Our latest look atBlack Ops IIgives us a behind-the-scenes taste of what David S. Goyer (co-writer ofThe Dark Knight), and Trent Reznor are bringing to the table in Treyarch’s next big shooter. From everythingwe’ve been shown sincethe initial reveal, the story inBlack Ops IIlooks to be the best offering yet in aCall of Dutygame.

The Binding of Isaacis a deceptively long game if it’s full completion you’re after. I’m at 25 hours and I know that’s nothing. Edmund McMillen recentlystarted workingon a new expansion, “Wrath of the Lamb,” that will add more of everything (and extras) while retaining the game’s structure. McMillen hassmartly saidthis three-dollar expansion will be done when it’s done, though he suspects we won’t get to play “for months.” Truth be told, many of us won’t need anything else to go on besides knowing this is an extension of the same fantastic game....

Ten years later, a new power has taken control of Rapture, Little Sisters have been brought back into the city and new enemies await that Jack wouldn’t be able to survive against in this new order of Rapture....

While there are still three weeks between the start ofInto the Lightand the full Brave Arsenal, Bungie’s willingness to reverse this unpopular decision is a victory within itself.

Developer addresses ‘real threats’ leveled at employees Bungie has been proactively dialing back its interaction with social media and public forums in the wake of constant harassment, abuse, and threats leveled at the studio and its employees. Speakingin a conversation on theDestinyReddit, community manager Dylan “dmg04” Gafner confirmed that steady streams of abuse from community members — many of which went beyond “rude replies on Twitter or vague comments” and into the realm of “real threats” directed toward both individual employees and the company as a whole — has led to the studio putting up a new wall, so to speak, in order to prevent the physical and mental welfare of its staff....
