Good news, there's a new Batman Arkham game! Just ignore the fact you'll need a Meta Quest 3 to play it
Those of you wishing for a new Batman: Arkham game will soon have your wish granted, though it might not be exactly how you envisioned it. Earlier this year, Rocksteady released its latest addition to its Batman Arkhamverse with Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League. Unfortunately, it did not go down very well with either fans or critics, and months later the game still isn't in a state that many would describe as good. But, all is not lost, as a new Batman: Arkham game was announced! The...

A bizarre, beautiful, and unforgettable journey of a scorned nun
Indika is a game that definitely isn’t for everyone, as I very quickly learned while stepping into the titular protagonist’s shoes. The story first starts in a Russian Orthodox monastery, where Indika - a nun who is hearing a devilish voice - is clearly scorned by her peers. As the others tire of her, she is expelled from the monastery and ends up on a philosophical journey of self-discovery and self-loathing, questioning everything that she has known up until now.Who determines what acts are...

The new Lego Sonic sets will allow you to get drilled by Dr. Eggman
The world of Lego is nowhere near as secretive as video games, and that means it’s pretty normal for the first word about upcoming Lego sets to just squeak out onto the internet with little fanfare thanks to retailers and the like. Such is the case for the next wave of Lego Sonic the Hedgehog sets, which are set to arrive in August.Lego Sonic currently consists of seven play sets, plus four BrickHeadz figurines and the old glorious Lego Ideas set - but in August, a three new traditional...

From saving Barbie Land to fighting demons, Margot Robbie's next role looks set to be a character from the creator of Deadpool
Margot Robbie might be more focused on her work as a producer right now, but it looks like she's finding some time for her next role too. As reported by Variety, Robbie is apparently currently looking to star in an upcoming adaptation of Avengelyne, a '90s co-created by Cathy Christian and Rob Liefeld, the latter of which being the co-creator of the iconic Marvel anti-hero Deadpool.

Fancy playing the original Fallout remade in Fallout 4's engine? You'll want to look out for a demo this summer
While the likes of Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 are all well and good, after enjoying Amazon's Fallout TV show, a lot of us have been left craving a fresh Fallout experience - or even a new remake - to sink our teeth into.To its credit, while Fallout 4's next-gen update has fallen a bit flat, Bethesda does at least seem to be aware of the desire for it to do a bit more with the series. Though, until it can find a way to up its output, mods will continue to provide plenty of Fallout stuff to look...

The Legend of Zelda film director wants it to be "grounded" so don't expect a motion captured Tingle
The Legend of Zelda movie director Wes Ball has said he's aiming for something a little more "grounded" with his adaptation than he first envisioned a decade ago. Now, admittedly, right off the bat when I saw Wes Ball, the guy behind the soon-to-be-released Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, say that he wants his Zelda move to be more "grounded" and "real" alarm bells went off in my head. You're telling me you want the series where its protagonist, Link, has been a furry, a painting, and a...

My Adventures with Superman is back later this month, and it's looking set to introduce a couple of classic comic characters. Adult Swim dropped a brand new trailer for My Adventures with Superman yesterday (easily the best on-screen version of the iconic hero we've had in many, many years), giving us a look at everything we can expect from season 2. It wasn't actually that long ago that we saw Clark Kent, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen, as the show wrapped up back in September, but as confirmed...

As it turns out, Helldivers 2's self-killing spike has been due to shrapnel, not ricochets
Following Helldivers 2's latest patch, players have suddenly found themselves being insta-killed by their own ordinance on a regular basis, something that they'd no doubt find quite funny if they weren't, you know, trying to score victories for Super Earth.While a change to ricochets that came as part of this latest patch - which also featured a pretty extensive array of balancing changes to weapons - was originally thought by many players to be behind this spike in self-shootings, Arrowhead's...

Diablo 4 Season 4 is actually called Loot Reborn, but boy does it sound light on content
