Infinity Ward is trying to get players on board with reporting hackers by letting them know when their reports result in a cheater getting banned. It’s no secret that cheating is a huge problem in Warzone. Some players on PC say that they can’t go a single game without coming across a hacker, and the problem got so bad that last week, Warzone developer Infinity Ward made an official statement to warn players that a ban wave was coming, and soon....

With the days growing ever closer to the release of the DC Comics-inspired fighting game Injustice 2, NetherRealm Studios has decided to release the fourth part in its series of “Shattered Alliance” trailers to further suss out the title’s story, and this time around, it teases a potentially grim future for Flash. Of course, while it may be a possibility that the Fastest Man Alive meets his untimely demise in the plot for Injustice 2, with the fighting game centering around characters from the DC Universe comic books, even if he does die, there’s always the chance for revival....

NetherRealm Studios creative director and Mortal Kombat co-creator Ed Boon takes to Twitter to tease fans about the possibility that Injustice 2 is in development. As E3 2016 draws nearer, the evidence in favor of an Injustice 2 reveal at the event continues to mount. This time the possibility of the project is being teased by NetherRealm Studios creative director Ed Boon, who has changed his profile picture on Twitter to hint at the existence of Injustice 2....

Warning: this Inside No. 9 review contains spoilers. Having met his servants in ‘The Trial of Elizabeth Gadge’ and ‘The Harrowing’, it was only a matter of time before Old Scratch turned up on Inside No. 9. This series has always had one cloven hoof dipped in the fantasy-horror genre (‘Séance Time’, ‘Tempting Fate’, ‘Dead Line’, ‘Death Be Not Proud’, ‘The Stakeout’), so it’s ripe for a visit from the devil himself....

The launch of Batman: Arkham Knight is likely one that will go down as an infamous example of a title released before it was ready. Although the console versions of the game ran smoothly at launch, aside from a problem with populating the PS4 leaderboards which has since been fixed, the same cannot be said about the PC release. The port, which was not created by primary developer Rocksteady Studios, was plagued with a multitude of problems from day one, including framerate struggles, audio glitches, and frequent crashes....

Pokémon Sword & Shield were originally met with tremendous enthusiasm by the fans of Pokémon, due to the fact that they are the first mainline entries in the series that are appearing on a home console. The initial trailers showed the mystical Galar region that is based on Great Britain, with the new starter Pokémon all being met favorably by the fans. The hype for Pokémon Sword & Shield grew even further with the last Pokémon-themed Nintendo Direct, with the game featuring large open areas that are teeming with wild Pokémon, a new selection of multiplayer raid battles against giant Pokémon, the ability to transform your Pokémon into giants with the new Dynamax power, and a few new Pokémon that quickly inspired adoration from the fans, most notably Wooloo the sheep Pokémon....

Fall is almost here, which means a slew of the most anticipated games of 2020, holidays, and more are on their way. Halloween, for many, is the holiday to look forward to, and several games will be hosting events for said holiday. This halloween won’t be Red Dead Redemption 2’s first rodeo, at least in terms of online content. The assets of a recent leak seem rather legitimate, suggesting that Halloween is coming to Red Dead Online in a typical fashion....

Just like with the Isle of Armor before it, the Crown Tundra DLC for Pokemon Sword and Shield has upped the Pokemon count by a substantial margin. Most of these are returning favorites from generations past, as well as an assortment of new ones, but one Legendary Pokemon has been eluding even the most hardcore trainers, leading many to wonder if it even exists in the game at all. If you want to know the truth of whether Victini is in the Crown Tundra or not, we’ll get you up to speed....

Hazelight Studios` previous project, cooperative action A Way Out, was bright but something of a short linear adventure, which can be completed in about six hours. However, game director Josef Fares plans to bring on the table a longer and much more varied game next time. It Takes Two, the second project from Hazelight, will be twice the size of the previous game and will feature about 25 unique minigames to entertain its players....

Grand Theft Auto 6 is one of Rockstar’s most anticipated titles, but even though the last game was released all the way back in 2013, fans still don’t have any confirmation that the studio is even working on the next chapter in its flagship franchise. Many agree that it’s in the works, but until Rockstar says as much itself, anything can really happen. Despite that, multiple rumors have been circulating that have been addressed by supposed leakers, industry insiders, and even the performers who have brought some of the last game’s most memorable characters to life....

