Call Of Duty Online Is An Online Call Of Duty Game

Posted on Jul 6, 2012 10:00:18 AM

Amazingly, ‘Call of Duty Online’ didn’t actually exist before now. They’re surely the most inevitable word-sequence in the world, after all. Even so, “free to play micro transaction first person action game” CODO isn’t for us.

Medal Of Honor Warfighter Is Impervious To Bullets

Posted on Jun 27, 2012 10:00:43 AM

I’ve always found it curious that Medal of Honor Warfighter‘s title is singular. Well, OK, first I found it curious that anyone would name a game “Warfighter,” but – based on the numbers these things do.

Here’s 20 Minutes of Dead Space 3 Being All Dead Space-y, or Something

Posted on Jun 26, 2012 10:00:23 AM

I know Dead Space is a popular franchise that I need to cover, but I know less than nothing about it, and I don’t have any real desire to learn anything about it, so instead of making a bunch of incorrect generalizations about this lengthy look at Dead Space 3, I’m just going to post it for the people who care and shut the hell up.

Posted on Jun 22, 2012 10:00:39 AM

Aha, I was a bit worried this might not see a PC release. Weird on both counts, given PC was originally its lead platform and, well,
it’s a pretty boring game so it’s strange that I’d care. Absent makes the heart grow less exasperated, I suppose. Yes, Doom 3 BFG, complete with new sections, improved levels, tuned controls, added checkpoints and sweet mother of God a mounted-flashlight, will be out on PC. When?

Ghost Of Recon Past: Ground Branch Kickstarter

Posted on Jun 20, 2012 11:12:27 AM

Today’s FPS games rarely last long on my hard drive, stuffed as it is with maps, dice and musty tomes of history retold. It’s more than a decade since my deathmatch days , which makes me feel indescribably ancient.

Just Cause 2 Gets Multiplayer!

Posted on Jun 19, 2012 06:50:02 PM

People loved Just Cause 2. With all the crazy grappling/parachuting/action-stunting in Avalanche Studios’ 2010 hit, why wouldn’t they?
