Jason Isaacs has been on our screens a lot of late. The former Lucius Malfoy actor is currently gracing online streaming services around the globe as Captain Lorca in Star Trek: Discovery, and his hilarious turn as General Zhukov in The Death Of Stalin will be lighting up a cinema near you very soon. As part of his promotional tour for the aforementioned Russian romp – which has satirical mastermind Armando Iannucci (Alan Partridge, The Thick Of It, Veep) at its helm – Isaacs sat with us for twenty minutes in a swanky London hotel to have a ruddy good chat....

This article contains nothing but Joker spoilers. You can read a spoiler free review right here. Joker may be unlike other comic book movies, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possibly packed with comic book references! Yes, while Joker pays plenty of homage to iconic pieces of 1970s cinema like Taxi Driver, Network, and The King of Comedy, and may not be as open with its DC Comics roots as most superhero movies are, if you know where to look, there’s still plenty of Gotham City and Batman lore to be found....

Whatever your thoughts are on the final cut of Justice League released in 2017, it was clearly not the movie anyone onboard wanted, especially Ray Fisher. Indeed, the actor who played Cyborg in the film has gone on social media several times in the past two months to criticize the film and his disappointing experience in making it. He added to that story Thursday by tweeting a claim that DC Films executive Geoff Johns threatened his career in 2017....

Speaking in a recent interview, Kim Kardashian expresses her dislike for microtransactions, despite the fact that her own mobile game relies on them to make money. Kim Kardashian: Hollywood is the successful mobile game, downloaded over 42 million times, that supposedly features creative involvement from reality TV star Kim Kardashian herself. For those unaware, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood is free-to-play, meaning that it makes money through microtransactions, so some may be surprised to learn that Kim Kardashian doesn’t like microtransactions - at least when they annoy her daughter....

Things are about to get much spookier on Summoner’s Rift, as League of Legends players got a preview of the incoming Fiddlesticks rework this morning. Following a cryptic teaser of the scarecrow’s new appearance, today’s video showcases Fiddlesticks’ updated abilities. As one of the 17 original champions, the rework brings Fiddlesticks into the modern era of League of Legends while keeping the champion’s core identity intact. With a kit that has seen only minor tweaks over the last decade, Fiddlesticks was in dire need of some change....

Forza Horizon 4’s surprise E3 announcement was the LEGO Speed Champions DLC. It came out right at the end of the conference, on June 13th, so by now players have had the time to put in some miles in LEGO Valley. Even though LEGO Speed Champions acts as a plastic coat of paint, the engine inside is still very much that of Forza. It’s the same racing, the same seasonal approach to map changing, and the same live service multiplayer....

With the success of WandaVision, there is a lot of excitement for the rest of the Disney Plus slate of Marvel Studios’ television projects. The release date for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier has been known for a while, but the next major release, Loki, had yet to announce a premiere date. Today, Disney Plus and Marvel Studios finally announced the Tom Hiddleston series will start streaming on June 11, 2021....

MMOARPG Lost Ark is quickly grabbing the attention of millions of gamers looking to join what could very well prove to be one of 2022’s biggest PC games, which means that millions of gamers are also wondering what the best class in the game is and what the best way to build that class is.

Rocky Stoutenburgh, aka RockyNoHands, is the first quadriplegic gamer to sign a professional esports contract with a major organization. A member of the Detroit Gamers, the 33-year-old has been recruited by Toronto-based Luminosity Gaming, a professional multi-gaming esports organization owned by Enthusiast Gaming, which also represents Harley “MrFreshAsian” Campbell, Muselk, xQc, and Lachlan.

Maquette has come a long way. The game was originally shown at GDC 2011, where it immediately drew comparisons to Portal for being a first-person game with an innovative mechanic for puzzle-solving. 10 years later, Maquette is finally available and unfortunately, it becomes quite apparent that the game simply does not have the same legs as other hit first-person puzzle games of recent years. Maquette’s title refers to scale models, which is fitting as the game is all about interacting with a model version of an area to in turn manipulate the regular-sized version of that area....

Infinity War is upon us. Thanos will soon be upon the Marvel Cinematic Universe and he will bring with him destruction like we’ve never seen. But, moviegoers will say, do you really think they’ll let the heroes lose? Shouldn’t Thor be ready to unleash the full force of his god powers? Aren’t the Guardians of The Galaxy there to help the Avengers in the most awesome of team-ups? Don’t they have a Hulk?...

Marvel’s Avengers has been one of the most elusive and highly-anticipated video games of the past generation, with very little detail known about the upcoming game until quite recently. In preparation for the launch of Marvel’s Avengers next month, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics released two presentations known called War Tables, offering players an in-depth look at the game’s story, heroes, loot and progression systems, and its plans for post-launch support....

Taking on the entire Mass Effect trilogy is a truly enormous project. Beating all three games would take around 100 hours of your life, give or take. There’s no wondering why players miss content they would have really enjoyed because they just weren’t willing to put another 10 hours or more into every game. Not to mention, as an RPG, Mass Effect is built to pull the player into the story....

The latest Metroid Dread previews include quite a few (mostly positive) words about the highly-anticipated upcoming Switch game, but the one word that’s jumping out at everyone at the moment is “scary.” Granted, the Metroid franchise has always utilized horror elements (its revolutionary atmosphere can partially be attributed to the various ways it was influenced by the Alien films), but with a few possible exceptions (most notably the SA-X sequences from Metroid Fusion), it’s tough to say that the Metroid franchise has ever been especially frightening....

Early on in players’ first play through of Minecraft Dungeons, they are likely to come across an item which references souls. Souls can be an incredibly useful aspect of the game if used properly, but there isn’t much information on how to do so. Put plainly, there are many items in Minecraft Dungeons which help the player obtain souls. Without these items, doing so will be impossible. After obtaining souls, they can only be used by items which specifically say that they require souls to use....
