The online PC game retailer GOG is celebrating its 10th anniversary by giving away a free game to anyone who wants it. Between now and October 6, you can head over to GOG and get a free copy of Shadow Warrior 2--a game that normally sells for $40. To take advantage of the deal, all you need is a free GOG account. You can get the free game here.The giveaway is the result of a poll the company ran earlier in the week that let customers vote on which game would be free to download. The vote was between Shadow Warrior 2, Firewatch, and Superhot. If you were hoping to get one of the other games for free, all is not lost; for a limited time, they're available at sizable discounts. You can get Firewatch for 75% off ($5) and Superhot for half price ($12.50).Shadow Warrior 2 is a mystical first-person action game in which you play as an assassin-for-hire named Lo Wang. One thing that's unusual about this game is that Wang is as quick with a penis joke as he is with a gun. In addition to fast-paced sword and firearm combat, this game is drenched in juvenile humor that may appeal to you or repel you, depending on how funny you find jokes about bodily functions and genitals.The game can be played solo or with up to three friends online. In GameSpot's 8/10 Shadow Warrior 2 review, Mat Paget was less fond of the humor than of the combat. He wrote, "Thankfully for Shadow Warrior 2, it's still a great game to play. Picking off enemies one-by-one with a railgun, demolishing them point-blank with a shotgun, and ripping through them with a chainsaw are just a few of the exciting moments that make it hard to put down."If that sounds like your kind of game, make sure to grab it before it goes back to $40 on October 6.Info from Gamespot.com

Blizzard has announced a new sculpture of Snowball, the cute little robot who assists Mei in Overwatch. The sculpture will cost you, but it comes with plenty of cool features too.One of the the sculpture's coolest features is that it can actually float. When Snowball is powered on, magnets in its based activate and cause the little robot to float into the air. Snowball will emote and express different emotions as well, such as happiness, confusion, and love. A USB port in the base allows you to charge you cell phone with the robot's energy, much how Snowball powered Mei's tech in the hero's animated short.Snowball measures 4.25" x 3" and weighs .6 lbs / 270grams and the base measures 6" x 1.75" and weighs 1.3 lbs / 600 grams. The magnets are fairly powerful, so Blizzard advises you only buy the sculpture if you're 15-years-old or older. This isn't a toy for a kid. You can buy Snowball right now from Blizzard's Store for $175.Overwatch is about to have it's third rendition of the game's Halloween Terror event. Starting on October 9, Halloween Terror offers new Legendary skins in special limited time loot boxes, which can also be purchased for 3,000 credits. We've already seen new Halloween-themed skins for Doomfist and Moira. Halloween Terror skins from previous years will be sold at a discount.Halloween Terror's PvE mode, Junkenstein's Revenge is also returning. It will continue the story of a group of heroes--like the Alchemist (Ana), the Gunslinger (McCree), the Archer (Hanzo), the Soldier (Solder 76), the Countess (Widowmaker), the Swordsman (Genji), the Monk (Zenyatta), and the Viking (Torbjorn)--trying to stop Dr. Junkenstein (Junkrat) and the Witch of the Wilds (Mercy) from taking over the fictional kingdom of Adlersbrunn.Info from Gamespot.com

Scammers are taking advantage of Fortnite's popularity, and the latest round of Trojan horse malware appears to target the less scrupulous among us. Android apps promising free V-bucks or cheats are reportedly being used for phishing schemes and other nefarious deeds.A report from Malwarebyte Labs looked into Android apps meant to copy Fortnite with promises of advantages like "bogus cheats, wallhacks, and aimbots." The apps then distribute surveys that are actually phishing schemes. At least one YouTube video led to a referral for a download EXE, sending data back to an index file in the Russian Federation. It appears primed to steal browser and Steam session information, cookies, and Bitcoin wallets.Epic chose to distribute Fortnite itself on Android rather than through the Google Play store, presumably in order to avoid the 30% store tax and keep more of its profits. Critics claimed that was a security risk, since forcing customers to go outside a trusted ecosystem for such a popular game would invite copycat malware and phishing attacks. Epic's own installer had its own security problems to boot.If you do install Fortnite on an Android device, make sure you sign up through the official site rather than visiting darker corners of the web to find it. And obviously, never trust a site or app that offers cheats, hacks, or free in-game currency through its own install.Check out our Season 6 Week 2 challenge guide for details on how you can earn unlocks and rewards the good old-fashioned way.Info from Gamespot.com

