EA’s long-running racing franchise is back with Need For Speed Heat, which puts you in the depths of tuner culture in a fictionalized version of Miami, Florida called Palm City. By the day, you’ll be participating in sanctioned, legal races, but by night, you’ll be watching out for the cops and taking things to the streets. In the gameplay video above, you can see the game in action through the Yoshikazu circuit race for a win in our old-school Mustang.
Car customization is at the heart of tuner culture and Need For Speed Heat alike, and an extensive, yet simplified, upgrade system lets you tinker with your ride in various ways. Gone are car classes as well, and as a result, there are fewer restrictions on what car you can use for races–now you can get more use out of that sweet Nissan Skyline that you tricked out with NOS, side skirts, turbo-chargers, and a ridiculous spoiler. It’s all part of the fun when you’re outrunning cops and going through Heat’s campaign.
Need For Speed Heat is out now on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, and you can try it out for 10 hours if you have EA Access or Origin Access. You can read our initial preview of Need For Speed Heat, but be sure to check back for our full review of the game.
UPDATE: The first rumblings on what actress Jayme Lawson’s “notable role” might be in The Batman have surfaced.
According to io9, Lawson will play Bella, “a grassroots political candidate running for office in Gotham.” And, as the site points out, Bella is also the name of the female lead in that other Robert Pattinson-led franchise, Twilight.
Our original report follows.
The already talented cast of Matt Reeves The Batman has reportedly added newcomer Jayme Lawson to its ranks in an undisclosed role, according to Collider. If Lawson’s name doesn’t ring a bell, that is because The Batman will be her first film role, as she just recently graduated from The Juilliard School, one of the world’s leading performing arts schools.
A new trailer for the upcoming animated Scooby-Doo movie Scoob! has been released, hinting at a film that covers a long period of time and sends Shaggy and Scooby on an intergalactic adventure.
The trailer flashes all the way back to Scooby and Shaggy’s first meeting, showing how Scooby-Doo got his name, as well as the first meeting between Shaggy and the rest of Mystery Incorporated. It also features ghosts, robots, and aliens–it’s not yet clear whether it will end with them pulling off a bad guy’s mask, or if there are actual extraterrestrials involved.
The voice actors who have traditionally voiced the characters have been replaced with Hollywood celebrities, with the exception of Frank Welker, who has played Scooby-Doo since 2002’s A Scooby-Doo! Christmas and will reprise the role here. Shaggy is now played by Will Forte, Fred by Zac Efron, Daphne by Amanda Seyfried, and Velma by Gina Rodriguez. The film also stars Mark Wahlberg, Ken Jeong, and Tracy Morgan.
Scoob! is due to release on May 15, 2020. It is the big-screen debut of director Tony Cervone, who previously directed Scooby-Doo! And Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery, Tom and Jerry: Spy Quest, and The Flintstones & WWE: Stone Age Smackdown. The screenplay is written by Kelly Fremon Craig (The Edge of Seventeen, which she also directed) and Matt Lieberman (Playing With Fire, The Addams Family 2019).

The next big streaming service, Disney+, is almost here. It includes movies and TV shows from Star Wars, Marvel, Pixar, Nat Geo, and of course, Disney. Now, you can watch every episode of Gargoyles in one sitting, you lucky duck. But how do you actually watch Disney+?
As for how to watch Disney+, as of this writing, there is no official guide from Disney nor confirmation of what devices you can watch it on. According to the official site, “Disney+ will be accessible on a wide variety of devices, including PC, mobile phones and tablets, and a wide range of connected TV devices.”
However, there are a few places, such as Forbes and What’s On Disney Plus, reporting how to watch the streaming service. It’s the typical batch of apps and devices you already use for other services like Netflix, Hulu, and others.
How To Stream Disney+ (Apps And Platforms)
iOS devices (iPhone, iPad)
Android (Phones and Android TVs)
Web browsers
Apple TV
Fire TV
Roku
Chromecast
Xbox One
PlayStation 4
Samsung and LG Smart TVs
We’ll keep you updated with any added devices or ways to watch Disney+ content. Keep in mind, that at this time, this is just for users in the US, Canada, and the Netherlands, as Disney+ launches in these countries first. Australia and New Zealand will be getting Disney+ on November 19, and the service will hit Europe in Spring 2020. Disney+ will cost $7 a month for the standalone service. However, you can bundle it with ESPN+ and the ad-supported version of Hulu for $13 a month. There are also discounts if you sign up for an annual subscription, essentially getting two months for free.
Disney+ is available on November 12.

