PAX 2011: Prototype 2 Preview
In: Articles by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
25 Aug 2011Alex Mercer just won’t die. At least that’s what I took away from an introductory video shown before a demo of Prototype 2 at a pre-PAX Activision event. In the video, the military group Blackwatch explains its with Mercer, basically that it thought him dead twice and wa proven wrong both times. So perhaps it’s [...]

Guitar Hero Laid to Rest
In: Articles by Anthony McGill
17 Feb 2011Well, we told you so, Activision. Just as they have slowly beaten the Tony Hawk franchise to death, Activision has literally driven Guitar Hero into the ground. It was bound to happen eventually. I guess no one hired an economist to tell him how saturation affects the market.

Review: Black Ops: Multiplayer
In: Reviews by Miguel "DaddyGamer" Gonzaga
15 Dec 2010Come on. Walk out. I know he’s coming, but he won’t see me. I’m a ghost. My M16’s suppressor is my guarantee behind this bush. Wait? Dang it! I hear dogs. Crap! I’m dead. If you’re playing Call of Duty: Black Ops, this scenario has become all too familiar. Surprisingly, game developer Treyarch found ways [...]

Review: Call of Duty: Black Ops
In: Reviews by Dave "Holy Goalie" Gardner
11 Dec 2010Though it didn’t have the hype of Halo Reach, Call of Duty Black Ops did get quite a large amount of press, and the lines were so long on launch day, I had to leave and go back to get my copy. So does it live up to the hype ?

Free Black Ops Gear for Female Xbox Live Avatars
In: Articles by Nick "Alsop Live" Dinicola
15 Nov 2010If you bought the Hardened or Prestige versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops for the 360, you’d find a voucher for some free Xbox Avatar outfits. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), Activision messed up and didn’t print a code for female Avatars on the voucher. To make up for the mistake the publisher created two universal [...]

The FPS Subscription Model: Why Everyone is Right
In: Articles by Nicholas "Heartbreak Ridge" Sylvain
5 Aug 2010Since Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick is definitely on the short list of the most despised people in gaming, his words tend to garner an inordinate amount of attention. So, when in mid-June 2010 he mentioned in an interview that he wished Call of Duty would be an online subscription service, naturally the internets exploded. [...]
Feds Rule Hacking Your DRM Is Legal
In: Articles by Edie Sellers
26 Jul 2010Sometimes the good guys win. And today, that kind of win happened. Today, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that owners of video games and other disk- and software-based media have the legal right to circumvent security features on their material — as long as they don’t pirate. It beggers logic that we’d need a [...]
