While developers and publishers would rather they not be, embargo breakers have become commonplace in video game news reporting. Whether it’s a highly anticipated sequel, unannounced console specs, or even a shake-up within a company, oftentimes well-kept secrets get out ahead of schedule. One of the more recent examples of embargo breaking took place just a few days ago with the announcement of Halo 5: Guardians on May 16th. Had the Halo announcement gone of as planned, gamers would have been caught almost completely by surprise, both by the game’s subtitle and its release date; but instead the reveal of Halo 5 was undercut by expectation....

Microsoft’s enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to the Kinect motion control device has earned the company a blend of disdain and praise - to extremely varying degrees. With once-revered developer Rare credited with many Kinect-focused titles of similarly varying quality, the team has been entrusted to create a must-have next-gen title in Kinect Sports Rivals for the Xbox One. Our early hands-on time with the game showed that there was reason for enthusiasm and some interest, but now that we’ve had much more time with the game, does it get the second generation of Kinect experiences off on a strong foot, or do the problems of old remain?...

Marvel’s Avengers is quickly approaching its next War Table, and with confirmation that the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game will be discussed, it seems like it will be a big one. However, Marvel’s Avengers fans may be seeing a next-gen release date that is sooner than expected. A month after Marvel’s Avengers released, it was announced that the next-gen versions were delayed indefinitely. With updates limited to 2021 and leaks suggesting that the free upgrade could not come until Summer, fans have been doubtful about the improved versions of the game coming anytime soon....

It seems like it was just yesterday that Mass Effect came out of nowhere, storming the third-person shooter and RPG genres by storm. And if current plans for Mass Effect 3 DLC are any indication, the developers at BioWare aren’t showing any signs of slowing. After hinting that the next dose of Mass Effect 3 DLC would be bringing “all hands on deck” members of the development team released the first teaser images for what they have in store....

As Bethesda Softworks gears up for the release of its new MMO, The Elder Scrolls Online, the studio is also wrapping up the single-player campaign of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which was originally released back in November 2011 and has enjoyed sustained popularity since then. The three pieces of DLC for the game finally became available on PS3 in February, and Bethesda’s head of marketing recently confirmed that they’re finished making extra downloadable content for Skyrim....

It seems like Activision is doing things backwards with its superhero properties these days, most evidently noted by how they are handling The Amazing Spider-Man. After delivering a solid first outing in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions, and a not so great follow-up in Edge of Time, developer Beenox is now working on a movie tie-in game. Typically it’s the movie tie-in game that serves as the trial-by-fire before the developer gets to branch out with the property, but as was said before, things are backwards....

Some truly epic moments have been born out of UFC’s octagon, and many more will be witnessed in the years to come. UFC Undisputed 3 however, allows fans and newcomers alike to create these moments instead of simply watching them. The career mode in UFC Undisputed 3 will be where players take on the role of an Ultimate Fighting Championship athlete and create a virtual legacy. Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson has had one hell of a career, and that’s probably why THQ chose the cage fighter to narrate the latest trailer for Undisputed 3....

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox Games at Microsoft, is absolutely determined to get Game Pass onto iOS. Last month in an interview with CNBC, he said that the software giant is “committed to bringing Game Pass to all phones out there, including Apple Phones.” Meanwhile, Apple has gone to war with Epic Games over the very rule that prevents game streaming apps from being placed in iOS. However, Spencer has a plan....

B.J. Blazkowicz has been slaughtering Nazis and thwarting the ambitions of the Third Reich for over 20 years, beginning with Wolfenstein 3D. His latest foray into shooting ubermensch in the face came in the form of last year’s Wolfenstein: The New Order, set in an alternate version of the 1960s where Germany won the Second World War. For Wolfenstein fans who’ve blasted their way through The New Order and find themselves craving more, salvation arrives this week in the form of a new standalone DLC campaign entitled Wolfenstein: The Old Blood....

Building up the perfect selection of villagers in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be a difficult task. In order to get a varied island you ideally want different personalities and animals. There are 8 different personalities in all and 35 species of animal. Since you can only have a maximum of 10 villagers on your island getting a true mix is impossible. Therefore tough decisions have to be made. Luckily Amiibo cards are here to help....

Nintendo Switch has had one heck of a ride since its March 2017 launch. The hybrid handheld, with its colorful Joy-Cons and technical limitations compared to its competition (this is Nintendo, after all), didn’t exactly set the gaming world alight at first. Lack of killer apps at launch (beyond The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which was also available on Wii U for the four owners of that ill-fated system) really hurt it....

Hype for the next generation is heating up and this summer has been an opportunity for the PlayStation 5 to show why it is looking to win the console wars. Along with showing off its hardware, Sony also put out a showcase showing off a bunch of exclusives coming to the console. Since then, there have also been other games announced for the console, whether its games available at launch or sometime in the next few years....

The Sims 4: Paranormal is the most content crammed stuff pack we’ve seen so far. It contains a varied and plentiful selection of clothing and furniture as well as several new gameplay features. Each aspect of the pack works together to form a well-rounded experience. For those who are unsure about what supernatural situations are in store for those who buy the pack here’s what you need to know before you hit that purchase button....

One of the aspects from Battlefield: Bad Company 2 that may have irked some players was the fact that when a downed player was revived by a medic, he would be temporarily invulnerable for a small amount of time. Unfortunately, in combat, even a few seconds can make the difference in any kind of gun fight and can result in player frustration. Luckily, in Battlefield 3, that problem will have been rectified....

Right on time for a very long 4th of July weekend (here in the States), Activision and Treyarch have released the latest map pack for Black Ops 2, titled Vengeance. As with all previous Black Ops 2 map packs, the DLC collection features four new multiplayer arenas and one new Zombies map. To help give Call of Duty fans a sense of each of the new multiplayer maps before they fork over $15 — provided they haven’t already purchased the Season Pass — we have put together another set of walkthrough videos....

Burnout Paradise: it was the game that took the Burnout formula to its absolute limits, and for many arcade racing enthusiasts, its a recipe whose open world and insane thrills have yet to to be exceeded. So when developer Criterion Games took over as trustees of the Need For Speed series, many saw Most Wanted’s open environments and improved visuals as more a sequel to Paradise than an original title....

The first time the Call of Duty series made the leap to next-gen consoles (soon to be old-gen) it was a middling franchise known mostly for bombastic portrayals of WWII battles. Since then, a lot has changed. Even before the release of Call of Duty: Ghosts, the next franchise title to make the transition, Activision had firmly cemented the series’ status among the video game elite, and put high expectations on every annual release....

So in case you guys haven’t heard, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is on its way and it’s kind of a big deal. As expected of the Call of Duty series, there’s a ton of hype surrounding the most recent addition to the series and its first ever legit competition coming from Battlefield 3. The first ever event known as Call of Duty XP offers a good indication of the hype and like most of the titles in the series, Modern Warfare 3 will make a ton of money....

As the third part of Microsoft’s Arcade Next XBLA promotion (which has included Bloodforge and Trials Evolution so far) Fable Heroes fits the casual, family-friendly bill. A cooperative button masher that combines elements of Lionhead Studios’ wildly popular series and a more traditional board game, Fable Heroes is very hard to label - and even harder to explain. While Fable proper was about taking one’s player through a pre-determined life cycle — making life-altering decisions along the way — Fable Heroes puts up to four players in control of a wide variety of Fable archetypes....
