According to Sensor Tower, Call of Duty Mobile has been downloaded by more than 100 000 million players around the world within its first week Whaaaaaat? A version of Call of Duty that was designed and built for mobile turned out to be wildly successful? Who could have ever seen this coming? Absolutely everyone, let me tell you that. Released …
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out towards the end of this month. Because the game ditches Season Passes and the regular cycle of DLC maps, the game’s co-marketing system, the PlayStation 4, no longer gets 30-day long exclusive access to those new maps and modes. Instead, a single part of the game’s Special Operations mode will be exclusive to the system for an entire year. The Horde-like survival sub-mode will be locked to PlayStation systems until it’s just about time for the PlayStation 5 to be out.
After a weird soft launch, Call of Duty mobile is finally available to all and sundry. I gave it a spin last night, and to my surprise, it’s a superbly polished, fun take on Call of Duty’s multiplayer formula.

The timed PS4 exclusive beta will be coming to an end shortly but it won’t be long before everyone has a chance to try the game out. Over the last weekend, PS4 players were able to dip their toes into Activision’s latest iteration of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The platform exclusive beta allowed players to try out some of …
I’ll forever associate Nintendo with platformers and collect-a-thons. You could blame their iconic plumber in red, but it also comes from past comparisons. While Banjo-Kazooie was busy gathering up music notes, the height of digital combat realism was being experienced with Metal Gear Solid over on the Playstation. This is, of course, a gross misconception as colourful kid-friendly mascots collecting …
Gamescom was rad as all Hell. Personally, it was the first convention I’ve ever had the opportunity to cover, so setting aside the crippling anxiety that is flying overseas by yourself and staying in a stranger’s spare room (it was a really good price and he only stole one of my kidneys, very considerate) Gamescom was everything I wanted it …
Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
