Modern Warfare 3 Behind the Scenes of ELITE and Strike Packages
Statistics, statistics, statistics. That’s the main reason I think people will pay to have ELITE. There are other things you can do like change your classes, learn how to properly use every gun in the game, study maps and find alternative routes to objectives and STATS! I mean it looks like everything is put together really well but do you really want to pay $50 extra a year for it? Read the rest of this article…

Skyrim Live-Action Trailer
I’m all for live-action anything from videos games whether it’s a movie, commercial or anything fan made. But what you are about to witness isn’t fan made it’s an official live action trailer from Bethesda. Read the rest of this article…
Review – Fate of the World: Tipping Point – A Game about Global Warming
Fate of the World is the second game by the indie developers Red Redemption, and my first reaction was that this was going to be a green-peace-yuppie-tree-hugging-save-the-whales kind of game. The game features real-world climate data gathered by a Dr. Myles Allen of the University of Oxford, which is importnant considering the emphasis on Global Warming and the basic concept of the game is to save the Earth, from the year 2020 to 2200 and keep 50 “signature species” from going extinct, and 40 technologies to develop, as well as tipping points, like the Amazon Rain Forest collapses. Read on to see if my initial reaction is justified, or if there’s some real meat to this game. Read the rest of this article…
GameSpot’s The Controller Battlefield 3 Review
I can’t remember where I first saw the preview for this new show a couple of days ago but I remember thinking that it looks like one giant ad for Battlefield 3. Well tonight I was browsing reddit like I normally do and see an ad for the first episode so I decided to check it out and see if it’s worth it. It’s kind of a cool concept but executed poorly.
Are You Willing To Commit Yourself To World Of Warcraft For 12 Months At This Point?
Y’know, this is a really good deal. So you sign a year-long commitment to World of Warcraft with their new, limited-time Annual Pass and get Diablo 3, a crazy awesome flying mount, and access to the beta for the next expansion, Mists of Pandaria. You can’t cancel and you’ll still spend $180 over the next year. Do you do it?
Doom 4 Cancelled?
So imagine you’re id Software. You’ve just spent six years building Rage, your most ambitious game ever (which I thoroughly enjoyed). You’ve managed to fill out two more teams, one of which has been working on a new Doom game for the past few years. Your sister studios under the Zenimax/Bethesda label – which have produced exactly one decent game series: The Elder Scrolls – have been releasing stuff like Brink that reaffirm the notion that even if your game isn’t even that great, you’re still better than them. Well, Rage finally releases to mixed-to-decent reviews (much like Doom 3 did) and a botched release on your lead platform, the PC. Then Zenimax comes and tells you that you’re the bad guy here and that your new Doom game is cancelled. How would you feel?

Do We Really Need Assassin’s Creed Movies?
Well, it looks like Sony has picked up the rights to what might be a series of films based on Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed franchise. No one quite knows what the narrative will be based on, but the universe is thick enough that whatever story thread they chase should be full of meat. Before Sony locked it down, there had been a bidding war over the property, but I honestly don’t understand why the majors are diving for a property like this.
Ten Years Later, Is Grand Theft Auto 3 A Sandbox Masterpiece Or Overrated Success?
I hated Grand Theft Auto 3. At school, my friends wouldn’t shut up about it. At work, my customers wanted ‘the game where you have sex with hookers, beat them up, and take your money back’. As an Xbox fanboy in 2001, GTA3 as a PlayStation 2 exclusive was unbearable. Several sequels and plenty of successful copycats proved that it was a successful improvement and starting point for the 3D sandbox genre, but what lessons did we really learn from GTA3 and how has a decade changed my mind?
