Lionsgate's big-screen adaptation of Veronica Roth's Divergent series may not have reached the dizzying heights of the company's other YA juggernaut, The Hunger Games, though the property has still managed to carve out an audience of its own to warrant Lionsgate seeing the series through to its two-part conclusion, Allegiant.
Mad Max: Fury Road may be turning heads and raising eyebrows for its bat-shit insane set pieces, with the trailers released thus far offering a glimpse at the remarkable stunts residing within George Miller's post-apocalyptic actioner, but this final trailer released by Warner Bros. shines a light on the core plot driving the greasy, sun-scorched blockbuster, and it all centers around the Five Wives.
Super Earth has spoken, ladies and gentlemen. Arrowhead Game Studios, the developer behind the wonderfully addictive co-operative shooter Helldivers, has detailed a new update for the isometric title, with the patch aiming to address several issues with the game's online component and trophy issues.
If you've experienced Bloodborne for yourself -- or indeed any of Hidetaka Miyazaki's past Souls games -- chances are you'll have found yourself lost and without a paddle on more than one occasion. Essentially, it's a key tenet of From Software's game design; thrust the player into a haunting environment and allow them to peel back the mysterious secrets without implementing a map or any tangible form of hand-holding.

By this stage, reboots of age-old classics or sequels to films that nobody necessarily asked for have become synonymous with skepticism -- and no wonder.
