'Total War: Rome' Sequel Announced
Sega has just announced the sequel, Total War: Rome II, which has been in development at The Creative Assembly. It is only available for the PC and is currently set to be launched at the end of 2013.I am a MASSIVE fan of Rome: Total War which came out about 8 years ago. Even though the first game got me hooked to the series, none of its successors had been successful in surpassing the original in my opinion. I don't know what I loved about that game but, I have finished the campaign with pretty much every faction.
The sequel will be keeping the signature top view perspective for RTS combat. Like always you can zoom all the way down to one soldier or

Spec Ops: The Line - Online Multiplayer Details
Today we will be taking a look at the multiplayer aspect of Spec Ops: The Line. Nowadays almost all games have to have some sort of multiplayer especially if it is a first person or third person shooter.
Mutliplayer components these days are mainly used to increase the value of the game itself. They not only increase the allure of the games but also significantly increase the length of the game. Sadly, sometimes they are just sloppily made and do nothing more than frustrate players. I will just present you with my opinion of the multiplayer and whether it is good or not, you can be the judge of that.
First of all, they have

New Shooter, Spec Ops: The Line
I don't know about you guys but, I had no idea that that 2K was coming out with a new Spec Ops game until I actually saw the game demo at E3. The new game is titled Spec Ops: The Line which has been officially dated to be released on the 26th of June, 2012.The main story takes place in the carcass of the once flourishing Dubai, now just a shell of its formal glory due to massive sandstorms that left it in tatters. The lead character is going to be Captain Walker whose mission is to rescue John Konrad, a well-respected Colonel of the US Army.
John Konrad and his team went MIA during their last mission which was to help any remaining civilians escape Dubai. Well

Black Ops 2: Zombies!
All right, now let take a look into Zombies! Treyarch has officially confirmed that Zombies will make a comeback and it is going to be bigger and better than ever.
First of all, Zombies will have more game modes aside from the standard round modes that we have seen in World at War and Black Ops. There also going to be specific tasks and objectives to complete in these levels this time around.
Speaking of levels, this is one area where Zombies is getting a major overhaul. They are creating whole new worlds for zombies, massive ones. According to Mark, the whole Treyarch team has put a lot of effort and imagination into Zombies

More Black Ops 2 Gameplay info:
Alright! I know why you all are here so let's dive straight into it!
As always, Treyarch is really tight lipped about revealing anything about the multiplayer at this moment. They always like to tease people with the official multiplayer trailer which sadly for us, is not out yet. But, in an interview with Machinima, Mark Lamia the Studio Head at Treyarch mentioned some interesting details.
Mark mentioned that they are really building Black Ops 2 Multiplayer from the ground up. They do not plan on adding to the existing framework of Black Ops but, intend to redefine it. He mentioned that players can expect to see them to "push the boundaries of the multiplayer

Black Ops 2 is getting close to its launch date, 13th November 2012, and this time around Treyarch is pulling all the stops! The game has already broken pre-order records and has surpassed pre-order records for Modern Warfare 3 by 30% according to Amazon.com. Wow!It is obvious that the same old engine is not stopping anyone from getting their hands on this installment. Well, we had been hearing news of all the new gameplay elements that they planned on putting in this game but, this E3 we finally got to see a sneak peak of it.
I was really impressed with the single player campaign in Black Ops and this time they plan on making it bigger and better. The story is a direct continuation from Black Ops and is going to be split into two eras - the cold war in the 1980's and the cold war in the near future of 2025. We will be taking the role of Alex Mason during the 1980's and as his son in 2025.
The cool thing about the split time frame is that we will actually get to see

Halo 4 Toys have revealed new Halo 4 enemies.
An image was taken of a Halo 4 figurine. The back of the packaging revealed the name of two new Halo 4 enemies. The watcher and the crawler. While no other news has surfaced regarding these enemies we imagine E3 will give us a lot more info on Halo 4 and of these two new baddies.
While the reveal isn't too large a spoiler since we all imagined new enemies were on the way, you can suspect that the company McFarlane Toys responsible for the Halo 4 toys will be more careful in the future. -