Those attending the Mortal Engines panel at the Hulu Theater at New York's Madison Square Garden were in for a huge treat on Friday afternoon. Before the cast and minds behind the upcoming December movie came out to talk to the audience, moderator Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings, War of the Planet of the Apes) announced they'd be watching the first 30 minutes of the film. Don't worry, this is spoiler-free.Mortal Engines takes place in the far future where modern technology as we know it has been destroyed and morphed into a steampunk-like world, where giant, moving cities traverse through Europe looking for other cities to eat, in order to use the eaten city's structures to power their gigantic machines to continue the hunt.The story and world--based on the novel of the same name by Philip Reeve--is bonkers, to say the least. The viewer is thrusted into this very different universe where the rules of our world barely apply. It's doesn't have an exceptionally high concept, but at first glance, everything is pretty confusing. Luckily, the world, its rules, and just what happened to the Earth more than 500 years earlier are incredibly fascinating and something ultimately more interesting than the character's stories. The digital effects looks good from what the audience saw. Nothing was muddled or hard to read on the big screen. When you see a giant city that eats other cities, the effects and design makes sense and comes off looking great.Where the opening act of this movie shines is in the fact that it feels like you're watching a classic fantasy/sci-fi adventure film from the '80s. The mobile towns and cities and overall feeling of this world are reminiscent of something Terry Gilliam would have come up with, like Time Bandits or "The Crimson Permanent Assurance." While Mortal Engines takes itself a bit more serious than Gilliam's work, it does have that odd world-building sensibility where the viewer simply has to accept what's happening with the hopes of things being explained later on. For some viewers, this may be a tad tough to swallow, but immersing yourself into this world sooner rather than later is a better way to go.However, the most jarring part of the opening scenes isn't the gigantic city of London travelling at what looks like to be 100 miles per hour, preparing to eat a small town, it's jumping from that high action sequence to meet the cast of characters. We're introduced to Thaddeus Valentine (Hugo Weaving) who is the main antagonist of the film and seemingly in charge of London, trying to shape the world in his image. In the books, he's the Head Historian. There is also his daughter, Katherine (Leila George), young historian Tom Natsworthy (Robert Sheehan), and the vengeful Hester Shaw (Hera Hilmar). There is a lot being tossed at the audience in the first half and hour through world-building, history of the world, and characters and their development. It's borderline sensory-overload, but it's still fun.We're still a few months off from Mortal Engines, as it won't hit theaters until December 14. However, the movie looks promising, even if it doesn't seem to have mass appeal, those much more apt to check out something with a heavy fantasy/sci-fi bend. It feels like watching something from your childhood, something with a great sense of adventure and wonderment, caked around a traditional "get the bad guy in power" story. Just make sure to prepare yourself for a concept that is a bit out there. Info from Gamespot.com

A trailer for American Gods season 2 dropped during the show's New York Comic-Con 2018 panel. Afterwards, members of the series' cast and the executive producer came out to discuss further details about the show.The new trailer showcases many of the gods from the show--both the old and the new--including Odin in his true form and gods we haven't seen before. There's also a brief shot of the massive carousel at the House on the Rock, where Shadow stands in awe of something Odin shows him. The trailer revealed that Season 2 will begin in 2019, but no specification was provided beyond that.Season 2 will pick up literally hours after Season 1's finale at the House on the Rock. Laura and Mad Sweeney will go off on their own journey partway through the season while the rest of the characters handle their own issues. "Things get worse for everybody in traumatic ways," said executive producer Neil Gaiman.The events of Season 2 will negatively influence the characters as well. "Laura is kind of an awful person," said Emily Browning, the actress who portrays the character. "These gods are absolutely human in their needs and their wants," added Yetedi Badaki, who plays Bilquis the goddess of love.American Gods is based on the 2001 novel of the same name, which is also written by Neil Gaiman. It tells the story of Shadow Moon, an ex-convict who finds out his wife dies in a car accident while pleasuring her husband's best friend. He's approached by a con man, who calls himself Mr. Wednesday, with a job offering to work as a personal body guard. After accepting the job, Shadow discovers Mr. Wednesday is secretly Odin, one of the old gods who are dying out as people begin to worship the new gods of the Internet, media, and modern forms of transportation.When American Gods returns for Season 2, Media will either be cut from the show or played by a different actor as Gillian Anderson, who plays the god , has left the show and will not return. Season 2 will also feature a brand new set of writers. Info from Gamespot.com

Mattel's live-action Barbie movie has had some trouble in the past few years, with losing its then-lead actress Amy Schumer (Trainwreck, Snatched) and suffering a host of other setbacks before ultimately being tabled in 2017. Now, it seems Mattel has revived the project, and reports are that Oscar-nominated actress Margot Robbie (Suicide Squad, I, Tonya) is set to star in the film.According to Variety, Robbie will also produce the film under LuckyChap Entertainment, a production company she founded in 2014. Though she'll be producing and starring in the film, Barbie hasn't found a home yet. It was previously set up by Sony Pictures, but Mattel took the rights to the IP back after Sony missed its opportunity. There were also reports that Warner Bros. was attached, but substantial details have yet to be revealed.It was first announced in December 2016 that Schumer was in "early talks" to play the lead role in Mattel's live-action adaptation. While unofficial at the time, the project's original writer, Hilary Winston (My Name is Earl, The Lego Ninjago Movie), suggested she wrote the role for Schumer. Schumer subsequently dropped the project due to scheduling conflicts.Variety states that the story is along the lines of Enchanted and Big, in that the main character finds herself kicked out of Barbieland and thrust into the real world. With Robbie now set to star in the film, it's unclear if the project will stick to the original script.It was expected to open in Summer 2018, but the date has been pushed. Reports now say that Barbie is slated for a May 8, 2020 release date.Info from Gamespot.com

