MINI-REVIEW: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered

Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare has bundles of the game for sale that include a remastered version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. They dropped the 4 in the title of the new game for some reason, and released it as “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered.” I picked up one of the bundles that included the remaster and just finished a veteran run through it, so I think a mini-review may be warranted as a follow-up to my Infinite Warfare review. So what is included in...

REVIEW: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare

Call of Duty is a series that seems to get less interesting every year in some way or another. When games as visually rich as these ones hit, you start to feel fatigued after a few years because they all end up looking the same. They look good… but they look the same. I don’t like to knock the visual presentation of games much because I think modern gaming has given us the best looking titles we could hope for. With games like Call of Duty being released annually...

Review: Guitar Hero Live – Reinvigorating Rocking

We’ve all had the plastic instrument phase. That time in your life where you did nothing for days on end besides mash away on your plastic guitar listening to the same four or five songs on repeat. That one Guitar Hero or Rockband game will always be your favorite, and those four or five songs remain engraved in your mind forever, always coming back to you when you pick up that familiar plastic instrument once more. For most of us, playing Guitar Hero is like riding a...

Black Ops 3 DLC & Beta-First On Playstation

Sony E3 2015 marks the worldwide reveal of Call of Duty: Black Op 3’s campaign. Treyarch’s popular iteration to the Call of Duty franchise is being shown off on a Sony stage! Call of Duty appearing on the main stage of a Sony Press conference is a first for the franchise, but a pattern when compared to Activision and Sony’s treatment of Destiny and its DLC. Black Ops 3 multiplayer trailer was also revealed, complete with wall-running, teleporting, and...

Exclusive: Hands-on with Guitar Hero Live

Just when you thought Activision had beaten the Guitar Hero franchise to death, much like a couple of its other franchises, the rise of new consoles is a valid enough reason to bring back plastic instruments and the music game genre. With Rock Band 4 serving as some serious competition, can Guitar Hero Live differentiate itself and feel like a new experience? After being one of the first to go hands on with Guitar Hero Live in New York City, I would have to say the answer is...

Is @CallofDuty Having A Creative Blast With Their Tweets?

Earlier today CallOfDuty’s Twitter had a weird sense of reflection of people not showing up for work after partying all night; seems like Deja Vu of what you go through every day, right? this is crap.

The “D” in Destiny is for Disappointment

Let me start by saying that there are a lot of really good things about Destiny. I do like the game. I’ve hit level 20 and completed all of the story missions. I played a significant amount of the competitive multiplayer and even there the game is exceptionally good. The supercharged abilities add a nice wrinkle to competitive play especially in the objective mode Control, which is like Conquest in Battlefield. The game plays extremely well. The controls are tight and the...

Activision releases “Actual Ghosts” DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts

In spite of April tomfoolery, Activision steamed forward and stealth released a new DLC pack for Call of Duty: Ghosts. The DLC, named Actual Ghosts, does not have a price but rather runic symbols that feel familiar despite being untranslatable. We can expect to see a patch soon though as we are hearing cases of a glitch that causes your system to scream ceaselessly upon downloading Actual Ghosts. It contains 666 new maps, 664 of them being a single cell that your character...
