The new Adam Sandler movie, Uncut Gems, is getting rave reviews. The movie premiered at the Telluride Film Festival over the weekend before its December release, and it currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 92 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. To be fair, there are only around 10 review scores published thus far, but it is a strong start and potentially representative of how the movie will rate when it's released widely later this year.The movie, which was directed by Benny and Josh Safdie, is a crime-thriller that follows the story of Howard Ratner (Sandler) who is a New York City jeweller intent on amassing more wealth. "When he makes a series of high-stakes bets that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime, Howard must perform a precarious high-wire act, balancing business, family, and encroaching adversaries on all sides, in his relentless pursuit of the ultimate win," reads a line from its description.There has yet to be a trailer for Uncut Gems thus far, but the rave early reviews are an indication that this is one to watch. In addition to Sandler, the movie stars Eric Bogosian, Idina Menzel, Judd Hirsch, and LaKeith Stanfield.Eric Kohn of IndieWire gave the movie an A rating. Kohn wrote that Uncut Gems is a "riveting high-wire act, pairing cosmic visuals with the gritty energy of a dark psychological thriller and sudden bursts of frantic comedy, and it’s the first movie to truly commune with Sandler's performative strengths since Punch-Drunk Love."Meanwhile, Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Sandler's performance shows that time may have provided him peeks at the errors of his ways, but the fact that he’s continued to get away with things gives him the confidence to carry on, without lessons learned. It’s a helluva part, and Sandler aces it.Acclaimed film director Martin Scorsese is an executive producer on Uncut Gems. Info from Gamespot.com

The PS4 exclusive Days Gone is getting an update soon that will add a few new bells and whistles including a New Game Plus mode. It also packs two more difficulty modes, which can be played fresh or in New Game Plus regardless of your original difficulty setting. The update is coming on September 13.According to the announcement, a New Game Plus file will retain all of your weapons, bike upgrades, NERO boosters, skills, recipes, encampment trust, credits, collectibles, and trophy progress. To start a NG+ file, you need to have finished the "I'm Never Giving Up" storyline. You can also use perks from challenges in NG+.The update will include new Hard II and Survival II difficulty modes. These add another layer of challenge to the regular difficulty and post-launch Survival modes, and you can play them with your NG+ file for a leg up. If you're brand new to Days Gone and just want to take on a tough challenge from the start, though, you can play them that way too. You can also earn new trophies in the NG+ and new difficulty modes. The announcement teases a special weapon from a shadowy agent as well.Finally, Bend Studio announced that the Days Gone soundtrack will be available on vinyl through Mondo. It features 25 tracks, and pre-orders will begin on September 11 through the Mondo merchandise website.Info from Gamespot.com

Fortnite is currently in the midst of a surprise crossover event with upcoming looter shooter Borderlands 3, but that hasn't stopped Epic's popular battle royale from teasing yet another pop culture crossover. It Chapter 2 is just one day away from hitting cinema screens, and antagonist Pennywise might soon be appearing in Fortnite to strike fear into players in a similar fashion to the sight of an approaching B.R.U.T.E. mech.Multiple Reddit users have reported seeing mysterious red balloons all over the game's map, from Salty Springs to Pleasant Park. These balloons are attached to storm drains in case the hint wasn't already obvious enough, and they emit a creepy laugh if you interact with them. All of these elements are, of course, synonymous with It and Pennywise. With the movie set to release on September 6, a Fortnite crossover event is likely to coincide with its theatrical debut. What this might entail remains to be seen, however, as Fortnite's collaborations tend to vary in breadth.The current Borderlands crossover event is fairly comprehensive, featuring a new Rift Zone based on the planet of Pandora, as well as themed challenges, Borderlands flavored rewards, and The Psycho Bundle. In the past we've also seen Thanos from the final Avengers movies appear in the game with his own limited-time mode, a Fortnite x Stranger Things crossover event, and John Wick featured as a skin. Whether Pennywise will be a skin or part of something much bigger is up for debate. Fortunately, we won't have to wait 27 years to find out.If you're interested in It Chapter 2, GameSpot has you covered in our review for the upcoming horror flick. With an incredible ensemble cast and a handful of genuinely terrifying and subtle scares, Meg Downey says it's fun as hell to watch these characters come together to face down a terrifying clown monster.Info from Gamespot.com

