Now a fixture for the series, the Zombies mode returns in the recently released Call of Duty: WW2.

The early access release of Atlas has been rocky to say the least, with numerous delays deflating a lot of the excitement surrounding the game. That said, players now have access to the new open world game, and a recent discovery has some saying that the MMO is little more than a reskin of the developer’s previous title, Ark: Survival Evolved.

Fans of Persona 5 might remember a certain confidant ability giving them trouble. Not because it’s hard to get, but because it made playing the game harder. Upon reaching rank 7 with Ryuji, he gave players the Insta-kill ability…whether they wanted it or not.

The Seven Deadly Sins is a fascinating show for the most part. I think it’s probably the Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood fan in me speaking here, but I’m very intrigued by the idea of personifying Greed, Wrath, Lust, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, and Pride - particularly when said personifications subvert the more immediate connotations of each and every one of them. We’ve seen enough depictions of Gluttony being a gravy-guzzler, thanks, and Envy being a Wizard of Oz-esque wimp is pretty boring at this point....
