The Review

“No matter how gorgeous its environments are, how clever its enemies are, and how tricky its puzzles get, the fact that Breath of the Wild continues to surprise you with newfound rules and possibilities after dozens of hours is by far its most valuable quality. It’s a game that allows you to feel gradually more and more empowered yet simultaneously manages to retain a sense of challenge and mystery–which, together, creates a steady, consistent feeling of gratification throughout the entire experience. Breath of the Wild is a defining moment for The Legend of Zelda series, and the most impressive game Nintendo has ever created.”–Peter Brown [Full review]

The first teaser for the superhero movie sequel Deadpool 2 has arrived.

Star Ryan Reynolds today posted the clip on YouTube. His character, Wade Wilson, encounters a man getting mugged. Like Superman, he jumps into a phone booth to change into his Deadpool suit–but…well, watch the video to see how it turns out. Stan Lee even shows up.

EW noticed that this trailer also references “Nathan Summers,” which is a reference to Cable, who has been heavily teased for the sequel. Recently, a report claimed Stranger Things actor David Harbour might play him. However, this trailer shows a poster for Firefly, so could it be Nathan Fillion?

Avatar actor Stephen Lang said last year that he would like to play the part.

As for Deadpool 2‘s release date, the trailer jokes that the movie is “coming…not soon enough.” On a more serious note, Fox currently has two slots allocated for upcoming X-Men movies, in 2018 and 2019. One is thought to be Deadpool 2, the other possibly New Mutants.

Deadpool 2 is set to be directed by John Wick’s David Leitch, who replaces the first film’s director, Tim Miller, who dropped out over reported creative differences with Reynolds.

This Deadpool 2 teaser runs before Logan, which is in theaters now.

BioWare has shared some new images and details for Mass Effect: Andromeda‘s multiplayer mode.

Posted by producer Fernando Melo on Twitter, the pictures show off Andromeda’s character-selection screen and more. You can see the images embedded in the tweets below.

As for the new details, according to DualShockers, Melo confirmed that female Krogan characters (and female versions for all races) will be available. You can customize armor (including color and patterns), but customization for your character’s face is not supported.

Continuing from Mass Effect 3, Andromeda’s multiplayer will feature packs containing items that can be unlocked through gameplay or by spending real money.

As for how XP is earned, DualShockers reports that “during matches each player contributes to the total experience granted, and the the whole amount is granted to all.”

Andromeda’s multiplayer beta has been canceled. However, you can try the mode before launch on Xbox One and PC if you have an EA/Origin Access subscription. The EA/Origin Access free trial for the game, which limits you to 10 hours, arrives on March 16, with the full game coming out on March 21 for Xbox One, PC, and PS4.

When will HBO’s Game of Thrones return for Season 7? We still don’t know for sure, but now, actor Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth) has teased that the show may come back in July.

“I’ve been disappointing various people around the world because it was meant to come out in April. It’s July now, I think,” he told The Independent (via IGN).

We’ve always know this new season would debut later than the previous ones, but this is apparently the first time we’re hearing about a July date.

Cunningham also confirmed there will be a special event to mark the season premiere and that, as rumored, it will only have seven episodes. He also said production will begin on Season 8 in September this year.

“There’s going to be a launch and something special happening this year for the premiere. The bad news is, there will only be seven episodes and the final season starts again as far as I know in September,” he said.

A new promo for Game of Thrones Season 7 aired recently on HBO and can be seen above. According to actress Emilia Clarke, Season 7 is going to blow your mind.

Although Game of Thrones may wrap up with Season 8, there is a chance that HBO will produce a prequel.

Disney has released the first picture of actress Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins in its upcoming reboot of the series, Mary Poppins Returns. It’s a classic-looking photo showing Blunt standing in front of the Banks mansion after magically flying there, presumably.

Take a look:

Like the original, the reboot will feature three Banks children, who are played by Pixie Davies (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children), Nathanael Saleh (Game of Thrones) and Joel Dawson.

Also similar to the original, the sequel is set in 1930s depression-era London and tells a story based on the works of author PL Travers. Here is the official synopsis:

“In the story, Michael (Whishaw) and Jane (Mortimer) are now grown up, with Michael, his three children and their housekeeper, Ellen (Walters), living on Cherry Tree Lane. After Michael suffers a personal loss, the enigmatic nanny Mary Poppins (Blunt) re-enters the lives of the Banks family, and, along with the optimistic street lamplighter Jack (Miranda), uses her unique magical skills to help the family rediscover the joy and wonder missing in their lives. Mary Poppins also introduces the children to a new assortment of colorful and whimsical characters, including her eccentric cousin, Topsy (Streep).”

Mary Poppins Returns is directed by Rob Marshall, who made the Disney movie Into the Woods. Mary Poppins Returns comes out on Christmas Day 2018.
