There was no doubt that Treyarch and Activision’s latest entry into the Call of Duty series was going to sell incredibly well. The game had high pre-order numbers and a huge amount of hype, but not very many people expected the game to be bigger than Modern Warfare 2’s 4.7 million first day sales last year. It turns out they wrong by about a million copies. Earlier today Activision revealed that Tuesday’s launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops saw 5....

So you’ve mined Halo: Reach for all the fun you could possibly have. You’ve capped your Halo: Reach rank, you’ve created several fun maps in ForgeWorld, and you’ve even discovered the secret racing mini-game, and now you are wondering what’s next. Well, Bungie’s got you covered with a new map pack set for release before the end of next month. Releasing on November 30, the Noble Map Pack will bring three new maps to the Reach populace, just in time for you to test out many of the new playlists that will be added with the next update....

In an effort to help gamers cope with the delay of the highly anticipated LittleBigPlanet 2, Sony has pulled the curtain back on several goodies for PlayStation Network starring Sackboy. Today’s PlayStation Blog post unveils Sony’s plans to expand LittleBigPlanet 2’s beta test, launch an LBP2 demo, and they even announced a new game entitled Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves, exclusive to PSN. Sackboy’s Prehistoric Moves is a cooperative experience, enriched with Sony’s PlayStation Move peripheral....

One of the great things about the large install base of the Nintendo DS is that it lets publishers feel confident that an obscure game in an obscure genre can find some sort of audience among the millions of people who own the system. One title that will hopefully find its audience is the adventure game Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (999). Developed in Japan by Chun Soft and published in the U....

When it comes to sports games they usually occur in one of two forms: over-the-top or simulation. Tony Hawk: SHRED seems to be Activision moving as far as they can from simulation by delivering huge air and steep slopes. Can’t wait to break out your new motion-sensing board controller and grinding some rails? Then head on over to the SHRED website to take your game to the next level. Tony Hawk used to have a tight stranglehold on the skateboard game genre a while back but, after Skate entered the fray, he lost a lot of his pull....

When we cross that line into college applications, there comes a day when we all must decide what we want to do with us. Some will become doctors, many will drop out, but a select few of us are just the right blend of nerdiness to pursue a history degree. Those of us who make the cut tend to be refined creatures with sophisticated tastes. We’re the ones who pick up on small details and tell our friends why the games we’re playing actually matter....

Luigi is back and ready to bust more ghosts. Inside the ghost-filled hotel of Luigi’s Mansion 3, it’s going to take every tool at Luigi’s disposal to save Mario and friends from the evil ghouls. While it seems that much of Luigi’s success comes from dumb luck, that doesn’t have to be the case for you. Luigi may have been tricked into this escapade and didn’t have time to prepare, you came here intentionally and can properly prepare yourself fro this haunted adventure....

DC Universe Online originally launched way back in January 2011, but it has remained a healthy entry into the MMORPG scene ever since (and just released for the Nintendo Switch!). The thrill of being your very own character in the world of DC Comics is a beautiful feeling, and the game manages to capitalize on that to great effect. But as a new player, there is going to be a learning curve, perhaps more than a lot of other, simpler MMORPG’s out there....

It’s time to put Red Dead Redemption II down in order to sink countless hours into Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu and or Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee. Whatever version you choose you’re bound to have a good time. Not a great time. I’m baffled in the enjoyment I’m getting out of it as I don’t think it’s all that amazing. It’s kind of cool revisiting Pokémon Yellow in a new context, but without that nostalgia pushing me through it has a lot of problems....

One of the biggest games in the industry right now is without a doubt, Fortnite. People everywhere have flocked to this game and YouTube has been littered with videos of people streaming themselves playing. Fortnite has no doubt become one of the best games out there today because even if you don’t ever get a win, it’s still an adventure every time. Not to mention the fact that every six or seven weeks a new season is released and changes to the maps are made, making it almost like a whole new game....

