Black Ops II - Revolution [ Review ]

Treyarch and Activision have four different DLC packs on the way for Black Ops II. The first one was just recently released, over two months after the launch of the core game. Revolution promises a genesis for Black Ops II and Call of Duty DLC. Do they deliver on that promise?

Black Knight Sword [ Review ]

Goichi Suda, better known as the Japanese game designer Suda 51, has become known as that guy who comes up with those quirky games that combines action-packed gameplay with weird premises and tons of pop culture references stuffed into them. Black Knight Sword may or may not be the same as the previous Suda51 offerings, depending on which detail you decide to focus on. Riding on Suda 51's reputation doesn't necessarily make for a good game, although it does make for quite an aesthetic experience. Perhaps what separates Black Knight Sword from his other creations is that it's a sidescrolling action [...More ]

Call of Duty: Black Ops II [ Review ]

By this time, plenty of detractors have gone on about "the sad state of affairs" in the gaming market, especially since the mainstream now has set conventions that big companies are more or less afraid to step out of. This is pretty much the case with modern military FPS games, and the recent releases in this genre have been used as examples of this supposed decline. The franchise that set the trend for the mainstream in the first place now has a new title out, which is one of the most anticipated releases of 2012, and it does enough to [...More ]

Call of Duty: Black Ops II Multiplayer Trailer Analysis

It may have seen better days, but it is undeniable that the multiplayer in Call of Duty is the bread and butter of the franchise.

E3 2012 Report Card: Microsoft (Halo 4 and Splinter Cell: Black List!)
