The Call of Duty: WW2 Zombies trailer that debuted at San Diego Comic-Con last week was an incredibly creepy affair. With that in mind, it comes as little surprise that Call of Duty: WW2 developer Sledgehammer Games is hoping to make its take on Zombies the most frightening version of the game mode ever. As Call of Duty: WW2 Zombies includes horror movie star Udo Kier, Doctor Who actor David Tennant and many other high profile faces, it’s good to see that their talent is being put to good use. P

Now, a new paper published in the quarterly, peer-reviewed neuroscience journal Brain Imaging and Behavior claims that hardcore players of violent video games are not emotionally desensitized. The first study found that players averaged 4.9 hours violent gameplay per day, while the second study averaged 4.6 hours daily play. The key finding, though, is that this effect wasn’t different between the groups, as the violent video game players elicited similar neural sensitivity to the emotional pict

Despite still being in early access, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is already one of the biggest gaming success stories of 2017. For those unfamiliar with Twitch Prime, it’s an added benefit to an Amazon Prime subscription that was introduced when the retail giant bought out Twitch in 2014. Last month, one of the bonuses being offered up was the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds‘ Twitch Prime set, which is an in-game costume featuring an exclusive t-shirt, jeans, and balaclava. At present, the Twitc

The developer Behaviour Interactive has revealed the latest DLC package for its 4v1 horror game Dead by Daylight by releasing a brand new trailer showcasing the new content yesterday. The new killer for Dead by Daylight is dubbed The Huntress, a seemingly unhinged frontierswoman who uses throwing axes as her weapon of choice. There are hopes that The Huntress’ throwing axes might be a potent counter to the strategy of pallet looping. There are already several effective counters to this strategy,

When God of War releases on PS4 next year, it will represent a significant departure from the other games in the series. As the game shakes the series up so much, it wouldn’t make sense for developer Sony Santa Monica to just throw that all away after one title. In addition to keeping these features, though, there are a lot of other areas that Sony Santa Monica could build upon with future God of War games. For example, the new God of War is not open-world, although it does provide players with

Those playing the Destiny 2 beta got their hands on the game’s opening story mission, called Homecoming. Many players were annoyed—or even worse, some even got stuck—at a section of the mission near its conclusion. However, fans will be relieved to know that section has been fixed and made easier in the launch version of Destiny 2. The part of the mission in question is the turbine room near the end of Homecoming. Destiny 2 releases September 6 on PS4 and Xbox One, with a later October 24 launch

E3 2017 finally delivered more news on Sony Santa Monica’s next God of War game, a title that had previously gone dark after its announcement at the previous year’s E3. In a recent interview, God of War director Cory Barlog provided more insight into some of the design decisions the team made including the new camera angle and the importance of the new axe weapon. According to Barlog, the camera issue facing this new God of War proved to be a contentious one between himself and the rest of the d

There’s only a couple of months away before Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite hits shelves, and new information about the game has surfaced today in the form of an official ESRB rating. While the T rating was expected, what proved to be an entertaining surprise was the ESRB’s rating summary of the fighting game as it reveals that a character will be chugging alcoholic drinks mid-match. The description indicates that the character is male (which rules out Captain Marvel), but additional details are sca

Bandai Namco has delayed sign-ups for the highly anticipated Dragon Ball FighterZ Closed Beta. When Dragon Ball FighterZ producer Tomoko Hiroki was brought on-stage during EVO 2017, fans of the game were expecting something special. Fighting games don’t typically have Destiny-size betas, but with Dragon Ball FighterZ things might change. Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite just happens to launch the day after the Dragon Ball FighterZ Closed Beta ends, September 19. It seems just as likely that Bandai Na

But when the event was hit with severe service problems and major technical issues, it was deemed a failure. Niantic CEO John Hanke has finally stepped forward to discuss the circumstances surrounding Pokemon GO Fest. According to Hanke, technical issues with Pokemon GO software “caused client crashes” and interfered with some users’ gameplay. In addition to technical issues within the game, Hanke stated that certain network providers are to blame. “A more protracted problem was caused by oversa

