With its single-player story campaign, the first-person shooting game, which is out today for PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and PCs on Battle.net Somehow, the Russians swiped a U.S. nuke in 1968 and now that mistake has come back to haunt the Reagan Administration. That trip back in time nets intelligence needed to track Perseus, a Soviet mastermind who aims to use the bomb to attack the U.S. The search takes your character across the globe with stops in a Berlin still separated by the wall, Cuba, the Ukraine, Russia, and even into the heart of KGB headquarters. That nerve-wracking mission within the security agency is only one of many mind games awaiting players in this highly-entertaining sequel to 2010's "Call of Duty: Black Ops." In that earlier game, you played primarily as Alex Mason, a CIA operator who we learned was brainwashed by the Soviets.

The Nintendo Switch has become about as difficult to find as toilet paper and hand sanitizer. Prices for the video game console are surging on the secondary market. Netflix, Hulu and Disney Plus can only hold attention for so long. And video games have never been so versatile, or appealed to such a range of ages. Much like the Nintendo Switch itself, which can seamlessly "switch" from being played on televisions to a handheld experience, modern video game systems are more than they may appear.

The Atari VCS, a new video game system that plays 100-plus games originally played on the '70s console, is due in spring 2019. Pre-orders starting at $199 begin May 30. As video game fans get excited about PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch games during this week's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), a classic name is poised for a comeback. Atari announced Tuesday its VCS video game system will open up for preorders this week, with retailers GameStop and Walmart serving as exclusive partners. Pricing for the console starts at $249.99, with a top price of $389.99 for system bundles, reads a press release from Atari.

The PlayStation 4 Pro will be available for $399 on Nov. 10. Could PlayStation 5 be on its way? Aside from the speculation that continues to bubble up, another sign that a successor to the hugely successful PlayStation 4 is imminent: Sales of the nearly 6-year-old video game system dipped this past holiday season. Sales of Sony's PS4 system fell 10 percent during the October-December period, the electronics giant said Friday. Sony sold 8.1 million PS4s during its fiscal third quarter, down from 9 million in the same quarter a year ago.

The Atari VCS, a new video game system that plays 100-plus games originally played on the '70s console, is due in spring 2019. Pre-orders starting at $199 begin May 30. The retro video game trend is gaining extra life. Just as a rebooted Atari is set to begin taking pre-orders Wednesday for a modern version of its classic '70s video game system, Atari's old rival Intellivision is re-emerging, too. Originally introduced in 1980 by Mattel, the Intellivision video game system battled it out in the market with the Atari 2600.

Terrell asked one of his siblings to go to the basement to look for lighter fluid, and when the brother returned upstairs he saw Terrell stabbing King in the neck, prosecutors said. Terrell used a garbage cart to move King to a nearby abandoned house and set his body on fire before fleeing to Chicago, they said.

Older video game systems are hot on the resale market as collectors seek items no longer in production. Are you sitting on a forgotten-gadget goldmine? Dusty video game systems, old TVs and record players, and abandoned iPods often seem like trash. "Vintage electronics are hot sellers," says Jordan Barnes, senior director for resale app Mercari. For instance, over the past 90 days, interest in the original Nintendo's GameBoy, Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Micro game players have surged to more than 200,000 searches, with sale prices topping $90, he says.

There's another Super Nintendo on the block, and this one means business. Not the lucrative sort Nintendo's sold out Super NES Classic seems to be doing as availability bulletins circulate like whispers of a ghost. Nor the steady sort Nintendo's handheld 3DS has been up to for years, dishing up choice SNES downloads by way of its Virtual Console. But business the way an audio engineer means when retooling decades-old tunes for playback on modern audio hardware. Or as a film preservationist does when cleaning and converting acetate film to digital ones and zeroes. It's called the Super Nt, plays some of the medium's most treasured games (like Super Mario World and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past), and judging from the literature its Seattle-based boutique hardware-maker sent over, it's poised to be a Super Nintendo nonpareil.
