Casey Viner was sentenced to 15 months in prison and restricted from gaming activity for two years due to his involvement in the fatal Call of Duty swatting incident in 2017 (via NBC News). ‘Swatting’ is a prank phenomenon that will send a SWAT law enforcement unit to an unaware player while they are still in the game. The caller will falsely report an emergency at the address, so that an armed team will raid the house, as a joke or as a form of retaliation....

Warning: contains spoilers for Marcella season two episodes 1-7. While the penultimate episode of Marcella season two appeared to reveal the killer, it still left plenty of questions still to be answered. Here’s a run-down of the most pressing ahead of the finale… Why was Techy Mark spying on Marcella? Frustratingly, on discovering that Techy Mark had installed spyware on her laptop, Marcella didn’t ask him why (it’s not quite as clear-cut as, say, her discovering that he’d installed a camera in the women’s loo at work)....

Nintendo has announced the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe update 1.6.0, offering up a fresh batch of content based on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The update is available for download now, and includes a flashy Champion’s Tunic for pointy-eared protagonist Link, plus the Master Cycle Zero. Complementing the Zelda-themed goodies are Ancient Tires and the Paraglider. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s latest update also introduces a bunch of gameplay improvements, although Ninty didn’t specify them in the patch notes....

Fighting against the odds is usually not a good way to start a war against evil, and in Marvel’s Midnight Suns, that is the unfortunate situation you and your heroes will find themselves in. However, as you make headway against Lilith and Hydra, The Abbey will become more than just a safe refuge, allowing you to make upgrades to almost everything. If you wish to go down that path of self-improvement, then understanding just how to get Attack, Skill, and Heroic Essence in Marvel’s Midnight Suns is critical....

Although Marvel Comics has been around since 1939, its characters didn’t really penetrate the mainstream until the last 15 years or so. While the general public knew of DC villains like The Joker and Lex Luthor, the same probably couldn’t be said for the likes of Thanos or Galactus. However, with the Marvel Cinematic Universe being the most popular film franchise in the world right now, Marvel’s villains are starting to become a little more well known....

Nintendo has published a new Dread Report diving into new details for Metroid Dread, alongside a new trailer for Samus Aran’s next adventure. Volume 5 pays particular attention to the powers our favourite space bounty hunter will be able to wield in the upcoming adventure. Naturally, chief of these is her signature Arm Cannon, boasting several firing modes. For example, the standard Beam attack can be upgraded to change the beam’s power and spread, among other properties....

The first weekend of the Modern Warfare 2 beta has come to an end, with PlayStation players getting first dibs on the maps and game modes the title has to offer. Weekend two of the Modern Warfare 2 beta is getting ready to begin, adding PC players to the mix, and it’ll come with some key changes. Perhaps one of the most noticeable features of the beta has been the high footstep audio....

One of the chief complaints that so many players (and Kratos, probably, for that matter) had about God of War (2018) was just how much Atreus complained. A young child, he didn’t understand why his father expected better and more from him, or why he had to always do what Kratos told him to. He was generally just very whiney and that’s got a lot of people wondering ‘is Atreus still annoying in God of War Ragnarok?...

Players who have logged in to Call of Duty Modern Warfare since the most recent patch version 1.09 may have noticed something different about the game. What was missing was the signature crack of the 725 Shotgun’s twin barrels firing off at all corners of every map. Until recently, the 725 Shotgun was a ubiquitous sight in Modern Warfare’s online scene, second only to the M4A1 in popularity. However, after the most recent patch, anyone who logs in for a quick match will likely no longer see the prolific use of what was once the most broken weapon in Modern Warfare....

Nintendo dropped a bombshell on Switch users with the announcement of a remastered version The Legend Of Zelda Link’s Awakening at a recent direct. While the response from the fanbase was mixed, we can’t wait to jump back into one of the strangest entries in the series. So we’ve compiled a list of 10 Legend of Zelda Games That Need To Be Remastered After Link’s Awakening 10 10. Majora’s Mask Majora’s Mask got the 3DS remake treatment in 2015, which really wasn’t that long ago....

Contra fans are in for a treat, as a brand new collection of merchandise has been revealed by Limited Run Games. The news came by way of a tweet yesterday, which showed off some of the goodies that fans can expect. As you can see in the tweet above, the collection features all sorts of items that’ll help you survive the harsh landscapes of the jungle, including pins, keychains, skateboards, and, of course, limited edition games....

When LittleBigPlanet was first announced it seemed like a game with a limitless amount of possibilities. The promise contained within the title was so large it ended up being the game’s biggest downfall. No matter how many unique and creative ways the game could satisfy each gamer’s imagination it just never live up to the hype. With LittleBigPlanet 2, developer Media Molecule have set out to take all that was great about the original and employ a new motto (“A Platform for Games”) to their game design to take the idea of level creation and platforming to a whole new level....

With The Lord Of The Rings receiving a major TV adaptation in the near future, it’s safe to say, if the show is a success, the talent behind the camera are set to have a massive surge in their career prospects. Much like Game Of Thrones did for David Benioff and D.B Weiss, a show this potentially influential will allow the minds behind it to take their pick of new projects when it’s all wrapped up....

Mable & The Wood presents itself with a different take on the whole “hero of the realm” archetype. You play as the eponymous Mable, a young girl with red, flowing hair, who drags behind a large and heavy sword that she clearly can’t wield. Indeed, even though the hair style might match, Mable is certainly no JRPG protagonist, effortlessly twirling a sword that might as well be a metal surfboard on a pole....

Marvel Champions: The Card Game is not just the latest co-op Living Card Game from Fantasy Flight Games - it’s also the company’s first official collaboration with Marvel. To that end, it’s not only FFG’s entry point into the Marvel universe, but also a great entry point for players who’ve never encountered an LCG before. What Is A Living Card Game First, let’s get the Living Card Game idea out of the way....

In January 2017 Marvel announced there was a new Avengers game in the works. Fast-forward two years later to the E3 conference, where Square Enix finally gave gamers some teaser footage of the game and announced the release date for the game – May 15, 2020. It was also announced that each character in the game would have several different costume variants for players to choose from. There are the obvious classic variant costumes that will certainly be available, some obscure ones that fans are hoping get included, and those “other” costumes that fans hope stay buried in the past....
