At today’s Call of Duty: Black Ops live event, Treyarch showed off the new “wager” matches and four new modes of play. As somebody who pledges allegiance to Infinity Ward, I have to say that Black Ops is looking very, very good.

Ever wonder what it would be like to terrorize the streets of Liberty City from a first-person perspective?  Wonder no longer.  Thanks to a mod created for the PC version, you can experience it yourself.

From this new perspective Liberty City definitely looks more alive.  Minute details are more visable as even the inside of a Burger shot looks impressive while weapon fire effects are closer, thus more noticeable. It’s obvious from this youtube video that combat and driving are more challenging.

Gearbox Software has officially announced the “Game of the Year Edition” of Borderlands via Twitter, confirming the re-release for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on October 12.

far cry 3

Two Swedish game retailers, Webhallen and the localised version of ‘GAME’, have listed Far Cry 3 for release in “2010″.

The listing on GAME’s website simply notes: “Rumor says that this time the game will be played out in Africa but with an even larger world and with a completely updated Dunia engine.

“More information will follow closer to launch.”

Although both retailers list the game for 2010, we’ve not had any confirmation of this news. It seems odd for the game to ..read the full article

“Camelot…Camelot…Camelot! It’s only a model.” Team Fortress 2 pays homage to Monty Python with it’s own rendition of “Knights of the Round Table” from geek classic “The Holy Grail”.

Not coincidently, earlier this week Team Fortress players were treated to a new Python inspired weapon- the Holy Hand Grenade.  One has to Wonder what comes next…The Knights who say “Ni”?

robostitute

An ESRB listing for Fallout: New Vegas has revealed that the game will heavily suggest (but not show on-screen) robotic hanky-panky. There’s also a Robot named ‘Fisto.’

“Fisto reporting for duty . . . Please assume the position,” is just one of the brilliant phrases you’ll hear, as listed by the ratings board. There’s also these two beauties: “I suppose I should test you out . . . Servos active!” and “Something wrong with someone if they got to f**k a ..read the full article

Bohemia Interactive have announced today that their “British Armed Forces” content pack for ARMA 2 has been released, and is available for download.

The DLC adds “a new campaign, numerous single missions and a brand new faction and environment,” and of course letting you play as the finest army in the entire world. No, not Al-Qaeda, that’s in Medal of Honor. It’s the British Army, of course.

You can grab the DLC here but unfortunately due to technical hitches the ..read the full article

Halo_reach Wow…just wow!  While I admit to not being the biggest Halo Fan, the stunning new Halo: Reach trailer “Deliver Hope” has made a believer out of me!  Microsoft has always marketed Halo very well and “Deliver Hope” carries on in this grand tradition.   Halo: Reach explodes to retailers on September 14th. Watch the trailer below:

resistance-3 The highly anticipated PlayStation 3 Sci-fi shooter Resistance 3 has been confirmed a 2011 release.  After posting a no-show at E3 earlier this summer, many fans and industry experts were left scratching their heads.  Last week at Gamescom the sequel was officially announced along with an exciting live action trailer.   Today, in response to fan inquiry, developer Insomniac announced ”Resistance 3 is a 2011 release” via twitter.  The tweet continued to say there is “more to come” but it will not be unveiled at ..read the full article

halo-reach-trailer

Co-op is obviously a big deal in Halo: Reach, as it’s more squad- based than previous Halo titles. It’s not always easy to find a buddy that’s ready to play with you, so Bungie is adding Live matchmaking to the mix. You’ll be able to join up with complete strangers to play through the campaign. I’ve got mixed feelings about this. I mean, while it’s cool that there will always be someone to play with, how often would you really want ..read the full article

Treyarch have already announced dedicated servers for Call of Duty: Black Ops, but there’s another pleasant surprise for PC gamers- the game will be getting a developer console and the ability to mod the game.

In a post in the official forums by a developer, Treyarch have confirmed that they “plan to open the game up for modding sometime post-launch.”

The developer noted, however, that they’re not sure of the capabilities modders will have: “We do not know yet to what extent ..read the full article

New Left 4 Dead Expansion Lets You Choose Who Will Live Or Die

The Sacrifice, new DLC for both Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, was revealed today by Valve. The DLC will be compatible with both games, so no matter which one you have, you’ll be able to play it.

The new DLC follows the survivors from the original campaign, and fills in the gap between the end of the first game and The Passing DLC for Left 4 Dead 2. The game is done from the perspective of the original game’s cast, ..read the full article

I’ve now decided that Team Fortress 2 fan art is the best fan art. Sure, there’s a lot of great stuff out there for a lot of other games, but I don’t think any other title consistently produces such quality artwork. It must be a combination of the game’s awesome character design and great sense of humor that just makes it really fun to draw. But what do I know? I’m not a drawer. I’m a worder.

Halo Reach 540x235

In order to make Halo: Reach available to reviewers, Microsoft recently placed a review copy on their servers. Reviewers can download the game for $1,250. However, by placing the game on their servers, Microsoft also opened up the game to be hacked and downloaded. The download was supposed to require a special code, provided by Microsoft.   However, hackers were able to find their way around that, and download the game at will. Game spoilers have appeared all over the place, ..read the full article

If you haven’t seen the new Metroid: Other M TV Spot, then what are you waiting for? It seriously is one of the most awesome TV Spots for a game I’ve seen in a while. The trailer is more than a little reminiscent of Halo 3 and Gears of War Trailers, with a dismal, slow-motion backdrop overlaid with narration and sad music. Just because the trailer’s style isn’t new, however, doesn’t mean it isn’t amazing. If you weren’t excited for ..read the full article

I find it a little odd that Team Fortress 2, a game with already excellent character design, inspires so much fan art. Why not take an ugly game and make it look awesome? Maybe the good character design is what makes people want to recreate it? Whatever the case, this Team Fortress 2 medic looks delightful and mischievous.

If you didn’t see Resistance 3 coming from a mile away, then you need to work on your skills of deduction. Sony and Insomniac would be stupid not to release a second sequel to the blockbuster hit from 2006. While I’ll be waiting with baited breath for a good look at the shooter, for now, Sony has dropped a live-action teaser trailer for the game at Gamescom. (Excuse the poor quality, as it was ripped straight from a feed of ..read the full article
