Darryn Bonthuys - March 29th, 2012 | A year in gaming just wouldn’t be complete without a new, annual version of the long-running Call of Duty series, and with Activision having wrapped up their Modern Warfare trilogy, it’s time to once again delve deeper into one of their other in-game universes.

| Skylanders was meant to be “dark and gritty” | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 13th, 2012 | The bright, colourful and ultimately kid-focused money-trap Skylanders is probably one of the best games available for younger gamers today. The use of physical toys that come to “life” inside of a videogame is nothing short of genius - and one of my favourite ways to spend a Saturday morning with my kids. It could have been completely different. “It was going ... [»] |

Gavin Mannion - March 13th, 2012 | One of the parts of the gaming industry that I don’t really enjoy is the amount of fake news that fans make and attempt to flog off onto the unsuspecting public.

| Activision: We’re innovating, honest! | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 15th, 2012 | Activision has been accused of killing innovation in games, and pumping out rehashes of the same games every year. It’s what killed Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk - though it doesn’t seem to be doing a damned thing to stop each annual Call of Duty from topping the sales charts. Activision Publishing’s CEO Eric Hirschberg says that claim is nonsense. "It's simply a fallacy to say that we're not innovating, ... [»] |

| Activision says new Call of Duty looks “fantastic,” full of innovation | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 10th, 2012 | With two sets of developers working pretty much all the time, there’s a new Call of Duty every year. It makes sense for publisher Activision to do this; every year, the new Call of Duty ends up decimating the previous year’s sales tally. As the biggest property in the world’s biggest entertainment industry, there’s no denying that Call of Duty makes money - and of course there’s be ... [»] |
