Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Gameplay Reveal Confirmed for E3
Square Enix has confirmed gameplay of Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be shown as part of the company's E3 press conference.
The announcement was made on the game's Twitter account, and will likely be music to the ears of fans who've had to make do with an (albeit amazing) cinematic trailer until now.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is the sequel to Deus Ex: Human Revolution and set in 2029, two years after the events of the precursor game. Square Enix officially announced the PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One title back in April, though a leak pointed to Adam Jensen's return before then.
Spy Debuts as Number 1 Movie; Entourage Opens Weak
While HBO hoped to win over audiences with a film revival of its popular show Entourage, it was competing comedy Spy that ruled the North American box office.
The Paul Feig-directed James Bond spoof, starring Melissa McCarthy, Jason Statham, Jude Law and Rose Byrne, took home $30 million. Spy eclipsed Entourage, which fell short of expectations with $10.4 million for the weekend and a five-day launch total of $17.8 million (it opened Wednesday), according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's likely that Warner Bros. and HBO Films hoped to mimic the success of the 2008 Sex and the City movie, which opened to $58 million.
Constantine TV Series Officially Dead
Die-hard fans of NBC's Constantine have been clinging to the hope that the show would find life elsewhere after NBC cancelled it last month. There were rumblings that it might make a leap over to The CW, though CW's head Mark Pedowitz dismissed the idea as "just a rumor."
Now Constantine EP Daniel Cerone has come forward with an official statement about the series, and it's not good. On Twitter, Cerone broke the news that the show was over and thanked fans for their continued support. Here's what he wrote...

Best GTA 5 Mods of the Week – Episode 5
It's been almost two months since Grand Theft Auto 5 came out on PC and modders are still finding ways to make the experience new, different, more exciting, or just plain stupid.
From grappling hooks to terrifying shark-dogs, here are our favorite Grand Theft Auto 5 mods of the week.
Los Santos turned Raccoon City? Not exactly. Still, if you feel the need to mow down the undead in Grand Theft Auto 5, there's always the Grand Theft Zombies mod from GTZDevs.
Take note, this is an extremely early version of the mod, so the zombies (which are really just clones of the Vinewood Zombie cosplayer) probably won't be as exciting as they should.
All mods have to start somewhere though, so it's one to keep an eye on if you're a zombie fan.

Asteroid Named After Leonard Nimoy
Leonard Nimoy has been immortalized as a celestial body.
Asteroid 4864 has been dubbed 4864 Nimoy in honor of the late Star Trek actor. Part of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, Slate reports 4864 Nimoy is roughly 10km across (approx. 6 miles) and orbits the Sun every 3.9 years. It was first discovered in 1988.
Nimoy is best known for his role as Spock, the half-human, half-Vulcan officer from the original Star Trek television show and movies. This show was well-known for being science fiction borrowing heavily from science fact to construct its premise and episodes, and many modern scientists attribute their interest in the field to the original television show. Thus, it makes sense to give the late Mr. Nimoy's namesake a formation important to modern astronomy.
Tales of Berseria Announced for PlayStation 3 and PS4
Bandai Namco Games has lifted the lid on a Tales of Berseria, which will be coming to both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 in Japan.
During its Tales of Festival (via Siliconera), the publisher revealed that this new installment will star a female lead named Velvet, who is voiced by Rina Satou and designed by Mutsumi Inomata.
While this new JRPG is currently only confirmed for release in Japan, the Tales series is no stranger to the west, so there's a good chance this game will eventually make its way to those in other territories. After all, Tales of Xillia 2 made its way to North America last year and Tales of Zesteria looms on the horizon.
Game of Thrones Photo Preview: “The Dance of Dragons”
It feels like "Hardhome" just happened, but it's already time for another episode of Game of Thrones. "The Dance of Dragons" is the penultimate installment of Season 5. Jon Snow will return to The Wall with the survivors of Hardhome. It will be interesting to see how learning about the attack of so many Walkers will affect the Night's Watch and whether it will change anyone's minds about Jon as their leader.
Over in Braavos, Mace Tyrell visits the Iron Bank. Remember, Cersei Lannister sent Meryn Trant with Mace and Meryn is on Arya's to murder list because he killed Syrio Forel. The synopsis also teases that Arya runs into someone from her past so it seems likely we'll see her cross paths with Meryn.
