Two More Members of Infinity Ward Go AWOL

According to Kotaku last night, the development studio responsible for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has apparently seen the exodus of two more members.  Lead Designer Todd Alderman and Lead Software Engineer Francesco Gigliotti appear to be no longer working at Infinity Ward, if the screen caps from LinkedIn are accurate. Alderman’s responsibilities included [...]

First Look at Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions

Details are starting to emerge about this year’s Spider-Man game and it looks like it’ll be a stark visual departure from Activision’s most recent web-slinging  games. Actually, make that several visual departures. Shattered Dimensions looks like it’ll feature some reality-hopping elements, with appearances from a standard-issue 616 Spidey and a grimmer, gravel-voiced version that’s based [...]

Like, really ashamed. High Moon is best known for Darkwatch and Robert Ludlum’s The Bourne Conspiracy. This trailer is not indicative of how the [...]

Tony Hawk Admits That ‘RIDE’ Tony Is a Better Skater, Sort Of

Few people can say that they’ve ever had their own video game, but Tony Hawk is no ordinary mortal. He’s won multiple gold medals at the X-Games and was the first skater to land a 900. But I’d have to say all of that pales in comparison to what he achieved today and that’s launching [...]