Yoshi’s Crafted World came out at the end of March 2019, and I for one have not been able to stop playing it. Nintendo once again outdid themselves, delivering an adorable Yoshi game that plays with your expectations. Available on the Nintendo Switch, Yoshi’s Crafted World has already gained thousands of fans. Much like Yoshi’s Woolly World, which came out in 2015 (no, I can’t believe it’s been four years either,) Yoshi’s Crafted World transports you to a fun, colorful universe that’s full of secrets and surprises....

When a game is good, you’re willing to forgive some of the garbage nonsense that comes with it. After all, if you can’t get past some of the mistakes that lay at the game’s foundation, then you probably just wasted 30+ dollars. But we’ve all been there and luckily, YouTube has solved this issue for us. You can pretty much watch any gameplay you want. You can probably just watch someone play an entire game if you want....

For a game that requires accuracy and language proficiency, blind guesses are not going to cut it for those looking to overcome the daily puzzles in Wordle. The use of calculated guesses to help narrow down the field is a better approach. In this guide, we’ll go through all of the 5-letter words starting with G and ending in T to give you a good idea of where to start and aid you on the quest to maintain your streak....

Hit survival horde crafting game 7 Days to Die will launch on PS4 and Xbox One this June as part of Telltale Games’ new publishing partnership initiative. Dallas-based indie studio and creator of the game, The Fun Pimps, is working with Telltale to make the port happen. The game is set in an unforgiving post-apocalyptic open-world overrun by the undead. The game blends first person shooter, survival horror, tower defense, and role-playing games....

Are you trying to get all the latest working codes for Roblox A Hero’s Destiny? You’ve come to the right location if that’s the case. We’ll go into all of the working codes today, as well as how to use them. Further down the page, you’ll see a list of expired codes. Since the game was released recently, there aren’t many codes yet, but we’ll have more for you shortly....

THQ Nordic has cheekily revealed that a new South Park game is on the way from the publisher. The news came right at the very end of the publisher’s THQ Digital Showcase over the weekend. Just as the hosts had signed off and the ending logo had appeared, a message appeared on the screen. “As of today, THQ Nordic (HandyGames not included) has 43 games in development,” it read. “Thereof 26 still unannounced AFTER this showcase....

Medieval rat-’em-up A Plague Tale: Innocence has received eight minutes of uncut, rodent-infested gameplay footage for your viewing pleasure. If you haven’t been keeping up with Asobo Studio’s upcoming grisly adventure game, A Plague Tale sees gamers guiding siblings Amicia and Hugo through war-torn France, avoiding members of the Inquisition and flesh-hungry rats that swarm the scarred, corpse-ridden landscape. A Plague Tale requires you to carefully avoid confrontations by utilising the environment and stealth to your advantage....

Co-op platformer It Takes Two was widely praised by critics when it launched last March, even managing to secure a place in many an end-of-year best-of list in 2021; more than that, though, it’s continued to resonate with players, and developer Hazelight Studios has now announced the game has surpassed the five million sales mark across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. It Takes Two, if you’re unfamiliar, follows the adventures of Cody and May, a human couple preparing to divorce, who are forced to work together after being turned into living dolls....

Everyone loves to hate on massive publishers, but it’s hard to deny how many beloved video games those companies are actually responsible for. And while Activision-Blizzard has certainly taken actions worthy of drawing the ire of gamers, it appears that it’s regaining some confidence, at least as far as Wall Street is concerned. Activision-Blizzard’s stock has grown by more than 20% since August 14th, largely due to the recent release of World of Warcraft Classic and Overwatch’s upcoming Nintendo Switch port, both of which bolster user bases and open new lanes for monetization....

Update: It seems it was a tad bit too early to break out the champagne. That’s because Activision Blizzard, Inc.’s shares fell by around nine percent just after making their historic announcement. Bloomberg analysts cited that sales were a bit “slow” — we did mention that, even though Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 banked $500 million in three days, that wasn’t enough to dethrone Black Ops 2, which made roughly the same amount in just a single day....
