Destiny 2's Ace Of Spades Nerf Gun Is A Delightful Way To Remember A Great Character
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/destiny-2s-ace-of-spades-nerf-gun-is-a-delightful-way-to-remember-a-great-character/1100-6526746/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
A real-life Destiny-themed Nerf gun is nothing new, with Bungie having previously released a giant replica of the Gjallarhorn rocket launcher. But the upcoming Ace of Spades Nerf blaster feels decidedly different, both in terms of its usability and the fact that this particular gun choice resonates more deeply with the story of Destiny 2.Bungie recently sent me the Ace of Spades, which I've spent the last few days playing around with, much to the disdain and horror, respectively, of my two cats. Not having seen any dimensions listed for the blaster prior to it showing up at my door, I was shocked to open the shipping box: This thing is big. It's about 18 inches from the tip of the handle to the end of the barrel, which may not sound enormous for something you'd display on your shelf, but as a handgun you're actually going to hold and use, it's hard not to laugh at just how big it is when first seeing it. They don't call them hand cannons in Destiny for nothing, I guess.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ballerina-trailer-puts-anna-de-armas-center-stage-in-john-wick-universe/1100-6526742/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The first trailer for Ballerina, a spin-off of the John Wick franchise, has been released. Ana de Armas stars as Rooney, a Ruska Roma ballerina seeking revenge against hitmen responsible for her family's murder. The film is set to hit theaters on June 6, 2025.The storyline unfolds between John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum and John Wick Chapter 4, focusing on the character originally introduced in the third film, portrayed by Unity Phelan. The trailer emphasizes Rooney's brutal quest for vengeance, featuring action sequences where she uses an ice skate as a weapon and uses a fire hose against a flamethrower. Keanu Reeves returns as John Wick, and according to writer Shay Hatten, he plays a significant role in the film, and does appear in the new trailer above. "Wick is a real character, and not just kind of a one-piece cameo," Hatten told Collider (https://collider.com/ballerina-john-wick-cameo-shay-hatten-comments/). Additional cast members include Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, the late Lance Reddick, Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ballerina-trailer-puts-anna-de-armas-center-stage-in-john-wick-universe/1100-6526742/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/attack-on-titan-steelbook-editions/1100-6526622/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
At long last, the animated saga of Attack on Titan is over. The anime adaptation of the hit manga ended late last year follow multiple "final seasons," but that doesn't mean we've seen the last of the series.

Each steelbook cover features an elegant coat of arms themed after the season it adorns.

Ubisoft Workers In France Urged To Strike Over Return-To-Office Mandate

The Syndicat des Travailleurs et Travailleuses du Jeu Vidéo (STJV), the French game workers union, has called for Ubisoft workers to walk out (https://www.stjv.fr/en/2024/09/call-for-strike-for-all-french-ubisoft-entities-on-october-15-16-and-17-2024/) from October 15 to 17. This comes after a September 17 GamesIndustry.biz report (https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-targets-staff-to-be-in-the-office-at-least-three-days-a-week) that Ubisoft informed its 19,000 employees worldwide that they will need to work in the office three days a week. The start date for this policy remains unclear, but the union is mobilizing quickly in response.STJV has raised concerns over the impact this policy will have on employees, stating it was made "without any tangible justification or any consultation with the workers' representatives.""After more than five years of working efficiently in the current remote-work context, many of our colleagues have built or rebuilt their lives (family life, housing, parenthood, etc.) and simply cannot return to the previous working conditions," STJV wrote in a statement. "The consequence of its decision will be the loss of our colleagues' jobs, the disorganization of many game projects, and the drastic increase in psychosocial risks for those who remain."Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/ubisoft-workers-in-france-urged-to-strike-over-return-to-office-mandate/1100-6526740/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-next-jackbox-game-is-a-silly-take-on-family-feud/1100-6526726/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
A new entry in the Jackbox series launches in late October, but unlike the other games that were filled with various interactive experiences, The Jackbox Survey Scramble (https://www.gamespot.com/games/the-jackbox-survey-scramble/) is going in a Family Feud-like direction. Billed as a brand-new collection of survey-based games, The Jackbox Survey Scramble will launch for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, Amazon Fire TV, and Apple TV toward the end of October.The aim of the game is to think outside of the box and guess what the answers to surveys are. These are based on real surveys from across the globe, and include questions like, "In one word, what’s the cutest nickname for butts?" or, "In one word, what's the best sandwich topping?"In case you're wondering, the answer to both questions is "heavenly hams."Jackbox Games says that The Jackbox Survey Scramble is designed to offer a constantly updated experience, as each guess submitted is then sent to a database and inputted back into the game as an answer. There'll be four game modes, including:Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-next-jackbox-game-is-a-silly-take-on-family-feud/1100-6526726/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

