Star Wars: Bounty Hunter’s remaster is above-average, but be prepared to face the original’s rough edges The coolest Fett is back. Image credit:Aspyr You might be looking at Star Wars Outlaws as your next stop in a galaxy far, far away, but Star Wars: Bounty Hunter’s Aspyr-developed remaster is a more than welcome return to the PS2/GC-era Star Wars underworld. I vividly remember the original PS2 release of Bounty Hunter becoming a personal favorite back in 2002, mostly because my most-liked character walking out of Attack of the Clones was Jango Fett....

Stardew Valley’s next update will let you drink mayonnaise, and I do not like that Do you think God stays in heaven because he too lives in fear of what he has created?

I know you lot over in the US mostly use it for sandwiches, but it’s simply the best condiment for fries and fried chicken....

Pretty much everyone who’s played Starfield has returned to Earth , either to pursue a mission or just out of curiosity, and a new mod aims to ensure that those touching down on humanity’s home planet won’t be left disappointed. While it does boast a number of interesting locations and landmarks to visit, most of which offer glimpses at the world that existed before people took to the stars and founded the Settled Systems, Starfield ’s Earth is generally a pretty barren wasteland....

Steven Spielberg, director of classics like ET and Indiana Jones, is apparently a fan of… Call of Duty? And he plays on keyboard and mouse, too. Image credit:Treyarch, Raven Software, Activision. It turns out that legendary director Steven Spielberg is quite the gamer, and in particular loves Call of Duty . There’s obviously been several games based off of Spielberg’s works over his many years of filmmaking, so there’s always been a link between the two, but I bet like me you didn’t know that the director likes to play games too....

Image credit:ESA/Summer Game Fest E3 was a horrible, loud, expensive nightmare - but there was doubtlessly a magic about it. Thinking about it gives me a bloody headache, but it’s a nostalgic headache - and I will forever mourn that old, mad format. It ain’t ever coming back - but this week, I think we got a glimmer of what the future could and probably should look like....

The algorithm is ruining film and TV, and we need to talk about it You can tag your spoilers, people! Image credit:Riot/ Netflix/ Fortiche/ Mappa You know what’s a just fine piece of telly? Arcane ! It’s an absolute stunner to look at, I’ll give it that, but I personally don’t find the story all that compelling, and season 2 is rushed beyond belief. As a lover of animation I really did just watch it for Fortiche’s in-house style, that served me well enough, but I do still find spoilers annoying like anybody else, even for a show whose story I’m not that invested in....

The new offshoot The Office series is now ordered, and its premise sounds enticing and eerily relevant Yeah, we can see where they’re coming from. Image credit:NBC The new offshoot series set in The Office universe (whatever that entails) is now a go at Peacock, and its premise sounds really good, actually. Expectations weren’t exactly low, given that The Office creator Greg Daniels and Nathan for You co-creator Michael Koman were involved, but looking at the mid quality of some recent TV revivals quickly put together to boost streaming offerings, it’s reasonable to stay cautious....
