Mummies not yet confirmed, but we can dream Following therecent trailer and announcementof theCall of Duty: Ghosts Invasionpack, Activision just released a walk-through of sorts for the very intriguing Pharaoh map. As you’d expect, there seems to be a good amount of themed dynamic elements to it. There are ancient tomb doors to open, creating new routes, as well as Obelisks to topple. A lot of what’s shown was already in the last trailer, but this one does seem to place a great deal of emphasis on the hidden sarcophagus....

Uh, what? Well this is pretty surprising. Unless it’s a mistake,Dark Souls IIhas been given a “T” rating from the ESRB for “Blood and Gore, Mild Language, Partial Nudity, Violence”, whereas the first two games have been granted an “M.” It’s not a reason to freak out of course, as we’ll need to see the finished product to see if anything really makes a difference.

Divide is a promising isometric sci-fi adventure

I’m on board after seeing the trailer My initial reaction toDividewas, “All right! An isometric action-adventure sci-fi game!” Then I saw a flash of combat that looked like it was ripped straight out of a twin-stick shooter. “Ooooh.” Divideis in development at Exploding Tuba Studios for release this year on PlayStation 4 and PC. According to game director and composer Chris Tilton (Fringe,Zoo,Assassin’s Creed Unity) the main goal was to “tell a compelling story about an ordinary person thrust into extraordinary circumstances,” one with mega-corporations, conspiracies, propaganda, hacking, and robots....

Does NBA 2K25 have New Gen features on PC?

OnceNBA 2K25was announced, one of the biggest questions in the community was whether there would be ‘next-gen’ features on PC. This question is extremely valid if you have played the game on a PC in any of the last few years. While developers like EA Sports had shifted games likeFIFA 23andF1 23to next-gen, 2K decided otherwise for their basketball video game. However, something in NBA 2K headquarters has changed becauseNBA 2K25will finally have the same version running on PC, PS5, and the Xbox Series XlS....

Dust off your copy of Talladega Nights: Lair delayed until September 4

Remember last weekwhen associate producer Ryan Hamlyn said the upcoming PlayStation 3 titleLairwas finished, even going as far as to say it was in manufacturing? Psych — just kidding! It appears that even Hamlyndidn’t see this one coming, as the game’s release date has been pushed back to September 4. Blame it on the leaderboards and in-game medal system, says Hamlyn. Of course, this delay doesn’t have anything to do with the fairly poor review scores the game received in the latest issue ofElectronic Gaming Monthly(the game received a two 5....
