The FIFA 16 demo launched yesterday, and it hasn’t taken long for its dedicated community to pluck these out the bag. Take a look at what we think are the nine best FIFA 16 goals so far. To kick things off we’ve got a delightful bicycle kick from one of the stars of FIFA 16’s women’s teams, Alex Morgan. Next up is Ivan Rakitic with a stunning scorpion kick, following some beautiful skill from Neymar....
Ever since her first appearance under the moniker “The Cat” in 1940’s Batman #1, Catwoman has clawed her way into comic book history as one of the most memorable characters ever created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane. Over the years Selina Kyle has become a fan favorite rogue as both an antagonist and love interest for Bruce Wayne. The pair has not only been crossing proverbial swords for almost 80 years but in the wild world of DC Comics they’ve also had a (non-canon) child together, almost gotten married, and often teamed up for the better of Gotham City....
This The Affair review contains spoilers. The Affair Season 5 Episode 6 “You get what you needed?” “Yeah. I did.” In last week’s episode review of The Affair, I referenced how the experiment that the show attempted with Sierra arguably would have worked a lot better if the episode was just a meditation on Joanie, her past, and her own fears as a mother. That saving grace isn’t applied to “505,” but it’s exactly what happens in “506” and even though Joanie wasn’t present at all in the previous installment, she’s the sole focus this time around....
It seems EA can’t catch a break with Star Wars Battlefront 2 of late, with the latest news being that the Belgian Gaming Commission is to investigate whether the practice of lootboxes constitutes gambling, with Blizzard’s Overwatch also being named under watch. As reported on by Belgian outlet VTM News and translated by Kotaku, the General Director of the commission Peter Naessens says that the practice of buying the boxes may constitute EA and Blizzard as operating a gambling business, which is illegal in the country of Belgium without a permit and could result in fines of ‘hundreds and thousands of Euros’ in addition to other and subsequent games potentially having to take action....
Call of Duty: Vanguard is finally here and with it sees the arrival of a new campaign, multiplayer maps and modes, a new Zombies experience, and more. When you first load into a multiplayer match, the MP-40 is one of the first weapons you get to try out. At launch, it has become a popular choice due to how powerful and reliable it has proven to be. Instantly, you can begin leveling it up to unlock the attachments needed to make a dominant MP40 class in Vanguard....
Glen Schofield is feeling relaxed. It’s been, you sense, a whirlwind few weeks for the Dead Space creator, his new team having finally put out the first glimpse at its stylish, slick and incredibly gory space horror Calisto Protocol at Geoff Keighley’s Summer Games Fest - a reveal that marks a significant milestone in a project spun up some three years ago alongside new studio Striking Distance. “It feels like freedom,” Schofield says as we chat in the sun in an annex to Summer Games Fest’s LA venue....
The global coronavirus pandemic which has already been taking its toll on live events, conventions, and the movie release calendar is unsurprisingly now starting to effect the TV schedule. With so many TV shows in production, and in particular broadcast and network TV shows deep into their seasons with finales looming, it was only a matter of time before the shutdowns began to hit, even if it’s just out of an abundance of caution....
The Good Life recently went back into crowdfunding following an unsuccessful Fig campaign. Now on Kickstarter, developer White Owls and SWERY are slowly but surely heading toward the £456,468 goal with 33 more days to go. To show how the game and environments look, and it does look rather nice, White Owls has released a walkabout tech demo video today which shows the protagonist Naomi walking around the village of Rainy Woods....
Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann has said that he and co-writer Halley Gross have written a story outline for a potential The Last of Us: Part III, though the studio isn’t making the sequel right now. The comments came during the latest episode of the Script Apart podcast (as spotted by IGN) that Druckmann & Gross were guesting on talking about the scriptwriting of The Last of Us Part II. Naturally, the topic of a third game was brought up, and Druckmann said “I don’t know how much I want to reveal… [Halley] and I did write an outline for a story, that we’re not making – but I hope one day can see the light of day – that explores a little bit what happens after this game....

Taiwanese indie gaming has come a long way in a short time. It’s only five years since Red Candle released Detention, a surreal and harrowing expedition into the ‘white terror’ of political purges and martial law that dominates the island’s 20th century history, and - I’m pretty sure - the first game of Taiwanese origin I’d ever played. Since then, I’ve discovered that more and more of the indie games I’ve been enjoying have been made in Taiwan....
Back in July, a Reddit user claimed to have discovered a major secret area in NieR: Automata long after its release. Supposedly, as A2, this player opened a hidden door in the Copied City area that led to a mysterious environment withits own dedicated cutscene. For a few days, this discovery appeared legitimate, as the user uploaded extensive video evidence showing the secret in full. However, it turned out that this secret church resulted from an elaborate mod created by DevolasRevenge, Woeful_Wolf, and RaiderB, which understandably disappointed some players....
I can’t count how many sales we’ve reported on in the last few months, but hey, here’s another. And it’s the big one of the year. That’s right, the Steam Summer Sale has landed for 2021, and it’s bringing the usual plethora of discounts and Point Shop items. This time, however, Valve is doing something, well, kind of neat. Alongside the sale is an adventure minigame called Forge Your Fate. In it, you pick among a list of genres, where you take part in a story with narrative choices....
When I first heard about the Nintendo Switch, I didn’t understand it. I am notoriously thick, so when a rumour went around that the next Nintendo would be like the Wii U but inside out, I couldn’t even picture it. Would we have to stand inside the tablet somehow? I saw wires tangling everywhere. Not fun. Then came the lifestyle adverts. I still didn’t understand it. People playing with Nintendo’s new console on rooftop gatherings and in trendy restaurants with exposed brick on the walls?...

This The Walking Dead review contains spoilers. The Walking Dead Season 9 Episode 12 I try to avoid reading what other people think of The Walking Dead. Part of that is simply self-preservation. The comments section at Den of Geek tends to be wonderful folk with interesting things to say, but that is not the same everywhere else on the Internet. As such, I am uncertain of the groupthink regarding the Whisperers, so I can only speak for myself when I say that they are the most interesting group of villains, visually and creatively, the show has had since the beginning....
The Prawn Suit is a huge mech that you can pilot as you explore the depths in Subnautica: Below Zero. It can be fairly costly and trying to find the components can take a while. Still, constructing it will be worth the time and effort because it’s a gosh-darned mech. Robin Ayou will mostly be protected from harm and you’ll even have a few offensive capabilities. Anyway, here’s our guide to help you build the Prawn Suit in Subnautica: Below Zero....
Nintendo Switch-exclusive Super Mario Odyssey has surpassed 500,000 copies sold in the UK, becoming the second game for the platform to do so (via GI.biz). The figure represents boxed copies sold, so the number is obviously going to be even higher when you factor in digital units. Unsurprisingly, the plucky plumber’s acclaimed adventure was given a massive boost during the Black Friday sales. Hell, I finally made the jump and picked up a copy with my new Switch....
It’s just been announced during Nintendo’s Indie World Showcase that the brilliant FPS-cum-puzzler Superhot is out on Switch. Like, today. You can get it on the eShop for £17.99. Today. Brilliant. When we reviewed the game three years ago, we said ‘Sometimes games just feel right, and Superhot is such a game. It takes something familiar and turns it on its head to create what I expect will become an indie classic....