Sony's Venom might have the best opening weekend of any movie that's come out in October. The current record is held by 2014's Gravity, which debuted to $55.7 million.According to Deadline, Venom is currently looking at an opening weekend of $65 million. The movie might make even more money--closer to $70 million--but with both a UFC fight and the MLB playoffs on, the movie is going up against some serious competition. A Star Is Born looks to be coming in second place with an opening weekend of $41 million. Both Smallfoot and Night School--going into their second weekends--are currently grappling over third place, with both earning about $13.5 million.Venom has already earned the highest Thursday night preview in October, earning $10 million in its first night. That's a whole $2 million above the last movie to hold the title, 2011's Paranormal Activity 3, and over double what A Star Is Born made in it's Thursday night preview--which was about $4.55 million. Normally, these numbers would imply Venom is on its way to being a top-tier superhero movie--as its Thursday night preview outpaces both Ant-Man ($6.4 million), Doctor Strange ($9.4 million), and several other hero films--but its Rotten Tomato score is so low that it might ward off potential viewers.Venom is a reimagining of Eddie Brock and the symbiote's meeting, where Peter Parker was never a part of the equation. Eddie, played by Tom Hardy, is an investigative journalist who accidentally stumbles into bonding with an alien symbiote, who's voiced by Tom Hardy, that comes with its own personality and a useful collection of super-human abilities. Eddie tells the symbiote it can stay, but only if the two aim their violent impulses towards the criminal element, leading the two to become the anti-hero known as Venom.In our Venom review, Michael Rougeau wrote, "Venom has all the ingredients of a decent superhero movie--10 or 15 years ago. With spotty CGI, poorly drawn characters, tonal inconsistency including forced 'edginess' and awkward humor, sidelined female characters, and even cringeworthy licensed musical cues, it feels like a relic from the distant, pre-Marvel Cinematic Universe past. That may in part be attributed to the fact that it's been in production in one form or another since at least 2008. But its problems go way past simply being 'old school,' and ultimately, Venom lacks the charm, clarity, and ambition superhero fans have come to expect."Info from Gamespot.com

Bungie has announced a number of Destiny 2 updates on the way, but the one thing that's the same as always is the mysterious merchant Xur. He's back once again to peddle his wares, which include the usual assortment of Exotic gear. Here's what he's selling this weekend, as well as where to find him.This week, Xur continues his pattern of appearing in his same old locations. You'll find him right now on Io, in the Giant's Scar region. Spawn in at the landing zone, hop on your Sparrow, and make your way forward through an overpass. Head left in the wide-open area with the large drill and then jump up the small hill on the left of this area. You'll find Xur hiding out in a cave, as you can see in the map below.On the item side, he has a standard assortment of gear: one Exotic weapon and one Exotic piece of armor for each class, as well as the expensive Fated Engram (which guarantees you a Year One Exotic you don't already own). The weapon is Skyburner's Oath, a scout rifle that fires explosive slugs. There have been complaints about scout rifle damage in PvE, but that's set to change with an update this month.For armor, Hunters get the Young Ahamkara's Spine gauntlets, which improve Tripmines when you deal damage with abilities. Warlocks get the Skull of Dire Ahamkara helmet, which gives you Super energy when you get kills with Nova Bomb.

Bungie has announced two big planned updates for Destiny 2. One of the them, Update 2.0.5, is designed to patch any issues brought up through player feedback, including a concern that the spawn rate for the Ascendent Primeval Servitor--an enemy necessary for earning the Exotic hand cannon Malfeasance--is too low.In a blog post, Bungie wrote, "During week three of the curse cycle, also known as a full-curse week, the Ascendant Primeval Servitor will have almost the same chance to spawn as any other Primeval. We will also be increasing the chance for the boss to spawn during lesser-curse weeks, but it will still be lower than during a full-curse week."In order to earn Malfeasance, you need to acquire the Seething Heart quest that is only possible to attain through killing an Ascendant Primeval Servitor in Gambit. The increased spawn rate of the boss enemy should make that process easier and faster. However, Bungie adds that this change comes with some drawbacks."For full transparency, since the Ascendant Primeval Servitor spawn rate will increase significantly when these changes are released, we are tweaking how ship and Sparrow rewards drop from the boss," Bungie wrote, "Vanity items are no longer guaranteed drops for subsequent boss kills after you earn the quest, instead the vanity items will now only have a chance to drop."Destiny 2 Update 2.0.5 is scheduled to come out on October 30. The game is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.Info from Gamespot.com

