Though it has yet to be confirmed by Activision, most gamers assumed that the Call of Duty: Black Ops team would roll out at least one more map pack before preparing for the release of Modern Warfare 3. While the next map pack has not been officially announced, a photo of the pack’s flyer has leaked, and based on previous marketing material it seems legitimate. Unfortunately the title of the Black Ops map pack and the specific level names are unclear from this photo, but there is a brief blurb for the four multiplayer offerings and the new zombie mission....

For me, the most memorable part of BioShock was the first half hour. That’s not to say that I didn’t love the entire game, but the emotions that I felt when first entering Rapture are more vivid than any others I have of my playthrough. Just the idea of a group of scientists forming their own society away from the laws and morality of civilization, and following that to its logical conclusion was the kind of hook that every game strives for....

The update also includes a bunch of new quality-of-life improvements as part of the ongoing ‘Fix PUBG’ initiative. These include a cleaner Friend UI, the ability to further magnify the minimap, and a new Wheel Menu that allows you to quickly access items without having to bring up the inventory screen....

The multi-award winning space-based shoot-’em-up title received rave reviews – including here at VideoGamer – during its initial release for the PlayStation 5 in 2021. During the event, a trailer for the upcoming PC port had initially been exhibited, which showed plenty of what made the game widely acclaimed. The last scene of the sneak peek shows the main protagonist gasping for breath before it vanishes to be replaced by the previously unknown release date....

Riot Games apologized recently after a portion of a League of Legends event put players with photosensitive epilepsy at risk. The company first stated that the option to disable the specific animations as part of a finisher that risked triggering seizures in some photosensitive players had been considered, but as one of the game’s designers described, it did not have “time or bandwidth” to implement a toggle so that players could turn off the problematic animations....

One regular subject of conversation around here is directing hot streaks. That is the filmmakers who had a run of terrific movie after terrific movie, and one name has inevitably been cited: Rob Reiner. Many directors have hot streaks, but what was incredible about the run of films that Reiner enjoyed between 1984 and 1994 was that the films not only received acclaim, but they tended to be successful too. Furthermore, Reiner wasn’t tying himself to an individual genre....

Bayonetta and Nier: Automata developer Platinum Games has released a new trailer for upcoming shoot em up Sol Cresta, and says it’ll be coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC soon. The game was first “announced” this time last year as part of the “Platinum 4” (that saw the reveal of Project GG) as a successor to 1980s arcade titles Moon Cresta and Terra Cresta, but was assumed to be an April Fool’s joke due to the timing....

It looks like the wait is over, and we’re going to get those important PlayStation 5 details later this week as Sony has announced a PlayStation 5 Showcase to take place this Wednesday at 9pm BST. The announcement on the PlayStation Blog is naturally light on specifics, but does mention “one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond)” so it’s probably safe to expect a little Spider-Man: Miles Morales (for that launch window) and Horizon: Forbidden West (for the “beyond” bit) to name but two and very likely, a lot more besides....

Catan’s developer has recently announced that it is creating a “massively multiplayer location-based game” called Catan: World Explorers. Niantic, the creator of Pokémon GO, has officially been confirmed as the studio in charge of the new title. Initial reports made no indication that Niantic would be involved in the game, however it seemed like the logical choice. No other company is as successful with location-based games as Niantic, having crafted three excellent titles in the genre (those being Ingress, Pokémon GO, and Wizards Unite)....

Evolution methods are as elaborate as ever in Pokémon Legends: Arceus, ranging from the traditional ways of just levelling up a Pokémon to a given level, to using a certain move a certain number of times in battle, or even waiting for a full moon.
