  • 2007 - The best gaming year ever
    By David Houghton posted December 20, 2007
    20th Dec, 2007 Gaming is an up and down experience. Some years cram top quality titles into our every orifice until were bursting with videogame joy and have excess polygons dripping messily out of our ears, while some other years… Well, some other years are 1983. In 2007 though, weve had a very good year indeed. A scarily good year in fact.

    It's seen over a million downloads in the first nine days of its release; the pack arrived on Xbox Live Marketplace April 4. We're guessing the previous record was held by either the first Halo 3 or Gears of War map pack. Check out our DLC

  • Call of Duty 4 to outsell Halo 3?
    By Gavin _Ogden posted November 12, 2007
    Nov 12, 2007 An analyst for Nollenberger Capital Partners has gone out there and stated that he thinks Activision's awesome Call of Duty 4 will outsell Halo 3. Todd Greenwald said, "Thus far, the game has an average score of 9.5/10 on Metacritic.com, which is almost unprecedented and puts it on par with Halo 3.

  • Call of Duty knocks Halo 3 off throne
    By Mike_Jackson posted January 22, 2008
    Halo has dominated Xbox Live since Halo 2 hit Xbox, even topping the 360's online gaming lists (until Gears of War), but the third game's domination of Microsoft's online servers has been put on hold by Activision. Last week, (beginning Jan 14), Call of Duty 4 managed to knock Halo 3 off the top spot on the list of most played Xbox Live games. Master Chief was forced to settle for second place, with Guitar Hero III (another Activision title) coming in third, and Gears of War in an ever solid

    By Mike_Jackson posted March 6, 2008
    Microsoft made "no real capitalization" of its one-year head start over PS3, and failed to "reach beyond the core first person shooter player", SCEA's Scott Steinberg has said."The time that they had to create huge distance and build a massive install base before the PS3 could really take root; that opportunity is over and there's no real capitalization of it," Steinberg stated.He went on to add, "They had a great crescendo moment with Halo and

  • THQ VP calls out Call of Duty's 'jingoism,' says Homefront will be different
    By Mikel Reparaz posted August 2, 2010

    Yes, THQ’s upcoming Homefront is a shooter about repelling North Korean invaders from US soil. Yes, it’s penned by John Milius, screenwriter of Red Dawn and Conan the Barbarian (and alleged inspiration for John Goodman’s slightly batshit character in The Big Lebowski). But it will not, according to THQ core-game VP Danny Bilson, have what he calls the “steroided-out, super-soldier, waving the American flag” mentality of games like Call of Duty and Medal of Honor...
