State of the Industry – The Rising Costs of Game Development

9Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 – A Well Crafted and Familiar Experience With Game Of The Year Cred

“The more that things change, the more they stay the same.” -Rush Well, another year, another Call of Duty game. Now before you ask, no it will not change your mind if you were resistant to Activision’s cash cow before (Actually, I’m sure it is a full blown money farm at this point).  For the rest of you, there is still plenty of COD goodness that fans love –and haters hate- that will be enough to cut your teeth on. And while the game does suffer some of...

Players Purchase Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Get Mass Effect 2 Instead?

IGN’s Andrew Garfep Goldfarb has reported that players that have purchased the PC version of Call of Duty Black Ops 2 are ending up with Mass Effect 2.

Transformers:Fall of Cybertron gets Peter Cullen and Gregg Berger #FTW

Activision, despite its many flaws as a large corporation being operated (allegedly) by Satan himself, can actually make some decent decisions that does not involve milking their cash cows until the proverbial financial udder spews forth just mere air and dust. So it is with happiness that I can let the folks at home know that Peter Cullen, THE VOICE for Optimus Prime and Gregg Berger, THE VOICE for Grimlock will reprise their roles as their respective Transformer avatars in...
