The most recent downloadable content to be released for Black Ops, the Rezurrection map pack, gave players the opportunity to take the eternal struggle against the undead to a completely new battlefield: the moon. This meant players would not only have to contend with a new location, but also deal with brand new mechanics like the lower gravity. While there have been trailers released for the map pack which show off what gamers can expect in terms of gameplay, the newest trailer to be released for the recent Call Of Duty DLC takes a different approach by pairing gameplay footage with a live action short featuring the restless dead and their zero gravity exploits....

Following the teaser trailer, a second teaser was released in the days leading to the world reveal on the 26th. Whereas the first teaser trailer more or less simply confirmed the existence of Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, this new trailer offered a glimpse into the story’s tone and setting, using live-action footage to paint a bleak, depressing picture of a future gone awry. Before the official reveal came to pass, details on the game began to leak, as they’re apt to do in situations like these in the gaming industry....

[HTML1] Now, as revealed by Irrational Games, we have learned that the Industrial Revolution Pack will be free to any who pre-order BioShock Infinite. And to help celebrate the announcement, Irrational has released a trailer for the pack (seen above). The pre-order bonus gets its name from the Industrial Revolution mini-game that is currently available to any who pre-ordered Infinite. By playing Industrial Revolution, players unlock several different in-game items including a small sum of cash....

Sarasota County Schools told parents that the text “contained content that may be controversial and in conflict with” the state’s ban on critical race theory, WFLA reported Tuesday. Critical race theory (CRT) is an academic framework for examining how race and racism intersect with culture, law and politics. The theory gained prominence in 2020 amid a nationwide reckoning on issues of racial injustice. The state’s Department of Education announced the ban in June as it adopted new rules that class instruction can’t “suppress or distort significant historical events” and that teachers shouldn’t share personal views or try to “persuade” students to a particular point of view....

But if Borderlands 3 is going top the charts later this year, it will have to do so without help from two Gearbox staff members who have been crucial to the success of the franchise. Borderlands 2 writer Anthony Burch announced he is leaving Gearbox this past week to write an original show for Hulu. And that’s after news of the series’ Creative Director’s departure broke earlier this month....

That’s thanks in part to the improvements made for the sequel, Borderlands 2. Developer Gearbox Software took everything that fans loved about the first game, gave them a boost, and added even more to keep players hooked. Borderlands 2 boasted varied locations, a dynamic antagonist, and even more by way of DLC. It may not have been a gaming revolution, but there’s a reason why it made the list of our Top Ten Games of 2012....

However, Gearbox has been especially tight-lipped lately - possibly because they were prepping the following announcement: Borderlands 2 will arrive on store shelves on September 18, 2012 (September 21, 2012 for international markets). Accompanying the official release date, 2K Games has also unveiled a new Borderlands 2 trailer - offering up a balls-to-the-wall look at the game that you won’t want to miss. The original Borderlands 2 teaser trailer showed-off new character, Salvador (aka the Gunzerker) as well as some of the environments and enemies that players will encounter in the upcoming sequel....

Some critics decry the franchise as only offering “more of the same” but I counter by saying we didn’t need New Coke. There are plenty of games on the market, let Borderlands be Borderlands. Anyone who’s ever been to cons knows it has a special grip on cosplayers, themselves a de facto litmus test for a brand’s authenticity and potential appeal. There’s a reason it inspires dedicated fans. There’s a reason the franchise draws hype a decade after its first game....

Here are some simple tips that players might want to know while jumping head first into Borderlands 3. With a game this expansive, there are lots of small tips that may not be explained as fully as they should be. Luckily, we’ve picked up the slack to make sure you know what you’re doing. Borderlands 3: How to Play Split Screen Playing with teammates is crucial for success in Borderlands 3....

The Brady Games Borderlands 2 Digital Strategy Guide is responsible for blowing the cover off Borderlands Legends. An advertisement for Legends appears in the guide, and a copy of the ad made its way to the Borderlands 2 forums, though the post has apparently been deleted. No matter - images of the add itself are currently all over the net. Check it out below. Borderlands Legends brings back the cast of the original Borderlands - Mordecai, Lilith, Brick and Roland - in a wave-based shooter....

