5 theories to solve an armour-plated mystery rolled up in an enigma.

The Metroid series is now in its 35th year, and over that lengthy period of time Nintendo has happily elaborated on everything from its star's childhood to flappy parent-killing nightmare Ridley, Metroids, Chozo, and even creepy Phazon-created evil clone. In short, virtually every avenue of lore you can think of has been explained, elaborated upon, over-elaborated on in a sequel, and then given a well-defined slot in the expansive Metroid canon.

All except for one. The exact workings of Samus' Morph Ball ability — a staple of the series from the first few minutes of the first game — remain shrouded in mystery. Official information remains conspicuously absent on the finer details of this ubiquitous skill. "Collect this to give Samus the Morph Ball ability", "Press this to make her roll into a ball" say the games no matter the format, as if such plain instruction could ever quench our thirst for sci-fi ball-related morphing knowledge.

     Choo-Choo Charles is a train-based horror game with an evil clown-spider train

It's Halloween month and a new indie horror game has been announced, and it's something a little different - and terrifying. Choo-Choo Charles from Two Star Games is a game about maintaining a train and using it to fight an evil murderous clown-faced spider-train that wants to eat you. It's Stephen King's It meets Thomas the Tank Engine.

Every time a game gets released with mod support, the first thing that gets added is a Thomas the Tank Engine mod - it's like a running joke at this point, but some are scarier than others. Two Star seems to have taken this murderous train concept and mixed it with the final clown-spider form of Pennywise in Stephen King's It - with a bit of another lesser-known King monster in there too, Charlie The Choo-Choo.

As for the game itself - which is available to wishlist on Steam with a release date of Q1 2022 - Choo-Choo Charles is a first-person horror game set on an island where players are continually stalked by the spider-train Charles.

     Injustice 2 inspired Harley Quinn's The Suicide Squad look

The Suicide Squad movie director James Gunn has revealed that NetherRealm's Injustice 2 inspired a key piece of the movie's marketing - Harley Quinn's red and black outfit, which appears on all the posters despite it only featuring in the movie for a few minutes.

It was reported earlier this year, after the first trailer released, that Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) would be wearing an outfit in The Suicide Squad based on her look in the Batman: Arkham games - according to James Gunn. In retrospect, this may have been an error on director James Gunn's part, since the outfit is blatantly Harley's from Injustice 2.

Some fans noticed that The Suicide Squad actually featured NetherRealm Studios in the "thank you" section of the end credits, which was theorised as possibly having a connection to Injustice 3. However, James Gunn has finally revealed the simpler truth regarding Injustice 2's connection to The Suicide Squad and how the game inspired the iconic look of Harley Quinn.
