Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 Verdict -- Did BLOPS 2 Meet Our Expectations?

Posted November 13, 2012 - By Nikole Zivalich

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Video Review »

Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has finally been released. The CoD franchise is an annual series that never fails to deliver an intense military shooter experience. But this time, Call of Duty is adding a sci-fi element that could make or break the series. Does Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 live up to our expectations?

Here's a piece of our Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 review.

Little things like the fact that some of the missions (and a multiplayer map) take place aboard an aircraft carrier named the USS Obama, and the usage of biometric identity bracelets that insert your image into advertisements aboard a luxurious floating city seem grounded in the reality of today. Then there’s all of the future tech you’ll get to play with, like wing suits and flechette guns with exploding rounds. Most of the really nifty toys aren’t available in multiplayer, giving the campaign another notch in its replayability belt.

Dead Space 3 Co-Op Hands-On Impressions -- This Is Madness!

Posted November 12, 2012 - By Nikole Zivalich

Dead Space 3 will feature drop-in and drop-out co-op. The ability to play Dead Space 3 with a buddy left some gamers in the cold. They felt having a friend by your side would take away from the game's insane horror elements. Visceral has some good news for those who had this concern.

We went hands-on with Dead Space 3 to test out the co-op.

Marker-induced madness plays a critical role here. Returning protagonist Isaac Clarke and newcomer John Carver won't always be seeing the same things as they explore Tau Volantis together. Visceral hopes that the confusion created by these conflicting perspectives will tap into a similar sort of fear that solo players take from Dead Space.

Rainbow 6: Patriots Could Be A Next-Gen Title

Posted November 12, 2012 - By Nikole Zivalich

Rainbow 6 Patriots

Ubisoft's shooter, Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6: Patriots, has been MIA since we first heard about it late in 2011. The loss of three top developers had lead some to believe Rainbow 6: Patriots was in trouble, but Ubisoft's CEO, Yves Guillemot, told Polygon the game is still in production.

"The only thing I can say is that we have a good team working on it, and it's really looking good. So when it will come, it will surprise the industry."

The not-too-surprising part of his statement included some insight on the next generation of consoles. When asked if Rainbow 6: Patriots could be a next-gen shooter, Guillemot replied, "there's a good chance it can be."

Need For Speed Most Wanted: Should You Feel The Need?

Posted November 7, 2012 - By Nikole Zivalich

Need For Speed Most Wanted Video Review »

Criterion Games may have given fans of the Burnout series and the Need for Speed series exactly what they were looking for. Need For Speed Most Wanted has a large, beautiful world to explore, fast cars to drive and real-time multiplayer that always keep you on your toes. But will its rubber-band AI keep you from taking first place?

Find out in our Need For Speed Most Wanted review.

Criterion really excels here at capturing a sense of speed, for better and for worse. At Most Wanted's most exhilarating moments you'll find yourself weaving in and out of traffic at 150+ miles per hour and feeling a massive sense of accomplishment when that momentum carries you across the finish line first. Then there are the darker moments where you're flinging a control across the room and cursing at the screen because an AI competitor or pursuing police car nudged you just enough in the final stretch to drop you from first to last place.
