You'll get Black Panther, Okoye, Nakia, Erik Killmonger, Ulysses Klaue, and Everett K. Ross to play with;you can see more in the trailer below. 

Annihilation and Ex Machina director hearts Bioshock 

Alex Garland, the director behind Annihilation (out next week), has revealed his favorite games in a chat with PlayStation.Blog.

...or get hot and bothered by Pokemon GO's Valentine's Day event

Blink and you'll miss it, but from now until Thursday, gangs of Luvdisc - a water-type Pokemon - will be shoaling around in Pokemon Go's augmented reality. There'll also be more Chanseys to coo over, and both are worth three times the usual Stardust. 

Play 'Stranger Things meets Goonies meets Saturday morning cartoons' RPG Crossing Souls today 

Crossing Souls is out today, and the indie adventure will rocket you back to your childhood faster than a souped-up Delorean. Set in 1986, the game features a gang of misfit friends, a mysterious Duat Stone, and a bunch of ghosts - out on PC and PS4 today.
