The first big-ish patch to arrive following the launch of Diablo 4’s fifth season is dropping tomorrow, August 20. Assuming you won’t be too busy keeping up with all the Gamescom Opening Night Live goings on, this one is actually going to get you to play.Update 1.5.1 focuses on Infernal Hordes, the new endgame activity that’s the major feature the season is named after. It also has some quality of life changes that I genuinely thought were already in the game because of how basic they are.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settings Before we get into the Infernal Hordes tweaks, it’s worth highlighting the small, but massively impactful changes patch 1.5.1 makes to the UI and user experience.

Read moreNintendo is appearing to forgo its usual September Direct with a pair of presentations coming tomorrow, all in one livestream.There are pretty much two times a year you can expect a Nintendo Direct: June, which is non-E3 season, and September, which probably has some kind of financial reason, but any which way, there’s pretty much always a September Direct. But it seems like Nintendo is doing things a little differently this year, as it has announced today that tomorrow, August 27, there will be not one, but two Nintendo Directs. Kicking things off at 7am PT/ 10am ET/ 3pm BST is an Indie World presentation, which as you can probably tell from the tin, is all about indie games.

Read moreThe Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is, perhaps unsurprisingly, supposedly going to be split into two films, according to Ian McKellen.It seems like Warner Bros is looking to continue its tradition of stretching out Lord of the Rings films into slightly too long with its next project, The Hunt for Gollum – you might remember that The Hobbit was turned into a trilogy, despite there not being quite enough book to actually manage that, but hey ho, there’s money to be made. And there’s even more money to be made, as the Gollum-centric film announced earlier this year will apparently be two films. This comes from Gandalf himself, Ian McKellen, who recently made an appearance on ITV’s This Morning where he was asked about whether he’ll be appearing in the film.To see this content please e…

They could do things that are commonplace these days like email, stream live video, take pictures, and even play games. In-depth games too, with even big names like Final Fantasy having exclusive releases on Japan-only phones (also known as Keitai phones), like the Final Fantasy 7 title Before Crisis – there were a few Kingdom Hearts games too, the most notable being the original version of Kingdom Hearts Coded (with the rest just sort of being minigames). A lot of these have sort of been lost though, as hardly any of them were released outside of …

Read moreDC is ramping up its casting process a bit for its new cinematic universe, with progress being made on both its Green Lanterns series and Supergirl.There’s been lots of rumours about how might be cast as Hal Jordan in the upcoming Green Lanterns show, simply titled Lanterns, with early reports claiming Josh Brolin had been offered the role, and later reports saying he turned it down. However, Deadline reported earlier this week that Kyle Chandler, known for series like Bloodline and films like Godzilla: King of Monsters, is currently in talks to star as Hal. He hasn’t been 100% confirmed just yet, but it is sounding like he’s the most likely one to take on the role. If he is cast, this’ll be the first time that character will appear in a live-action DC property since the 2011 version with …
Read moreWarning: Minor spoilers for the opening few missions of Starfield Shattered Space lie ahead.Starfield’s Shattered Space DLC arrived yesterday, and there’s a good chance you’ve already started it, or binged it in one night if you’re nonplussed about sleep. While I haven’t done the latter, I did bring along the one base game companion that has a connection to House Va’ruun for the bits I’ve played so far. Should you bring her along too? Well, kinda, and you seemigly might end up running into a bug that makes it totally pointless.Andreja’s the companion I’m talking about here, since her whole thing is that she’s Constellation’s resident House Va’ruuner and would surely be a good candidate to bring back home to Va’ruun’kai, right? After all, it is her home planet, and if you’ve ended up good m…
