2. Test your Breakpoint with the new Ghost Recon game
Do you want to fight Jon Bernthal? The actor plays a former Ghost gone Rogue, and you go head-to-head with him Ghost Recon Breakpoint. The campaign (which offers four-player co-op) leaves you on a remote island owned by a billionaire entrepreneur - freely roam it to uncover the mystery behind the isle, its unique biomes, and the heavily armed forces on it trying to kill you. If the campaign isn't your bag, try out the completely revamped PvP mode, Ghost War, which took notes from today's top battle royale titles. Fully customize your Ghost and enjoy a new shared progression feature that will allow you to take the same character through multiplayer and campaign, with all skill tree upgrades carrying over between the modes. Whatever path you take, Ghost Recon Breakpoint will take you on a wild ride.

3. Two horror giants combine their superpowers for In the Tall Grass on Netflix
Stephen King is a master storyteller and has passed down his skills to his author son, Joe Hill. The two of them combined their superpowers for the short story In the Tall Grass in 2012, and now Netflix has joined the party with a new movie adaptation. The story starts out reassuringly simple, a couple pauses their road trip by a field, hear a child calling somewhere in the grass, and go to help. If you think this act of kindness ends well for anyone, you probably haven't read a Stephen King story before. The Conjuring's Patrick Wilson stars, and it's directed by Splice's Vincenzo Natali.

4. Joker’s here to put a grimace on your face
Joaquin Phoenix playing the Joker is a match made in heaven. The Oscar nominated actor has a history of played deceitful characters with villainous tendencies, making him the perfect fit for a Joker who’s only just growing into his terrifying make-up. Joker depicts the clown-for-hire Arthur Fleck’s terrifying transformation into the Batman villain we all fear today. Phoenix’s performance will no doubt earn him another Oscar nod - if not a win - while the movie itself is expected to be a surprising awards winner. Everyone will be talking about this one after it’s release, and you won’t want to be spoiled, so head over to the cinemas ASAP!
