Tuesday, December 9, 2008
While I have been known to play movie based games which turn out to be not that great I’m starting to get my hopes up a little for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine game. While no trailer has been released yet there is a single high resolution screenshot that has been released and it looks gorgeous. Activision [...]

Thursday, December 4, 2008
Yesterday MTV’s Multiplayer Blog semi-officially announced that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is being developed and should be releases Fall of 2009. I’m not surprised that the most popular game of the Call of Duty series, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, is getting a sequel. I am a bit surprised they have changed [...]

Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Across the internet reports are coming in that the Guitar Hero World Tour drums are having issues. Most of these reports are complaining about the cymbals registering extra hits or the pads not registering hits unless played very hard. Today Activision confirmed that there are “sensitivity issues” with the drums and that they would be [...]

Monday, October 27, 2008
… but that won’t stop Activision (Guitar Hero publishers) from acting like children. Apparently the wording on the Rock Band games is essentially “compatible with most music game controllers”, while Activisions position is “Activision expressly prohibits the use of non-Guitar Hero controllers”… but they are still compatible. So these franchises agreed to make their devices compatible [...]

Thursday, September 11, 2008
Thank the gods, a developer that is smart enough to reuse an existing engine and add enhancements to it instead of re-writing their own in a 2-year dev cycle and having the game suffer all sorts of hickups because of it. Treyarch, the badasses behind Call of Duty 5, are working together with Activision and bringing [...]

Monday, June 23, 2008
We discussed the new Call of Duty 5: World at War trailer already, it looked pretty sharp but given the history of how lame Call of Duty 3 was (it wasn’t horrible, just very “meh”) we weren’t excited… until today. First off was the announcement by Activision that Call of Duty 5 is going to include [...]

Sunday, June 22, 2008
For those of you, like me, that saw the announcement that Call of Duty 5 was around the corner and was blown away to see a trailer this fast, and shit a brick… reel it back in a bit. Call of Duty 5 is being done by a 3rd party studio (Treyarch – The guys [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Brad Agdern sent in news that Activision has offered a complete $132 refund for Guitar Hero III for the Wii or a remastered replacement disk for folks that were put out by the audio on the Guitar Hero III not being Dolby Surround even though it was advertised as such. A pretty nice move considering the [...]
