jon,” Harington recently told The Huffington Post. “I think Jon would hate the term ‘The Prince That Was

When the first Atomic Blonde trailer hit the web, I saw a lot of comparisons to James Bond. And that makes sense – our main character is a highly-talented spy on a dangerous mission – but the new trailer emphasizes the film’s John Wick DNA, courtesy of director David Leitch. This new trailer turns the action up with some truly brilliant fight choreography and even a little bit of humor. I’ve gone from “What’s an Atomic Blonde” to “meh” to “I am so onboard.” Directed by David Leitch and starring

That’s why we’ve decided to compile a guide to help you successfully

Uncharted fans, you’ll be able to return to Naughty Dog’s fictional universe full of wonder, excitement, and lots of waist-high grass this fall. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy has an official release date of August 22 for North America, August 23 for Europe. Now, that may seem like a large price to pay for a standalone expansion, but Naughty Dog says that The Lost Legacy will be “a true Uncharted game.” If we tried to do that we’d create a full game,” Naughty Dog communications director Arne Mayer s

If you’ve been following the political posturing in Game of Thrones (and haven’t just been watching for the sex and dragons), you probably know the name Tycho Nestoris, banker of Braavos. “The last scene I’m in with – I probably can’t say because it would be a spoiler, wouldn’t it,” actor Mark Gatiss said at the BFI & Radio Times Festival. Gatiss also said that during a dinner with showrunners Daniel Weiss and David Benioff, he suggested Nestoris be the last man standing. Really, we’ll have to w

The news that Netflix is definitely making a show based on Castlevania and probably one on Assassin’s Creed, then, should fill us with unutterable dread. With this in mind, we asked you, the noble GamesRadar+ audience, which games you’d want to see made into TV shows.

Titanfall 2, Watch Dogs 2 and Dishonored 2 all underperformed in the sales charts last year. Team OXM debate why sequels might be losing their lustre and what this could mean for the future of Xbox games. If there’s a silver lining to declining sequel sales it’s that they send a clear message to publishers that people want new ideas. Matt: Do you think games with longer tails have anything to do with the lack of sales? Kimberley: Having fewer games could mean higher sales, as people would feel l

If the rumours are true then COD will be returning to World War 2 this year. The evidence is strong: by Activision’s own words the series is “going back to its roots” for its next instalment. With that in mind let’s take a look back at some of the series’ greatest WW2 moments. It’s a head-on rush through broken German streets to hoist a Russian flag a top the Reichstag, symbolically and literally ending the war (until COD 2 at least).

A brother and sister cowering in a bomb shelter. Seeing a little hand press against the glass from outside as the bombs fall. Hearing the crash of one hitting the ceiling, and waking up in the mysterious world of Silence. Quick mention, here: in the previous game if you were the ruler of Silence, it meant you were near death in the real world. So imagine the gradual sense of dread you feel as you realise that the little sister looks identical to the Queen of Silence.