The best moments in games are often when the unexpected happens while exploring an open world, such as the sprawling city of Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto 5. However, those unexpected moments can sometimes come less from GTA series’ dynamically spawning cops, and instead from the random hiccups that occur as the game attempts to keep the world running. One player posted an experience on Reddit, showing what can happen when a bridge in Grand Theft Auto 5 decides it doesn’t want to be a path and instead stops a car dead in its tracks....

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition has finally been released, and it’s safe to say that these remasters don’t quite live up to their full potential. However, they do give gamers of a certain era an appealing excuse to revisit these revolutionary titles. Of course, for many GTA fans, properly revisiting these games means playing them with cheat codes enabled. As we’ve discussed in a previous look at the best video game cheat codes, the GTA games were really some of the last major titles to emphasize and celebrate cheat codes in such a clear way....

This article contains Halloween Ends spoilers. Michael Myers is dead. For realsies this time. Yes, we’ve seen the embodiment of pure evil, this personification of cruelty, the HUMAN VESSEL for what his own psychologist dubbed “the Devil’s Eyes,” die on screen before. He’s been shot, stabbed, and burned across multiple movies. In fact, all of the above occurred in the last one, Halloween Kills! But this time Michael is gone and he’s not coming back, at least in this current form....

The surprise launch of Halo Infinite‘s (mostly excellent) multiplayer mode was somewhat compromised by the game’s Battle Pass and XP systems which left some fans wondering if Infinite‘s developers were trying to softly encourage players to spend money on the shooter’s microtransactions. At launch, Halo Infinite only allowed you to acquire XP (which is used to unlock tiers and items on the Battle Pass via gameplay) through daily and weekly challenges....

After a several month delay, HBO’s spooky new limited run series Third Day has finally received a new release date. Split up into two chunks of three episodes apiece, the show premieres on September 14th on both HBO and HBO Max. The previous trailer for Third Day was uploaded back in April, a month before the expected launch, revealing that the series had been delayed with no new date besides a vague “Fall....

After 15 years of wandering around the video game prototype rabbit hole, Hidden Palace finally found the prototype for Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) and streamed it on Twitch for all the world to see on New Year’s Eve. Hidden Palace, a gaming community founded in 2005 with the goal of searching for video game development material and preserving it for future generations, wrote on its website that of all the prototypes it found, from Sonic 3 to even Crash Bandicoot, the prototype for Sonic 1 eluded searchers since the site’s inception....

Respawn’s Lead Engineer Jon Shiring details the development team’s findings from Titanfall 2’s recent weekend test, as well as what they will be testing in the upcoming beta. This past weekend Respawn Entertainment ran the first of its two planned beta tests for Titanfall 2. Today, the developer put up a blog post, which details what they learned from the first test, as well as what we can expect from the second test, which runs this coming weekend....

Being the first online multiplayer game in the Fallout franchise, Fallout 76 has various expectations from both developers and fans, and the quality of Bethesda’s first attempt at a non-single player Fallout experience is, no doubt, in question. However, Bethesda’s choice to avoid Steam is an interesting one, and could be the right move. Just over two months ago Bethesda announced that its most anticipated game of 2018, Fallout 76, would not launch on Steam, but would only be available on PC through Bethesda’s launcher....

It’s natural for anyone to see diminishing returns in their skills as time goes by, but Hitman’s Agent 47 can’t really afford something like this. Due to being an assassin, he’s got to be top-notch or risk his own life. 47 also had some character development earlier in the series but this has gone away over time. Both as a person and as an assassin, 47 has seen himself fall short as the timeline has progressed....

One of the most anticipated horror games of 2020 has sadly been delayed. Remothered: Broken Porcelain, the sequel to Remothered: Tormented Fathers, has been pushed back just one month after its original release date was announced. Back in the middle of June 2020, horror fans got a taste of what the Remothered sequel was going to be all about. Modus Games released a fantastically creepy new trailer, and fans of the genre were all about it....
