Call of Duty: Mobile players were no doubt dominating when using a controller to play the game, unfortunately Activision has ruined that portion of fun. Controllers for Call of Duty: Mobile have now been disabled.

Activision Support has replied to a fan on Twitter who was asking about controller support for the game. Activision has said that since the last update for the game, controller support has been revoked and it seems it won't be returning either.

It seems like a great idea to remove the controller support, as players who are just using their fingers to aim would have a clear disadvantage when compared to those players who have hooked up their controller. Call of Duty: Mobile is aimed at mobile players, and I believe that players who want to hook up their controller for a clear advantage should instead take pillaging desires to consoles where those controllers belong.

Nintendo has rolled out the newest update to Super Mario Maker 2 adding online co-op and competitive modes.

The newest update levels up the game to version 1.1.0 and adds online player matchmaking in the form of co-op and versus play. According to Nintendo World Report, Nintendo chose to not originally include online matchmaking because they didn't want players tag-teaming up to top global leader-boards.

Now that version 1.1.0 has released players now have that option and can search for players or even invite Switch friends via their friends lists. Nintendo has also added voice chat support via the Nintendo Switch Online mobile app. If you are interested in checking out the full version 1.1.0 changes visit this link here.

The InSight lander that is currently on Mars has relayed back to Earth some amazing audio sounds that scientists believe to be Marsquakes and other martian sounds.

NASA's InSight lander has managed to capture more than 100 events on its radar, but its estimated that only out of these 100 events that 21 of those are marsquake potentials. InSight's seismometer which is what was used to capture this evidence is so impressively sensitive that it can also pick up the sound of wind on the distant planet.

Imperial College London's Constantinos Charalambous who assisted with the audio recordings said commented on the video, saying "It's been exciting, especially in the beginning, hearing the first vibrations from the lander. You're imagining what's really happening on Mars as InSight sits on the open landscape."

NetherRealm Studios has teased a brand new skin for Cassie Cage, the skin coincides with the announcement of Birds Of Prey.

Above we have the teaser that has been released onto the official Mortal Kombat 11 Twitter page. From the video we can see Cassie Cage with a brand new Harley Quinn skin that resembles much of the depiction of Harley Quinn in the recently released Birds Of Prey trailer.

The Tweet also mentions Birds Of Prey, saying "Cassie auditioned for #BirdsOfPrey. Unfortunately, she inherited her Father's acting skills." The video also shows off the soon to be released Terminator T-800, and as Cage approaches the cyborg she says "What, no roses?". Terminator responds with "Just guns", Cage then says "Welcome to the jungle." This is all a direct reference to band Gun n' Roses and how that band is connected to The Terminator.

Both Blizzard and Nintendo announced Overwatch for the Nintendo Switch back in early September, and since then players have been wondering how not only the controls are going to pan out, but also if there is going to be adjustable performance options available.

In a recent interview with Vooks, Wes Yanagi, the games principal producer discussed both of these topics and shined a light on some valuable information. According to Yanagi, the Nintendo Switch version of Overwatch will have the tradional controller layout that other consoles do, but in addition players will have what is called 'gyro-aim support'.

Yanagi says, "Controls for the Nintendo Switch version of Overwatch is basically the same as the other consoles. However, one big addition is gyro-aim support. With gyro-aiming, you can tilt the Switch or Pro Controller to give a little nudge to your aim and help line-up shots. Or, you can detach the Joy-Cons and point it at the screen like a laser pointer. One of our designers plays this way and dominates."

A new large-scale study has been released showcasing data towards smartphone typing speeds exponentially catching up with physical keyboard typing speeds.

Researchers from Aalto University, University of Cambridge and ETH Zurich conducted an analysis on the typing speeds of tens of thousands of phone and computer users. Anna Feit, a researcher at ETH Zurich, and one of the papers co-authors said "We were amazed to see that users typing with two thumbs achieved 38 words per minute on average, which is only about 25% slower than the typing speeds we observed in a similar large-scale study of physical keyboards."

The researchers also found that while typing on a physical keyboard is certainly still faster, the people who reach the 100 words-per-minute (wpm) mark was actually decreasing. Meaning that smartphone users are slowing bridging the gap between keyboard speed and smartphone speed. The study also found that of the 37,000 volunteers (who varied in age and demographic) that 74% of people type with two thumbs.

Respawn Entertainment has released the third season of Apex Legends, making the highly anticipated 'Crypto' available to play as well as a bunch of brand new surprise content.

Season 3 will take players to a brand new map called World's Edge where players will see a visual representation of fire and water battling each other. Just like every new season, there is a new Battle Pass to go along with it and that also means brand new skins for guns, champions, loading screen art and more.

To go along with the additions of gun skins and more, Respawn Entertainment has also added brand new music packs, skydive emotes, Legend banners, crafting metals, XP boosts, Apex Packs and Apex Coins. Not to mention the addition of the brand new Legend Crypto. For those wondering how much the Battle Pass is, it comes it at a price of 950 Apex Coins which is about $10. When purchased players will automatically unlock new skins for Mirage, Bloodhound, and Octane as well as a Legendary skin for the DMR Longbow, Reckoner.

