Lincoln Star concept previews upcoming EVs

Following the lead of parent Ford, Lincoln is getting serious about electric vehicles. The Lincoln Star concept previews a line of EVs the luxury brand plans to launch over the next few years. As expected, the Star concept is an SUV. Lincoln has been an all-SUV brand since the Continental was discontinued after the 2020 model year. The exterior vaguely follows the profile of the current Lincoln Aviator, with the passenger compartment pushed far to the back. But in place of the Aviator’s blunt front end, the Star has…

Ghostbusters Afterlife Movie Review: A Less Fun Stranger Things, by Way of Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Ghostbusters: Afterlife — out Friday in cinemas — is a movie rooted in the past and created in the image of its contemporaries. There's a huge Stranger Things spectre hanging over Ghostbusters: Afterlife. After all, the Netflix series is the current pop culture gold standard for kids fighting evil supernatural creatures. Ghostbusters: Afterlife not only abandons the adults-teaming-up formula which the Ghostbusters film series has used so far, director Jason Reitman (Up in the Air) has even plucked a Stranger Things actor…

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 Releasing in 2023 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series S/X: Report

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order 2 is reportedly going to release in 2023 — exclusively for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and PC. Furthermore, the sequel might ditch the Fallen Order name from its title. Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment were previously expected to release the sequel to 2019's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in October this year. This reported delay might have stemmed from the developer's rumoured intent to release the sequel solely on next-generation consoles.This alleged information comes from…

Fastest way to farm Studs in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga

In real life, the stud Lego pieces are kind of useless. However, in every single Lego game, including Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, they are perhaps the most important ones to collect. Ever since the first game, Studs have been repurposed into the game’s currency instead of using something like gold or coins. But the developers didn’t tune their economy to follow realistic conversions. No, in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga you will need to collect millions, perhaps even billions, of studs depending on how…

The Book of Boba Fett Review: Star Wars (Series) Better Off Without Boba Fett

The Book of Boba Fett was always going to fight an uphill task. Only the second ever live-action Star Wars series — all seven episodes are now available on Disney+ and Disney+ Hotstar — it arrived at the tail end of 2021, following two seasons of the beloved The Mandalorian. That's two full seasons of Grogu, better known as Baby Yoda, carving a place in our hearts through instantly meme-able moments. Two seasons of a bounty hunter (Pedro Pascal) kindling his paternal spirit, overcoming his dislike for droids, and…

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: The best upgrades for each character class

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is still a Lego game at heart. You will get a comedic, yet faithful, depiction of all nine mainline films from the legendary sci-fi film franchise, only wrapped in a Lego shell. The game itself is still focused on light combat, platforming, puzzle-solving, and tons and tons of collecting, but Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga improves upon that formula in some substantial ways. For one, the combat itself is far more dynamic and involved than ever before, but adding on to that, the…

Netflix’s summer 2022 movie slate is full of star power

If Netflix’s slate of summer 2022 movies is anything to go by, the streamer is continuing its trend of relying on big-name stars to push its film ambitions. Today, the company released a schedule of movies due to release between May and August, and there’s plenty of star power to be found. The list includes the likes of The Gray Man, a thriller directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, which stars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans; Spiderhead, a sci-fi film led by Chris Hemsworth; Day Shift, where Jamie Foxx plays a vampire…

Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga: All cheat codes

Cheat codes used to be some of the most fun things to play around with in games. These were usually fun little changes that broke the rules of the game for some fun, such as new character skins, adding weird sound effects, changing character proportions, or more practical ones like giving the player infinite health or ammo. However, cheats have mostly fallen out of favor in the modern age of gaming. What used to be unlockable are now withheld as DLC or paid bonuses, or outright ignored completely, with very few games…
