Not a ghost town Now that the servers are live on Xbox One, I had a chance to sit down with the newestCall of Dutyand test out both next-gen versions of the game. I’m pleased to report that they not only have feature parity with the PC version (and thus, don’t feel gimped like on 360 and PS3), but the visuals are markedly improved, and online play is much smoother than anyCODgame before it....
And more fun making Perfect Dark I never likedPerfect Darkas much asGoldenEye, but it had its legion of fans, and this Did You Know Gaming episode is easily worth watching, no matter where you fall on the issue. One of the game’s designers, Duncan Botwood, was chosen to actually play the character in the original by way of mocap. He wore high heels, an experience he ultimately deemed “not a good memory....
I don’t know about you, but I am anxiously awaiting the chance to live out my fantasies of cooperative zombie survival inLeft 4 Dead. Unfortunately, it seems as though there’s something of a delay happening. Originally slated for a November 4th release, Valve president Gabe Newell stated in an interview at Leipzig that the game will be available a little bit later than that. The wait time isn’t significantly increased, however, as he says the game will be hitting stores on the 20th instead....

Well, cloud streaming, of course! Starting today withLOTRO(D&D Onlineis coming soon), Gaikai is going to be streaming MMOs for the first time ever through its cloud streaming technology, which is similar to how OnLive makes it work. Downloading MMOs has always been a pain simply because they have ended up being huge downloads, and if you stopped playing them for a good amount of time, that’s a significant portion of your hard drive wasted....
If you want me to completely lose my sh*t over a new 3DS game, the formula is: combine new, modern gameplay elements with a passionate respect for my favorite games of old. It worked forSuper Marioon the 3DS, and it’s working forResident Evil: Revelations. This is the game that I wishResident Evil 5had been. I actually had my doubts about the game, as I wasn’t sure that Capcom would really commit to takingResident Evil 4‘s action-friendly engine and fusing horror-focused pacing and the style ofResident Evil 1....
Black Ops 3 pared down on last gen The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One have already been out for two years but still games as whopping and recent asMetal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Painhave been releasing on the “last generation” of systems. The same goes for perennial money-makerCall of Duty. There’s a caveat to that, though, espoused in a recentCall of Dutycommunityblog post: the last-gen versions of the game will not include a single-player campaign....
Spoilers? Mario Tennis Acesis slowly approaching its June 22 release date on Switch, and we haven’t heard much about it outside of several splashes of info from various Nintendo Directs and such.

Over on the Geo-Online marketplace you can find an officialAcesbag, a piece of merchandise that is adorned with badges representing characters....
I know you’re pissed about thepricing of those PlayStation Vita memory cards, but there’s more to them than just data storage, says Sony. Sony’s Muneki Shimada told Watch Impress that they went with their own proprietary memory cards instead of the more popular SD or other options to ensure an equal user experience for everyone. He noted that these fancy cards of theirs also addresses security concerns. Supposedly these cards will ensure the security of the Vita, according to theinterview....
‘We do not want to monetize on people’s frustration’ Magicka: Wizard Warsis Paradox Interactive’s take on the MOBA genre. While most companies have had trouble getting a foothold in the market thanks to how dominatingLeague of LegendsandDota 2are,Wizard Warslooks to have a better chance establishing itself with how it’s offering more bite-sized MOBA battles. “It looks like we’re jumping on the MOBA bandwagon as the same time as everyone else, which I see how it looks from the outside, CEO of Paradox Interactive, Fredrik Wester, told me at their annual showcase last month....
Updated: May 25, 2025 We looked for new codes! “Man, I was born in the wrong era,” I say with the zeal of a ten-year-old on an 80’s rock YouTube compilation. If you, too, yearn for medieval times,Pilgrammedis as good as the real deal. This massive RPG will take you on a winding adventure across an immersive, whimsical world. Sadly, medieval times come packaged with a ton of downsides, such as getting killed by thieves, getting killed by a bear, and getting killed by the elusive Cactus Man....
