StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm – PC Performance Analysis

Starcraft 2 v4
Before starting this analysis, let us tell you that we are big fans of StarCraft 2. StarCraft 2 is a global phenomenon and we are really enjoying watching all the talented players duking it out on eSports. One of the biggest issues of it, however, was its single threaded capabilities of its engine and since Blizzard has released the first expansion of StarCraft 2, it’s time to see whether the company has tweaked the game’s engine or not.

Infinity Ward Hints At New Call Of Duty With A New Image Of Captain Price

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 v3
A couple of minutes ago, Infinity Ward has revealed – via its official FB page – a new image of Captain Price. This new image is probably a teaser for the upcoming reveal of the next Call of Duty title, and we can safely assume that Captain Price will be featured in it. After all, there wouldn’t be any reason to share such a picture if that wasn’t a hint, right? Naturally, Infinity Ward has not revealed anything other than this image that was placed as a cover photo, so go ahead and enjoy it after the jump!

Rumor: Is This The First Teaser For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4?

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 v3
A new video – that looks like a teaser trailer of Modern Warfare 4 – has appeared on the Net a couple of minutes ago. Since this isn’t anything official and as nothing has been confirmed right now, you should definitely take it with a grain of salt. Still, it looked interesting so we decided to share it with you. This teaser presents Captain Price who seems to be in Mexico. GDC 2013 is underway and everyone is currently awaiting for the upcoming reveal of Battlefield 4. Therefore, this is either an intentional leak or a fake video that was created in order to take attention away from BF4. Activision declined to comment on the trailer, so this could be the real deal. That, or Activision is playing its cards right and wants to keep people guessing (at least for today). Enjoy! Continue reading Rumor: Is This The First Teaser For Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4? →

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 v3
Remember the teaser website of Modern Warfare 4? Well, it appears that it was valid as a new poster has appeared (kudos to Insomnia’s Psycho_Warhead for spotting it) today, hinting at an incoming announcement/reveal on March 21st. Not only that, but it seems that four studios are working on it: Infinity Ward, Raven Software, Sledgehammer Games and Neversoft. Naturally, the game will be published by Activision. The poster also indicates that Activision will reveal more during PAX East (or GDC), otherwise there wouldn’t be a poster for just the fan-made movie reveal.

The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct Coming After All To The PC

The Walking Dead Survival Instict
You know what? It’s really ironic when publishers decide not to comment on a question, when distributors have shared false information, and when you get a proper answer from a pirated group with its latest actions. Despite the claims of Activision’s Greek distributor, IGE, of the PC version getting cancelled, Activision has released this title on the PC, and has already been leaked – though in some regions the game may be already available – by a specific pirated scene group.
