Disney has debuted a new Moon Knight trailer, revealing a closer look at Oscar Isaac's Marvel hero debuting March 30 on Disney Plus. Marc Spector – AKA Moon Knight – is a character with dissociative identity disorder who cannot tell the difference between his "waking life" and his dreams. The character has a distinctive look and British accent, and, yes, we're getting Batman vibes from his brutal beat-downs. We previously had our first look at Isaac's version of Moon Knight at last year's Disney Plus Day . The character has a complicated history in the comic book, which you can read all about in our Moon Knight explainer . The series also features Ethan Hawke as villain Arthur Harrow and the actor previously revealed he was taking inspiration from the cult leader David Koresh with his performance. Meanwhile, May Calamawy, best known for the show Ramy, has a supporting role. Jeremy Slater, an executive producer on The Umbrella Academy, acts as the series' head writer and … [Read more...] about New Moon Knight trailer shows Oscar Isaac’s Marvel hero in action

Deep in Tokyo's fashion district I'm told there's a climbing wall like no other. I first read about it years back in Dezeen. Occasionally I wonder if it's still there. I hope it is. The wall is in a branch of the ILLOIHA fitness club, and it was created by the design team Nendo. "To express the original brand concept of "becoming beautiful through movement", we chose the theme "rock-climbing in Omotesando"," the website explains. "[We] developed a design that uses the mismatch between a rugged outdoor sport and Tokyo's fashion district to its advantage." … [Read more...] about Off Topic: A Tokyo climbing wall like no other

The Kingdom Hearts series comes to Nintendo Switch next month on 10th February via cloud-only versions of various games - and at a price. Individually, you'll be able to pick up Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX Cloud Version for $40. Both Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue Cloud Version and Kingdom Hearts 3 + Re Mind (DLC) Cloud Version cost $50 each. Alternatively, you can get the lot via the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece for Cloud edition, which is priced at $90. (At the moment, there's a 20 percent off offer if you pre-order - meaning this is temporarily $72.) These prices are live now via the Kingdom Hearts website and US eShop . We've asked Square Enix for UK-specific pricing and will update when we get it through. In the meantime, the $90 price point - especially just for a licence to stream these games - has raised eyebrows among fans. It's not the first time Square Enix has been embroiled in pricing controversy, either. In December, Square Enix … [Read more...] about Square Enix sets $90 price for cloud-only Kingdom Hearts series on Nintendo Switch

Innersloth has revealed the roadmap for Among Us in 2022, with friend lists as the next major addition. It's a much requested feature, allowing players to match up with their friends more easily without using codes. "Finally you'll be able to keep in contact with any Crewmates you get along with... or keep tabs on your greatest enemies, I guess?" reads the update post . "We know a ton of you have found some lifelong friendships from this game and that's really cool - we want to allow you to keep in touch and continue playing games together!" Quality of life improvements are also planned, to provide clarity around account setup, Cosmicube redemption, and other elements of the game. "You're basically experiencing the building of Among Us and our adjustment to its popularity with us haha. That being said, confusing you isn't the goal, so making improvements to the UX is also coming up next. Thanks for being patient with us!" Collaborations will continue in future. Next up are … [Read more...] about Innersloth will add friend lists to Among Us this year

Fortnite's most infamous location, Tilted Towers, has returned to the battle royale's island. Four years to the day since it was originally added to the game's first map, today's v19.10 update sees the city-like location return. Today's update also brings with it another major addition: Klombos. These hulking, wandering dinosaurs can be clambored onto, and their blowholes used as a launchpad into the air. Klombos can also spit out useful items if fed Klomberries, a new healing item available across the map from certain bushes. Tilted Towers gained enormous notoriety in the early days of Fortnite as the sweatiest place on the map. Originally added to the game in season two, back in January 2018, it soon became the only place many players would land. Too popular for its own good , developer Epic Games toyed with destroying Tilted Towers during Fortnite's fourth season meteor event - but instead teased fans by flattening only a single building. The location finally met its … [Read more...] about Tilted Towers is back in Fortnite

Danganronpa, the popular high school murder adventure series, has today arrived on Xbox for the first time. In a surprise launch, Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Anniversary Edition has turned up for PC and Xbox One and Series X/S - and is also available for all of the above via Game Pass. Publisher Spike Chunsoft announced the release early this morning via Twitter, though Microsoft is yet to officially include it in its Xbox Game Pass listings. The peculiar series follows a group of high school students who are imprisoned by a sadistic bear named Monokuma who forces the teenagers to kill each other. Part Hunger Games, part Persona, and part Saw, the horror series was a commercial success that originally launched on PlayStation Vita, and has since spawned various sequels and turned up on various other platforms - but never Xbox, until today. Investigate murders, search for clues and talk to your classmates to prepare for a rollercoaster of a trial.? #Danganronpa is now … [Read more...] about Danganronpa makes surprise Xbox debut today

Andrew Garfield has revealed that he didn't even tell his The Amazing Spider-Man co-star (and ex-girlfriend) Emma Stone the truth about his role in Spider-Man: No Way Home . "Emma kept on texting me, and she was like, 'Are you in this new Spider-Man film?' And, I was like, 'I don’t know what you’re talking about.' She was like, 'Shut up, just tell me.' I’m like, 'I honestly don’t know.' I kept it going, even with her. It was hilarious," Garfield told the Happy Sad Confused podcast (via The Hollywood Reporter ). "Then, she saw it, and she was like, 'You’re a jerk.'" Garfield was famously very vocal in his denial that he wasn't in the movie – there were so many instances, in fact, that one fan even made a compilation video of them. Of course, he and Tobey Maguire both showed up as their iterations of Peter Parker thanks to the multiverse, along with a whole host of villains including Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, and Jamie Foxx's Electro. … [Read more...] about Andrew Garfield didn’t even tell Emma Stone the truth about Spider-Man: No Way Home

'In Damascus the traveller sings in his heart: I return from Syria neither as living nor as dead but as a scudding cloud that lightens the butterfly's burden upon my uprooted soul' Syria is burning. Where once it was a refuge for the exile poet who composed the verse above, it is today at the tragic epicentre of ructions whose aftershocks rumble far beyond its borders. Reactions in contemporary digital media have taken varied forms, and might tell us something of the potentials and the pitfalls which lie before developers who feel a responsibility to use their art in the cause of humanity. At the antipodes of taste and good judgement lie the responses of the Parisian Institut du Monde Arabe (IMA) and of Russian indie developers Cats Who Play. The former has used the Steam platform to freely distribute a virtual reality art installation created by Ubisoft as part of the 2018 exhibition Cités Millénaires as Age-Old Cities VR. Donning their Vive, Oculus, or Index … [Read more...] about Understanding sympathy and solidarity in games

A speedrunner at Awesome Games Done Quick completed Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice in two hours blindfolded. The speedrun was part of the digital event that raised over $3.4m for Prevent Cancer Foundation. Not only was this the highest total for a single GDQ event, AGDQ 2022 reached $1m in donations in the shortest amount of time. The Sekiro speedrun was done by streamer Mitchriz using only memory and audio cues to guide him, although he previously completed the game in less time. "I finally did it after the months of grinding. Really happy with this one, and so excited to show off all the new strategies at GDQ," tweeted Mitchriz back in 2021.
