As the year closes out, fans are finally diving into this year’s offering of Call of Duty multiplayer. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War brings players back to the Cold War setting, albeit a few decades later in the timeline. Compared to its predecessors, Black Ops Cold War’s map selection for multiplayer is a bit thinner at launch than some fans may have expected. Clocking in at eight main multiplayer maps, as well as two additional maps exclusive to Fireteam modes, Black Ops Cold War offers one of the smallest map lineups in Call of Duty history....

Not every Call of Duty entry is created equal, and this is especially applicable where gore is concerned. However, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare does allow players to dismember opponents with special rounds, leading to a gory mess. In specific, there are special weapons that players can use against each other that will lead to dismemberment. This is true for both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s standard multiplayer modes and the Warzone multiplayer mode....

As many are stuck at home due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Activision and Infinity Ward have been providing players plenty to do with double XP weekends in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone.

Players in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare continue to find new and interesting ways to complete the objective. While some Modern Warfare fans take the game as a serious tactical simulation, others seem to have a more free approach to their strategy.

When paired with the ongoing hacking and cheating issues, many players seem to be reaching their breaking point....

Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5’s trailer has officially released giving fans a clear image of what is in store for the next season.

Like past games in the series, Call of Duty: WW2’s Nazi Zombies mode lets players upgrade their weapons using a Pack-A-Punch device. And as returning fans may expect, reaching the Pack-A-Punch in Call of Duty: WW2 is not straightforward, and has some steps that need completed before players can access it. To find the Pack-A-Punch, or Weapon Upgrade Station, on Call of Duty: WW2’s The Final Reich map, the first step is switching on the power....

In most instances, cheaters make online gaming an unpleasant experience for others, by giving the cheater major advantages over those who are playing fairly.

Speaking in a Call of Duty Mobile Reddit thread, a representative noted that, “If we see cheating we will enforce on it with our Security & Enforcement Policy in mind....

Though he spent a lot of time bed-ridden in the hospital, he was able to find joy through video games, particularly the Call of Duty series.

A new Assassin’s Creed VR title is in development, which gives a chance to explore Leonardo da Vinci’s workshop, but it may never release to fans. Although 2016 didn’t see a new Assassin’s Creed title launch, and there has been little in the way of a future game announcement so far this year, it seems that Ubisoft has developed a virtual reality title that is set in the franchise’s universe. It might not be the VR assassin game of our dreams, but the company has created a co-op escape room that is set inside Leonardo da Vinci’s workshop....

Destiny 2 has come upon us and it is glorious. I write this for you after playing a crap ton since release to share what I have learned about this long-awaited sequel. To preface this list, I would like to mention that I wrote this with all levels of players in mind.

With the advancement of technology, game developers no longer need to join a large company. They have access to various software well-established developers are using and can learn how to utilize them with tutorials online. With hard work and determination, anyone can make a video game.

Anybody who has played some of Valve’s most famous franchises knows that Valve can’t seem to count to three. While the company frequently delivers strong sequels to its most famous games, it never follows them up with a third game. One of these franchises is Left 4 Dead, which got two blockbuster games before suddenly falling off the radar. Left 4 Dead has no shortage of fans to this day, and many of them still hold out hope that Valve will make Left 4 Dead 3 someday....

The developer’s last release was Batman: Arkham VR which first released for PlayStation VR in October 2016, but the company has been laying low ever since.

Rocksteady Studios has now taken to Twitter to tease its upcoming project, giving fans plenty of reasons to get excited....

In a world where things feel like they’re spinning out of control and everything is chaos, it can be quite comforting to watch Bruce Wayne put on a rubber suit and punch bad guys in the face. It’s why Batman movies have been a staple of the moviegoing diet for more than 30 years. That doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon, and even with The Batman’s film production currently delayed, there’s already a richly diverse cinematic legacy of Dark Knight content to choose from: serious dramatic movies, campy comedy movies, animated adventures, and bleak live-action team-ups, to name but a few....

It’s commonplace for gamers to voice their displeasure with game developers when a game experiences issues. That’s happened a lot recently. Some of these gamers even go so far as to call for players to avoid purchasing or playing a game to show their collective disapproval to a developer and publisher. Most of these calls to action tend to get lost in the pages of Facebook, Reddit, and other social media channels, with many of these troubled games still making strong sales, despite glaring issues....

There are a lot of hard games on the NES, but few have become as notorious for their difficulty as Battletoads. From front to back, this 8-bit beat ’em up platformer is a continuum between challenging and cruel. Level 3 in particular will likely evoke memories of broken controllers to anyone who’s played through the game, mainly because of the dreaded Turbo Tunnel. Well, today it seems the famed Turbo Tunnel has finally met its match in a speedrunner who managed to clear the level blindfolded, all without losing a single life....
