Doctor Who and Game of Thrones have several things in common, including the fact that they’re two of the best TV series of all time, at least in my opinion. I don’t know about you, but despite absolutely loving both shows, I’ve never thought about the possibility of a crossover until earlier today when it was announced that a certain actress from Game of Thrones will soon be making an appearance on Doctor Who. The actress in question is none other than Maisie Williams (aka Arya Stark) who surprised quite a few people today by announcing that she will star in the next season of Doctor Who, which began filming back in January and is schedule to air later this year.

Meanwhile, Game of Thrones season 5 is now only two weeks away, so expect to see miss Williams as Arya Stark again very soon. Later this year though, we’ll be able to see her in a very different setting and I, for one, am counting down the days. We’re not sure what kind of role Williams will be playing in Doctor Who, although producer Steven Moffat did tease that she will “will challenge the Doctor in very unexpected ways.” That’s not exactly much to go on, but it definitely sounds intriguing. I think it might be a bit of a stretch to hope that the Game of Thrones actress could be the Doctor’s newest companion, but a guy can dream, can’t he? In any case, let’s hope that Arya Stark will be cast in a role that does her justice because she is really an amazing young actress.

Earlier this month, HBO revealed that Game of Thrones season 5 will air at the same time everywhere in the world, an action that’s meant to discourage people outside the US from pirating the show. As for an actual crossover between Game of Thrones and Doctor Who, we may have to wait a while until something like that happens (if ever), but this is certainly a step in the right direction.

Although George has many hobbies, he likes nothing more than to play around with cameras and other photography equipment.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.

This author has consistently praised the realistic portrayal of tennis in TopSpin 4. After more than a decade, we are thrilled to witness the release of TopSpin 2K25, which expands upon the success of its renowned predecessor. This gameplay video provides a comprehensive overview of the features discussed in our recent preview while also incorporating relevant footage to enhance understanding.

The series’ swing system sets it apart from arcade-style games like Virtua Tennis, as it requires players to charge up their shots in a different way. In order to succeed, timing is crucial, and fortunately, a new meter above your player will assist you in achieving that. Surfaces have their own distinct characteristics, such as clay, where you’ll experience a noticeable amount of sliding.

The game ensures that every player has a distinct set of animations, adding a touch of individuality to each competitor. The courts, found in all Grand Slams, possess a remarkable amount of individuality and charm. It is mentioned in the video that with each in-game season, players can expect a plethora of additional content, such as animation packs. This indicates that there will be plenty to anticipate even after the game’s initial release.
