July 31st, 2015

Total War: Warhammer developers have debuted an action-packed 10-minute video showing how the spin-off breaks out from the Total War series.

The demo showcases a huge skirmish between the Empire and Greenskin forces named ‘The Battle of Black Fire Pass’, taking a look at some of the units, spells and creatures that you can deploy on the battlefield.

The mission will be available as a unique Quest Battle mission as part of the game’s overall Grand Campaign.

The developer-commentated footage is from the game’s press demo at this year’s E3 expo, and was said to be a scripted battle from yet-to-be finalised pre-alpha code.

First revealed earlier this year, Total War: Warhammer sees the tabletop fantasy game evolve into huge-scale battles on PC, complete with thousands of warriors, gigantic monsters and flying creatures.

Released sometime in 2016, it will be the first in a trilogy of new titles, followed by two standalone instalments and a host of content packs.

The spin-off follows the release of Total War: Attila earlier this year.

Little Mix stay at No.1 for second straight week

July 24th, 2015

Little Mix have made history with their hit ‘Black Magic’ becoming the UK number-one single for the second week in a row.

The X Factor stars have become the first girl group to have a single top the charts for two straight weeks since Sugababes’ ‘About You Now’ reached the summit in 2007.

‘Black Magic’ became Little Mix’s third single to reach the number one chart spot last week.

“We’re super-duper excited to be number one with ‘Black Magic’ – we never thought we’d see the day again,” Little Mix said at the time. “Thank you so much to the fans… you did this!”

It’s been a whirlwind week for the pop group, as its member Jesy Nelson accepted a marriage proposal from boyfriend Jake Roche on stage days ago.

Meanwhile, Lost Frequencies’ ‘Are You with Me’ climbed back up to the number two position on the UK charts this week. ‘Are You with Me’ was the most streamed song of the week, with more than 2.5 million online listens.

Coming in at number three is ‘Shine’ from Years & Years, while ‘House Every Weekend’ by David Zowie finished in fourth position. Rounding out the top five this week was John Newman’s latest track ‘Come and Get It’, becoming his fifth Top 10 single.

Elsewhere, Calvin Harris’s ‘How Deep Is Your Love’ became his 19th Top 10 hit by entering the charts at number-seven.

5 Seconds of Summer’s latest offering ‘She’s Kinda Hot’ finished at number 18, giving the pop-punk group their fifth Top 20 single.

July 22nd, 2015

A cryptic message from the past sends James Bond on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome, where he meets Lucia Sciarra (Monica Bellucci), the beautiful and forbidden widow of an infamous criminal. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organisation known as SPECTRE.

Meanwhile back in London, Max Denbigh (Andrew Scott), the new head of the Centre for National Security, questions Bond’s actions and challenges the relevance of MI6, led by M (Ralph Fiennes). Bond covertly enlists Moneypenny (Naomie Harris) and Q (Ben Whishaw) to help him seek out Madeleine Swann (Léa Seydoux), the daughter of his old nemesis Mr White (Jesper Christensen), who may hold the clue to untangling the web of SPECTRE. As the daughter of an assassin, she understands Bond in a way most others cannot.

As Bond ventures towards the heart of SPECTRE, he learns of a chilling connection between himself and the enemy he seeks, played by Christoph Waltz.

Released in the UK on October 26
