Strategy guide publishers Brady Games are the latest to say, "Yo, Call Of Duty: Black Ops is going to have zombies in it

" Retailers had already kinda let the cat out of the bag earlier in the year; but now the game's official strategy guide blurb makes a note of the "relentless Nazi zombie horde." Boom. Boom. Boom. 'Cited?

Activision's just sent us a press release that's got us screaming like the little PopJustice fanboys we are -- every single mix in DJ Hero 2's roster

Squeeeeee. It looks so good. There's a bit of Tiesto, bit of Guetta, and plenty of GaGa. Hell yes folks. Hit the jump for the full shebang. S'gonna be great. The game's gonna be available in a range of bundles. You'll be able to get a massive £150..

Say what you will about Bizarre Creations upcoming Bond product, James Bond 007: Blood Stone, they seem to have all the right elements in place to make a really faithful product

There's shooting, stealth, driving and, as detailed in this trailer, hand-to-hand combat. If they can get all the gameplay elements to mesh well, they could have a really satisfying Bond experience to their name. We..

Bungie's announced that they've started work on a new engine for their next multiplatform project for Activision

Brian Jarrard told Develop that Bungie "don't want to develop a game off someone else's IP" and as such will be constructing their own technology in the same way. According to Jarrard, the engine's already in its early stages: "Yeah, [the new engine is] actually in..

In Japan, you will not see parts of human beings been blown apart in Call Of Duty: Black Ops

That's because the game's been issued a CERO Z rating (think adults rating) with the "brutal or grotesque portrayal" of limbs removed. Boom. That's the end of that. Of course Japanese lurkers, it's worth noting that the PlayStation 3 is region free... You could import it. Yes.

James Bond 007: Blood Stone is going to be out later in the year, and it sounds like quite an exciting package

It's a brand new story; with shooting, stealth and driving and there's multiplayer. According to Bizarre, the multiplayer's designed for 16-players, and is based around team objectives. Hopefully this makes use of Blood Stone's various mechanics (vehicles, stealth, combat). If so, it could..

Activision's announced a November release date for their car-combat title, Blood Drive, and

.. We don't really care. Ok, ok, so it's unlikely to amount to anything amazing without the guidance of David Jaffe, but whatever, we suppose it could be cool. Afterall, there has been a serious lack of car combat games in recent years. Blood Drive sounds a little like an arena version of MegaRace actually..

With the massive Call Of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer blow out last night, you might be forgiven for thinking that Activision's blown their load

They haven't — there's plenty more to announce according to developers Treyarch. One such element, is Call Of Duty: Black Ops' co-op mode. While we already know zombies will make an appearance in some manner, community manager Josh Olin was keen to stress..

We can't help but get more and more excited about Call Of Duty: Black Ops

We were one of the first websites to put some serious backing behind Treyarch, and insist that they might actually outdo the good, but over-rated Modern Warfare 2. Going by the details coming out of last night's Black Ops multiplayer reveal, we couldn't feel more comfortable about our prediction. And that's because Treyarch..

If you're Japanese and a fan of shooters, you might want to give Call Of Duty: Black Ops some consideration before you go out and order a copy

Square Enix, the game's publisher in Japan, have committed to two separate SKUs for the title. The first version - which will be available on November 18th - will be a simple sub-titled version of the Western game. The second version, however, won't arrive..

Activision's released an extended version of the James Bond 007: Blood Stone trailer from last week

The new trailer shows Bond driving through the streets of Istanbul and shooting-up some bad guys. The visuals look a bit rough, but truth be told, we have high hopes for this game. Hopefully Bizarre Creations can deliver the goods. They've yet to really disappoint me this generation.

Activision's dropped the bass--erm, the setlist for their upcoming DJ-'em-up sequel, DJ Hero 2

Among the artists features are Basement Jaxx, Chic, Lady GaGa and Timbaland. Naturally we're pretty stoked. This is the only music game we're excited for this Fall (sorry SingStar: Dance) and it looks like it's going to be killer. Get the full list after the jump. And imagine the party you could be having..

There's no Bond movie this year

It feels like there should be. Quantum Of Solace was ages ago, and we're now being told that there won't even be a Bond movie in 2012 due to financial difficulties. Frankly, it makes us sick. We need Bond. So it's with lofty expectation that we wish, pray, demand and hope Bizarre Creations can deliver with their upcoming video game James Bond 007: Blood Stone. This..

In high school we used to have these keyboards with a "Dictionary" mode on them

Nobody really remembers what the button did because we were all too busy pressing it multiple times to notice. Y'see, the button used to have a voice sample attached to it, which made for some fantastic rhythmic manipulation: "D-D-D-D-D-D-Dict-D-Dictionary", we'd go. Good times. We're telling you this story..

Update @ 13:02: Treyarch's just confirmed on Twitter that Black Ops will indeed feature zombie co-op

The four maps included with the Hardened and Prestige editions of Black Ops are throw-backs to the original World At War zombie settings. Original story: Treyarch's been pretty tight-lipped about the return of their popular zombie horde mode in Call Of Duty: Black Ops. We know the game's going to..

In the original DJ Hero you played tracks and that was about it really

In DJ Hero 2, that's set to change. Freestyle games are introducing a massive career mode called "Empire", in which you'll pick a brand and location and watch your DJ turn into a super-star as your reputation grows. It sounds like a cool way to flesh out the dry experience of simply playing tracks for stars. We're..

How do you top Modern Warfare 2's insane collector's edition (which featured night vision goggles if you'd forgotten) -- you throw in a remote controlled car of course

Yup, we all saw the detonating cars in the game's multiplayer trailer. Well now you can own one of the little gizmos yourself, as part of Call Of Duty: Black Ops' premium Prestige Edition. The special edition packs set to launch..

Activision's teased the very first look at Call Of Duty: Black Ops' multiplayer component, and it echoes everything we've said about Treyarch's latest attempt at the prestigious shooter franchise -- they're genuinely poised to knock it out of the park with this one

There's tons to pick out of this trailer: exploding crossbow arrows, maps that take place around a launching space-craft, knives with..

While pro-snowboarder Shaun White is living it up in Ubisoft's new skateboarding game, pro-skateboarder Tony Hawk is set to hit the ice in the upcoming Tony Hawk: Shred; Robomodo's latest attempt at Activision waning board franchise

Shred, which can be played with last year's ill-fated Ride board, will put players on both skateboards and snowboards. At least visually the cartoony look gives the..
