  07-10-2026 20:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Mike Flanagan says he opted to skip the infamous pig slaughtering scene in his adaptation of Carrie."Yeah, I didn't have much of a stomach to watch the pig get slaughtered," Flanagan tells GamesRadar+. "There's so much cruelty in the show, but it was also seeing the lack of horror on Chris's face that became more horrific to me. And seeing how far down that road she'd gone and her kind of fascination with that. Yeah, that was how we decided to approach it. I just felt like we've endured so much

• How to solve the Private Rooms door sex positions puzzle in Hellraiser Revival

  08-10-2026 14:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  The Hellraiser Revival Private Rooms door block puzzle is probably the raunchiest head-scratcher Aiden Lynch comes across in. This puzzle is found at the end of the club foyer during the ‘Hunt Marlowe’ objective, not far from the Hellraiser Revival Voyeur Room door puzzle. However, like the Hellraiser Revival Leviathan statuette puzzle earlier in the game, you cannot solve it as soon as you find it. Instead, you first need to find the embossed block that fits the door. Below, I expla

  Solving the Hellraiser Revival Leviathan statuette puzzle is one of the first head-scratchers in the game, testing you with a gold, diamond-shaped ornament with a labyrinth design which is missing its tip. Your instinct may be to hunt high and low for the missing piece in the red hallway that the statuette is in, but you can't solve this Hellraiser Revival puzzle right away – though you can find one of the Hellraiser Revival codes for the red hallway’s locked cupboard nearbyInstead,

• Hellraiser Revival codes for all the cupboard, lockers and keypads

  08-10-2026 14:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Throughout Clive Barker’s Hellraiser Revival, Aidan Lynch finds cupboards, doors, safes, and lockers that require a four-digit keypad code to unlock, which you can decipher through environmental clues. Behind each locked door are vital (and often scarce) resources, including ammo, weapon upgrades, melee weapons, crafting materials, and health items. In addition, if you open five of these keypad locks, you're awarded the Codebreaker trophy.

• Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival review: "Pinhead's return is glorious – a true love letter to the original movies"

  08-10-2026 14:00 via gamesradar.com
  
  Early on in Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, as I try to escape a torture dungeon full of mangled victims with only a plank of wood for protection, a huge man in tough leather stomps towards me, calling me "vanilla" as he shrugs off my hits. In a way, he's not wrong. While the violent adventure protagonist Aiden Lynch is thrust into is filled with extreme gore and upsetting imagery, its core combat is fairly basic. Enemies take hits until eventually keeling over on the spot, and guns I pick u

  08-10-2026 14:00 via gamespot.com
  
  Let's get the obvious out of the way: Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival is a grotesque game. It puts sex and extreme depictions of human mutilation front-and-center in its first-person perspective, and asks you to face it–even stick your hand in it. It's uncompromising in bringing Clive Barker's vision to a level of fidelity that not even the movies could dream of matching. It looks incredible.While salacious in its nature, it can be easy–even forgiving–to fixate on Hellraiser

  In Hellraiser Revival, the Genesis Configuration is as essential to gameplay as it is to the story, granting Aidan Lynch supernatural powers to combat the violent cultists and Unworthy. But the Cenobite’s otherworldly puzzle box also has another purpose: it acts as the key to supernatural locks. On a handful of occasions, you’re presented with a slot that the Genesis Configuration must be adjusted to fit in order to progress the story. These puzzles require you to tweak each half of

• How to use Amazon Luna to play Star Wars Galactic Racer

  08-10-2026 13:47 via gamesradar.com
  
  Playing Star Wars Galactic Racer via Amazon Luna is very simple, but requires you to already have a Prime membership. Complicating matters further is that this title is only available on Luna as a streaming game using its cloud gaming services, and those are only available in certain countries, mostly in North America and Europe. But, if you meet all the requirements, it's a good way to try out Galactic Racer, effectively for free as part of your existing Prime subscription. Here's how it all wo

  I miss it when movie or book tie-in games looked at the canon and said, “Nah.” Sometimes, taking something respected, well-known, and so beloved and deciding to completely demolish everything that had existed in favour of making something wholly original and unique is my cup of orc bone tea. Shadow of War is a canon-breaking beast of an action RPG that, years later, I still play regularly. And right now, you can get the game and all of its DLC for under $5. Sauron won’t know wh

• Next Gears of War game won't "take nearly as long," The Coalition boss promises after 7 year gap

  After the seven year wait between Gears 5 and Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition studio head Mike Crump says we won't be waiting quite as long for what's next. Gears of War: E-Day is finally out after being announced back in June 2024, and by extension has ended the series longest hiatus. Gears 5 was released all the way back in 2019, following a three year wait between it and Gears 4 – which in turn only took three years to release after the launch of Gears of War Judgement.

• Unity CEO launching an AI you can use to reproduce games says doing so "does not make you Kojima"

  There's a new wrinkle in generative AI-assisted game development with Unity Spark, a tool specifically designed to make such practices easier. The idea is, if you have a notion about a game, you can bring up the chatbot, throw in a prompt, and it can help build a working prototype. But Unity wants to be clear - this isn't about producing games in the blink of an eye, and using it like that doesn't suddenly make you a clever dev.That's what Unity CEO Matt Bromberg told Game File, anyway, in his e

• Joe Russo explains why Doctor Doom is "very difficult to beat" in Avengers: Doomsday

  08-10-2026 12:31 via gamesradar.com
  
  Avengers: Doomsday sees MCU's best and brightest uniting to try to defeat Doctor Doom, but from everything that's been teased so far, it seems it will be their greatest challenge yet. We haven't seen much of the character, aside from a few post-credits nods, so as an audience, it's tricky to work out why he is such a formidable foe. Now director Joe Russo has shed some light on that in a new interview. "Doom’s magic is ancient," he told Fandango. "He is a very powerful character, as you ca
