Whistle director breaks down the gory horror movie's surprisingly sweet ending: "I wanted it to be gentle"
Almost every character in Whistle dies before the screen cuts to black and the credits roll. Hell, even the ones who actually survive pass over briefly in the final act in an attempt to confuse their murderous fates and stop ’em killing them for good.Before we delve into the specifics, you should be warned that this article contains major spoilers for Whistle – though you’ve probably already guessed that. Turn back now if you’ve yet to watch the movie and don’t want to know what happens!So, considering the body count, I’m not sure we could justifiably claim the horror movie…
If you think open worlds are too big, play Shrinko / if you think open worlds are too small, play Shrinko
The open world dislikers bundle through the door of Dr Shrinko’s office like mardy harlequins, fuming and shrieking in their oversized licensed gear. One is wearing GTA 6 brand trousers so long they reach to her eyes. Another sports an Elden Ring hat that extends to his ankles. “Doctor, doctor!” they wail. “The open world games are too big. They consume all of our free time. Why, it takes Yasuke 40-100 hours to get from one end of Assassin’s Creed Shadows to the other!” Dr Shrinko leans back in his chair with a pleasant smile. “Solution is simple,”…
In a familiar twist of fate, Cyberpunk 2077's TCG adaptation needs a lot more time in the oven
Night City is intoxicating. The neon lights; the rainsoaked streets; the neverending vice; the graffitied dark alleyways. Anything is possible: you can rule with an iron fist, or be crushed like an ant beneath the boot of corporate authority. It’s a place where you make the rules, and you choose if you want to follow them. That feeling of phantom liberty is what makes Cyberpunk 2077 so perfect: its world is familiar (you get up, you grind, you sleep, repeat), yet equally so foreign. Its lawlessness is enticing, its cyberware a dystopian vision of a potential future that, in many…
Blizzard insists its Overwatch rebrand isn't "us trying to admit there was a failure," it's about easing fears over "when it's going to get replaced by Overwatch 3"
This week, Blizzard announced that Overwatch 2 is now just Overwatch again, but it’s not ready to call its seemingly failed attempt at a full-blown sequel a, well, failure.The newly 2-less Overwatch was announced as part of a substantial rebrand ushering in a “new story-driven era” for the shooter, and it’s all kicking off with a year-long narrative arc called The Reign of Talon, consisting of six seasons that’ll release over the course of the year. Season 1, which comes out February 10, will add a whopping five new heroes to the roster, and a further five will be added…
Razer BlackShark V3 specs: Connection: 2.4GHz wireless, Bluetooth, USB Microphone: Detachable Drivers: 50mm Frequency response: 12Hz – 28kHz Battery life: 70 hours Price: £143 / $140 Like the Turtle Beach Vulcan II TKL keyboard – except as astute readers will notice, this is a headset – the BlackShark V3 Pro is something I’ve welcomed into my everyday PC kit for months, yet apparently needed the invention of a new review format in order for me to talk about it. Whoops. Still, the length of that happy headwearing should tell you something: I like it, a lot.
Like the rip of a Chainsword, the brutal brilliance of Warhammer 40k: Space Marine 2 practically came out of nowhere. A sequel to the 2011 cult hit, it feels like a return to form for early 2010s console experiences, a non-stop action fest focused on putting the chaotic gameplay first, more than anything else. After becoming a huge success, Space Marine 2 is getting plenty of content in its second year, and right now, it’s cheaper than ever – so there’s no better time to get it. Space Marine 2 is arguably one of the best Warhammer 40k games ever…
Bungie reluctantly responds as the best raiders in Destiny 2 force each other to solo-kill the Witness final boss "or drink pee" as punishment
Like some people, I haven’t been playing as much Destiny 2 lately, but I have enough love for the game that it wouldn’t take the threat of a Bear Grylls cocktail to get me to log in again. Nevertheless, a concerning number of Destiny 2 raiders – enough to catch Bungie’s attention, anyway – have issued and completed a solo raid challenge which they’ve appropriately dubbed, “Solo Witness or Drink Pee.””We’ve heard about the alternative community punishment,” the Bungie Twitch account said in a comment shared to X/Twitter. “We will not be typing that out on the branded account.”The challenge,…
If you're struggling to play tactics sim Menace, it could be because your antivirus is randomly deleting files
This week saw the early access launch of turn-based tactics game Menace, created by the piss-swigging misanthropes behind Battle Brothers. Julian has been having a wonderful time playing it and learning about the importance of spare ammo and adequate reconnaissance. It could have been worse, Julian. Your antivirus software could have deleted some of the game’s files. This being one of the currently known issues listed in the patch notes for the game’s first proper update.
The next Diablo 4 class reveal has a date, but it's the promise of something new for D2 Resurrected that has me smiling
I think I’m ready for Diablo 4 to come back into my life. It’s been a rather sporadic appearance over the past year, with the seasonal updates since its first expansion not pulling me back in for the long haul despite major tweaks to its underlying systems. But we’re now on the road to its second DLC, with Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred set for late April, and Blizzard has confirmed that we’ll be finding out what its next new class is as part of the Diablo 30th Anniversary Spotlight in just a few short days. Perhaps even more intriguing,…
