Game of Thrones Star Is Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s Villain
Activision has announced that Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington will appear in Infinity Ward's Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
But rather than being a friendly face during the fight, Harington will star as "the embodiment of the enemy, the Settlement Defense Front," according to narrative director Taylor Kurosaki.
To aid in bringing Harington's villainous role to life, director Guy Ritchie, who previously helmed a live-action trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops II, was brought in to assist on production during Harington's filming. Activision has also released a sneak peek at Harington's mo-cap work.

How TWD: Season 7 Is the Beginning of a New Chapter
The Walking Dead ended on a major cliffhanger, and though the unanswered question of who died at the end of Season 6 left some fans disappointed, the creative minds behind the AMC show stand behind the decision to press pause when they did.
IGN had a chance to tour Greg Nicotero's KNB EFX Group studio in California in anticipation for the July 4th opening of Universal Hollywood's The Walking Dead theme park attraction. While there, I asked The Walking Dead's executive producer/director/EFX mastermind about how they plan to protect fans from having the cliffhanger spoiled for them before Season 7 premieres, and why it was so important that they end Season 6 at that moment.

Why Gaming Conventions Need Calm, Quiet Spaces
We all have moments when we’re vulnerable, in pain, or just need to take a step away from the overstimulation that can come with life, including the things we love: family, friends, school, work, and even video games.
Whether you’re suffering from mild amounts of stress or a mental illness slightly more debilitating, everyone deserves to have their thoughts and feelings heard. So begins the mission of Take This, a non-profit charity dedicated to spreading awareness of mental health issues — specifically in the gaming community.
“As with every community, we have strong alliances with one another, but we have discovered that even in our unique group, we still have a really hard time asking for help,” Shannon Gerritzen, co-Executive Director of Take This, tells IGN. "Take This wants to knock those walls down.”

Agents of Mayhem Mixes Overwatch and Saints Row
It's hard to know where to start when writing about Agents of Mayhem, the new IP from the Saints Row developers at Volition. Some of its parts seem familiar of course, but taken together, it becomes difficult to describe in terms of other games. It takes multiplayer hero-shooter elements and puts them into a single-player experience, it borrows from the Pixar aesthetic and marries it to decidedly un-Pixar subject matter, and it even adds a surprising amount of RPG min/maxing to the predominantly shooty antics of third-person open-world action games. Even now as I read what I’m writing, it sounds kind of like I’m making it up as I go. I’m not – I actually played Agents of Mayhem, and it’s just that off-the-wall. In a good way.
