That, understandably, upset fans of the first, while making a bunch of new ones. So how does Bioware keep everybody happy with the third game? ... [»]
I love the Assassin’s Creed Franchise. Well, I fell in love with it after the second game, at any rate. Since then? There’s been a new Assassin’s Creed game every year and it seems that Ubisoft is only too happy to annualise the series.

Usually, when you buy content on Xbox Live it locks itself to both the profile that bought it, and the hardware itself - so you can usually log in with any profile on that same machine and play whatever DLC, maps or extras were purchased.

According to Rebellion's ... [»]
Love or hate the franchise, there’s no denying that Call of Duty is here to stay. With studios dedicated towards pumping out annual titles, Activision has been basking in the success of their favourite franchise, seeing as how last years Modern Warfare 3 has netted the publisher over a billion dollars so far.
Of course, the military gravy train can’t keep chugging along forever as ... [»]
Colour me surprised but how did Activision create a huge service like Call of Duty Elite and not have an iOS application ready to go at the start? It just seems like an obvious addition to what is already quite an intriguing service. But what’s important is that ... [»]

It seems that your favourite games may just be in breach of certain real world laws, specifically the Geneva Convention and Hague protocols. Yes, as ridiculous as it sounds, the online millions of players who regularly engage in a few vigorous games of “shoot ‘em up and teabag ‘em when they’re down”, in certain realistic contemporary wartime shooters, has drawn the attention of ...

You’ve got to hand it to Activision, they really know how to put together an advertising campaign. The first trailer for Modern Warfare 3 featured the manly Sam Worthington and the slightly less round Jonah Hill duking it out with international militias, as real world representations of the Call of Duty characters, all to the tune of some great AC/DC ...

Speaking to GameInformer, 5th Cell boss Jeremiah Slaczka claimed that "The $60 boxed game is a broken model.” Continuing, he said "It was always broken, it's just ... [»]
