Mrs Davis - Her or It?

US Network Peacock have released the trailer for as wacky as it sounds upcoming nun fighting an A.I. apocalypse series Mrs. Davis which in Australia is headed for Binge.

Comedically we wouldn't say its hitting every joke out of the park but on the whole we like what see, with two notes. One of those is potentially problematic.

Order of the Apocalypse

Amid persistent rumours that Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League will be delayed to later this year or next and with last year's Marvel Midight Suns and Gotham Knights both bombing to different extents, fans of comic inspired or themed gaming might be pleased to know that there's another indie title looking to scratch your itch - Lethal Honor: Order of the Apocalypse for which there is now a gameplay overview trailer.

Void Crew

A new developer with absolutely no information about themselves on their website - just an email address inviting you to ask them questions and an outdated 2018 copyright notice giving us some indication of their age - has unveiled Void Crew.

A co-op space ship simulator which allows you (and friends) to walk around, customise and operate your vessel. The trailer has a decidedly comedic slant.

Redfall Story Trailer

Now less than two months from release - just around the corner - open world vampire shooter Redfall has a story trailer.

If you've been following the game as closely as us the new stuff is quite some way in, but it's there, and there's also a respectable amount of new gameplay footage.

Sta R Field

The Australian Classification board has rated Bethesda's upcoming NASA punk action roleplaying game Starfield, R18+ for "high impact" drug use.

Australia is world renowned for video gaming classification strictness and this decision would appear in line with previous ones but we reckon this game is a special case.

Random Remnant

In gaming and quite possibly every field of commerce one often hears the claim that something truly unique is being sold, but today we saw one which may be real.

Post-apocalyptic souls like Remnant 2's developers have cranked the volume up on procedural generation all the way to the story level so no two players or single player on multiple playthroughs is likely to have the same experience.

Callisto Contagion

The second DLC for released in December survival horrer The Callisto Protocol has released and it is remarkable, but not in a good way.

Never imagined being asked to pay for a harder difficulty level for a game. The bundle also includes cosmetics but it still feels cheeky charging customers for an extra hard mode.

Snyder Surprise

Following explosive revelations in a Rolling Stone article detailing the reality behind the scenes and also potential social media fakery underpinning the Zack Snyder's Justice League recut, and DC CEO Jim Lee pouring cold water on the notion of a second revival, probably everyone regarded his DC run as over, but a fresh cryptic tweet from Zack suggests otherwise.

Colour us curious.
