‘BLACK OPS 2’ Release Date And Multiplayer Details Leaked?
Dare it be hersey when I state that out of all of the Call of Duty titles I’ve rubbed up against, Black Ops has been my favorite? It jazzed a certain shade of my tits, and I spent a good amount of time enjoying this jazz. I always assumed that it was going to spawn a sequel, and deets on that second game may have leaked.
‘FEZ’ Finally Has A Release Date. Indie Game Arousal Time!
Fez has been in development for a long, long time. Not Half-Life 3 levels of development, but fuck if that game actually exists. Gabe Newell has deleted two different completed games called Half-Life 3 from Valve’s hard drives. Just cause he can! While that fat bastard ruins our lives, Polytron shall bring some happiness to us in a very short time.
1970’s Nintendo Advertising Is Straight-Up Rip-Off Mode
Back in the 1970’s, Nintendo wasn’t a console making machine. Naw, they made arcade games. Very similar to Space Invaders, but totally not a rip-off. Winky wink. Just keep walking. Unless you’re going to play. Then give them your quarters. All of them.

The creative strategist behind Call of Duty has resigned, prompting me to ask the dickish question.

Unlike the rest of his fellow employees at the company, Pierce said “no thanks”, and peaced out of the joint. Why, you ask? Read on.
Rumor: NEXT PLAYSTATION CALLED ‘ORBIS’, DETAILS Here.
Oh shit! Kotaku has blown the roof off of the next PlayStation with a deluge of details and purported facts. Consider how this same sort of thing happened last year with their Modern Warfare 3 expose, I’m going to go ahead and say that all this stuff is going to be legit.
US Military Wants To HACK Foreign Game Consoles, Steal User Information. Dastardly ++
The Department of the Navy must have been watching some Dateline. Their latest and greatest way to spend tax payer money is to employ a company to boat a shitload of used gaming consoles overseas, and then till those consoles for user information. Have to get those terrorists’ information from them video game killer-builder machines.
‘EVE ONLINE’ Players Can Use In-Game Cash To Buy Real-Life Graphics Cards. Rad.
Despite my good friend and occasional commenter Fink trying to explain EVE Online to me, I’ve never been able to fully grasp it. It isn’t that his explanations are poor, but rather it seems an online world of such complexity that it’s something I’d have to experience for myself. I mean, fuck! It’s the sort of game where you can buy real shit with money you earn in game.
Final ‘BIOSHOCK: INFINITE’ Heavy Hitter Revealed: The Siren
The final heavy hitter in BioShock: Infinite has been revealed, and it is my favorite to date. Levine and company have dropped the Siren on our asses, a enemy that’s guaranteed to turn me into a damage sponge as I try and vain to take her out.
