The Call of Duty series used to pride itself on realism and its grounded nature—quite literally considering the exosuit-heavy games from the past few years. Older titles replicated real-world events and would even give real quotes when you died to showcase that CoD can never replicate a proper war. That has obviously changed. Now, the series focuses on high-octane gunplay and satisfying killstreaks to keep players hooked. There is nothing wrong with this, but it can result in certain mechanics and decisions feeling more jarring than they should....

When Electronic Arts and developer DICE unveiled Battlefield 4 to the world during GDC, they impressed the industry and fans with its even-better-than-Frostbite-2 graphics. The revamped Frostbite 3 is the go-to engine for most of EA’s upcoming triple-A non-sports titles, and rightfully so, but there were mixed reactions to the presentation for its sole focus on single-player. For a multiplayer-focused franchise, we wanted to know how online play works on the next-gen DICE shooter....

But for those casually interested in the latest adventure of space-miner Isaac Clarke, but not yet sure if the game is worth their dollar, the latest video series from Visceral and EA should help you decide....

Sony and Microsoft have taken on different approaches in the gaming industry, with Sony sticking to traditional console dealings while Microsoft has been focused on gaming across multiple platforms and not so much console-oriented strategy. The Xbox manufacturers’ Game Pass service remains the proverbial apple of the company’s eye....

2014 is coming to a close and that means many things. It means end-of-year lists will be coming in a mile-a-minute, Netflix will be shuffling some older films out of their library, and licensing agreements are soon to lapse.

Gamers have had over a year to become acclimated to Pokemon GO causing people to get sued, shot, or robbed while trespassing, but not every pop culture-related trespassing incident that occurs is related to the popular mobile exploration title. This week, a Pokemon fan named Curtis Combs was taken in to custody by the secret service for climbing over the a concrete barrier at the The White House and entering the private property, an act which ultimately isn’t too uncommon....