Nintendo's latest Direct presentation was filled to the brim with exciting news for Nintendo Switch owners. The leaked Switch version of Overwatch was confirmed right out of the gate before Nintendo shared more information on Pokemon Sword/Shield and Luigi's Mansion 3. There was also a surprise announcement for Deadly Premonition 2: A Blessing In Disguise, the arrival of SNES games on Nintendo Switch Online, and plenty of other reveals you can catch up on in our roundup.One of the games making its way to Switch is the free-to-play monster slayer Dauntless. We recently saw footage of Phoenix Labs' game running on Nintendo's hardware at PAX West, and last night's Direct confirmed that the Switch version will feature cross-play support between PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, as well as frequent content updates to maintain parity across all platforms. No specific release date was given, but Dauntless is due out on Switch later this year.GameSpot reviewed Dauntless back when it initially released in May. Ginny Woo said, "Overall, Dauntless is clearly an experience that has been optimized to deliver the most stress-free multiplayer session possible. From the seamless cross-play to the way that anyone can hop into a game and confidently take up arms against formidable foes, it’s refreshingly accessible and looks great to boot. While it can feel a little empty, and there are bugs that mar the experience here and there, its fresh look and lively spark are more than enticing enough to warrant a spin."If you're clamouring for something new to play on your Switch today, we've got you covered with the full list of games released during Nintendo's Direct.Info from Gamespot.com

Cliff Bleszinski was the creator and lead designer on the first three Gears of War games before leaving developer Epic Games in 2012 after 20 years at the company. After some time away, he set up a brand-new studio called Boss Key and went on to release LawBreakers and the battle royale game Radical Heights. The studio unfortunately shut down shortly thereafter, and Bleszinski said he would probably never make another game for a number of reasons.That hasn't stopped him from playing games, though. The Gears of War creator recently tweeted out a picture of the Gears 5 start screen, thanking Rod Fergusson, the studio head of developer The Colation, for the early game code. Bleszinski may not have been involved in the series since 2011's Gears of War 3, but he's still keeping up with the continued adventures of Marcus Fenix and co.However, the most interesting tidbit arrived in a follow-up tweet. "Not gonna lie, seeing a woman on the cover of a Gears game makes me happy," Bleszinski said. "I was told for decades 'games with female leads don't sell.'"Not gonna lie, seeing a woman on the cover of a Gears game makes me happy. I was told for decades "games with female leads don't sell."Call me a SJW if you want, I just like seeing women kick butt, always have, always will. — Cliff Bleszinski (@therealcliffyb) September 5, 2019Women have featured on the cover of Gears before, but never front and centre, and never when Bleszinski was helming the series. If there's one example of the changing times, it might just be Gears of War gradually moving away from featuring four muscle-bound men to putting the spotlight on a female lead. "Instead of focusing on JD and his relationship with Marcus as in Gears 4, the sequel recenters on Kait, who lost her mother to the Swarm at the end of the last game," GameSpot's Gears 5 review explains. "Gears 4's ending suggested that Kait has a connection to the Locust horde that Marcus helped to genocide 25 years ago, and a good portion of Gears 5 is about exploring that connection and uncovering secrets long buried by the COG government."For more Gears 5 coverage you can check out our review roundup to see what the critics are saying, find out how to play the game for only $1, and check out a musical easter egg.Info from Gamespot.com

First Blood wasn't the movie that made Sylvester Stallone a star--he already had made two Rocky movies by 1982--but it helped establish him as one the '80s greatest action stars. Three more movies about soldier-turned-mercenary John Rambo followed, and the series continues this month with the release of Rambo: Last Blood. A new international trailer has been released.While the previous US trailers just showcased the violent action, this sets up the plot. Admittedly, the story is pretty basic--Rambo's adopted niece heads to Mexico to find her real dad but falls foul of a violent cartel, leading Rambo to get back to what he does best. But it certainly looks like it will deliver everything that has made this series so popular over years--check the trailer out below.Rambo: Last Blood hits theaters on September 20 and is directed by Adrian Grunberg, who previously made the Mel Gibson thriller Get the Gringo. The movie also stars Spanish star Paz Vega (Spanglish, The OA) as a reporter who teams up with Rambo.While the title of the new movie suggests that this will be Rambo's final adventure, Stallone recently admitted that he could be back for yet another movie in the series. "Let me just say something about the 'last' of anything," he said, via JoBlo. "I thought Rocky 3 was the last, you know. So I don't know anything. If it works I'll just keep going, you know, because I enjoy it so much."The Rambo series kicked off in 1982 with First Blood and was followed by two sequels in 1985 and 1988. The most recent movie was 2008's Rambo, which Stallone directed and made $113 million worldwide.Info from Gamespot.com

Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia previously outlined its plans for the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, which runs from September 12 to 15 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan. The company announced it would be showcasing numerous games on the show floor and in a nearby mega-theatre, including Final Fantasy VII Remake, Nioh 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and Death Stranding. The most notable news to come out of Sony's plans, however, was the absence of a pre-show press conference, following in the wake of Sony's no-show at E3 and its decision not to host the annual PlayStation Experience this year.Nevertheless, Sony has now revealed the full lineup of games slated to appear at TGS, and it's a pretty huge list. There's a mixture of first- and third-party titles for both PlayStation 4 and PSVR set to appear on the show floor, but the one that grabbed most people's attention is Ghost of Tsushima. The last time we saw the samurai action game was back at E3 2018 when a lengthy trailer was featured during Sony's press conference. The TGS lineup lists it as having a trailer, so everyone assumed new footage would be shown. Unfortunately, Sucker Punch communications manager Andrew Goldfarb soon shut down any notions of seeing something new from Ghost of Tsushima at TGS."I'd imagine they're just showing our old trailers at the booth, we have no plans for TGS," Goldfarb told a fan on Twitter. Presumably, we'll have to wait until next year's E3 to see more from Sucker Punch's latest.In the meantime, Sony plans on streaming live shows throughout the event that will include games like Death Stranding, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, Yakuza: Like A Dragon, and the mysterious new Resident Evil game Project Resistance.Here's the full lineup of games appearing at TGS, courtesy of Gematsu:PS413 Sentinels: Aegis Rim (Atlus) – TrailerAI: The Somnium Files (Spike Chunsoft) – TrailerAtelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout (Koei Tecmo) – TrailerBiped (Next Studios) – TrailerBorderlands 3 (Take-Two Interactive Japan) – Playable, TrailerCall of Duty: Modern Warfare (SIE) – Playable, TrailerCode Vein (Bandai Namco) – TrailerConcrete Genie (SIE) – Playable, TrailerContra: Rogue Corps (Konami) – TrailerControl (Marvelous) – TrailerCyberpunk 2077 (Spike Chunsoft) – TrailerThe Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan (Bandai Namco) – TrailerDeath Stranding (SIE) – TrailerDestiny 2: Shadowkeep (SIE) – TrailerDigimon Survive (Bandai Namco) – TrailerDivinity: Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition (Spike Chunsoft) – TrailerDragon Ball Z: Kakarot (Bandai Namco) – Playable, TrailerDreams (SIE) – TrailerPES 2020 (Konami) – Playable, TrailerFIFA 20 (EA) – Playable, TrailerFinal Fantasy 7 Remake (Square Enix) – Playable, TrailerFinal Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition (Square Enix) – TrailerFortnite (Epic Games) – Playable, TrailerGenshin Impact (Mihoyo) – Playable, TrailerGhost Recon: Breakpoint (Ubisoft) – TrailerGhost of Tsushima (SIE) – TrailerGranblue Fantasy: Versus (Cygames) – Playable, TrailerGungrave G.O.R.E.

Wednesday's Nintendo Direct gave us a closer look at a number of Switch games still to come this year. Nintendo had already said the presentation would share more details about Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokemon Sword and Shield, but it also touched on one of this month's biggest Switch releases: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.Along with showing off some new footage of the upcoming game, Nintendo revealed some additional Amiibo functionality. The company had previously confirmed that tapping a Legend of Zelda Amiibo allows you to add "plus effects" to dungeon rooms in the new dungeon editor mode. During the Direct, we learned that you will also be able to save your custom dungeon layouts to the Zelda Amiibo figures, allowing you to bring them with you and tap them into another player's game.Save your Chamber Dungeons to compatible #amiibo from The Legend of #Zelda series to share them with friends!The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and the Link amiibo arrive on 20/09. #NintendoDirect pic.twitter.com/iPdglsooVI — Nintendo of Europe (@NintendoEurope) September 5, 2019The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Switch is a remake of the classic 1993 Game Boy game of the same name. While most of the adventure appears to be unchanged, barring the updated visuals and other quality-of-life improvements, Nintendo has added some new content to the title, such as the aforementioned dungeon editor. As you progress through the game, you'll acquire Chambers, or dungeon rooms, which you can then arrange in a new area called the Chamber Dungeon to create your own custom labyrinth.We recently had a chance to play the Link's Awakening remake at PAX West and thought it was as fun as it is cute.

