Morphies Law was previously showcased as a Nintendo Switch exclusive. This was great for the console considering its rather shallow library of shooter titles. However, this did alienate other players out there that would never experience the quirky shooter. This might have been a good thing considering the game is now being reworked to address many of the flaws that plagued the original. Morphies Law Remorphed is now coming to PC and Nintendo Switch on July 30 for $19....

This Nancy Drew review contains spoilers. Nancy Drew Episode 8 Nancy Drew’s small town of Horseshoe Bay is so full of ghosts, spirits, clairvoyants, mediums and other supernatural-adjacent beings that it’s honestly becoming a bit surprising when we meet someone who doesn’t communicate with or get haunted by the dead in some way. (Sorry, I guess, to Carson Drew?) In “The Path of Shadows,” we learn that police chief E.O. McGinnis isn’t just aware of the weird stuff that happens all around town, he actually participates in it occasionally too....

British game development studio Ninja Theory has a promising year ahead of it as fans await the release of Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2, which created a lot of buzz when it was first announced for the newly revealed Xbox Series X at The Game Awards 2019. It seems it has been shoring up its staff to make the game as good as possible, given long-time Naughty Dog Environmental Artist Andrew Watkins recently updated his LinkedIn profile to reflect his two-month tenure as a Senior Environmental Artist at Ninja Theory....

NBA 2K16’s MyTeam mode will introduce new Dynamic player cards, whose value and attributes will fluctuate based on their real-world player’s performances. 2K Sports announced the new feature at Gamescom. However, executive producer Rob Jones was unable to shed more light on the cards with VideoGamer when asked how often these cards will be updated. “I’m not quite sure if it’s going to be on a day-to-day basis, but I do know that it’s going to be fairly regular....

With PAX West kicking off yesterday to loads of excitement, one of the most memorable reveals thus far has been the highly anticipated new gameplay footage for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. Though steeped in some controversy, from changing in-game genders to body types and decreasing the gameplay reveal to 15 minutes in length, CDPR has ignored the media, focusing instead on multiplayer possibilities and complete freedom to character creation....

The first trailer for Sony/Marvel’s Morbius dropped earlier today, and it features a curious nod to Marvel’s Spider-Man on PS4. In 2019, the already complicated relationship between Disney and Sony got even more complex. After leaving fans with the most tantalizing of cliffhangers via Spider-Man: Far From Home’s credit scene (beware, spoilers dead ahead) the two parties fell out. Since Sony owns the movie rights to Spidey and had been allowing Disney to share them for a short while, the studio was within its rights to take the web-slinger back....

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’s release is slowly creeping up on us, and to keep things ticking over, Activision has released a new trailer for the game that focuses on the story of main protagonist, Wolf. A fearsome warrior, Wolf owes much of his skills to the teachings of his master, the Owl. Despite having his arm lopped off, Wolf still manages to pack a punch thanks to a grappling hook-equipped prosthetic arm....

After countless rumours, the Nier Automata anime has now been officially confirmed. This announcement came with a new trailer, which can be watched below. A translation of its description states: “The stage is a far future where humanity is defeated by the moon in front of the overwhelming force of ‘mechanical life forms’ that aliens carry out. ‘2B’ belonging to the newly organised Android unit ‘YoRHa’ will throw themselves into a fierce battle to recapture the earth”....

Today Japanese developer Nippon Ichi Software announced that its president Sohei Niikawa has requested to resign from his position, a request that the company accepted. The reason for the resignation is mentioned by the press release simply as “personal reasons.” Niikawa-san has been at the helm of the prolific Japanese developer for a long time, and many fans likely remember him for his frequent public appearances wearing Prinny hats or even full outfits....

Take-Two has announced its entire release schedule for the current financial year, CEO Strauss Zelnick has said, meaning there won’t be any new games from Rockstar until at least April 2017. It also means that the leaked BioShock Collection, which was rated by the ESRB last month and other territories in the months preceding, may not be due to release any time soon, either. Instead, the publisher will only release five new games during its current financial year, including the previously-released Battleborn, plus this autumn’s Mafia 3, Civilization VI, WWE 2K17 and NBA 2K17....

