Treyarch has set yet another record for Call of Duty: Black Ops. The game currently holds the record for most sales in five days, and now it has become the best selling game in U.S. history.
Did you see Doom? If you did, I am sorry to say that a sequel might be in the works.
Video game based movies are known for not being very good, but Doom was downright awful. So bad that Universal is considering rebooting the franchise already. Why you may ask? Apparently the DVD sales were decent. Expect the movie to be in 3D, and I'm assuming another FPS style scene will be included.
Nintendo has their GDC 2011 keynote this morning, and a few new things will be coming to the 3DS this May.
Netflix will be coming to the device, and will have access to every movie on the instant watch catalog. The movies will play in 2D not 3D. Nintendo seems to be really pushing the fact that, Netflix allows viewers to start viewing a movie on your 3DS, then pick up right where you left off on your big screen.
Valve has made the first big announcement of GDC 2011. Steam will be adding a feature called Big Picture mode. This new feature will allow better scaling when your PC is hooked to a television, instead of a monitor. Valve also is adding support so that many different types of controllers will be compatible right out of the box.
Hard Corps: Uprising is part of the very popular Contra series, and a prequel to Contra: Hard Corps. It is the first title in what is expected to be a new long lasting franchise. The game features a similar gameplay style to the Contra series and boasts intense firefights, extremely high difficulty, and beautiful scenery
PC gamers rejoice! Crytek has confirmed a Crysis 2 demo will be releasing for the PC on March 1st!
Two games modes have been confirmed for the demo. They are Team Instant Action, and Crash Site. Team Instant Action is essentially team death match, and Crash Site is similar to King of the Hill. A pair of maps have also been confirmed, Skyline and Pier 17.
THQ's Homefront is coming next month, and if you haven't picked up the new Xbox 360 S, then this might be the bundle for you. While details of the Homefront bundle are not official, it is safe assume it will be a 250 GB Xbox 360 S with Homefront in the box.
EA has announced that people who pre-order Bulletstorm Limited Edition from the EA store will receive the game, Shank for free. The offer starts today and runs until February 22nd.
The long rumored Halo remake is finally confirmed. Halo: Combat Evolved will be releasing this holiday season on the Xbox 360. The remake will not be just be running at a higher resolution, but will be redesigned with a brand new art style. Sources confirm that it's a new engine, but not the Reach engine.
We expect that the game will run in 1080p, and there are rumors of 3D television support. Details on the multiplayer are a little unclear at this time, but online co-op for 2 players is very likely. The release date could be on November 15th, and that would make sense since that would be the 10 year anniversary of the original Halo: Combat Evolved.