Steam's long-awaited library redesign finally has a release date. If you have a registered Steam account you'll be able to opt-in to an open beta on September 17 to peruse the library's visual overhaul and try out all the new features.The update introduces two key changes to your Steam library. First up is a new lick of paint that sees the landing page redesigned with a more modern look, and displays quick access to game updates, recently played games, friend activity, and your collections. Valve is also making it much easier to see what your friends have been up to and what they're currently playing, with all of the relevant information now displayed on the home page.Secondly, the addition of Events will highlight patches and in-game events, and give developers the option to share anything they like, from live streams to fan art. Valve says it wants you to know what's happening with the games you already own without bombarding you with notifications, and Events aims to do just that.Developers have access to Event-creating tools starting today, so your Steam library will be populated with Events once the overhaul goes live on September 17. Valve has promised that more updates and in-depth information on the upcoming features will be released as we approach the open beta's launch.This long-in-development update comes at a good time for Valve. Steam has found itself facing some stiff competition in the PC storefront space. The new Epic Games Store has signed a number of exclusivity deals with games over the past year, including Metro Exodus, Shenmue 3, and Oddworld: Soulstorm. Epic recently announced eight more exclusives at PAX West. Then there's GOG Galaxy 2.0, which promises to unify all of your PC games in one single client, solving one of PC gaming's biggest problems.Info from Gamespot.com

A new batch of Season 10 challenges has arrived in Fortnite. Week 6's set of missions is called Boogie Down, and as you've likely guessed, most of the tasks involve dancing in various places around the island. One challenge that may throw you for a loop is to dance in front of a bat statue, a way-aboveground pool, and a seat for giants. If you have no idea where any of those are located, don't worry; this guide will show you where to go.Where Are The Bat Statue, Way-Aboveground Pool, And Seat For Giants Locations?As the challenge states, you need to bust a move in front of three unique landmarks to complete this task. That's the easy part; the tricky part is actually tracking down the landmarks, which is pretty difficult given how vague the clues are. Thankfully, once you know where to look, they're very easy to find.The bat statue, fittingly enough, can be found in the northern portion of Haunted Hills. The way-aboveground pool, meanwhile, is located on the Floating Island, which returned to the game following the 10.20 content update. Finally, the seat for giants is in the snowy biome, south of Shifty Shafts; it looks like a massive wooden chair, so you can't miss it.We've marked the landmarks' locations on the map below. Note that the Floating Island is moving around the map, so its location may change, but it'll be easy to spot regardless. How To Complete The ChallengeOnce you know where to look, all you need to do is go to the three landmarks and use a dance emote in front of them. You don't need to visit all three within a single round to complete the standard challenge, so you can head to one, get eliminated, then hop into another match and repeat the process until you've visited all three. However, if you're hoping to complete the Prestige version of this challenge, you'll need to dance in front of all three landmarks within a single match.There are still a few weeks left in Season 10 of Fortnite, which means you have plenty of time to complete any remaining challenges from earlier in the season. If you need help with those, we've gathered up maps and tips for all of the trickier tasks in our complete Fortnite Season 10 challenges roundup.Info from Gamespot.com

After sneaking back into theatres for an Extended Director's Cut last month, that version of Midsommar will see a widespread home video release--sort of. It seems Midsommar's extended version is exclusive to Apple TV and, presumably, other Apple devices.Bloody Disgusting was tapped with the news. Over on the iTunes store, the film's description notes that the upcoming digital release features "[director] Ari Aster’s extended and unrated director’s cut, exclusive to Apple TV." The Midsommar: Extended Director's Cut also includes a time-lapse, behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Hälsingland, as well as an exclusive featurette with the film's cast and crew.Midsommar is expected to arrive digitally and On Demand on September 24, and in a Blu-ray Combo Pack (with a DVD and Digital code) and DVD on October 8. The extra goodies in iTunes' Midsommar: Extended Director's Cut will be available on September 24, meaning you'll get to check out the scene Aster absolutely didn't want to cut.In our Midsommar review, we said, "Midsommar is an incredibly strong follow-up to Hereditary, and together, these two auteristic, art-house horror films cement Ari Aster as one of the most talented filmmakers currently working in the genre. Midsommar won't be for everyone--it's not exactly the commercial-minded horror blockbuster we're used to seeing in the middle of summer. But for those who don't mind a strange and terrifying trip, Midsommar is a movie to watch again and again and again."Info from Gamespot.com