Nuclear war experts aren’t so keen on the use of nukes in Fallout 76, as they are condemning how the game portrays nuclear weapons as a positive thing. In the Fallout universe, nuclear weapons have always played a key role. After all, the entire world has experienced a nuclear holocaust, causing all manner of technology to be lost and new, horrifically mutated creatures to be found. You could even nuke a town in Fallout 3, or launch your own nuclear weapon at either Caesar’s Legion or the New California Republic at the end of Fallout: New Vegas....

The RTX 3060 has big shoes to fill. The last-gen RTX 2060 brought Nvidia’s crown jewel features like real-time ray tracing and DLSS to a broadly affordable price point, while the value of the Pascal-era GTX 1060 means that it’s still the most popular graphics card in the world, according to the Steam Hardware Survey. What’s more, the RTX 3060 also has to differentiate itself from the recently-released (and well received) 3060 Ti, which is itself a cut-down RTX 3070 available at a much lower price point....

The Resident Evil 2 Remake was probably one of the things that surprised me most from E3 2018. It seemed like we’d never get confirmation on its development, let alone a release date. Honestly, it feels a bit odd also talking about the new NVIDIA line of RTX cards. The RTX 2070, RTX 2080, and RTX 2080Ti models are on their way, outperforming essentially everything that has come before them in the GTX line....

Oddworld: New ‘n’ Tasty has finally arrived on PlayStation Vita, 18 months after its original PS4 release. If you already own it on PS3 or PS4 you’ll be able to download it for free. Alternatively it’ll cost you £15.99. The PS Vita version remains largely faithful to the original PS4 version, Oddworld says, complete with the instant QuikSave and QuikLoad functionality found in the home console release, but with some tweaks made specifically for Sony’s handheld....

The nominations for the 91st Academy Awards have landed and as ever there are a few surprises, a few snubs and a few ‘yeah obviously’ nominations. Here’s a quick digest of the runners and riders as along with a few cheeky guesses and what we think might come up on top. The front runners in terms of sheer numbers were Roma and The Favourite, bagging 10 noms each, with both of them up for Best Picture and Best Director....

On Thursdays Game Rant typically holds a weekly multiplayer event where we all back away from the keyboards, pick up the controllers and play games rather than writing about them for a few hours. Typically this is harder to pull off than it sounds, so we’ll take a small group of players and try some Halo, Gears of War 2, Crackdown 2 or if we have more people Modern Warfare 2....

Minecraft will receive a character creator feature in its next update, and it is currently being trialled in the game’s beta build (via Eurogamer). Minecraft players have almost always had the ability to customise their look with skins, downloading duds like Perry the Platypus, Luffy from One Piece, and Ant Man, or making their own. Now, the new character creator offers even more customisation options for players without phasing out traditional skins....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare features the Gunsmith feature, which allows players to customize their weapons. One way that Modern Warfare players are able to customize their guns in the game is with weapon charms, which are unlocked in a variety of ways. Out of all the Modern Warfare weapon charms, though, one of the most popular is by far the Helpful Doge charm, which is epic-tier and quite challenging to unlock....

When Infinity Ward officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 last month, all we got was a logo and a lot of confused people wondering why it would announce a game released in 2009. Fortunately (or to the chagrin of Activision), there have since been numerous leaks revealing what’s ahead for the first-person shooter series. First, there’s a brand-new game mode called DMZ, an extraction-style mode similar to Escape From Tarkov....

Over half a year after launching on PS4 and Xbox One, Monster Hunter: World is coming to PC. It’s been a long wait, but early reports indicate that the PC version of Monster Hunter: World is well worth the extra time in development. Gaming rigs tend to be considerably more powerful than home consoles, and a recent comparison of Monster Hunter: World PC and PS4 load times point to much snappier experience....