Anthem, BioWare’s beleaguered shared-world squad shooter for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, will celebrate the holiday season with a new winter-themed event. During Icetide, the world of Anthem will be blanketed in snow and ice, as everything freezes over for winter. There will be celebrations and festivities, but also unique challenges for players to deal with over this period.
A preview of the upcoming event ran over the Public Test Server for PC players over the past weekend, ending on November 11. During the preview period, the Tyrant Mine Stronghold was available to players, giving them a taste of the new missions offered up by the limited-time seasonal change. In freeplay, players also encountered more outlaws to fight, Snow Globe Storms to deal with, and an all-new time trial event. Fort Tarsis and the Launch Bay were also kitted out in decorations for the festive season, which will return when Icetide is made available for all players. It’s unclear when Icetide will be available in Anthem, but it’s fair to assume that we’ll see it before Christmas.
BioWare’s game recently added Mass Effect armor to celebrate N7 Day, and made major changes to how content will be released for the game in the future. It’s also faced setbacks as major figureheads leave the project: lead producer Ben Irving left the studio in August, followed by head of live service Chad Robertson earlier this month. Hopefully Icetide will reward fans who have stuck with the game during its difficult first year.

Google Stadia is launching in just over a week, and the company has been quiet on which games will be available right out of the box when the first customers get to log in on November 19. Now it has broken that silence, outlining the full launch lineup as well as another batch of games to come online throughout the rest of the year.
In the announcement, Google says it will start with 12 “carefully chosen” games, with an additional 14 more coming by the end of the year. The launch lineup does notably include two fighting games, Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown, along with the rhythm games Thumper and Just Dance 2020. Those all seem aimed at addressing latency concerns right out of the gate.
They join other big console releases like Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, the rebooted Tomb Raider series, and Red Dead Redemption 2. The lineup also includes Destiny 2, which is included with a Stadia Pro subscription. Given that Stadia Pro is part of the Founder’s Edition, and those will be the only people playing on day one, that means everyone playing will get it.
Check out the full listing of both launch day games and others coming throughout the rest of the year.

It’s likely that most of what you’ve seen of Death Stranding revolves around traversing vast plains or hiking across mountains while balancing a backpack full of packages; basically getting from one place to another in one piece. At its core, much of the gameplay tasks you with making deliveries and overcoming the challenges presented by the terrain. As Sam Porter Bridges you try to piece together what’s left of America. However, there is traditional combat in parts.
Not only do BTs pose a great threat that’ll have you stressing when sneaking about, but you’ll have to get your hands dirty in combat. And in the video above, we show you an S-rank run of a long and intense boss fight on Hard difficulty.
Later in the game, you take on the terrifying Combat Veteran in what appears to be the trenches of a World War I battlefield. You must use cover and the equipment found around you, and a few guns take him down and the deathly soldiers conjured up during the fight. Be warned, this video may contain spoilers.
Death Stranding is out now on PlayStation 4 with a PC version coming in 2020. Be sure to read our Death Stranding review for our full thoughts on the game.
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons (Gray or Neon Red/Blue) | $60

It appears that only the original gray or neon red and blue Joy-Cons will be eligible for this awesome deal. Nevertheless, if you’re gifting a Switch this holiday or want to have some multiplayer fun at your holiday party, you shouldn’t pass up this deal.
After months of build-up, Disney+ is nearly here. Disney’s streaming platform is landing with hundreds of movies and TV shows available to stream, spanning the many decades of live-action and animated storytelling from the studio. In fact there’s so much available, that it might be a bit confusing to know where to start, so we’ve jumped into the line-up to pick some must-see movies.
After the uncertainty of the 1980s, which saw Disney struggling to find its identity as it tried–and largely failed–to pull in an older audience with darker takes on fantasy movies, the studio found incredible success in the ’90s. While there were some live-action hits, it was Disney’s animated output that defined the studio this decade. Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and The Lion King smashed records and won awards to an amazing degree, and are now considered classics right up there with the very best of the studio. Even the slightly less successful pictures, such as Mulan and Pocahontas, are great movies that hold up superbly 20 years later.
But there was more than just traditionally animated movies. Stop-motion genius Henry Selick directed two of the decade’s best, including the Tim Burton collaboration The Nightmare Before Christmas, and there were also rom-cons, teen movies, spooky fantasies, and retro superhero adventures. They’re all on Disney+, along with much more from the decade. So to get you started, here are the best ’90s movies to stream right now on Disney+. And once you’ve finished reading, check out GameSpot’s guides to Disney+’s best movies from the 1980s, all the Marvel movies and TV shows, and all the Stars Wars movies and shows to watch on day one.
