Guitar Hero Live has held my curiosity since it was announced. While the package is not offering quite the deal that Rock Band 4 is, it's at least giving

Developer Treyarch famously started the Call of Duty zombie craze with World at War. Since then the mode has been a regular feature in most games in the

The industry appears to be on a big infographic influx of late. Every other games is throwing out an infographic about arbitrary statistics that

There is really nothing quite like the success the franchise has enjoyed. To illustrate that, Activision have released this infographic spanning all the games from 2010 That is Black Ops, Modern Warfare 3, Black Ops II, Ghosts, and Advanced Warfare. There are really some insane stats at play here too Over 300 Billion grenades thrown? 100 Billion[...]
