Call of Dutyhas plenty of iconic maps, but perhaps none are more popular than Nuketown. While it was always expected that it would arrive in Treyarch’sBlack Ops 6at some point, eagle eyes have already spotted in the game ahead of release. During theBlack Ops 6reveal atCall of Duty Direct, Treyarch gave us not only a glimpse at the game’s new movement features andround-based Zombiesbut also showed off an early look at the UI....
Electronic Arts and Crytek are gearing up for aCrysis 2media blowout, having premiered a teaser trailer for the game live in New York City’s Time Square last night. The teaser (shown above in glorious shaky cam) doesn’t show off much, so don’t expect to get blown away or anything. It does point to a Web site,sosnewyork.com. What’s this? It’s a countdown to Friday… of course. What’s happening Friday? Oh, I know the answer to this one!...
Capture the Chicken I had a great discussion with some of my fellow action fans in the comments to myDevil’s Thirdreview, and came to the conclusion that even though the game itself is underwhelming, I’d still recommend it to the diehards. After all,it’s a collector’s itemalready in physical form, so there’s definitelysomethingthere. But really, the game’s true star is the multiplayer element, and this week, it hosts a brand new “Chickens” mode that ushers in some delightfully unique fun into the generally homogenized shooter plane....
Another remaster? Dishonoredhad plenty of legs after its release. Like most AAA games it had DLC, and even a Game of the Year Edition release. Now, you may be able to play it on current-gen systems. According to a listing from the Brazilian Advisory Rating Board, aDishonored: Definitive Editionhas been classified. We can only assume that it will arrive on the PS4 and Xbox One with all the DLC (which is better than the main game in my book) in tow....
The Total Rush Takeover 2 objective is live inEA FC 25, and you can earn some amazing rewards by grinding out the Rush mode. Like last week, EA Sports has released a fresh objective set with multiple tasks. Completing them will earn you different rewards, which vary between player picks and SP. While the player picks can land you some great cards (if you’re lucky), the SP will help you to complete the seasonal track....
Lovely Some were hoping to hear any semblance of a window for theFinal Fantasy VII Remakeproject during theFinal Fantasy30th anniversary ceremony this morning, but alas, all we got was a piece of art. A cool piece of art, sure, but nothing concrete on how the project is progressing. Let’s put it this way — they’re confident enough in how things are going to show us new artwork? Yay, I guess? Either way this one is going to be along wait, especially since it’s coming in episodes....
Cameras steal your soul The hits keep coming withZelda: Breath of the Wild. Having a new DLC drop helps reinvigorate interest for sure, but folks are finding all sorts of random Easter eggs and tricks in the base game. Stuff like this amazing camera strip from Pyrofruit, which gradually showcases the sense of dread this Goron feels after being continuously captured on camera. So how do you actually trigger this overwhelming terror?...
Draws first blood on PC, PS4, Xbox One I’ve coveredTembo the Badass Elephantonly once— back when it was unveiled in March — and the side-scrolling action game is nearly ready for us with a July 21 launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. Nice to not drown in promotional materials, for once, although I wonder how much that’ll affect sales. As a Sega-published Game Freak project, this had my attention by default....
Yep, because that’s a thing. In other news, we played videogames this week, as per usual. If you want to find out which ones, all you have to do is hit the jump. Easy, right!? Holmes:GotArt Style: Rotozoaearlier in the week. It’s fun, but nothing mind-blowing, and certainly far from the best of the Art Style series. As for older games, had a non-gaming friend over, and after watchingPonyo, we playedNoby Noby Boyand theBit....

It’s set for a summer release on Nintendo Switch As an easy-on-the-eyes golf game for Nintendo Switch,Golf Storylooks promising. But there’s more to it than that, and I think that’s how it’ll be able to win over folks who aren’t typically into sports games — say, for example, people who were big intoMario Golffor Game Boy Color. Golf Storyshould scratch a very specific itch with everything surrounding the actual golfing. Or, as Ray said in our Slack, “I’m unironically gonna buy a Switch for a fucking golf game now aren’t I....

The Battle Pass updates are already arriving After the surprise launch ofHalo Infinitemultiplayer earlier this week, players rushed onto the servers. Only, they soon found that their progression inHalo Infinitewasn’t really going ahead at a steady rate. 343 Industriesacknowledged this pretty fast, and just as quick, they’ve already released the first updates toHalo Infiniteprogression. And after spending a little time with it last night and speaking to others, it’s a conflicting result for me....
