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.
