As one of the most revered developers in the industry and the father of Metal Gear Solid, Hideo Kojima doesn't like to do things by halves. Having trolled players and critics alike with the nebulous, wholly brilliant reveal for Silent Hills back at Gamescom, it seems the series creator may have been at it once more during last weekend's The Game Awards 2014 -- albeit in a more low-key fashion.
If the first full-length trailer for The Last 5 Years -- the cinematic interpretation of Jason Robert Brown's eponymous musical -- proves anything, it's that Anna Kendrick has quickly become the unofficial starlet of the modern Hollywood musical.

When Zack Snyder began to fill the roles for Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, much attention (read: misguided hate) was directed towards a few cast members in particular, such as Ben Affleck as Batman and The Social Network's Jesse Eisenberg as the villainous Lex Luthor.

Coming off the back of an awe-inspiring appearance at last week's The Game Awards 2014, momentum was once again building for the arrival of The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, but developer CD Projekt Red has tapered that excitement somewhat after it announced plans to delay the upcoming threequel by three months from February to May 19, 2015.
Before going toe-to-toe with Jason Statham in Furious 7 or joining the sprawling DC universe as Black Adam, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has quite the threat blocking his path: mother nature. For in Warner Bros.' upcoming disaster film San Andreas, the wrestler-turned-movie star will be caught amidst a monumental earthquake -- dubbed The Big One -- that hits Los Angeles, separating him and his ex-wife (Carla Gugino) from their estranged daughter.

Figures published by retail analyst Chart-Track have revealed that Ubisoft's MMO-styled racer The Crew has entered the UK all-formats charts in sixth place, whereas EA's FIFA 15 reclaimed pole position.
As soon as Nintendo lifted the curtain on the first snippet of gameplay from the company's as-yet-untitled Zelda title, fans of the beloved franchise were left reeling, with The Big N showcasing the game's open-world structure.
