Give up the ghost
The hubbub surrounding the new Ghostbusters movie has been so well documented that even the Internet-deprived people of North Korea have likely heard about it. The response to the first trailer for the 2016 reboot of the supernatural comedy franchise has been nothing short of vitriolic, to the point that it's one of the most hated...

Soapbox Destiny's Grimoire Cards Are Pretty Awesome
A glimpse at what could have been
Destiny is famous for a lot of things, but a strong and structured storyline is most definitely not one of them. In fact, it's more renowned for telling you that it doesn't have time for a plot. I'm here to tell you that Destiny actually possesses potentially one of the deepest and most well thought out universes...

Star wars
While everybody might have thumbed down Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's lacklustre launch trailer to the very depths of Hell, we had a feeling that it might find redemption in its Mass Effect-like approach to its campaign structure with space dogfights that combine a mix of on-rails and free flight. From this gameplay trailer alone,...
E3 2016 Play Modern Warfare Remastered 30 Days Early on PS4
Nuke me baby one more time
One announcement that kind of got buried during Sony's pacey E3 2016 press conference, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will be available 30 days early on PlayStation 4 as long as you pre-purchase Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

A "big" expansion, according to Bungie
Destiny's been blasted in the past for the price of its expansions, and we fear that conversation's going to come up again in the relatively near future.

Review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan (PS4)
Shell shock
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is a property that has had no shortage of video games over the past two and a half decades. Whether it be sidescrollers, platformers, or arcade-style beat-em-ups, the series has seen its fair share of tie-ins.

This isn't what we ordered
After the enjoyable jaunt that is Transformers: Devastation, we had reasonably high hopes for Platinum Games' take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but it's not looking good for the mean green fighting machines. There are a few reviews dotted around the web right now, and the majority of them aren't exactly positive. So,...

Soapbox Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered's Infinite Warfare Exclusivity Is a Disaster
Joey Thurmond believes Activision can avoid paying a big price

News Crash Bandicoot's Dr. Neo Cortex Actor Asked to Resurrect Old Character
Hmm
There's been no shortage of Crash Bandicoot craziness over the past couple of years, but we get the distinct impression that things are about to heat up on Wumpa Island.

News Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare Won't Bring a Co-Op Campaign to Space
It's just you and the void
Despite its vastness, it looks like space won't be able accommodate more than one player in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Ripped from the history books
Activision's starting to turn the screws ahead of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare's announcement next week.

Review Call of Duty: Black Ops III - Eclipse (PS4)
Sins of the sun
With game releases picking up around this time of year, Call of Duty: Black Ops III DLC is a tough sell when you could be experiencing the whimsical magic of Ratchet & Clank or the masochistic beauty of Dark Souls III – and rightly so, considering that the strangely-named Eclipse isn't very special at all. The sun doesn't shine...