UPDATE: Microsoft has issued a statement saying Project Scarlett won't ship with a camera.

Microsoft's ultra-powerful next-gen Project Scarlett Xbox console will come with a high-end 4K camera, sources tell Gizmodo.

Microsoft has been surprisingly open about its new Xbox console. The company confirmed Project Scarlett will sport AMD's new Zen 2 CPU and GPU technology for a huge compute jump over current gen, it's targeting higher frame rates versus resolution, it's 4x as powerful as the Xbox One X's 6TFLOPs of power, and it has an on board super-fast SSD that can be used as VRAM for games. And it's fully backward compatible with every Xbox One game and peripheral.

Logitech today revealed an interesting new mechanical keyboard with swappable keyswitches.

The new Logitech G Pro X one-ups the original Logitech G Pro keyboard in a big way: it lets users swap between red, blue, or brown mechanical key switches on-the-fly. Users can literally pull out the entire key-and-switch combo from the board.

The Pro X uses Logitech G's proprietary GX switches that come in three flavors: Clicky (blue) for a more audible and punchy press, Tactile (brown) for a more soft bump, or Linear (red) for smooth keystrokes.

Ubisoft takes a risk by over-monetizing Ghost Recon Breakpoint, effectively experimenting to see how far its live service plan can go.

Pretty much every aspect of Breakpoint is monetized. Gamers can simply pay real money to circumvent key parts of the grind. It has clear pay-to-win microtransations that let gamers pay real money for skill boosts, weapon attachments, blueprints, and upgrades, crafting materials, EXP boosters--you can even buy in-game cash to fuel your grind. You name it, it can be bought.

Time-savers, cosmetics, upgrades and more are locked behind a Ghost Coins premium currency that can only be bought with real money. Ghost Coins can't be earned in the game. Conversion rates are about $4.99 for 600 Ghost Coins and range up to $79.99 for 12,000 Ghost Coins. Weapon bundles are priced at roughly $10 when converted from GC to USD, whereas attachment bundles are around $30 or so. That's a lot of cash.

Destiny 2 players on PC can't jump in right away, unlike their console counterparts.

Even if you pre-loaded Destiny 2 on Steam and grabbed the big new Shadowkeep expansion, you still can't dive right into the game. There's one extra step you have to wait a few hours to complete: unpacking. Steam has to unpack and sort out all the data you downloaded, and it's a time-consuming process.

Once 1PM EST rolled around, I excitedly clicked PLAY on Destiny 2's Steam button, only to be met by a 3 hour "Preparing to Launch Destiny 2" timer. Did I miss a download? No...the massive 1TB of Destiny data was locked in and pre-downloaded on my hard drive. Was there another update? No, not exactly. Checking Steam's download page, I saw the data was getting unpacked. Steam wasn't actually downloading anything from Bungie.

Sony lowers PlayStation Now's monthly price down to $10 to make more attractive against competing services like Xbox Game Pass.

PlayStation Now has changed a lot over the years, and now it's changing even more. Sony is taking key plays from Microsoft's Game Pass playbook: not only has PS Now dropped to $9.99 a month, the service will rotate new games in and out every month. Starting in October we'll see big hits like God of War and GTA V arrive on PlayStation Now, letting gamers sample titles for a month (it's worth noting the PS Now PC subscription has different games than the PS4).

Sony's service combines the best of both worlds. It's a combination of Project xCloud's and Stadia's cloud-streaming and Game Pass, letting users play games remotely from Sony's servers or download them directly for dedicated console play. The selection goes all the way back to the 2000s era and includes more than 800 games from PS2 to PS4.

It isn't just Arnold Schwarzenegger that's playable in the new Mortal Kombat 11 character pass--the terrifying metallic T-800 endoskeleton is too.

The Terminator is coming to Mortal Kombat 11, complete with Arnold's face and body from the new Terminator: Dark Fate movie. But there's also a nice surprise: the T-800's skin can burn off, letting you play as the fearsome iconic metallic skeleton straight from the movies. The endoskeleton's moveset is also slightly different and less athletic than Arnold's, delivering more powerful swipes and mechanical smashes. There's also a ton of different skins lifted right from the movies.

The fatality is the best part of the entire reveal. The victim gets transported to the dark sci-fi future hellscape of a post-Skynet world and is completely obliterated by other T-800s. Now all we need is an entire game set in this 80s-tastic skull-filled world. Maybe the new Terminator shooter will deliver?

Zynga, the creators of the immensely popular Farmville, Draw Something and Zynga Poker have admitted to a data breach that has exposed 200 million accounts personal information.

A statement has recently been issued out by Zynga addressing the cyber attacks and it says that cyber attacks are "one of the unfortunate realities of doing business today." The statement also says that the company recently became aware that a "certain player account information" was possibly "illegally" acquired by "outside hackers".

