Some Customers Are Receiving Mafia 3 Deluxe Editions Without Activation Codes
Numerous customers have taken to Amazon to voice frustrations with their copies of Mafia 3's $80.00 deluxe edition on PC. As they tell it, they received the package only to find its activation code necessary to actually playing the game was missing.
The common trend among the one star reviews is that the customer received his or her package, with everything included except the game's instruction manual, which contains the game's activation code, the Season Pass, and the pre-order bonuses.
One customer has updated their review to explain Amazon refunded their money, however at this time it doesn't appear they have been offered replacement codes for the game or pre-order bonuses. We've reached out to 2K about this issue and will update the story should we hear back.
5 Things to Know About Spider-Man’s Clone Conspiracy
Even as Civil War II rages on, another major Marvel crossover is gearing up this month. The Clone Conspiracy is the latest Spider-Man epic from writer Dan Slott. The mini-series and its various tie-ins will explore what happens when the Jackal begins bringing the dead back to life. How can Peter Parker stop a villain with total power over death? And does he even want to?
With the Clone Conspiracy #1 hitting stores on October 12, we want to help Spidey fans gear up for this massive conflict. We're breaking down the five key things you need to know about the state of the Spider-man franchise before diving into this crossover.
There's no surer way to give Peter Parker a headache than to mention the word "clone." Spider-Man has quite a rocky history with clones, dating back to the time he battled his own clone back in 1973's Amazing Spider-Man #149. His clone woes peaked in the mid-'90s thanks to the infamous Clone Saga storyline, where Peter was led to believe he was a clone and was temporarily replaced by Ben Reilly. Clones are something Spidey and his readers would just as soon forget about.
6 Photos of Doctor Strange’s Cast Compared to the Comics
The Sorcerer Supreme is coming to the big screen in Doctor Strange, the latest installment in Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe films. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as the titular hero in the movie, which will usher the mystical arts into the superhero saga.
Doctor Strange in many ways will be an origin film, explaining surgeon Stephen Strange's transition to the Mystic Arts as he becomes one of the most powerful heroes around. It also will introduce magic into the MCU in a way that is certain to have a lasting impact on the series. And will one of the missing Infinity Stones pop up as well? Only time will tell.
The Defenders: 6 Villains Sigourney Weaver Might Play
Marvel and Netflix dropped a major bombshell at NYCC this past weekend when actress Sigourney Weaver walked on stage at the "Iron Fist" panel and revealed that she's been cast as the lead villain in the upcoming Defenders series. We don't know which character Weaver will be playing, but clearly it's someone capable of taking on the combined might of Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist. That alone narrows down the candidate pool a bit.
We've put together a list of seven potential villains Weaver might play in The Defenders. Because Marvel isn't averse to gender-swapping characters from time to time, we're including a mix of male and female characters.
Check out our picks and then let us know your theories in the comments below.

Supergirl: Who Is in the Pod?
Warning: This article contains previously announced official character information for Supergirl: Season 2 that has not been revealed onscreen yet and could be considered a spoiler for those trying to avoid anything about what’s to come.
Supergirl wrapped up its first season with a major cliffhanger, as a space pod identical to the one that carried Kara Zor-El to Earth crashed in the middle of National City. The bad news is that the Season 2 premiere didn't reveal much about the pod's comatose inhabitant (played by The Vampire Diaries' Chris Wood) or why he traveled to Earth. The good news is that The CW already revealed the identity of this alien visitor: Mon-El. That alone offers plenty of clues as to what role the character will play this season.

Gears of War 4 Update Tweaks Credit System
Gears of War 4 developer The Coalition has issued a new server-side update that makes it easier for players to earn Credits, the shooter's in-game currency.
According to a developer blog post, the update brings down the cost of an Elite Pack from 4000 to 3500 Credits and increases the amount of match completion bonus Credits rewarded from Versus Multiplayer.
These changes were made after monitoring data and hearing player feedback, which helped The Coalition determine that previous calculations for Credit rewards were "under expectations."

Power Rangers’ Green Ranger Series ‘Still Very Possible’
With a Green Ranger somewhat absent from the upcoming movie reboot, the original actor behind him says the character could well get his own spin-off series.
Speaking to Comicbook.com, Jason David Frank explained that not only is he interested in the idea of a Green Ranger series, but talks have been had with owning company Saban.
Discussing his relationship with director Aaron Schoenke - with whom he reprised the White Ranger role for web series, Super Power Beatdown - Frank explains that, “he came to the house and we talked about the Green Ranger series with Saban, which is not dead yet. That's still very possible with that."
In what is probably more of a hopeful statement than a definitive hint, he reiterated that point later in the interview, saying: “I got a lot of big things coming out next year. We're talking with Saban about the Green Ranger series."
