Call Of Duty: Ghosts – Onslaught Map Pack Contents Leaked

By Jason Andrews | Published: January 11, 2014

A leaked image of a GameStop poster has at the very least given us the names of the new maps in the first map pack due to drop for Call of Duty: Ghosts on January 28th this year (First on Xbox LIVE). Fog, BayView, Containment and Ignition are the multiplayer maps with an Extinction map titled Episode 1: NightFall.

This is also likely to be the trend now for the foreseeable Call of Duty: Ghosts future – four multiplayer maps and one extinction map. Extinction is not quite the ‘hit’ as was Zombies for Treyarch, but it’s something different all the same. Spec Ops Survival could have been great on Ghosts, but it was never meant to be…

We are hoping to review this map pack in due course from Activision – look out for our opinion on the new content in the coming weeks…

Bioshock Infinite: Burial At Sea – Episode One Review

By Halim Rhouila | Published: November 20, 2013

bioshock-infinite-burial-at-sea-22416-1680x1050

Irrational Games already had an absolute winner with the experience of Bioshock Infinite alone. Their first piece of single player DLC was always going to be a big seller, and many clamouring for their DLC after buying the season pass, it was time. All Irrational games had to do to make the general public giddy with excitement, was mention one word. One name rather, Rapture. So what with the game taking its glorious return to the where it all began, it was time to see if it could live up to the name, and to the expectations of the many who hold Bioshock in the highest regard.

So onto the content itself. Burial At Sea is set just before Rapture becomes the underwater haven that we know it as today, Booker DeWitt and Elizabeth are back together again for the adventure of a lifetime. Their mission is to find a missing young girl known only as ‘Sally’. Booker is well established in this implied alternate timeline in Rapture. He’s known as a bit a sleuth, a private detective that takes on any contract. Elizabeth is more of a mystery, much as she is in the single player campaign. Elizabeth has been given a wonderful fifties makeover. Complete with an elegantly fiendish looking outfit and cigarette. There are some characters and cameos you may recognise, but when I saw them I was pleasantly surprised. So I shan’t be ruining it for any of you fine folk.

Gameplay offers much of the same in the way of weapons and vigors. The return of splicers does add to the excitement somewhat. Not that it changes much of the gameplay, it’s just feels good to dive right in at these bastards again. Ammunition is quite scarce » Continue Reading.

New Ultra Street Fighter IV Gameplay Mechanic Announced

By Halim Rhouila | Published: November 16, 2013

Capcom’s Tomoaki Ayano has announced the latest gameplay mechanic to come in the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter IV. Besides the Red Focus and the Double Ultra mechanics, we now have delayed wake-ups. This completely flips the script and changes the way everyone will play, especially grapplers like Zangief and T. Hawk as well as vortex characters like Seth.

This is a roughly translated statement from Capcom’s Saikyo Blog .

“We also have a third new battle system — Delay Standing… For you to experience!

Delay Standing allows you to alter the timing of your wakeup, making your rise take a bit longer than usual. With this, you can increase your options against opponents with strong okizeme!”

Ultra Street Fighter IV is due out in Q1 of 2014 on the Xbox 360 as both a downloadable upgrade to Super Street Fighter IV, and a full retail release.

State Of Decay: Breakdown DLC Coming November 29

By Jason Andrews | Published: November 16, 2013

UndeadLabs has announced the release date for their first DLC for State of Decay, the love it or hate it Xbox LIVE Arcade title that was quite a hit. The DLC will be on both XBLA and Steam on Friday, November 29th, and cost around $6.99 – for UK folk, check the dashboard on launch day.

The first expansion comes largely from you and your dreams say UndeadLabs, “less story, more survival. Long-term survival. More difficulty. New achievements, survivors, and weapons. We hope you have as much fun with it as we have.”

ThisisXbox rated State of Decay 5/10:

Scouring derelict buildings for supplies in the dead of night, fighting of swarms of undead or sneaking through blood soaked forests was all hugely entertaining. However I just can’t help but feel a lot of my enjoyment came from the fact that I wanted to enjoy it. Now I have finished it, and the review is complete. I won’t be playing it again in the foreseeable future, at least not until I hear CO-OP has been released and I can jump in with friends and see if that adds more to the game.

Title Update 4 has been confirmed to hit the game on the same day, with bug fixes and the new loot distribution system.

By Halim Rhouila | Published: November 6, 2013

Konami have announced that one of their famous data pack updates will come to PES 2014 later this month. The new data pack updates the rosters to reflect the summer transfers in the football world. As well as adding at least 800 new player likenesses along with some new boots. The likenesses come as a pleasant surprise as it was a gripe that we mentioned in our review.

How To Survive DLC Announced

By KrisWB | Published: October 30, 2013

Listen up survivors! 505 Games and Eko Software have provided us with supply drop in the form of a new DLC pack. We can now equip ourselves with a fireproof suit and learn the skills to craft incendiary bullets. Whoop whoop, I’ve always imagined myself lighting Zombies on fire and then walking through the flames for that ‘hardcore effect’.

Heatwave DLC single character – Purchase a new, fireproof suit for Abby, Kenji or Jack for and learn how to craft incendiary bullets — $.99 Heatwave DLC three characters – Purchase fireproof suits for everyone and learn how to craft incendiary bullets — $1.99

Developed by Eko Software, How to Survive puts players in the center of the action as someone who, after an accident, finds themselves on an island amidst a small archipelago off the coast of Colombia … but there are other inhabitants, many who are undead. There is nothing quite like being surrounded by a brain-hungry horde of zombies to get the adrenaline flowing … What will you do? Who will you trust? How will you survive?

Keep your eyes peeled to ThisisXbox over the coming days for our review of How to Survive.
