Let’s get the obvious stuff out of the way first. Moon is directed by Duncan Jones, David Bowie’s son, uses old school miniatures and models instead of CG and directly references the classic ‘used future’ sci-fi style of the Seventies and Eighties. OK, now we have the cheap media hooks out of the way we can get down to the brass tacks, because Moon is, without doubt, one of the best English language films produced in years....
Since reforming out of the ashes of Midway Games, Ed Boon and NetherRealm Studios have seemingly found a comfortable groove in alternating between two very popular fighting franchises. It’s most recent release, Mortal Kombat 11 continues the cliffhanger storyline left at the end of Mortal Kombat X with the fall of Shinnok and Raiden’s new darker persona. The game has already spawned plenty of downloadable content including an expansion which continued the experience and brought back a few familiar fighters along the way....

Multiplayer is what brings us all together in these trying times. Life is hard and isn’t getting much easier, but a good multiplayer game can brighten your day and make all of the troubles of real life wash away. It’s also exactly what No Brakes Games’ CEO Tomas Sakalauskas attributes with his incredibly successful game Human Fall Flat passing its first one million in sales. In an interview we recently held with Tomas himself, we probed him about whether he expected the massive success of the game early on, and what he believes helped push it above and beyond his own expectations, and the reason is, among other things, multiplayer....
Over the years there have been some amazing television shows and, in them, some incredibly memorable characters. Some of these are played by big names brought in to help garner an audience. Every once in a while though, a relatively unknown actor will simply steal the show. While many of these actors use their newfound stardom to transition into the world of movies, others stick around with dreams of finding another big television role to make their own....
Streaming service Netflix has officially announced that a brand new Sonic the Hedgehog animated series titled Sonic Prime will be available to watch next year. The announcement comes after Netflix seemingly released the news by accident via Twitter in late 2020, but only now have they given official confirmation. The series will consist of 24 3D animated episodes and is described as “a high-octane adventure where the fate of a strange new multiverse rests in his gloved hands....

It’s all change in the world of the Batman these days. Bale out, Ben Affleck in, prequels over sequels and crossovers confirmed; it’s enough to send any self-respecting bat-fan into a state of hype-induced hysteria. With the next entry in the superb Batman: Arkham franchise set to swoop into view later this year, developer Warner Bros. Interactive has been hard at work pushing Batman: Arkham Origins to the very top of the Gamescom agenda....
It’s that time of the year again: Konami is gearing up for the next season of soccer gaming with the annual Pro Evolution Soccer 2013. While last year’s edition of the game put in a solid performance, we were left questioning if Konami could really differentiate themselves from the massively-funded FIFA franchise, which has an absolute majority market share of the soccer gaming market. While only time will tell, we’re excited to see what Konami can bring to plate for PES 2013....
About ten years ago The Walking Dead was just a comic book created by Robert Kirkman. No doubt it was a beloved piece of graphic novel history, and one that had amassed a huge fan base, but The Walking Dead is now is much, much bigger. Now, The Walking Dead is a brand. Its AMC TV series adaptation is easily one of the most successful shows around and Telltale Games’ episodic game series is an award-winning and critically lauded triumph....
What were our UK TV obsessions in 2021? Nuclear submarine thriller Vigil provided six episodes of high-stakes underwater fun, while 1980s-set AIDS drama It’s a Sin, written by the next Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies, deservedly topped many people’s ‘Best Of’ lists. April saw the release of Sky One original Intergalactic – the story of a wrongly imprisoned galactic pilot who breaks out of space jail with a gang of other high-security female prisoners, and there were crime dramas aplenty, from Bloodlands to Grace, to wiggy supernatural binge-fest Behind Her Eyes....
It’s always been the assumption that, after Kingdom Hearts 3, fans of the action-RPG series would have to wait quite a while until the inevitable Kingdom Hearts 4. We do have the rhythm game spin-off Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory coming out this November but, while it will be continuing the series’ narrative, it’s not the next major entry some fans may have hoped for. Series creator and director Tetsuya Nomura has been taking part in interviews recently to discuss Melody of Memory and the series’ future in general....
Polestar has revealed its 2024 refresh of the Polestar 2 5-door electric compact, and it gets a few major boosts in key areas. The front end has been redesigned to look a little more like the recently-released Polestar 3. There are also upgrades in performance and range, plus rear-wheel drive for the first time. The new Polestar 2 will benefit from the SmartZone tech first introduced with the Polestar 3. It uses a front-facing camera and mid-range radar to improve driver and passenger safety....
One of the first projects I took on to keep myself occupied at the beginning of the pandemic was a mission to learn all the lyrics to Weight of the World from Nier: Automata - in Japanese. I know about ten Japanese words total, none of which are in the tune, so I thought this was going to take me ages. Instead, I managed to learn the whole song in about 20 minutes, because it turns out I’d heard it so often that all I had to do was learn how to properly pronounce the sounds I was already humming with near-perfect accuracy....
Fortnite is a global phenomenon at a level rarely seen in video games, and its influence is tangible in virtually every segment of modern day pop culture. In fact, even this year’s New Year’s Eve event in Times Square, New York City seems to have caught the Fortnite Fever. Prominent internet personality and professional Fortnite streamer Tyler “Ninja” Blevins announced Ninja’s New Year, an event in partnership with Red Bull where Ninja will stream Fortnite live from Times Square....
The people have been asking Nintendo about their next console and the higher-ups have answered… sort of. Nintendo has had some real hits and misses over the years when it comes to the fan reception and popularity of their consoles. They have created gaming devices like the classic N64, the handheld wonder that is the Game Boy, and of course the incomparable Nintendo Switch. But their past is also marred with things like the often forgotten Wii U....
[UPDATE: Bungie has decided to separate the Niobe Labs puzzle from the Bergusia Forge unlock process. Instead, the forge will unlock at 2pm PT on Jan 9th.] It is now 24 hours after the launch of Destiny 2’s Niobe Labs mission and so far not a single fireteam has completed it. We reported yesterday that the puzzle-solving associated with the encounter was dividing fans and that sentiment has continued to grow now that Niobe Labs has become the longest Destiny activity to complete....
When Hello Games’ No Man’s Sky launched in early August 2016, hype surrounding the title was genuine. The developers promised near-infinite procedurally generated planets to explore, intriguing creatures to encounter, and, perhaps the most exciting element, a multiplayer experience. Unfortunately, No Man’s Sky failed to deliver on almost all fronts. Now, after a whirlwind of backlash, No Man’s Sky seems to have bounced back in its latest update that introduces multiplayer-like gameplay....
You’d think that after releasing Minecraft from its beta shackles last year, that developer Notch would want to take some time off and collect his thoughts. Unfortunately, for him, and fortunately for us, those creative juices just can’t be stopped, and we were blessed with Notch’s most recent creation, Minicraft, a few weeks ago. Created as part of a 48-hour theme-based game development competition, Minicraft appeared to be a spiritual successor to Minecraft, but really was its own clever, small-scale creation....
