You’ve probably only just put your socks back on after having them blown off by the Thor: Ragnarok trailer but, sorry, they’re about to be removed in excitement yet again. Here are the five best Thor: Ragnarok cool details and theories from the new trailer. To sum it up: each letter of Thanos should refer to the container where the Infinity Gem is found. We’re missing an ‘H’ which, conveniently enough, we’ve probably seen in the Thor: Ragnarok trailer. For that, we may have to turn to the comics

Showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse spoke with Entertainment Weekly and revealed that they initially wanted the show’s last episode to end with a fight on an erupting volcano. Magma spewing everywhere!”Even after all these years, I’m still obsessed with Lost. The showrunners even seeded the possibility of ending on a giant volcano fight back in season 3, during a scene that takes place in a Dharma Initiative classroom in which a volcano is prominently seen. That’s not nearly as impressiv

The Big Topic: The Xbox Scorpio’s official specs unveilingFurther Discussion: Horizon: Zero Dawn’s wonderful open worldWhat we’re into: Makoto Shinkai’s latest animated masterpiece, Your Name. (yes, the period is part of the title)Microsoft officially released the technical specs for its upcoming console update, Xbox Scorpio, which is great – but are the teraflops enough to get us to come back into the Xbox fold after enjoying the bounty of PlayStation exclusives? We also dive back into Horizon:

In 2019, the character of Batman will celebrate his 80th anniversary, and Warner Bros. could have an impressive celebration lined up: six separate films in the Batman universe might be released during that calendar year. According to a new rumor from Reddit (via ScreenRant ), WB has its sights set on making 2019 a year Batman fans will never forget. There are also two animated Batman movies reportedly planned for that year, including a film adaptation of the iconic limited series Batman: The Lon

You ever wonder what Deus Ex: Mankind Divided’s Adam Jensen does when he’s not being a cyborg superhero, saving the world from the Illuminati and other conspirators? Why, he’s spending time with his family of course. But voice actor Elias Toufexis can at least give us an (adorable) taste of what that might be like:A reading by me, of my daughter’s grade 1 book about love. pic.twitter.com/agFzN65BnlApril 10, 2017Remember: if you know somos feel sad, give them a hog. Video games aren’t the only pl

Microsoft has made a big deal about Xbox Scorpio being “the most powerful console ever” what with its 6 teraflops of processing power. So now that we know what we’re measuring, how does Scorpio stack up? The hard drive is like a storage box: the bigger the box, the more stuff you can put in it. Mostly, a faster hard drive cuts down on loading times. The PS4, PS4 Pro, and Xbox One all feature 8GB of RAM, running at variable speeds.

The fact is that this climatologist for justice is often at the center of many hilarious Overwatch moments. Ice wall, coming up! Ice wall, coming all the way up! This quick-thinking Mei manages to Ice Wall her way back into the field of battle. Mei, today’s Jackson PollackFinally in the Mei highlights of the week, we have this…unusual attempt by a Mei to recreate her ultimate.

Remember the rooftop party from that first ad for Nintendo Switch? The one where the woman awkwardly brings over her Switch so she can play with one other person while the rest of the party stands around and watches? Yeah, forget about that, the game that turns Switch into the proper party machine we always knew it could be comes out on Thursday, and it’s called Jackbox Party Pack 3. It really feels like Nintendo Switch is the perfect other half for the Jackbox premise. Don’t miss the rest of th

Format(s): PS3, PS4, Wii U, Switch, Xbox One, Vita, 3DS, PCShovel Knight is a stellar homage to the classic NES platformers of yore, blending the pacing and boss encounters of Mega Man, the mainly melee combat of Zelda 2, and the overworld map of Super Mario Bros. 3. Rather than an octet of Robot Masters rewired to serve Dr. Wily, Shovel Knight faces off against The Order of No Quarter, eight specialized knights who take orders from the wicked Enchantress. One such subordinate is Plague Knight,

I’ll openly admit that the first two Thor films left me feeling rather flat. Thus, we got two Thor films that promised much but ultimately delivered somewhat neutered safe-bets. But good Lord, that new Thor: Ragnarok trailer. Thor: Ragnarok feels for all the world like the lunatic product of The Chronicles of Riddick, Star Wars, Guardians, and Masters of the Universe. The place where it can deliver a trailer like Thor: Ragnarok, and get the most universally positive, snark-free response it has e

