The infamous long neck glitch has made its way into the Star Wars Battlefront 2 multiplayer beta. Past DICE games like Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 have featured the glitch, and fueled a few memes along the way. While video game glitches run the gamut from frustrating to amusing, the ones that tend to get the most coverage are those that generate a few laughs. In fact, many bugs and glitches eventually become their own self-contained jokes, fueling copycats and memes for several years....

As YouTube stars the Fine Bros. and media giant Sony face fury over plans to trademark popular video modes, we discuss exactly why these steps would be bad for gaming. The history of video games is littered with a wide variety of gaming lawsuits and legal battles. Back in the 1980s, Nintendo entered into a dogged legal battle with Universal Studios over Donkey Kong’s likeness to movie monster King Kong. More recently, former Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega decided to take on Activision over the use of his likeness in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, citing “blatant misuse, unlawful exploitation, and misappropriation for economic gain....

Gaming fans create a live-action film centering around Grand Theft Auto 5 in virtual reality, and it stars one of the title’s main characters, Trevor Philips. The Grand Theft Auto franchise is without a doubt one of the most famous — and infamous — video game series in the history of the medium, as its over-the-top nature has been parodied and referenced in innumerable pieces of pop culture. For instance, the open world crime game has been given nods in films like The Simpsons Movie wherein Homer plays an arcade stand-up machine called Grand Theft Walrus, and it even cropped up in a Chappelle’s Show sketch which has Dave Chappelle mimicking and having fun with the Rockstar Games release’s ideas of general lawlessness....

The history of the Grand Theft Auto series is one that is marked by incredible innovation and mountains of controversy. The franchise has revolutionized the definition of an open-world game multiple times over ever since Grand Theft Auto 3 came out twenty years ago, and it’s been built up as a titan of the industry. With great success, however, has come tremendous controversy surrounding the content of the games. The Grand Theft Auto games are violent, almost every person that knows about video games can recognize that....

Just below, we’ve covered some of the top mistakes that new players make when playing GreedFall, and cover exactly how you can avoid these....

A gym teacher has lost his job as a result of playing Fortnite with his students. According to a report from the New York Post, 29-year-old Brett Belsky, who taught at M.S. 890K in Brooklyn, New York, decided to engage his class in a short session of the popular video game after overhearing their chatter about Xbox games in January last year. Having scribbled his ID, TheBelsky, on the board, he told the students that he would play a few games with them on the condition that they did well in class....

Alongside the highly anticipated re-release of Halo 3 on PC, fans of the game were also gifted a new skull to unlock. The Acrophobia skull allows players to fly around the game’s many maps unrestricted by simply holding the jump button. This has understandably been a fan favorite addition, but it seems it is going away soon. For those that don’t know, Halo 3 features a variety of skulls which modify the gameplay in some way....

One of the bigger complaints from Marvel’s Avengers beta was that loot was invisible. Today, we finally know why picking up and equipping loot doesn’t have any cosmetic effect on your character. During any one of the 80 co-op missions in the game, you have the chance to pick up loot boxes to upgrade your character. Typically, we think of loot boxes as having items that are not only a boost to the actual equipment that you have—armor, weapons, etc—but also look cool....

This is Captain Britain from the Excalibur comics....

One of those fans appears to be High School of the Dead manga artist Shoji Sato, who drew up a small comic for a Dragon Age magazine, featuring a great poster image....

There’s a certain charm about protagonists whose backgrounds are shrouded in mystery. The Hitman series has one of these in Agent 47, who primarily serves as the playable character whom gamers control to carry out assassination contracts. Some believe the extent to humanizing this character has been through a number of quotes, but the earlier games actually did carve out a fleshed-out profile for him. These are usually mentioned in passing, though, which means they are generally unknown to many fans....

Horizon Zero Dawn saw tremendous success when first released onto the PlayStation platform, and the surprising announcement of a PC port left PC players excited to get their hands on Guerrilla Games’ open world gem.

WB Games recently confirmed that Mortal Kombat 11 has sold over 12 million copies worldwide so far.
