Closing out tonight’s State of Play, we were invited to “set out on an epic and unflinching journey as Kratos and Atreus struggle with holding on and letting go” in a new story trailer. We can see the towing Tyr (the other god of war) in more detail in this new tease, as well as swelling music and heart pounding scenes - I mean, of course. You can see this trailer for yourself below....

If your phone contract is coming to an end, you’re probably wondering whether you should renew your current mobile phone plan, buy a new smartphone with a cheaper tariff, or switch to an affordable SIM-only plan. Or perhaps you’re looking to buy one of the latest Apple or Android models outright? Whatever the reason, there are loads of cheap mobile phone deals available on the market these days, and we’re here to help you find the best option for you....

At least you can have fun with it, and that’s exactly what YouTuber and animator King Bob Gaming did, having recreated the entire trailer with Nintendo 64 graphics. The video is a near frame-by-frame recreation of the trailer, with authentic assets from Super Mario 64. Minus Chris Pratt’s underwhelming “let’s a-go” line, I quite enjoyed this rendition of the movie. But the most compelling scene was without doubt Bowser pulling off half of Luigi’s low-polygon mustache....

While Hoothoot may be pretty rubbish in raids and comptetitive play, its evolution, Noctowl, does see Great League and Ultra League use in Pokémon Go. However, the real draw for this week’s Spotlight Hour is the special bonus that runs alongside the event – the double evolution XP bonus. On this page: Hoothoot 100% perfect IV stats in Pokémon Go This week’s Spotlight Hour is a great opportunity to catch a Hoothoot with perfect IV stats....

After completing each cauldron, Aloy once again gains the ability to override different machines throughout the world. Exploring the cauldrons also counts towards 100% completion of the game. So, in order to get different machines on your side and do cool stuff like fly around the world on a Sunwing, you should explore the cauldrons. Here’s where to find each cauldron location, how to get in and what to expect....

As before, you earn XP for completing quests as well for certain actions - we’ll explain how the level system works, what XP means and how to use skill points to make Aloy stronger. On this page: If you’d like to learn more about Horizon: Forbidden West, check out our pouch upgrades, door code for Death’s Door mission and Tallneck in Cinnabar Sands. You can completely ignore the recommended level the game shows you for any of its main quests, but with the many activities throughout the Forbidden West, you can quickly earn XP and make things easier for yourself....

To complete it, you’ll need to visit a seriously spooky area in Fortnite, one that’s home to zombies, ghosts and even a miniboss called the Inkquisitor. There’s four Terrifying Tablatures that need digging up, and you’ll have to get them all in a single match to earn the rewards. Here’s how to do so. On this page: How to dig up and collect terrifying tablature in Fortnite The best way to dig up and collect Terrifying Tablature in Fortnite is to head into your Quest menu and track the quest....

Ihis is one of the new Special Evolutions found in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, and makes use of a cool feature only possible in the Switch games, where you can see Pokémon walking around. Here’s where to find a Bisharp if you haven’t caught one already, and then how to evolve it into Kingambit in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. On this page: If you’d like to learn more about your Paldea adventure, visit our Pokémon Scarlet and Violet walkthrough....

You must do this before Saturday, 30th April since catching Darkrai is a limited-time event. If you don’t download the Member Card before this date, you’ll never be able to add Darkrai to your Pokédex! Due to this, we recommend downloading the Member Card even if you don’t currently meet all of the requirements to catch Darkrai. On this page: After doing so, or if you already have Mystery Gift unlocked, make sure you download the Member Card before Saturday, 30th April at 8:28pm (local time)....

Giving and recieiving gifts offers a huge amount of benefits, from the obvious and the material to the subtle and collectable. The most obvious perk, beyond a quick top-up of Pokéballs and Potions, is the daily bump to your Friendship Level. Beyond that, opening gifts is the only way to get the elusive 7km Eggs with their exclusive egg pools – most recently being the only way to access the new Hisuian Forms added in July 2022....