When they entered the arena, yes, they were rooting for the Rangers, but their attention was on one player in particular. The group made the trek from different locations: Long Island, the outer boroughs, and New Rochelle, N.Y., a 45-minute drive to the city — well, of course, without rush hour traffic, though that was a risk they were unwilling to take. “Took the train; the easy way,” Barbara Shattenkirk said....

After multiple COVID-related delays throughout 2020 and 2021, The Batman officially arrived in movie theaters Friday, March 4. Starring Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne—better known as Batman, Zoë Kravitz as Selina Kyle a.k.a. Catwoman and Paul Dano as the Riddler, The Batman is directed by Dawn of the Planet of the Apes director Matt Reeves. The latest installment in Warner Bros. Batman franchise, The Batman marks the comic book character’s first solo picture since 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises....

Gabriel Jesus will make Premier League history - Rivaldo The struggling Hornets have lost five consecutive Premier League away games, slipping to 14th in the table, but Mazzarri has defended his side’s displays in their recent defeats. The Italian insisted hard work will help Watford to achieve their goal of staying in the top flight, with returning players key to their survival chances, but he is expecting a tough test against Eddie Howe’s men....

The changes have prompted the walk-outs of several high-profile correspondents, including John Harwood, Brian Stelter and Jeffrey Toobin. “I decided to #BoycottCNNas soon as the network began its shift to the right,” wrote Jon Cooper, former finance chair for Barack Obama. “It was a tough decision, since I’ve been a devout CNN viewer since I was in my 20s. If I wanted to watch right-wing propaganda, I’d watch Fox. So for now, it’s ONLY MSNBC for me....

The defender was suspended for that game four years ago as Brazil were dumped out of the World Cup in front of their home fans, losing to the eventual winners and breaking their international record for most goals conceded in a single match in the process. Along with Germany, Brazil are again one of the favourites for the tournament, and the PSG centre-back is optimistic that the end result will be different in Russia as Brazil look to seal a record sixth World Cup tournament win....

The majority of players will likely be picking up Bulletstorm to try out the game’s extensive skillshot system, and take on their friends in some over-the-top online game modes. There’s no question that the creative scoring mechanics the developers have cooked up is the game’s biggest hook, but don’t assume that shooting is all the game has to offer. The previous trailers have shown that there really is a story to the game, following mercenary group Dead Echo on a quest for revenge after being betrayed and cut loose by their former commanding officer....

The thinking with this double XP weekend is quite ingenious: if players hop into the Black Ops online play to reap the benefits of the event, they’re going to be seeing plenty of their friends playing the new maps. And that may be all it will take to get others to pick up the DLC as well. It’s a smart strategy on Microsoft’s part, but for most gamers who are spending countless hours on Black Ops daily, it’s a reason to log even more time over the weekend....

[HTML1] Though the game doesn’t launch for another month, the newest trailer for Black Ops 2 has all the makings of an official launch trailer. Packed to the brim with spectacle, explosions, and cool new gameplay mechanics; laced with a pounding rock ’n roll soundtrack; and featuring choice quotes about how great the game is going to be, this trailer is anything but subtle. More importantly, though, this Black Ops 2 trailer gives gamers a decent-sized taste of the type of action in store for them in Treyarch’s newest title....

However, with the Wii U Nintendo is capable of providing a comparable experience, if not a better one. The game might be launching a few days after its counterparts — on November 18th, rather than the 13th — but will be just as fully featured…except for one key omission. According to Activision, while Black Ops 2 will be available in all its promised glory on the Wii U, the publisher has yet to work out a strategy for how best to bring Call of Duty Elite to the new console....

Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Natasha Romanoff in Black Widow, which is out in theaters and online later this week. If you can’t wait to see what the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe movie looks like, here’s all the details on how and where you can watch it first. ‘Black Widow’ Release Details Black Widow was originally due to be released in May 2020 with an exclusively cinematic release but after the pandemic delayed its launch and changed the forecast for box office figures, Marvel and Disney agreed to give it a simultaneous release in movie theaters and on the streaming service Disney+....
