Hyper Sentinel is a game that’s best to watch instead of waiting for me to try and describe it. It’s a shoot-em-up that’s bright, colourful, loud, easy to pick up and play, and will hoover up hours of your time if you let it.
Solo: A Star Wars Story – Beforehand, I had a really bad feeling about this. Why? when I first heard about the man who was playing Han Solo, I was instantly disheartened. It’s Alden Ehrenreich (Rules Don’t Apply). My choice – as I’ve said many times before – would be Anthony Ingruber (below) who played […]
Battlezone Gold Edition takes what was great about the Virtual Reality edition of the game, as released on PC and PS4, and gives us more. You can see my full review of the PC version here, but for a brief premise of the game: Back in 1980, Atari launched Battlezone – you’re a tank, the […]
Omensight has the premise of an action/murder-mystery game where you must prevent the apocalypse; and a bit like Groundhog Day, you have to repeat the same day over and over – albeit in this case, that day is the end of the world – and once you’re done, life can move on. When I first […]
A Very English Scandal centres around the late Jeremy Thorpe (Hugh Grant), an MP who became the leader of the Liberal Party, but – starting in 1965 and with the story going back to 1961 – it was a time when being gay was very much frowned upon back then. Thankfully, times these days are […]
Antigraviator is a Wipeout-style racer coming out soon on PC/Steam from Iceberg Interactive and Cybernetic Walrus, and it’s a multi-award winning anti-gravity racing game, which will also be put on PS4 and Xbox One later in the year.
Given that Sony’s game has only appeared on Playstation before now means that this is exactly what PC and Xbox One owners need.
This week, there are SIX new films out for you to choose from: Deadpool returns in… Deadpool 2, the tale of an illicit relationship is told in Allure, Bilbo Baggins goes on another quest with Martin Freeman in Cargo, there’s a fantastic French drama/comedy in Jeune Femme, there’s a drippy romantic drama in Submergence, and Saoirse Ronan stars in period drama On Chesil Beach.
Deadpool 2 is less than a month away, as Ryan Reynolds (right) again takes the role of Wade Wilson, and in this final trailer (yes, you’ve heard the word ‘final’ again. REALLY?!), and despite this being a Marvel film, yet those characters with Fox being on a different contract, Deadpool throws a sleight at Marvel with Josh Brolin’s other big superhero character, from Avengers: Infinity War, “Pump the hate-brakes, Thanos!”
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 is due out on PS4, Xbox One and PC on October 12th and, today, the multiplayer reveal trailer has been… revealed!
Fans can pre-order the game now and get access to the Private Beta. On the PC, it’s been stated that the game delivers a fully-optimised experience, which for the first time in Call of Duty’s history will be available exclusively on Battle.net, Blizzard Entertainment’s online gaming service.
Now, I hope that this means it’s been fully play-tested, since when I got Black Ops 3 for review on PC, the game was broken and wasn’t patched for some time.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout is coming to cinemas this summer and while most series would be looking crazy-tired by their sixth outing, the fifth movie, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation was the best one since the first one, for me.
However, the downside with this is that it looks like there’s too many characters in this one, and a lot of them from the previous movie, so it’s like a continuation but it feels like not too much thought has gone into it. However, it is good that writer/director Christopher McQuarrie is back, since his stuff is almost always worth a look.
And now a second trailer has been released, as well as a new poster.
Check out the new trailer below and click on the poster for the full-size iamge:
Escape Plan 2: Hades is coming: We didn’t need it. We didn’t ask for it. But it’s coming… straight to DVD… and Blu-ray…
Ray Breslin (Sylvester Stallone – getting second billing, this time) manages an elite team of security specialists trained in the art of breaking people out of the world’s most impenetrable prisons. When his most trusted operative, Shu Ren, is kidnapped and disappears inside the most elaborate prison ever built, entirely computerized and constantly changing shape, Ray must track him down with the help of some of his former friends.
Mile 22 centres around an elite American intelligence officer – played by The Raid‘s Iko Uwais, aided by a top-secret tactical command unit, who tries to smuggle a mysterious police officer with sensitive information out of the country.
This is another collaboration of Peter Berg and Mark Wahlberg, with additional occasional collaboration from John Malkovich, who all brought us the incredible Deepwater Horizon, and the first two also brought us Lone Survivor and the superb Patriots Day.
So, I’m definitely in.
Mile 22 is released in the UK on August 10th.
Director: Peter Berg
Writers: Lea Carpenter, Graham Roland
Also stars: Lauren Cohan, Ronda Rousey, Terry Kinney, Sala Baker, Poorna Jagannathan, Alexandra Vino, Lauren Mary Kim, Nikolai Nikolaeff, Raven Wynn

Deadpool 2: You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll hear naughty words!
First off, there’s a BIG Logan spoiler – as well as a non-spoilery note that the Wolverine was ‘riding on his coat tails’ for getting an R-rated film on the big screen (or 15-cert in the UK), but either way, if you haven’t seen that film and you are planning to do so, DO watch that first.
Movie Charts UK and US week ending May 13th 2018 are as follows:
Warmind is the second expansion from the Destiny 2 Season Pass, and opens up Mars and its frozen area, not seen in the prior game in your pursuit for Rasputin and the Valkyrie weapon. This expansion finally introduces you to Ana Bray, even though she is, literally, only in the first few story missions and then becomes a vendor. You also finally get to meet Rasputin. Both of these have been mentioned in logs and Grimoire since the first game so it pieces things together and fills in a few gaps.
The campaign itself is short. If you rush, you can get through it in around two hours, while taking it at an average pace, you are looking at three hours tops. There are only 5 missions altogether, and you come across your usual enemies: there’s the Cabal for good measure just to make things a bit more interesting, but you will be facing off against the Hive… yet again. This time, instead of creating a new enemy, they have just added ice to the Hive (looks like ice armour), but other than that, they are exactly the same as they always have been since the first game.
Onrush BETA – yes, the game is out next month, and I’ve checked out the BETA of the game briefly, on the PS4. What I’ve played is what you see here, and it’s great crash/bash/smash fun, reminding me of MotorStorm: Arctic Edge on the Sony PSP which I hugely enjoyed.
It’s very fast and furious, and the faster you go, the more you boost, and the more Rush you build up, to the point where you can go at blistering speeds… as long as you don’t get taken down by someone else, and this proves how much I suck at online gaming!