Free trials for a game usually take place over the weekend, but you’re gonna need more time than that to explore all of Tamriel in Elder Scrolls Online – lucky you, Zenimax Online is hosting a free trial week from April 11 to April 18. All you need to do is head to the Xbox Store, PlayStation Store, or Steam page for ESO: Tamriel Unlimited after 10am Eastern / 3pm BST and download the game. Should you choose to take part in the free trial week, you’ll be given 500 Crowns (the in-game currency us

The entire facility has gone haywire, turning co-workers into aggressive robot zombies, plus the security protocols of the supervisory machines have run amok, treating you as a code-red threat. So sit back, stretch those non-exoskeleton-rigged arms, and take a look at just how much mechanical massacring The Surge has to offer. I cannot even *begin* to imagine how much aspirin you’d need to get rid of that kind of stomach ache. No, it’s a robot zombie being thrown in the air and then stabbed thro

The new God of War could bring back one unexpected feature from God of War: Ascension – a multiplayer mode. Game director Cory Barlog reportedly said that God of War would not include a multiplayer mode in the weeks after its big reveal at E3 2016. God of War: Ascension’s multiplayer portion let players create their own mythological Greek heroes to slay monsters in competitive and cooperative modes. The new God of War has a very different design from previous games, with an over-the-shoulder cam

But don’t let that put you off from watching the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 international trailer, because you don’t need words to appreciate Baby Groot dancing and holding up a stained pair of tighty-whiteys. While Vin Diesel provides the voice of our dear tree friend, it’s director James Gunn who provides the dance moves. Directed by James Gunn and starring Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Michael Rooker, Kurt Russell, Bradley Cooper, and Vin Diesel, Guardians of the Galax

It’s also exactly why Taika Waititi is such a wonderful, surprising choice to direct of Thor: Ragnarok. If you’ve read this far, you care enough about Thor: Ragnarok to watch Taika Waititi’s most recent film, Hunt for the Wilderpeople. We know that by the end of Thor: Ragnarok, Bruce Banner and Thor will be standing atop some smouldering ruin, evil defeated, having grown as people while manifestly staying the same. There’s every suggestion we’ll see something similar in Thor: Ragnarok. Thor: Rag

Oh, and a big bundle of prizes to give away to a handful of lucky readers, including this gorgeous replica Phaser courtesy of our friends at the Horror Channel, who are launching the sci-fi zone on April 19, featuring Star Trek: The Original series and Star Trek: Voyager. There’s also a remote controlled Nomad from Mass Effect: Andromeda, copies of Yooka Laylee, and a rather lovely vinyl soundtrack from the game – all up for grabs. All this week we’ll be posting Easter Eggs and Secrets features,

With Star Wars Celebration 2017 happening this week, and loads of potential new info coming out, it’s time to go back and look at everything Star Wars related. EA’s discussion of upcoming Star Wars projects during the week of E3 2016 was quite the tease. We still don’t have names for the upcoming Star Wars projects from Respawn Entertainment and Visceral Games, and all we actually got to see of the latter was literally eight seconds of “early in-game footage”. Clearly, Visceral’s Amy Hennig (mos

The first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok is a whirlwind of science-fantasy vistas that wouldn’t look out of place on a ’70s soft-cover novel and unexpectedly hilarious reunions with old “friends”. Watch the whole thing and see how Thor goes from favored son of Asgard to a gladiator fighting for the enjoyment of Jeff Goldblum. Well, the Grandmaster character portrayed by Jeff Goldblum, but it might as well just be Jeff Goldblum. After nearly a decade of history, that “he’s a friend from work” line is

If you did a word association quiz for Game of Thrones then chances are, alongside dragons and Red Weddings, sex will rank very highly with most people. Yara, Theon Greyjoy’s brother, has already had her fair share of sex scenes and actress Gemma Whelan has revealed the audition (and awkward sex scene) that helped her land the role – and the farting horse that made it even more awkward. Whelan, though, winds the clock (I said clock) back to her audition for her Thrones role where it was Yara ins

According to New York Daily News, Fisher’s family and estate have given permission to Lucasfilm and Disney to use unused footage of Carrie as Leia in Star Wars 9. Moving ahead in Star Wars without Carrie Fisher has been on the table for some time (possible spoilers about Carrie Fisher’s future role within) but it seems a decision has finally been made. It’s refreshing to see Lucasfilm didn’t go down the obvious Star Wars: Rogue One route of creating (another) CGI Leia, but it’ll be interesting t
