There will be a new entry in the Transformers: War For Cybertron story-arc in 2012

The first War For Cybertron launched earlier this year and was well received due to its reverence for the original Transformers plot and characters. It was also pretty fun to play, but it did have some difficulty and technical issues. Nothing a sequel can't fix though. Transformers will get a movie tie-in before the..

Treyarch's detailed a list of updates heading to Call Of Duty: Black Ops on the PlayStation 3

The pipeline updates, posted by community manager Josh Olin, include improved matchmaking, host selection, tweaks to the party functionality and fixes for erroneous weekly and monthly leaderboards statistics. There's more information through here.

MCV's gone live with some numbers for Call Of Duty: Black Ops' first 24 hours on sale

According to the site Black Ops sold 1.4 million units in its first day on sale in the UK, raking in £58 million in revenue. Activision revealed yesterday that Black Ops sold 5.6 million units over its first day in the USA and UK, leaving about 4.2 million sales over the same period in North America. Pretty..

Activision's Thomas Tippl has told an audience at an industry conference in New York that 2011 will bring the company's "largest digital offering ever" in the form of Call Of Duty DLC

Over-priced map packs are what you always wanted, right? Still, Tippl's remarks support comments made by publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg, when he claimed last week that Activision would offer "the Call of Duty..

Guess what readers? Call Of Duty: Black Ops made a lot of money within its first 24 hours on sale

The Treyarch developed shooter eclipsed Modern Warfare 2's sales records,  scoring the world's largest entertainment launch with opening day revenue of $360 million in the US and UK alone. The total destroyed Modern Warfare 2's margin of $310 million over the same period according to Activision's..

.. Because they've got to top that stupid Modern Warfare 2 plot somehow! Call Of Duty: Black Ops has hardly had time to settle on store shelves but already Gamasutra's running a rumour that suggests Sledgehammer will take the CoD franchise into space next year. Sledgehammer have been pretty public about their work with the Call Of Duty franchise, with gaffer Glen Schofield (of Dead Space fame)..

So, regardless of your current location in the world, you should be able to buy a copy of Call Of Duty: Black Ops

The latest in the franchise from Treyarch has been all over the media for the past 24 hours, and now we can finally play it. We want to know if you went to a midnight launch, if you've booked the day off work and what your first impressions are. The reviews have been rolling all..

The first fifteen minutes of Call Of Duty: Black Ops have hit the 'Net

If you can't wait the five or so hours required to actually, y'know, buy the game, then we've embedded the footage after the jump. Obviously, if you want to go into the game fresh then don't watch this footage. It's unbelievable how people will actively watch a video labelled "The First Fifteen Minutes Of Game X" and..

If you're not sad social enough to head down to London's massive Call Of Duty: Black Ops launch event tonight, don't worry: Activision's streaming the whole thing on their Facebook page

They're also pledging to upload plenty of images and information from the premiere which is set to feature plenty of celebrities and nerds fans. Heck, even the BBC are talking about it. Jump into the comments and..

We've noticed a fair bit of traffic coming into PushSquare via the search phrase "Where can I get Call Of Duty: Black Ops cheap?" Seeing as it's the time of year when every supermarket and mainstream retailer tries to undercut each other, we thought we'd give you a helping hand

The cheapest price for Call Of Duty: Black Ops seems to be at Blockbuster. They'll sell you the game for a minuscule..

There's a soldier in all of us apparently

At least, that's the point this live action Call Of Duty: Black Ops advertisement is trying to get across. It features Jimmy Kimmel and Kobe Bryant. They are people you've probably heard of if you live in North America. (Honestly, we do know who they are here in Britain. Just about.) The thing about the advert is, it's all a bit dumb. But in an absolutely..

Transformers: War For Cybertron was a good game, but it lacked the polish to carry it through the year

We played it obsessively for about three weeks, but we haven't touched it since. Still, it feels like there's a great Transformers game dying to get out of Activision, so it's great to see them commit to another game in the franchise. As well as a new Transformers game, Activision's also revealed..

If you're in the UK, then you'll know that it's around this time of year when retailers fight over who can sell the biggest video games for the lowest prices

It looks like Call Of Duty: Black Ops is the game to spark pricing fisticuffs this year, with HMV offering the game for a lowly £7.99 when you trade in EA's Medal Of Honor. Considering Black Ops' RRP is a whopping £54.99, that's quite a..

Square Enix -- who are bizarrely handling publishing duties on Call Of Duty: Black Ops in Japan -- have confirmed that certain elements of the localized first-person shooter will be cut in order for the title to see release

This includes Nazi references, as well as a particularly brutal interrogation scene. The game's due worldwide next week. Get hype.

We suppose we have a weakness to anything with James Bond on the cover

The last PlayStation 3 Bond game, Quantum Of Solace, was pretty rubbish. But we still found ourselves ploughing in the 30 hours or so needed to get the Platinum trophy. It's because it's got Bond on the box. Even though Activision appears dead-set on burying James Bond 007: Blood Stone, we can't help but feel a little excited..

Well Treyarch, take your seat on the throne

Looks like you've earned your place in the Call Of Duty elite. We still need to actually, y'know, play Call Of Duty: Black Ops to make sure but, man, we don't think we've ever been this excited for a Call Of Duty game. Infinity Ward — certainly as we knew them — are gone, and it looks like it's time for Treyarch to take their place as the premium Call..

Call Of Duty fans are crazy

They play one game all year round — imagine that! As such, they're itching for information about Call Of Duty: Black Ops, and we've got some information on the game's multiplayer maps. Just the titles for now, mind. Enjoy!</em>

Has a Call Of Duty protagonist ever talked? We're sure they have, but we can't think of particular instance

Sure, Soap ended up talking in Modern Warfare 2, but we don't think he ever said anything when he was the main character of Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Either way, as far as we can remember, Call Of Duty protagonists are pretty mute. Call Of Duty: Black Ops will change all that..

In "Gun Game" - one of Call Of Duty: Black Ops' new multiplayer game types - every kill matters

Not for your precious KDR or XP statistics, but because every kill rewards you with a new weapon. This new footage which has leaked onto YouTube shows the new game-type in action, and it looks like a ton of fun. The player starts of with a pistol before moving up through the ranks and gradually unlocking..
