News We Really, Really, Really Hope James Bond 007: Blood Stone Is Good
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...
News DJ Hero 2 Doubles Up The "D-D-D-D-Dictionary" Button This October
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",...

Activision's CEO Bobby Kotick (a
k.a.the most hated man in the video game industry) has said that the upcoming Call Of Duty: Black Ops will be getting the biggest investment the company has ever made in a game launch.

News DJ Hero 2's Multiplayer Is Vast, Exciting
DJ Hero is a party game

Last year Activision announced a collector's edition to end all collector's editions

News Call Of Duty Subscription Fees Debunked Once Again
Yesterday we posted a video which seemed to suggest that Modern Warfare 2 (and presumably the franchise as a whole) was on the verge of getting some kind of subscription fee

News Introducing James Bond 007: Blood Stone, All-Racing, All-Shooting Action From Bizarre Creations
If ever we had a weakness, file it under James Bond games
We were probably the only publication who genuinely loved (and played to death) the last James Bond game, Quantum Of Solace. So good. Perhaps then, our excitement for James Bond 007: Blood Stone should be tempered a little. GoldenEye aside, Bond games aren't traditionally good. But they are...

For a while now we've been discussing how the fallout from Infinity Ward might affect the team from Treyarch...
News You Know How You Thought DJ Hero Bombed? Nuh-Uh!
We liked DJ Hero
We liked DJ Hero a lot actually. We bought it launch day. Launch day! Y'know, when it cost like a bajillion pounds. It had an understandably slow start, debuting at number 20 on the UK charts and managing to shift just 122k units in the US during its launch month. The game had legs though. Probably in thanks to numerous price cuts,...

News Activision Talking To Hasbro About More Transformers Games

E3 2010 Sorry PlayStation 3 Owners, Microsoft's Locked Down Call Of Duty DLC
Do you know what's totally not a big announcement? Timed exclusive DLC
In fact, it's one of my personal pet-hates in this video game industry. A timed exclusive — for DLC. Really? Does that have any factor in purchasing intent. When it comes to Call Of Duty, the answer is, probably, yes. So it was with a wry smile Microsoft announced they have...