That’s no different with Sonic Frontiers. While Sonic is free in the open zone, the cyberspace levels show up the awkwardness of Sonic’s movement. Now there’s a mod to fix that, courtesy of BeatzYT3 over on GameBanana. Their Improved Physics mod makes a number of changes to momentum and balance to ensure Sonic’s movement feels more fluid. Watch on YouTube Sonic Frontiers - The DF Tech Review - Every Version Tested - PlayStation, Xbox, PC, Switch!...

It’s a Roguelite action RPG, in essence. You’ve got one shot at fighting through a series of rooms, many with enemies, until eventually you reach a boss to complete the mission. There’s a lot of slashing and dodge-rolling, and the pace is fast. But the different bit is the in-between, which is where the theme of the game really comes through. You’re a lamb saved by the devil as a blade hits your neck to sacrifice you....

“Interested in a tougher challenge in #NintendoSwitchSports,” asked Nintendo. “Try entering ZR + R + A or ZL + L + → on the difficulty select screen.” This text in itself wasn’t enough to set the internet ablaze. However, the picture accompanying the news was. Why? Because it showed Matt with his new ’legend’ title brandishing a baton ready to take on players (thanks, IGN). Matt, of course, found fame in Wii Sports as the final boxing champion players face in the ring....

Sinclair was an inventor first, a businessman second. Born in 1940, he was a precociously gifted child, particularly good at mathematics, and both his father and grandfather were accomplished engineers. A voracious reader and tinkerer, he spent his school holidays teaching himself the things that his secondary school could not, and by the age of 14 had reportedly already come up with a design for a submarine. History, sadly, does not recall if he ever attempted to build and sail it....

We are talking secondary school, the early years. In an old paperback belonging to my stepmother I was reading about this substance, spice, that allowed people to fold space, to travel between distant points without actually traveling anywhere. And then on the computer screens in the old PC lab in my school, these rows of monitors would occasionally switch from whatever they were doing - pages of text, maths programs - and you’d get, what?...

Shadow Man - which was based on Valiant Comics’ Shadowman series and originally released for N64, PSone, Dreamcast, and PC back in 1999 - charts the adventures of Michael LeRoi, the latest in a line of voodoo warriors all adopting the Shadow Man moniker. The fondly remembered video game adaptation reimagines the comic book character’s battle against the forces of darkness as a blend of third-person platforming, puzzling, and combat, playing out across both the real world and its terrifying counterpart, Deadside....

The increase - which sees the average salary jump by ¥73,000 (that’s £442) a month - follows similar initiatives by Bandai Namco and Capcom in a bid to attract and retain its staff. The company has also pledged to boost the starting salary for new graduates from ¥234,000 to ¥290,000 - that’s a jump from around £1417 a month to £1756 in order to “improve the motivation” and “welfare” of its staff....

The main component of the set is the life-size replica model of the console, but that’s not all. The 2532-piece kit will also include a joystick, three game cartridges, and a small diorama display for each of the games included. The cartridges, for Asteroids, Adventure, and Centipede, can actually be inserted into the console itself. There’s also a cartridge holder for when you’ve got one of the other games loaded in the consoole....

Similar to Red Bricks, Datacards are required to unlock cheats, but the big difference is that you can’t enter a code to get Datacards instantly. Instead, you have to find Datacard locations scattered across all nine episodes in order to toggle cheats like handy Stud multipliers or ‘Big Head Mode’. This guide will explain exactly how to get Datacards in LEGO Star Wars Skywalker Saga, and all Datacard locations. Explainers: Datacard locations: While using the Galaxy Map or a taxi to travel between planets and hubs, you can see if an area contains a Datacard if it has the symbol of one displayed in the description....

Lorn’s Lure feels like a game designed to terrify climbers, and as a climber myself I can testify that it works bloody well. Specifically, it’s designed to terrify trad climbers, the people who scramble up crags with gear and rope. You play as a robot trying to climb out of a mysterious alien structure. At some point you went in too deep, and now your only option is to press on further, a little organo-mechanical thing scratching away at the walls of an unknowably vast complex of gutters and wires and porous grey cliffs....
