Fresh off his triumph with the Godzilla reboot, Gareth Edwards is taking on another monumental challenge: transforming Star Wars into just a single series of films into a Shared Universe of films. Edwards will direct the first standalone Star Wars film, coming December 2016.

Granted, you'd have to drop it on them from a third floor window or something. But still, if this 22,000-piece, 7-foot-long masterpiece fell on someone's head, they would die. But they could die knowing they were murdered by one of the greatest fan-made Lego sets in existence.

Star Trek: The Next Generation kept boldly going to some pretty amazing places, fashion-wise, after its first few wild seasons . We never again saw quite so many bonkers glued-on costumes, but there was still a lot of WTF. Here's our tribute to TNG seasons four through seven.

And not just any 1920s – the occult 1920s, to be precise. In America these were not roaring ’20s so much as they were snarling ’20s, ’20s stained by shadow and fear – not of what was known, but what was unknowable. Usually it just ended up being your run-of-the-mill Cthulhu End of Days scenario, but sometimes… other things. Witchmarsh is an action-RPG set in said time of menace, but it’s also thrumming with the music and culture of the era. I always hoped the end of the world would be set to jaunty jazz. Oh, and the game’s primary influences? Baldur’s Gate and Wizardry, of all things. It looks brilliant. Trailer below.

The Taito Channel has a video featuring the Japanese arcade version of Valve's Left 4 Dead. The video looks pretty clean and like the co-op zombie game folks have been playing on their consoles and PC for years. After the break we've got a GIF of...

You probably should have called it Faux Dragon Skin, Bioware special edition packaging designers. If you’re going to use it a fake reptile to decorate the supermegaultrodeluxe version of Dragon Age: Inquisition’s box, you might as well go for the ultimate fake reptile.

Other than this misstep, EA/Bioware are going all out with the clumsily yet wonderfully-named Dragon Age: Inquisition Inquisitor’s Edition. A lockpick set! A tarot deck! A quill and inkpot! Pretend money! A bloody enormous cloth map!

Movie enthusiast Bobby Burns (previously) has to little girls re-enact the violent fight scene between The Bride (Uma Thurman) and Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) from Kill Bill: Vol. 1.


Watch side-by-side, for comparison:

Vulture offers a Game of Thrones version of the Guess Who? guessing game.

Here is Vulture's "Game of Thrones Guess Who?" Instead of David ("Does your person have a beard?") and Maria ("Does your person have a hat?"), you're going to have to ask about Daenerys ("Is your person bossed up?") and Jaime ("Is your person missing a limb?") Don't get discouraged by the similarities: Yes, a lot of our Game of Thrones heroes have scars and carry swords, so you'll have to be more specific. It's quite a simple game: Phrase your questions with "Does your person ..." and then add on an identifier at the end.

Just print and play:

Development studio Double Fine made a lot of money back in 2012 when it ran a Kickstarter campaign to fund a traditional point-and-click adventure game which would go on to be called Broken Age - but then, you already knew that, right? What you may...

Ellen Ripley may have been the sole survivor, but she wasn't the only crewmember of the Nostromo. Taking a cue from the 1979 film, the developers of Alien: Isolation are building a cast to support another Ripley on her quest to destroy a monstrous...

Well, this is sensational news. Steven Spielberg may return to genre dramas with the writer from E.T. Even better, he'll be adapting the Roald Dahl book The BFG.

One of the most infamous urban legends in video games has turned out to be true.

An oversized revolver, a chunky pump-action shotgun, a bolt-action rifle, and seeing my own legs: the four things I most want to see in first-person games. Perhaps the first three wouldn’t fit too cleanly into Portal 2 but that fourth, yes, certainly! And joy of joys, a new mod has added that very feature, so I spent half an hour this morning running around staring at Chell’s toes as if the mod turned Valve’s puzzle-platformer into Kyphosis Simulator 2014.

I suppose technically the ‘main feature’ in the Thinking with Time Machine mod is a time machine which’ll have you creating time loops to solve puzzles with the aid of your past self, which is great and all but look, LEGS.

I remember when Dragon Age trailers were all Marilyn Manson, blood, guts and witchy sex. How things have changed. Or perhaps not. The latest trailer for Dragon Age: Inquisition shows some in-game footage, including a moment of dodge-rolling that made me hanker for Dark Souls II even more than I already am, but it’s mostly bombastic music and high-falutin’ voiceovers. In fact, watch the Origins trailer and this one back to back, switch out ‘Blight’ for ‘Breach’ whenever one or the other occurs, and it doesn’t look all that different. Prettier though. And with less blood and sex.

The just released trailer for BioWare's Dragon Age: Inquisition marks it with an October 7 launch date. The clip also has the proper amount of epic exposition with seasoned gravitas, some gameplay and Varric Tethras from Dragon Age 2. Because if...

Matthew Vaughn may be done with the X-Men, and Kick-Ass, but that doesn't mean he's done with comics movies. In fact, he's producing the new movie adaptation of Mark Millar's Superior — a story about a boy with multiple sclerosis who has the chance to become a superhero, if he gives up his soul.

At the end of Mass Effect 3, thousands of ships from all across known space come together to liberate Earth and smash the Reapers. Then a pretty cutscene plays, and we passively watch the ensuing cool space battle. But oh, what if you gathered and commanded the fleet, and they were following your strategy? What if the slog across the Milky Way were a bit more Homeworld-ian? Turns out I didn’t write those sentences as idle musings, that there is actually a purpose to this post.

See, that’s basically the idea behind Mass Effect Reborn, a Homeworld 2 mod where you get to control that Alliance fleet. The first version is out now, if you fancy giving it a bash.

...because it's so great and it'll never, ever happen. I don't know whether to praise artist Stephen Byrne for giving us this magnificent look at what might have been, or to curse his name to the heavens for taunting us with a joy we'll never know. But I may just go have a beer.