Zynga has also said that they have launched an immediate investigate to how this hack occured and to assist them in their investigation they have brought in an outside forensic team. It is believed that no financial information was stolen throughout this hack and just "account information" was exposed. If you play any of the apps that fall under Zynga's massive umbrella I would advise you to change your passwords as soon as possible.

Earlier this month Blizzard dropped the news that Overwatch would soon be heading over to the Nintendo Switch. While that has certainly got many Nintendo Switch fans happy, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate community has put their speculation caps on for potential future fighters.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the biggest game on the Nintendo Switch, so it would make sense for one of Blizzard heroes to make an appearance in the representative fighter, especially now that Overwatch is coming over to the handheld console. I'm not the only one who thinks this either, as Principal Game Producer Wes Yanagi said to GameStop that "As a player and big fan of [Smash], I think that would be awesome. It would be an honor if Nintendo chose to bring one of our characters into Smash Bros."

During Nintendo's September Direct they announced that after the initial Fighters Pass that they would be planning on releasing more DLC fighters to make Super Smash Bros. Ultimate the most ultimate Smash game ever. Could some heroes from Overwatch be included in this future Fighters Pass? At the moment there is no leaks or rumors suggesting as such, but I think it would be an incredible idea if Nintendo and Blizzard managed to pull it off.

A new deal has been announced between legendary console creator Atari and Antstream to bring "thousands" of retro titles to the Atari VCS when it launches.

The new deal will be bring optimized and expanded versions of Antstream's Arcade game subscription service exclusively to the VCS when it debuts. Users that pick up Atari's new console will have access to Atari's own personal library of 300+ titles as well as "thousands" of more titles from other vintage platforms.

Not only does the Antstream service bring users a plethora of more games, but it also includes a global leaderboard ranking system, social challenges and support for the classic joystick and modern controllers. The service will be provided to players as a subscription that users can opt into, it will cost either $10 a month or $96 a year to access the massive library of games.

With The Pirate Bay being the home to many illegal torrents and file sharing methods, Facebook has lodged an all out war against any links directed to the website.

According to TorrentFreak who noticed the update to Facebook, Pirate Bay related links were blocked from being sent from one Facebook account to another. But now in an effort from social media companies to crack down on the distribution of copyrighted content, Facebook has blocked the sharing of any links that are directed to the Pirate Bay in timeline posts or in chat messages.

This newly released blockade carries over to Facebook Messenger as well, and if a link is attempted to be shared among users this message will come up in the chat: "You can't share this link. Your post couldn't be shared, because this link goes against our Community Standards." This isn't the first time The Pirate Bay has been blocked by Facebook, ten years ago the site only prevented people from linking to torrent pages, but now users can't even link to its landing home page.

Scientists have been observing our solar system for quite some time now, and throughout their observations we have noticed some space objects affected by strange gravitational pulls.

While there are many different theories for why these space objects have had their trajectory affected by an anonymous gravitational pulls, a new theory has suggested that there could be an primordial black hole (PBH) located somewhere in our solar system. This black hole wouldn't be like the one that is located at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy, as that black hole is a 'supermassive' one.

If there is a black hole hiding out somewhere in our solar system it would only be around five centimeters in radius, but still have five times Earth's mass. Due to the black holes size and gravitational pulling power, Astronomers Jakub Scholtz of Durham University and James Unwin of University of Illinois at Chicago believe that it could be located much closer than we originally think. The paper suggests that instead of thinking that there is a mysterious Planet Nine effecting the space objects, that this PBH could be the answer astronomers have been looking at for years.

NetherRealm Studios has taken to their official Twitter page to tease fans of the Terminator T-800 gameplay that is to be released extremely soon.

Back in late August the full official roster for Mortal Kombat 11's Kombat Pack was revealed and players were introduced to a massive cast of awesome characters to look forward to. One of those characters was Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator T-800, and while the design of the character is most definitely based off the famous movies, the voice acting unfortunately won't be done by Arnie.

Above we have the teaser video released onto the official Mortal Kombat Twitter page, it showcases the Terminators targeting system locking onto various Mortal Kombat characters such as Erron Black and Baraka. It says closer to the end of the video the release date for Terminator will be on October 8th, which coincides with what was originally announced back in August.

A new trailer has been released onto the PlayStation Europe YouTube Channel revealing a brand new indie title called Arise: A Simple Story.

Above we have the announcement trailer and from the video we can see that the title is published by Dying Light 2 developer Techland and is developed by Spanish studio Piccolo. The games premise seems to reflect that of what human life is like, an emotional struggle with many ups and downs that eventually results in us dying. Arise: A Simple Story begins right after our hero has died, and players will follow him as he travels through various memories from his long life which are represented by the different seasons.

The video's description says that "Arise is an emotional journey through the bittersweet lives of two people where memories come alive and time bends to your will". Players will relive his life's story which is a "story of joy and sorrow. A simple story." It should also be noted that the games soundtrack sounds absolutely incredible, this is because it's composed by David Garcia who composed the also incredible soundtracks for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice and RiME.