While SyFy’s new show Nightflyers shares the same creator as the behemoth that is HBO’s Game of Thrones, beard enthusiast and lapsed author George RR Martin is really where the similarities between the two shows begin and end. While Game of Thrones trades in fantasy spectacle and high stakes soap opera intrigue, Nightflyers aims directly for horror, and from what we saw at the world premiere screening of the show’s first episode during New York Comic Con this week, it looks like it's dipping into the best of both classic and recent sci-fi horror films in its attempt to deliver on its scary premise.That premise stems from a novella written by GRR Martin in the early 1980s. The year is 2093, and humanity is in trouble. Although settlements seems to have been made within the solar system (or at least on the Moon, according to a quick scene we glimpsed in the pilot episode), Earth desperately needs new resources. On the edge of the solar system, humans detect an alien vessel, but all attempts to communicate with it have been met with silence so far.Enter the Nightflyer, a huge ship which serves as home for hundreds of crew, and its latest mission: to escort a group of scientists to the alien vessel, who then plan to use a human telepath as a last-ditch attempt to establish a dialogue with the aliens that may hold the key to humanity's survival. Of course, things go awry from the moment the Nightflyer leaves Earth's orbit.If you think that set-up sounds reminiscent of other trapped-on-a-ship-in-deep-space films like Event Horizon or Sunshine, then you’d be right on the money. Nightflyers, at least from its first episode, looks like it's happy to emulate the best space thrillers of the last 50 years, using familiar tropes and even specific visual imagery to elicit deep reactions. Claustrophobic metal corridors that suddenly become empty and menacing as a character walks through? Nightflyers has it. Creepy hallucinations that set the entire crew on edge? Check? Strange children who may or may not be dead suddenly appearing out of nowhere? For sure. There's even a direct visual nod to one of the most famous jogging scenes in sci-fi history included in this first episode (I'll let you guess which one).That's not to say, however, that Nightflyers is all reference and no substance. There's enough tension and intrigue in this pilot to make it seem like the 10-episode run of the show will be a worthwhile watch, and there are plenty of mysteries (both with characters and plot) that will leave you wanting to know more. Just why does the ship's captain Roy Eris only ever appear as a hologram? Why does he have cameras installed all over the ship? What is the ultimate goal of lead scientist Karl D'Branin, and why is he keeping secrets from the crew entrusted to transport him to his ultimate goal?But Nightflyers' best moments in this first episode stem from how the show treats human telepaths. People with psychic abilities in the world of Nightflyers are treated like extremely dangerous criminals, sedated for most of their waking hours and tucked away in remote locations lest they cause havoc on the population. So of course, the fact that one of the strongest telepaths ever is being brought on board sets tensions within the entire crew high, and the show milks it thanks to the creepy performance of actor Sam Strike as the telepath Thale. Thale is being set up as an extremely powerful and perhaps malicious character, although the mysterious events on the Nightflyer may not all be his doing.Nightflyers is set to air on SyFy this December, with all 10 episodes being rapidly shown on all SyFy platforms within a two-week time period. The first five episodes will air nightly starting December 2 up until December 6, while the next batch of five will air from December 9 through to the 13th. There’ll also be weekend marathons broadcast.Info from Gamespot.com

Bungie has announced that Last Wish, the Raid included in the Forsaken expansion for Destiny 2, will not be getting additional difficulties. Several past Destiny Raids got a Prestige mode after they launched, which made everything much harder.In a blog post, Bungie wrote, "We wanted to create an experience that offered the truest forms of every encounter from day one, and offered some of the most powerful rewards in the game to anyone who could succeed." This coincides with Bungie's decision to transform the Iron Banner and make the mode more akin to "an arms race." It makes the mode more challenging from the get go, but it pushes low Power level characters to grow stronger. That's not to say that Raid updates for Forsaken are done. In the same blog post, Bungie further teased a new Raid lair for Black Armory, which is scheduled for this December. If you happen to have an Annual Pass for Destiny 2, you'll be hearing more information about the next lair "real soon."Bungie has two updates scheduled for Destiny 2 this October. The first starts the Festival of the Lost, a special event we don't know much about. The second one, coming October 30, will hopefully make it easier to earn the Exotic hand cannon Malfeasance. The spawn rate for the Ascendant Primeval Servitor will be increased, and you need an item to drop from them in order to start the quest needed to acquire the gun.Destiny 2 is available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.Info from Gamespot.com