Call Of Duty: Warzone Removes Several Popular Battle Royale Playlists
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-warzone-removes-several-popular-battle-royale-playlists/1100-6526749/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
Call of Duty: Warzone (https://www.gamespot.com/games/call-of-duty-warzone/) is currently in its sixth and final season with Modern Warfare 3 (https://www.gamespot.com/games/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-iii/), and the developer has announced that playlist options will now be limited until the battle royale integrates with Black Ops 6 later this year.Normally, Warzone playlists would rotate weekly, changing the offerings between a mix of solo, duo, trio, and quads. Sometimes all of the options were available, and other times playlists like duos or solos were temporarily removed for the week. Unfortunately, all of that changes now as Raven Software has revealed (https://x.com/RavenSoftware/status/1839349500017861077) that Warzone's playlists for Resurgence modes and standard battle royale are being consolidated, giving players fewer options to choose from.Instead of weekly playlist rotations, players can expect only solo and quad playlists for standard battle royale on Urzikstan, and Resurgence maps are limited to duo and quads. This means the only way to play Warzone in trios is to play the competitive Ranked Play mode, which is getting a shorter timeframe for the final season. Season 6 of Ranked Play ends on October 17.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/call-of-duty-warzone-removes-several-popular-battle-royale-playlists/1100-6526749/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

