Many developers in recent years have begun taking advantage of the holiday season to add a bit of festivity to games, whether it be by means of new cosmetics, or adding Christmas decorations and winter themes to a particular map. With the success of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and the mainstream attention its new battle royale mode, Blackout, has received since launch, Treyarch might be giving players a reason to jump back in for a new update in the near future....

EE and BAFTA have announced a new category for EE Game of the Year at this year’s British Academy Games Awards, which will take place in March. The new award will be voted on by the global community of gamers from a shortlist selected by a panel of experts, which includes TheGamer’s Editor-in-Chief Kirk McKeand, presided by Dr Jo Twist OBE, chair of the BAFTA Games Committee. The shortlist will be revealed later this month along with details on how fans can vote....

Back in 2020, Bungie placed some Destiny 2’s content into the Destiny Content Vault, which includes various raids. The Destiny Content Vault rendered the content inaccessible to Destiny players for the time being while Bungie updates them and gradually reintroduces it all back into the game. While some players were upset by this decision, Bungie maintained that its decision to do so would benefit the game and the respective content....

Bungie’s planned epic new franchise Destiny might be designed to appeal to even the most novitiate of players, but based on what we’ve been told already the premise is hardcore sci-fi. The game takes place seven hundred years in the future and puts the player in the shoes of a hero whose civilization has been ripped apart by an invading force, saved from extinction only by the intervention of a mysterious entity known as the Traveller – an enormous alien sphere that descended to Earth and remains, silently watching, as the remnants of the planet’s population build a new city in its shadow....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies is one of the most fan-loved game mode options within the title. With the release of every new Call of Duty comes a hidden hope that Zombies will see another chapter. Although Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War made some massive changes to the Zombies formula, the developers are offering a new event that is a first for the franchise. There is a ton of secrets hidden within the Dark Aether storyline....

The first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War content arrives on Wednesday, and Activision has posted a trailer fully detailing the Season 1 Battle Pass. Highlighting new operator Stitch as well as the additional weapons, the action-packed trailer gives players an idea of the most exciting things to unlock during the first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The trailer opens with a focus on the new operator Stitch, though with Stitch and Adler’s history highlighted in a previous trailer, the operator is only briefly mentioned in this one....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War releases a new trailer unveiling details about upcoming Season 2 content. Zombies, action, and a new operator fill the themes of this upcoming season as players come face-to-face with a horde of undead. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War may be moving on from its Rebirth island storyline, but that does not mean the two epidemics are not connected by a thin thread....

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s multiplayer is designed in a way to facilitate epic moments. Each battle that players fight in offers fans a chance to show off their skills. Modern Warfare simply gives players the tools they need to fully embrace their inner talents. In this case, a player shows that they can hit a target with a throwing knife, and this time, with unexpected results. Throwing knives, by nature, stop in the first target, but this perfectly timed example gives the appearance of something else....

The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare community is abuzz with discussion about Activision’s decision to postpone the release of Season 4. After a Twitter announcement that Season 4 would be delayed, the Modern Warfare community accepted the decision supporting Activision’s stand of solidarity with protestors. It has been over a week since the announcement, and no new information has come from Activision. Without official statements, dataminers and fan theories present possibilities to the release of Season 4....

Activision does, in fact, have the right to use Humvees as a mode of transport in their Call of Duty games, a New York federal judge ruled. AM General LLC, the Humvee manufacturer, took the publisher to court over the “unauthorized depiction” of their vehicles back in 2017, and their case was dismissed on Tuesday. AM General had claimed that Activision was knowingly infringing upon their trademark - especially since some of their promotional events for the games had a Humvee present - and that players were “deceived into believing that AM General licenses the games....

[HTML1] One of any gamer’s guilty pleasures in games like Grand Theft Auto is the ability to attack or mow down helpless NPCs in a car. While these actions are here to stay in Grand Theft Auto, what happens when a similar high-speed car gameplay mechanic is introduced to another game that doesn’t allow the player to kill people? Many gamers wondered how the developers could prevent players from mowing people down after learning that the final entry in the Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Knight, would be introducing a drivable Batmobile for the first time....

While it’s understandable that Valve’s Steam Deck is already drawing comparisons to the Nintendo Switch, the Steam Deck’s closest (and most important) comparison in the history of video game handhelds has to be the ill-fated PlayStation Vita. Released in Japan in December 2011 as the follow-up to the PSP, the PlayStation Vita was positioned to be the direct challenger to the Nintendo 3DS (which debuted earlier that year). In retrospect, though, it feels more accurate to say that the PS Vita was designed to compete with the Nintendo DS....

There is an old Hollywood myth about the “Curse of Superman”. People believed that actors who played the famous Kryptonian, or were involved in films about him, were destined for misfortune. George Reeves, who played the caped hero in the fifties, shot himself under suspicious circumstances. Christopher Reeve, one of the most recognizable iterations of the character, was thrown from a horse in 1995 and was paralyzed and died nine years later....

A lawsuit has been levied against Atari by Xbox co-creator Rob Wyatt, who claims the company did not pay him for the work he put into designing the Atari VCS console. Wyatt, who also founded The Last Gameboard, said he quit as lead architect for Atari in an interview last year, accusing them of failing to pay his company, Tin Giant, for work carried out over a six-month period. Atari hasn’t built a console for over 20 years but the idea for the VCS was put out there by Feargal Mac Conuladh in 2017....

Banners Of Ruin, now in Early Access on Steam, is the latest game from Montebearo, an independent British developer. Set in a medieval city populated by anthropomorphic woodland animals, the game tasks the players with infiltrating and destabilizing the city’s defenses, slaying troops, and eventually the captain of the city guard. To do this, players build a deck of cards that represent the various skills and armaments of their own little animal army....

The Batman Arkham series really has left a mark on the genre. After Arkham Asylum released back in 2009, it changed how we look and play superhero games. Even by today’s standards, the game and its sequels still hold up as the entire series is one of the best superhero games of all time. But what developers Rocksteady do especially well is show the players the changes that Bruce Wayne is going through....

In case you missed it the first time around, Battlefield 3 is the 11th installment of EA’s Battlefield franchise. Much like previous and current BattleField games, Battlefield 3 takes a combined-arms approach to the classic shooter, letting you jump behind the wheel of an APC or an M1 Abrams battle tank if you get tired of running around on foot. Battlefield 3 was the very height of the franchise, selling over 15 million copies by 2012....

War is never good. In war, terrible things happen to good people and innocent lives are unjustly taken. When it comes to developing an authentic war simulator, how then do you capture that harsh reality… or do you simply avoid it all together? When playing a video game in the safety and comfort of your home, using digital recreations of real-world weaponry to lay waste to perceived enemies, it becomes easy to do unrealistic things, make unnatural decisions....
