ChromeAlchemist breaks down Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s Mind Stone
One of the unique things that Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite brings to the table are the Infinity Stones (or Infinity Gems, if you’re a comic purist). Originally seen in 1995’s Marvel Super Heroes, the stones in Infinite expand on their original concept by providing not one, but two abilities: an Infinity Surge that can be used freely, and an Infinity Storm that burns up the Infinity gauge.
In a new video, Chrome Alchemist takes a closer look at one of these Stones: the Mind Stone. Here, he takes a look at the properties of both its command grab-esque Infinity Surge, as well as its meter building Infinity Storm, showing off some things that may not be obvious just from watching the gameplay footage that we’ve seen so far.
Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite launches on September 19 for PlayStation 4, XBox One, and PC.

Crowfall – Looking Ahead & Learning from the Past
In 2008 the MMORPG world was graced with Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. Like Crowfall, WAR had been highly anticipated prior to release and was offering up some very innovative ideas, many of which were highlighted in charismatic updates by Paul Barnett. Being a spiritual successor to Dark Age of Camelot, WAR was often spoken of with elation among members of the DAoC playerbase who saw it as an opportunity to reinvent the revolutionary systems of its antiquated predecessor.

One of the best things about a popular game is the data that grows up around it. It’s fascinating to look at the opinions of top players, especially when it’s all collected together like this. It’s fun to talk about who you think the best character in the game is — this data tells you for sure…
Extra Frame:
Go home and be a holy man with this Fight of Gods combo roundup
After adding in the religious big boys Buddha and Jesus (but unsurprisingly shying away from touching anything related to Islam) and becoming available via Steam Early Access, this odd and increasingly controversial fighter is suddenly getting a lot attention; its gameplay mechanics are also broken, or maybe just too “godlike” for mere mortals.
Destiny 2 – Rumor Confirmed: Curse of Osiris Featured on XBox Store
Updating our story from last week, it appears that the rumored Destiny 2 expansion, Curse of Osiris, is indeed true. The XBox Store is featuring a page for the expansion with details, though no pricing information.
The Malaysian government has blocked Steam itself to stop sales of Fight of Gods
In a story of Biblical proportions, the Malaysian government has blocked citizens from accessing Steam, in order to stop people playing Fight of Gods. This comes after the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission called for the ban and removal of the heavenly fighter from Steam.
In a statement issued by publisher PQube, the Malaysian government has made no attempt to contact either them or developer Digital Crafter over Fight of Gods, with them only learning about the Steam block via secondary sources. While both PQube and Digital Crafter are of course disappointed by the ruling, they are currently working with Steam to resolve the issue and hopefully, get the service unblocked. You can read the full statement below:
Fight of Gods is a video game that takes a humorous approach to religion in the same way that other entertainment formats have – across television, film, books and theatre. The game is not promoting any religious agenda and is not designed to offend.
The description of the game on the digital platforms through which it is distributed provide clear guidance on the nature of the game and its content so that people can freely choose whether or not to play it. We fully respect the choice of those who would not wish to play it. We are disappointed that such freedom of choice is not given to everyone and in particular that the game has been forcibly removed from sale in Malaysia, although no direct communication has been received by us as to the reasons for this.
Nevertheless we respect any rules and censorship imposed in any given territory. We have reached out to Steam and are working with them to resolve the situation as soon as possible.
