Looks Like the Next Black Ops Is a Little More Modern

Call of Duty developers Treyarch have only ever made games set in the past. Whether that be the Second World War or the Cold War, doesn’t matter, their games have never seen the 1990s, let alone today. But that looks like it’s set to change with the next game in the series. What will surely…

There’s Morse Code on the Call of Duty Website. Here’s What It Says.

It’s quick as can be but there’s an obscure teaser for Activision’s next big first-person shooter on the Call of Duty website. The concentric circles on the loading screen for CallofDuty.com contain morse code. You probably know what it says already, but it’s safe to consider this a sneaky sort-of confirmation from Activision. (If not,…

Prototype 2: The Kotaku Review

In very few games have I truly inhabited the persona of a goddam-right-I-am badass, whose demonstrations of power were as personal as Prototype 2‘s. And it’s not because I’ve imagined any of the superpowers you wield in this game, or how I’d perform with them. It’s because of the very normal, very pissed-off man in…

Hell F***in’ Yeah, It’s Time for Some Human Bowling Pins in Prototype 2

Here’s something I didn’t expect in Prototype 2: A human bowling minigame. That’s the best way I can describe “Collateral Damage,” one of the Radnet challenges that the game will be offering week-to-week, with character skins, experience points, powers and other goodies as the payout. Radical Entertainment went with these Radnet games instead of online…

On May 1, A New Call of Duty Game Will be Revealed

A new Call of Duty game reveal? Already? It’s OK. I’m as shocked/speechless/breathless as you are. Activision has updated Call of Duty’s official site with a new splash page saying that, on May 1, there’ll be a “World Reveal”. Given the increasing buzz/chatter flying around it’s probably for either Black Ops 2 or, as was…

If Activision is Releasing “Call of Duty: Eclipse” They Picked a Good Day to Do It

I was on the fence about posting this because, I mean, “Black Ops 2 coming out in November?” Stop the presses, that’s like “Call of Duty is coming out this year”-type news. But the game does seem to have a clever codename, unless the codename is actually its title. Rumor has it that the marketing…

The Call of Duty Tactics Game That Never Happened

Infinity Ward may have created Call of Duty but publisher Activision has always wanted to take the hit war-game series into different directions. Most of those efforts stalled—like the third-person variant that dev studio Sledgehammer was working on—and the public never gets to see what might have been But what you’re seeing above is animation…

Live, Without a Net, Prototype 2‘s Latest Trailer Falls from a Rooftop

There is no gameplay in this Prototype 2 trailer, which went out late Friday. But there is some rather badass live action, explaining the backstory of protagonist James Heller.
