Though the initial lawsuit against Valve was dismissed, Wolfire amended their suit in May 2022 and the legal battle was back on.

It may have taken almost two years, but we are now starting to see some of the documents that...

  • Activision Claims Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the Biggest Entertainment Launch of 2014

    Activision busted out the PR machine today and made the bold claim that Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare is the "biggest entertainment launch of the year." Yes, that once again means they did better than other game releases, movies, music, and books for 2014.

    Of course, that isn't terribly hard to do when the starting price for a game is far and above the starting price of a movie, a music album, or a book. Moving on... Activision also noted that thanks to the big sales of Advanced...

    There Will Be Another Beta for The Crew on November 25

    Ubisoft is going to offer up players yet another opportunity to test drive a beta for The Crew prior to the game's planned December release. This is an open beta and will run from November 25-27 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The open beta will include the East Coast and Midwest regions from the map of the United States. I believe that means you can actually do missions up through these two regions while still exploring the rest in free roam. It will grant access to Street cars...

    Over 7 Million People Have Played Titanfall

    EA and Respawn Entertainment, through a new "feature update" video, have revealed that Titanfall has been played by over 7 million unique players.

    That means at least 7 million copies of the game have been sold to end consumers, not just shipped. I'm sure we'll see a sequel to the game in the coming years. Hopefully the sequel has a longer life than the first game did. It would have been nice to keep playing that game for more than a couple of months after its release....
