This Mission: Impossible 7 article contains spoilers for the most recent entry, Fallout. The New Year has begun, but we’re still a bit nostalgic for 2018. After all, it’s not any year that Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, and Paramount Pictures gift-wrap for you one of the finest action moives of the decade. In fact, to call last year’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout, the sixth entry in the spy games led by the indestructible Ethan Hunt, a popcorn movie is an understatement....

Modern Warfare 2 has received its first update – which will smooth out any bugs ahead of the full release on October 28. However, some gamers on PlayStation are complaining that since downloading the update, they cannot get into the Modern Warfare 2 campaign. This is a shame, as the campaign mode – bar a few blips – is a very solid entry in the Call of Duty series. You can also earn a ton of MW2 campaign rewards, not to mention crack a handful of safes for extra bonuses....

Well it sure isn’t fun getting excited for nothing. Just yesterday we brought you news that we had received a Modern Warfare 3 care package from Activision teasing a major announcement. Whatever the announcement was supposed to be, the appearance of one of the series’ villains and an online countdown led us to believe that it had something to do with a Call of Duty title. Today, the publisher has come out and denied any connection to either the dog tags or the website FindMakarov....

The recent Mortal Kombat reboot turned out to be one of the most enjoyable, and surprisingly deep, fighting game titles available on the current console generation. Ditching 3D environments, and subsequently sidestepping, Mortal Kombat thrived on 90s nostalgia - delivering plenty of MK fan service as well as competent and fast-paced fighting action. But, despite an enormous roster of twenty-seven kombatants, NetherRealm Studios is preparing to unveil plenty of DLC for the title - starting with the highly-anticipated Kitanta glitch-turned-new fighter, Skarlet, as well as “Klassic” skins for cyborg assassins Cyrax and Sektor, available on June 21st....

This Mr. Robot review contains spoilers. Mr. Robot Season 4 Episode 9 After nearly a half dozen episodes of Mr. Robot Season 4 spinning in place, “Conflict” finally gives us the promised showdown between Elliot and Whiterose that we’ve all been waiting for. The result? The best and most satisfying episode of the season to date. For the past few weeks, Mr. Robot has done pretty much everything but tell the story the season premiere initially promised....

The Mutant Year Zero: Road To Eden expansion Seed Of Evil may not have been as big of an update as fans were hoping, but it does include one exceptionally cool new character: Big Kahn. Big Kahn is the newest stalker to join Dux, Bormin, Selma, Magnus, and Farrow on their journey to find the missing Elder and hold him accountable for his past sins. Big Kahn is a powerful new character and has a unique skill tree among the stalkers that even comes with a pair of brand new abilities....

Call of Duty: Black Ops is an indie title that many gamers have probably never heard of (not), but the few individuals who own the game will probably be ecstatic to learn that Activision and Treyarch will be releasing a brand new map pack for it. The new map pack is titled Annihilation and it features a total of five new maps for players to run around on and shoot each other — or zombies....

A couple of weeks ago, it was reported that the WB Games Montreal Batman game would be a reboot that would kick off a shared DC Games Universe. Now the same person that broke that news has suggested that the new Batman game will potentially feature a massive open world. According to James Sigfield of Geeks WorldWide, WB Games Montreal was once developing a Damian Wayne Batman game that was scrapped....

A new PC strategy game based on Battlestar Galactica, that sci-fi TV show at least one of your friends won’t stop going on about, is coming out this summer. Called Battlestar Galactica Deadlock, it’s set during the First Cylon War. It’s a 3D strategy game where you must command the human Colonial Fleet and defend against the Cylons, aggressive robots that mankind created only to have them turn against us (as per usual)....

While the first two Gears of War games featured beautiful graphics, tight controls, and ridiculously burly dudes carving up aliens with chainsaw bayonets, they weren’t exactly what anyone lacking a serious erotic dysfunction would call sexy. However, according to these new screens, that’s something that Gears of War 3 is looking to remedy. For the most part, none of the new pics are anything we haven’t really seen before. The landscape pieces showcase the broken and crumbling metropolises of Sera and the old thrashball arena while some of the others put the new lambent Locusts front and center, displaying what are undoubtedly their glowing weak points....

Bethesda has released a new trailer for Redfall, the upcoming vampire shooter from Arkane Austin, showing off its island setting. Check out the new trailer below: The description reads: “Slay alone or squad up for up to 4 player co-op in Redfall, an open-world story-driven FPS from the creators of Dishonored and Prey. The town of Redfall is under siege by a legion of vampires who have cut the island off from the outside world....

Apart from encountering players who are automatically running into walls, going AFK also causes another frustrating issue. Players going AFK for extended periods of time does not help New World server queues. If you purchased the game at launch, you will know just how lengthy those server queues can be. While the developer is creating new servers to reduce long wait times, booting people who are not actually playing the game could help the situation....

The Blunderbuss is positioned as a potent close-to-mid range weapon that provides high mobility as well. With two distinct playstyles, players can choose how they want to approach any given situation with some versatility. The Containment tree is all about giving yourself the crowd control you need to take advantage of the battlefield. Net Shot helps to slow down enemies, while Claw Shot closes the distance with any unfortunate soul that gets caught, which then makes it the perfect time to unleash Azoth Shaprnel Blast to deal big damage....

Sure, the DSi XL is coming in a few short months, but why not start talking about a true successor to Nintendo’s immensely popular handheld. Satoru Iwata has spilled some beans on the next DS in an interview with Asashi Shimbun newspaper, detailing what Nintendo has planned for the DS’ successor. Iwata wouldn’t talk specifics on a release date, but at least we know what to expect. This essentially confirms that the new DS will feature motion control, just like their Wii....

July is winding down, and so is summer gaming. There have been some big Steam sales, free games on Epic Game Store, and a bunch of new games to play. I hope you’ve had a lot of quality gaming time! Especially those of you who are starting school again soon. Before you head off to play some games, take a minute to get caught up on the biggest PC gaming news stories with this week’s News Breach!...

Happy long weekend, those of you reading in the United States! A lot of people like to use the three-day holiday to go camping, but I suspect you (like many of us) will be using that extra time to play some PC games. There’s a lot that you can play this weekend, too. From Remedy’s new action-packed shooter Control to something a little bit slower like Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey (which we have some handy guides for, should you be in need), there are plenty of games you can easily spend three days with....

Players of NieR will be able to obtain The Engine Blade, as used by FF15’s Noctis, and equip it for use by protagonist 2B.

Splatoon’s Splatfest’s have a history of asking the tough questions (cats or dogs, money or love, and the dreaded mayo or ketchup). But the next Splatfest is presenting what might be the hardest choice of all: family or friends? The announcement was made on Twitter, and teases a Splatfest that will take place over the first weekend in January. Splatoon 2 players are being asked to declare if they’d rather spend the holidays with friends or family....
