While 1997’s GoldenEye 007 is an iconic game in its own right, modders have now managed to turn the Nintendo 64 title into a full game for another equally classic James Bond film, The Spy Who Loved Me. In an hour-long clip featured above, YouTube user Graslu00 plays through 11 levels of the new mod, which spans across all the locations of the film including the legendary ski chase scene in the Alps, the rooftop fight in Egypt, and the Liparus supertanker in the Atlantic Ocean. Of course, it also adds Roger Moore’s likeliness to the main character alongside Barbara Bach’s Anya Amasova and Curt Jürgens’ Karl Stromberg so you can fully immerse yourself into the retro game. It’ll even run on 4K at 60 frames per second via an emulator, although diehard fans will be able to play it on ...

With its October release date soon approaching, Activision and Infinity Ward have finally announced the open beta dates for the highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Taking place over two weekends in September, gamers will be able to access the title earlier and for longer if they’re on the PlayStation platform, which doesn’t come as a surprise given the publisher’s previous deals with Sony Interactive Entertainment. For both PS4 and PS5 users who have pre-ordered the game already or received a special beta code, you’ll be able to try out the game from September 16 to September 20. All other PlayStation players will be able to join in on the open beta experience from September 18 onwards. The second weekend then comes on September 22 through September 26, and this time r...

Nvidia has released its preliminary results for Q2, which demonstrate a drastic decrease in gaming revenue. The company reported that its gaming revenue wound up at $2.04 billion USD, compared to $3.06 billion USD last year. Although the official earnings won’t be shared for another two weeks, the drop reported in the preliminary results marks a 33% decrease in revenue amid an industry-wide trend of fewer consumers buying gaming hardware. Some companies are reporting that their hardware sales are down, possibly due to most people having bought new equipment over the pandemic during last year’s lockdown and quarantine measures. “NVIDIA has excellent products and positions driving large and growing markets. As we navigate these challenges, we remain focused on the once-in-a-generation opport...

New leaks for the upcoming Grand Theft Auto VI are now giving fans an idea of just how large the new game’s map will be. According to GTA leaker Matheusvictorbr, Rockstar‘s new title will feature a playable map size as massive as the one found in its other sibling title Red Dead Redemption 2 and even come with a standalone, second map just like Guarma which will bring players into the Caribbean. As for the main map, other rumors are pointing heavily at another Miami-inspired setting, meaning we’ll likely revisit Vice City more than two decades after its debut in 2002. Of course, all these are just rumors for now and Rockstar Games has yet to announce anything officially itself. With the game still estimated to be a few years away from release, it’s unlikely the develope...

FIFA Mobile has a new mode for users that would rather work from the sideline than play out on the field. EA has launched Manager Mode, allowing users to experience what it’s like to oversee the team, from creating a strategic plan to making real-time adjustments on the field. A trailer for the mode showcases how managers can choose to tactfully employ their players in an “attack” or can consciously make the decision when it’s time to “counter” the other team’s advances. “There are 4 preset Tactics: Attacking, Control, Counter, and Defensive,” EA said. “Once you start adjusting the details within a Preset Tactic, you’re now creating a Custom Tactic. Choosing your Tactics depends on your team’s strengths and weaknesses, your opponent, and the game situation.” Manager Mode also allows users ...

ComicConnect has just come across a very unique one-of-a-king collectible card. The card is question is a signed 1992 little league baseball card of Facebook/META founder Mark Zuckerberg. The card is the property of Mark Zuckerberg’s camp counselor, Allie Tarantino, from over 30 years ago. Tarantino was gifted the card during camp and asked Zuckerberg to sign it as a playful gesture. Tarantino comments, “Mark was one of my campers and one day he came in with this card and gave it to me — I was stunned that he was on it!

I never could have guessed what amazing things he would do!” “I’ve been telling this story for quite a while, about how I knew Mark as a camper, and it always astonishes people to see t...

Activision Blizzard has canceled its World of Warcraft mobile game, Bloomberg reported. The project had reportedly been in development for three years but was ultimately shelved due to a dispute regarding financing between Blizzard and its Chinese publishing partner, NetEase. “The two companies disagreed over terms and ultimately called a halt to the project, which had been kept under wraps,” a source close to the deal told Bloomberg.

NetEase has worked with Blizzard for over a decade, and also publishes the popular mobile title Diablo Immortal. While the relationship between Blizzard and NetEase moving forward is unclear, Warcraft fans can...