Friday the 13th developer Illfonic responded to criticism today by stating that the studio’s support for the game has only increased. However, Illfonic deemed the claims that it had split development resources away from Friday the 13th incorrect and that support for the game was only increasing. Here’s a portion of the statement released by Illfonic head Charles Brungardt:“Dead Alliance was started way before Friday the 13th: The Game. https://t.co/0SDet1xnns — Friday the 13th Game (@Friday13thG

Niantic has now clarified how much longer Pokemon GO fans will be able to catch those two, as well as when they can expect to grab the legendary Moltres and Zapdos. According to the studio, Articuno can still be found in raids until Monday, July 31st, which means that aspiring Pokemon Masters still have some time to add it to their arsenal in Pokemon GO. Battle Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos in Raid Battles around the world (Articuno: now to 7/31, Moltres: 7/31–8/7, Zapdos: 8/7–8/14)! Ho-Oh would

Late Friday night/early Saturday morning, Wal-Mart went live with SNES Classic pre-orders, the first major retailer to do so. There was no fanfare and no official announcement, but that didn’t matter; the SNES Classic pre-orders sold out in less than an hour. Turns out, Wal-Mart did not intend to put its SNES Classic pre-orders live and the retailer doesn’t yet know what exactly happened. And because the sale was not planned or prepared for, Wal-Mart has had to cancel many SNES Classic pre-order

During San Diego Comic-Con 2017, the American collectible manufacturer NECA (AKA the National Entertainment Collectibles Association) officially declared a partnership with Sony Interactive Entertainment‘s Santa Monica Studio to create an action figure based on Kratos, the protagonist from the forthcoming PlayStation 4-exclusive God of War. As far as its technical qualities are concerned, the Kratos toy will stand at seven inches tall, it will have 30 different points of articulation, and it wil

The newest Hearthstone expansion, Knights of the Frozen Throne, is just a month away, and Blizzard has started teasing the game’s new legendary cards through Twitter. As of now, the Hearthstone legendary cards unveiled so far are Prince Keleseth, Prince Taldaram, and Blood-Queen Lana’thel. The Lich King is one of its most popular villains, and Knights of the Frozen Throne is based on his legacy, but the Hearthstone expansion manages to add its own twist. Knights of the Frozen Throne will be comp

Shortly following an unsanctioned leak of the Xbox Games with Gold for August 2017, Microsoft has now officially unveiled exactly which titles will become available for free next month to premium subscribers of the last-generation console and current-era system’s online services. As usual, the company has now given gaming fans four games to look forward to on the platforms, which will include two titles for Xbox One and two releases for Xbox 360. Of course, Xbox One fans can also receive these t

Despite the fact that PC owners have been able to play The Sims 4 since its release in 2014, it would appear that the title is preparing to make the leap to consoles this year – or at the very least Microsoft’s Xbox One. A listing for the game on Xbox One has appeared in the Microsoft Store, alongside a release date of November 17, 2017. The seemingly imminent arrival of The Sims 4 on Xbox isn’t a lock yet, as Electronic Arts has yet to officially announce the game for additional platforms. Add

Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped the stealth-action franchise fan and artist BossLogic (AKA Kode) from envisioning who they believe would be perfect for the role of Snake, as their latest creation has put Captain America‘s Chris Evans in a fake movie poster depicting the character. Considering the fact that the above representation of Chris Evans as Snake lacks the eye-patch present on the character in both Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, one c

Minecraft is available on just about every platform under the sun, but it’s one of those games that seems right at home on the Nintendo Switch. The latest update to Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch allows the game to output at a resolution of 1080p when it’s docked with a television set. This isn’t the only tweak that the latest update makes to the game. Minecraft launched all the way back in 2011, but it’s only been available for the Switch since May 2017. Minecraft for the Nintendo Switch is