The Office Is Getting A Video Game Featuring Kevin's Chili And Schrute Bucks
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-office-is-getting-a-video-game-featuring-kevins-chili-and-schrute-bucks/1100-6526739/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
It's been over a decade since the American version of The Office (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/rainn-wilson-is-willing-to-appear-on-the-office-follow-up-series/1100-6523529/) came to an end, but fans have continuously made it one of the most popular comedy series available to stream. Now, Meta and NBCUniversal are offering players a chance to become the latest employees of Dunder Mifflin's Scranton office in a new VR game, The Office World.The Office World will be available on the Meta Horizon platform, and it lets players pick their desks at Dunder Mifflin before giving them minigames that were inspired by the show's nine-season run. The minigames and the office itself will also reference some of the show's best gags, including Kevin Malone's ill-fated chili and Dwight Schrute's stapler encased in Jello. Speaking of Dwight, players can earn Schrute Bucks to customize their desks and buy items from the company's vending machine.However, the game seems to be missing one of the key aspects that made The Office so entertaining: the characters. Viewers weren't watching the show just to see a wacky workplace comedy; they came because they loved the ensemble cast and the characters they were portraying. It would be hard for any game to recapture that, but The Office World does allow players to watch episodes of The Office through the Peacock app on Meta Quest. That will have to be enough for anyone who wants their fix of the show.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-office-is-getting-a-video-game-featuring-kevins-chili-and-schrute-bucks/1100-6526739/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/stylish-chrono-trigger-like-threads-of-time-announced-for-pc-and-xbox-series-x-s/1100-6526737/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
JRPG fans have been spoiled for choice lately with nostalgic remasters and retro-inspired games, and now, Threads of Time (https://www.gamespot.com/games/threads-of-time/) is entering the scene. Announced during the Xbox Showcase at the Tokyo Game Show (https://www.gamespot.com/gallery/xbox-tokyo-game-show-2024-all-the-biggest-announcements/2900-5799/), Threads of Time bills itself as a spiritual successor to Chrono Trigger and it has a similar aesthetic to Square Enix's HD-2D JRPGs like Live a Live and Octopath Traveler. It'll be launching for PC and Xbox Series X|S. Developed by Riyo Games, Threads of Time unfolds across multiple eras, from the age of dinosaurs to the far-flung future. Players will explore these distinctive periods and discover the threads that bind the ages together, uncovering a tale of interwoven fates and secrets. There's also a sinister plot lurking in the shadows, and you'll need to assemble a party to restore the ancient order of the Time Knights to put a stop to any nefarious trouble that's brewing.As for gameplay, there's a dynamic turn-based combat system and time-bending powers. You'll also be able to recruit allies from across various eras in time, and these companions can help you pull off powerful combo attacks against enemies. Threads of Time doesn't have a release date yet, but to make the wait for it a little easier, Xbox did announce that Square Enix's Trials of Mana and Legend of Mana (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/all-the-game-pass-titles-announced-at-xbox-tgs-2024-starcraft-remastered-legend-of-mana-and-more/1100-6526725/) will be available starting today through Game Pass.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/stylish-chrono-trigger-like-threads-of-time-announced-for-pc-and-xbox-series-x-s/1100-6526737/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds - Gaming Headset Leader Unveils First Wireless Earbuds
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/steelseries-arctis-gamebuds-gaming-headset-leader-unveils-first-wireless-earbuds/1100-6526721/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
SteelSeries, the manufacturer behind multiple of the best headsets for consoles and PC, is jumping into the nascent gaming earbuds market with the Arctis GameBuds (https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom_32094_gamespot?q=https://go.skimresources.com?id=225336X1707200&xs=1&xcust=subid_value&url=https://steelseries.com/arctisgamebuds&p=http://www.gamespot.com/feeds/mashup/?platform=5&type=3&event_type=click). Slated for release on October 29, these wireless gaming earbuds sport a 2.4GHz wireless connection with a compact dongle as well as Bluetooth with compatible devices. With the GameBuds, SteelSeries has sandwiched its speaker drivers inside tiny in-ear buds with active noise-canceling tech. SteelSeries Arctis GameBuds are available to preorder now for $160 at Best Buy (https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom_32094_gamespot?q=https://shop-links.co/1854741578870750274?u1=subid_value&p=http://www.gamespot.com/feeds/mashup/?platform=5&type=3&event_type=click). Preorder at Best Buy (https://clicks.trx-hub.com/xid/fandom_32094_gamespot?q=https://shop-links.co/1854741578870750274?u1=subid_value&p=https://www.gamespot.com/feeds/mashup/?platform=5&type=3&event_type=click) Like the manufacturer's range of wireless headsets, the Arctis GameBuds come in two different models: one geared toward Xbox and PC, and another for PlayStation and PC. The Xbox edition will work wirelessly with all platforms, including PlayStation consoles. The PS5 version supports all platforms except for Xbox. If you're unfamiliar with this trend, Microsoft has a custom wireless protocol that prevents non-officially licensed gear from syncing with Xbox consoles. PlayStation, meanwhile, uses a conventional wireless protocol, which allows some "Xbox" wireless headsets and earbuds to connect to PlayStation devices.
Horizon Zero Dawn's Price Just Doubled On PlayStation And PC
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/horizon-zero-dawns-price-on-psn-just-doubled/1100-6526738/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f
The price of Horizon Zero Dawn on the PlayStation Store has been quietly doubled following Sony's announcement of its PS5 remaster earlier this week.Spotted by MP1st, (https://mp1st.com/news/horizon-zero-dawn-psn-price-secretly-increased-by-sony-following-remastered-announcement) the digital version of Horizon Zero Dawn went from being $20 to now $40, regardless of region. At the moment, this price change affects both the PlayStation and PC versions (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1151640/Horizon_Zero_Dawn_Complete_Edition/). The game used to be part of the PS Plus PlayStation Hits lineup, but was removed earlier this year (https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4/comments/1chuoum/horizon_zero_dawn_is_leaving_ps_plus_later_this/) amid rumors of the PS5 remaster during that time.The remaster costs $50, and those who already own the game on PS4 and PC can upgrade to the PS5 version for $10. It seems like Sony wanted to avoid a situation where players would have gotten the remaster for cheaper. If players bought the digital version at the original $20 price point, then they would only have to pay a total of $30 to play the remaster instead of $50.Continue Reading at GameSpot (https://www.gamespot.com/articles/horizon-zero-dawns-price-on-psn-just-doubled/1100-6526738/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/)
