serkis serkis jokers wildAndy Serkis is famous for looking like the loser of a pong marathon at a frat party for bees.  Once he was added to the cast of the new Star Wars film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens there was  much speculation as to whether he’ll be playing a CG character or a regular one. That question has pretty much been answered as we now have news that his character will be called  Supreme Leader Snoke and this pictured emerged of him looking annoyed that no one else came to his pajama party. Is that tip-ex on his face? Who knows.

In a final round up of movie loose ends. There’s a new Point Break movie coming. We have the trailer and synopsis here along with a promo video featuring some of the stunts. Fox are bringing The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen back to life and Disney have announced that they are no longer going ahead with Tron 3.  A petition has gone up to dissuade Disney. Last I checked it had around 20,000 and was aiming for 25,000. Will it help sway Mickey or will he prefer to put all his chips on Marvel movies instead?

If you’re a geek and you like games, chances are you’re a fan of the Batman: Arkham games. There’s lots of new footage of the final one in the series and this time around we finally get to take the Batmobile for a spin. Batman: Arkham Knight is out at the end of the month. Here’s a 7 minute gameplay trailer showing <lauramcaldwell@gmail.com>Poison Ivy and the Batmobile fight some tanks. 7 minutes is a bit excessive I know but it does give you a feel for what playing the game’s actually like.

If that’s too dark for you, Lego Worlds has just been launched on Steam Early Access. Its a Lego game with a Minecraft feel which is unsurprising really when you consider that Minecraft is a video game with a Lego feel. It’s different from the usual Lego Batman, Star Wars, Indiana Jones type game and is more focused on the actual building side of Lego. Check out the trailer below. Unlike Batman, you can actually let the kids play it.

Free Games! It’s June so you know what that means! New games on Xbox Live and Playstation Plus. For the next two weeks on XBOX360 we have Just Cause 2 followed by Thief in another 2 weeks time. For Xbox One we have Massive Chalice for the month of June. For any one with a Sony system, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Skulls of the Shogun: Bone-A-Fide Edition are your PS4 games. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger and Cloudberry Kingdom are for PS3, and Super Exploding Zoo and Futuridium EP Deluxe are for PS Vita and PS4.

And finally, looking through all the new shows on Netflix, I struggle to find anything of merit. So If you haven’t checked out the 13 episodes of Daredevil yet then check that out. There’s also Tank Girl which was added last week. It has a flawed but quirky charm. Until next week. Good Bye!
