This article contains spoilers for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities “The Autopsy” One of the horror genre’s greatest tools is the fear humans have of examining their own bodies. We constantly hear about what makes us tick, we know all of the organs instrumental to our survival, but to see them raw, unfiltered, and treated with nonchalance is jarring. In “The Autopsy,” one of the best episodes of Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities, the human body is nothing but a test subject....

At San Diego Comic-Con, Activision announces that Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare pre-orders will come with a remake of the Terminal map from Modern Warfare 2. With 12 main series games in total, the Call of Duty franchise has featured hundreds of different multiplayer maps.

Call of Duty: Mobile released last year on October 1, and the game is celebrating one year on the market with a new season – aptly titled “Anniversary.” The eleventh season is now live, introducing a new game mode, new map, and a whole lot more.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players are still waiting for a skin which was teased at the beginning of season 3 and has since been absent. The skin in question relates to Simon “Ghost” Riley, but it has a rather notorious connotation among fans of the series. Season 3 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been out for a while now, yet the skin has not made any appearance in game or even been mentioned out of game....

This week, publisher Activision and developer Infinity Ward finally gave fans their first look at this year’s Call of Duty, which carries the subtitle Modern Warfare. It’s a return to form for the series, both in terms of the approach to its gameplay and the structure of its storytelling.

The worlds of Call of Duty’s Warzone, Modern Warfare, Black Ops and Zombies are finally connected in a single universe. Earlier this week, Treyarch released a new map for Black Ops Cold War Zombies Firebase Z mode, which features numerous Easter eggs as well as a cutscene that connects to the Modern Warfare series.

Call of Duty: Warzone drops in a loadout crate during each zone closing on a rather predictable basis. These loadout crates are often vital for players spawning back into the game after a gulag battle, or for under-geared fans looking for a quick boost. While these crates have been easy to spot, recently, Call of Duty: Warzone fans are noticing a rather negative trend. One factor that Call of Duty: Warzone fans can’t control is the location that the zone randomly zooms into....

Call of Duty: Warzone players don’t often think of the RAM-7 when building their loadouts, but it can actually be a pretty powerful gun with the right attachments. Call of Duty: Warzone player and streamer thestonystark has revealed yet another of his powerful weapon setups in the game, this time focusing on the RAM-7, which is potentially even more powerful than popular weapons like the M4 and Grau. In a new TikTok video, thestonystark has laid out the ideal RAM-7 loadout for Call of Duty: Warzone....

The Season 4 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Warzone made some big weapon balance changes, and while most fans may have been concerned about the Grau nerf, it also made important changes to the FAL. After the latest update, the FAL in Warzone is quite possibly the best gun players can use in the game, and with the right loadout, it can be absolutely devastating and overpowered. Twitch streamer and TikTok user thestonystark recently revealed an especially powerful FAL loadout in Warzone that players can use to get a significant advantage in the game....

This may be one of the oddest things I’ve reviewed in my nearly three years at TheGamer. However, I am doing so with, quite honestly, the freshest feeling mouth that I think I’ve ever had without visiting the dentist. It all comes courtesy of my new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Limited Edition BURST Sonic Toothbrush - a product I always knew I needed (due to my dentist’s recommendation), but one that I never pulled the trigger on until just recently....

If you keep your spooky season watches within the bounds of America and the U.K., then you’re missing out. Some of the scariest horror films are international. Korean pop culture has been in the news lately for the success of social horror Squid Game, but the country’s cinema has been effectively creeping us out for decades.
