May 1st's killing of Osama Bin Laden has spawned numerous memes, and the Abbottabad mission shows no sign of leaving the news any time soon. Now to get in on the action, independent game developer Kuma Games has put together a first-person shooter based on the mission to kill the terror chief.
The number of times loose lips get people into trouble, you'd think people would learn wouldn't you? The culprit this time is one Craig Fairbrass, a voice actor for the two current Modern Warfare games. In an interview with UK radio station talkSPORT, the voice of Ghost and Gaz let slip that he's currently working on a big game that's reportedly costing $200m to make. That narrows it down then!
Yes you read that right ! The countdown to the next in the award winning Call of Duty series has begun! The developers behind Call of Duty, Activision, has started sending out dogtags which has the URL www.findmakarov.com printed on it.
Activision today has announced that their smash hit Call Of Duty: Black Ops title has top one-billion dollar sales in just six weeks since launch.
PC gamers used to get the absolute best games back in the day. I’m talking about pre-PS2 days here. The days when, if you wanted the best version of a multiplatform game, it was the PC that reviewers pointed to. This has, in most cases, completely reversed now. Publishers and developers prefer gaming consoles instead of PC because of the relatively less piracy and the greater demand. This issue can be seen in all its glory in the recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops.
Activision’s FPS Call of Duty: Black Ops has made a record $650 million US Dollars in sales in just 5 days since its launch, setting a new entertainment industry record. Even we at Redmond Pie got hold of the Xbox 360 version of the game due to its sheer awesomeness.
Probably the most anticipated game of this year for the Xbox 360, Halo Reach has been leaked a month ahead of it’s official scheduled launch date (September 14th). Previously, both the Halo 2 and Halo 3 from Halo franchise were also leaked in a similar fashion before their official scheduled launch dates.
In a surprising move, instead of taking on Nintendo DS line of portable gaming, Sony takes a shot at Apple and its iPhone / iOS gaming system by calling it “that isn't built for big boy games, that is built for texting your grandma and calling your girl”. Seriously Sony? you are comparing a full-fledged portable gaming console to a multi-functional smartphone? Something is surely not right at Sony, they are probably thinking that they have missed their opportunity at cell phone gaming market with a possible PlayStation Phone. And so now they want us to believe that paying for old PSP collection at $10 is better than paying for App Store games on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
