Call of Duty Mobile has added a new Undead Siege Zombies mode with the start of Season 6: The Heat. This limited-time mode brings the return of the iconic zombie-slaying characters of Richtofen, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo. Undead Siege can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you're trying to attempt the mode with random teammates, so we have included some tips to help you survive.Undead Siege isn't the typical round-based Zombies map you'd expect with these fan-favorite Black Ops Zombies characters. It's not quite as complex and lengthy as Cold War's Outbreak, but it is more of an objective-based defend mode. In this mobile Zombies mode, you must survive either three or five nights of the undead, with the nights required to survive depending on the difficulty selected.There is a short tutorial you must complete before getting to select your difficulty, and that will give you the basics of how you'll spend your days and nights. Then you'll have the choice of a casual mode that requires you to survive three nights, or you can challenge yourself to five nights for better rewards.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Tencent's stock has taken a dip after a state-run news agency in China said video games are like "spiritual opium" or "electronic drugs." As reported by WSJ and Bloomberg, Tencent's stock fell about 11% after The Economic Information Daily ran an article blasting gaming in reference to a student who said he played Tencent's game Honor of Kings eight hours a day.The Economic Information Daily is owned by Xinhua News Agency, a government-controlled news agency that is very influential in China. The article calling for stricter regulations on gaming in China may have caused investors to panic, resulting in the drop in stock price. The online version of the article was pulled, possibly due to the harsh comparisons."The word choice of spiritual opium is especially harsh, it would be surprising if the regulators won't do anything about this," Ke Yan, a Singapore-based analyst with DZT Research, told Bloomberg.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Marvel's What If…? head writer AC Bradley has told IGN that, inadvertently, when cooking up plot points for the animated multiverse anthology, he accidentally came up with half of the storylines that will be used in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. During a brief interview, Bradley was asked to share how the animated show fits into the greater Marvel Cinematic Universe--and he immediately turned to this overlap.However, for obvious reasons, he couldn't discuss this much other than, yes, Marvel really had to reject some of his story ideas. "I'm going to stay away from that question," Bradley told IGN. "So I stay away from Mr. James Gunn and his brilliance and his work, [but] I did go home after that day and cracked open a beer and be like, 'Well, that's going to be an amazing movie but now I gotta go back to the drawing board.'"Further confusing these intersections is another revelation Bradley recently shared: Everything that happens in What If…? is MCU canon. What that exactly means still isn't quite known, but if Bradley came up with the same exact plotlines we'll be seeing in another MCU movie, then it bodes well for the series being true to the universe.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Actor Giancarlo Esposito (The Mandalorian, Breaking Bad) has shared with local news outlets in Raleigh, North Carolina during GalaxyCon Raleigh that Season 3 of The Mandalorian will begin shooting soon. WRAL spoke briefly with Esposito who was otherwise tight-lipped on details."They finished shooting Boba Fett and soon they will start on Season 3 [of The Mandalorian]," said Esposito. Acknowledging that Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal is currently in Canada filming the HBO show The Last of Us, Esposito added that because Pascal's character is always wearing a helmet, "We never have to wait on Pedro."But with The Mandalorian removing his helmet at the end of Season 2, many fans have speculated we'll be seeing more of Pascal's face. Esposito said that he "can't speak to that… I know he'd love to be more off the helmet, but his job is to be in the helmet. That's the deal." Aside from that, Esposito confirmed that we'd be seeing more of his character Moff Gideon--though, again, was not forthcoming with plot information.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

A new Nintendo-branded board game has been announced: The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition. The board game is available now and lets two-to-four players journey through the Mushroom Kingdom as Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi.The Game of Life: Super Mario Edition shares the same wheel spin mechanic as the regular Game of Life, but that's where the similarities stop.

Players will battle each other in small mini-games like Rock, Paper, Scissors and Thumb Wars in order to win coins, which can be used to buy stars.Gallery The stars give players one additional point on top of their spin total when facing off against Bowser at the end of the game.

The next two downloadable characters are finally on their way to Street Fighter V on August 16, as Oro and Akira were fully detailed during the SFV Summer Update.Oro once again employs the one-handed fighting style from his Street Fighter III days, though instead of tying up one of his arms, he fights while holding a turtle. He can make objects float with his mind with Tengu Midair Stone and use them against the opponent, shoot fireballs from his fingers with Nichirin Shoi and V-Skill 1 Onibi, and grab opponents for powerful throws after activating Manrikitan.Akira, meanwhile, plays very similarly to her Rival Schools iteration. She has access to energy blasts that extend from her arms, air combos that juggle opponents while jumping, and can call on the aid of fellow Rival Schools character--and her brother--Daigo. Akira also receives her own stage, the Rival Riverside, which features her teammates from the Rival Schools games, Edge and Gan.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Who do you kill? Why do you kill them? These are the kinds of tough questions only storytellers can ask without getting arrested, and they're exactly the kinds of questions James Gunn had to wrestle with while writing The Suicide Squad, which he talks about in a new interview on the official DC Comics blog. Don't worry--there are no spoilers to be had here."There were a certain number of characters that I knew were going to die from the time I put them in the movie," Gunn said. "When I first pitched this idea to Warner Bros., I went into [Warner Bros. Film Chairman] Toby Emmerich's office and I had made copies or made photos of every single character and I had them all on a wall because it's a lot of characters. To throw, like, Mongal at Toby Emmerich can be really confusing. Going through them in that way, I knew some characters were going to die early and then other characters died as I told the story.""Some things happened very organically. It was really about what does the story need at this point. How does it work? How do we take a turn here that's unexpected?" Gunn continued. "That manifests in a number of ways, with character choice being the starting point.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
