Adi Tantimedh writes, Another year, another Call of Duty game This year it's Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, set in the future and starring Kevin Spacey as Jonathan Irons, the head of the a Private Military Corporation that drives the story, providing you the player with all kinds of fancy gear with which to kill people[...]

But what if non-violence wasn't a form of weakness in a game? Or was a logical, easier, and more rewarding option than killing? What if action games trusted your brain more than your aim? If violence were taken off the table and replaced with other, more creative, and actually more realistic means of conflict resolution[...]

The Destiny First Look alpha started players out at level four, with the potential for growth to level eight.  That was fine, it was a first look, the equivalent to an extended E3 demo in my eyes.  But the beta  tried to change things up by showing what the experience is like from level one[...]

By Jared Cornelius It's 12 PM on a Tuesday and I enter the parking lot of a dilapidated strip mall with only one thing on my mind, video games.  I park near a row of cars with stick figure families proudly displayed in every back window and begin my trek to the most wonderful of stores.  A place where only[...]

By Jared Cornelius So this week, the Wolfenstein series gets a reboot courtesy of Bethesda Softworks and I couldn't be happier.  It's not because I'm a huge Wolfenstein fan, or I'm starved for content, it's because Wolfenstein is a single player shooter with no multiplayer.  As of this writing I have no idea if Wolfenstein is[...]

The whole story is at least as complicated as the history of the Marvel Universe. Unlike the rah-rah attitude about war in games like Call of Duty, the Metal Gear Solid series have always been deeply ambivalent This is demonstrated even in its fundamental design, which is to encourage stealth and bypassing enemies rather than rushing[...]

While you can explore three game modes with three different pilot class and three different Titans on two different maps, the player will rapidly feel pretty familiar with everything. Let's not beat around the bush, Titanfall is a FPS in all it's glory; if you've never been a fan of Call of Duty, Battlefield, Halo or[...]

Patrick Dane writes for Bleeding Cool Another Christmas season approaches, so yet another Call of Duty creeps its way onto millions of games consoles* Here is a new trailer directed by Guy Ritchie and very briefly starring Robert Downey Jr., that seems to be really trying to sell the multiplayer side of the game. I remember some[...]

Then it's back to the fighting.' According to some preliminary figures I just received from Bleeding Cool Labs The Expendables 2 has just over 117% more fighting than that. In the first 30 seconds, there's enough gun porn in The Expendables 2 to last the average Call Of Duty fanatic a lifetime It starts with a genuinely[...]

When the CALL OF DUTY series makes more money in sales in a shorter time than most Hollywood blockbuster movies, everyone takes notice And typical of media industries, when they hit upon a winning formula, they'll keep tapping it until it's dead, then panic when there's nothing to replace it The sheer[...]

What struck me most about Act of Valour is how closely it resembles the experience of watching someone else play a warzone-based first-person shooter like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This is mainly down to the way it was shot, with an emphasis during action scenes on a gun-mounted camera angle that forces you into the[...]
