Joe and Matt have seen Shazam! and have some lovely things to say about it. Cardy hasn’t, but he has watched two other films which he also has lovely things to say about. All 3 of them have played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, of which lovely things are spoken about.
There’s also a cameo from a 15 year old deck of top trumps and a nail-biting edition of Go On Name Them. It’s a thriller. Please enjoy:

There aren’t a lot of city builders that let you roleplay a specific type of leader, so I immediately took a liking to the freedom Tropico 6 gives you to do just that. There’s nothing stopping you from trying to build a communist paradise where everyone lives in haciendas and banana pickers make as much money as tech executives, or a brutal military dictatorship that only cares about how efficiently human lives can be turned into profitable exports. Nothing, that is, besides an unwieldy economic simulation that can quickly go belly up without giving you easy access to information on how to fix it.
There’s a lot going on across the inviting white sand beaches, bungalows, and lush jungle interiors of the latest version of Tropico, which look great except for the waterfalls, which seem lifted out of a 10-year-old game. Despite its relaxing environment, its politicking, trade, and mission systems kept me busier than any of its predecessors as I strived to stay in power and accomplish objectives that would advance me from the colonial era all the way up to the modern day – many of my own making in sandbox mode, as well as pre-made ones in its 15 story missions.
Rise of the Giant is a brand-new, totally free expansion for Dead Cells. It adds two new biomes called Cavern and Astrolab, each with its own big bad end boss. The titular giant can be fought at the end of Cavern, and you can watch Motion Twin themselves run through the new stage and take the behemoth down in the video above. As for Astrolab, that level can only be accessed after defeating the Hand of the King with four Boss Stem Cells in hand, so we’ll leave the contents of that level for dedicated players to see themselves.
Rise of the Giant is the latest example of Motion Twin’s strong relationship with its community. In fact, its free release is the developer’s way of saying thank you to a fan base that constantly makes suggestions the team implements into the game. The team also plans on creating even more content based on fan feedback.
Motion Twin pulls plenty of ideas from its own team too, of course. The giant itself is an original creation of a technical designer, while the Astrolab stage is the vision of a one-time intern who’s now fully employed by the studio. Both stages are filled with new enemies and items created by the team as a whole.
Rise of the Giant is available now for the PC version of Dead Cells. It’s coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch at a later time. We loved the original release here at GameSpot, naming it one of the best games of 2018.
PAX East 2019 is off to a big start, with the official reveal of Borderlands 3 and some other big announcements from Gearbox Software. We also got hands on with some lesser known, but equally awesome games like Creature in the Well.
PAX East has always been a convention that attracts talented cosplayers. So far, we’ve seen characters from Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, League of Legends, and more. Check out the best cosplay get-ups from day one!

Star Trek: Discovery regains its stride with “Perpetual Infinity” after last week’s exposition-heavy outing, and while this segment is also chockfull of plot and technical techings of the tech, it’s got enough action and character to balance things out nicely.
It all starts with a flashback to Burnham’s childhood, and more specifically to that fateful day when her parents were killed by marauding Klingons while she hid in a closet and listened to them die. It’s nice to see the family just being a normal family at first — until it all goes horribly wrong and Michael’s life is irrevocably altered. But whereas we previously believed Michael’s folks were both killed that day, we see here that her mom attempted to escape via the Red Angel time-travel suit that she was working on. Alas, her plan went awry, and she essentially wound up lost in time.
A 24-year old security researcher who worked for the Malwarebytes security company was arrested and narrowly avoided jail for hacking into Microsoft and then hacking into Nintendo while on bail.
As reported by The Verge, Zammis Clark, also known as Slipstream or Raylee, admitted to hacking into Microsoft and Nintendo servers and stealing confidential information, including 43,000 files from Microsoft’s internal Windows flighting servers which contain pre-release versions of Windows.
Clark gained access to a Microsoft server on January 24, 2017, and proceeded to upload a “web shell to remotely access Microsoft’s network freely for at least three weeks. Clark then uploaded multiple shells which allowed him to search through Microsoft’s network, upload files, and download data.”
