Next-Gen Call Of Duty, Last-Last-Gen Engine

The next Call of Duty game, Ghosts, will be the first to appear on an entirely new generation of hardware. Despite this, it’s still built on an engine that’s over 10 years old, though the game’s developers would like you to think otherwise.

Don’t Expect Those Xbox One Exclusives To Come To PC

Not that you should have, given Microsoft’s puzzling disdain towards the market, but just in case you were thinking those promised Xbox One exclusives were coming to PC, you can stop.

PlayStation

The PS4 Had Better Hit Europe In 2013…

… otherwise this full-page ad in Britain’s Metro newspaper is going to look very silly indeed.

A Giant Nemesis Head Will Not Be Your Home’s Romantic Centrepiece

I’ve got a lot of toys and statues on my “good bookshelf”, but I’m also a man with small kids, who has normal people around to his house to visit. So, no, I won’t be buying this giant, hideous Resident Evil bust. Even though deep down I kind of want to.

Happy Wedding Anniversary, Here’s An Epic Gears Of War Family Portrait

It’s not the first time we’ve seen an artist combine the two sci-fi universes, but it is the best time. These pieces by artist Zarnala aren’t the only amazing works in her portfolio either.

Explaining Frames Per Second (And Motion Blur)

Frames-per-second. Motion blur. They’re terms you’re probably familiar with if you’ve ever tinkered with game settings or even casually followed games hardware, but just what do those terms actually mean, and how do the laws that govern them actually work?

Xbox

Please, Let This Be Call Of Duty Dog’s First DLC

Map packs? Please. The future of Call of Duty DLC must surely be new dogs. Hopefully, the first will be this Corgi, done by French artist Diana Da Costa, that is so cuddly I am about to die.
