Shocking Introduction: A First Look at the New Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Maps Liberation and Piazza
By Jason Joseph at January 24, 2012 | 10:39 am | 0 Comment
It's that magical day for all you COD kids out there. That's right, "map pack" day. With the advent of Call Of Duty: Elite and the maps having been essentially prepaid for with the service, Activision/Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer have decided to release the maps individually in what I would imagine will be monthly increments instead of three map packs of 4-5 maps more...

By Jason Joseph at September 27, 2011 | 3:15 pm | 0 Comment
It has not been a particularly good year for comic book based video games. With three major releases having been released and only one of them worth buying (Captain America), it looks like X-Men Destiny is here to save the day. Developed by Silicon Knights and released through Activision, X-Men Destiny asks you to pick a side. It is the classic good vs evil RPG style more...

By Jason Joseph at April 19, 2011 | 7:47 am | 0 Comment
That's right folks, the folks at DICE are on a mission, and that mission is complete and total domination of the first person shooter genre. Based off of trailers alone, they have already won, as anyone with any measurable amount of sense that has watched half a second of any of the few minute long trailers made available and has not had their mind blown simply needs to more...
Call Of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer Maps Video Walk Through

By my present calculations, roughly 35.7% of the global population is currently pwning noobs in the wonderful world of Call Of Duty: Black Ops. If you're one of the many gamers out there still on the fence about Treyarch's latest addition to the Call Of Duty franchise, fear not, because I've got you covered. Most people buy into the Call Of Duty franchise for the vast more...
Medal Of Honor Review
By Jason Joseph at October 26, 2010 | 10:02 pm | 0 Comment
Sometimes in order to make it in this world, you need to take a step back and reinvent yourself. This is more than just a cliché for the Medal Of Honor franchise, it is the fabric of their current existence. For over 10 years, a number of the most successful games in the first person shooter genre bore the Medal Of Honor name and brought the series to a level of more...

Today Activision announced they would be working with Eutechnyx to bring NASCAR back to the video gaming world with NASCAR The Game 2011. Check out the press release below for more details, along with some car art for drivers more...
Blood Drive Says F.U. And Other Stuff

Because apparently zombie games haven't been done enough, Activision is dropping by with a new spin on the killing the undead. Literally. While they don't really show much, I think it is safe to assume this is a quasi-racing game where you compete against other players/competitors to drive around and run over zombies. This trailer kind of makes me think Twisted Metal more...
Second Round Of Transformers: War For Cybertron DLC Out Now
By Jason Joseph at September 7, 2010 | 11:18 am | 4 Comments
Maaaaaan, color me disappointed on this one. The second wave of DLC has been announced for Transformers: War For Cybertron, which by the way is definitely one of my favorite games of the year, but I am very disappointed in the character selection and price point for it. 800 MP or $9.99 on the PSN market will net you five new multiplayer maps and two new characters for more...

I have yet to truly enter the world of the PC MMORPG, but I am not oblivious of the fact that World Of Warcraft is the reigning heavyweight champion of the world. Today, Blizzard has unveiled details on the special edition of the upcoming expansion pack called Cataclysm. Since most of the details might as well be Greek to me, I would imagine having your own pet named more...

By Jason Joseph at August 16, 2010 | 9:26 am | 0 Comment
Even though the Tony Hawk Ride has been a bit of a flop so far, Activision is clearly standing behind the icon of skateboarding with his vision for the future of board gaming. Today they have announced the next chapter in the Tony Hawk video game experience with Tony Hawk: SHRED, which promises to be over the top and will allow gamers to "go big." More details after the more...

Ever since Al Gore took the initiative to create the internet in 1992, the information superhighway has been improving the lives of users worldwide in a multitude of ways once never even imagined. Gone are the days where little Jimmy from down the block had to come over with his controller to get in a killer session of Techmo Bowl, as through the advent of the world wide more...
Transformers: The War For Cybertron Review

Alright folks, a nerdgasm alert is in full effect. Nothing quite beats being a child of the 80’s, as the innovation and imagination of the era is still defining culture today. Like many dudes that grew up during that stretch (and especially in this industry), I still find myself completely addicted and fixated on the legends of my childhood. I mean, nothing beats our more...
E3 Day One Review: Nintendo
By Jason Joseph at August 10, 2010 | 1:37 pm | 0 Comment
Day one of the E3 Expo is in the books, and Tuesday was the day for the last two of the three major platforms to take the stage. Microsoft did a good job making sure that there was little pressure on Nintendo or Sony to bring the goods, but they went ahead and did their best to do it anyway. As the press conferences went on, I found myself getting lost in the moment and more...

Their contracts had been terminated by Activision, the parent company and publisher of all Infinity Ward games. Rumors began to more...
