    It's Time for Call of Duty to Ditch PC and the Single-Player Campaign

    Yesterday, it was revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII was going to ditch the single-player campaign due to unspecified "development issues." This begs the question: Is this the beginning of the end for the single-player Call of Duty experience? More importantly, should this be the end of single-player campaigns for Call of Duty?

    In short: Yes.

    According to PSNProfiles, only 31.34% of all PlayStation 4 owners beat Call of Duty: WWII's single-player campaign....

    Yakuza 6: The Song of Life is Out Now

    Sega wanted to pass along word that their long-awaited Western release of Yakuza 6 is finally here. From what I hear, the game is pretty damn good.

  • Sources Say Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 to Ditch Traditional Single-Player Campaign

    According to a report that went up today from Polygon, Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII will not feature a "traditional" single-player campaign. It will instead focus more on the multiplayer and Zombie modes.

This is seen primarily by how she uses her staff, which she has named Harmony. All that training caught up with Falke, throwing her into a deep...
