Call of Duty: Black Ops III Officially Revealed!

The last Call of Duty game I really enjoyed was Black Ops II.  In face, I still play it on my Wii U.  Ghosts was okay, and I never really had the desire to try Advanced Warfare.  While Black Ops III is going futuristic in the same vein as Advanced Warfare, this one gets me excited.  That is a shame, really, because I will not be able to enjoy this one.

Anyway, check out the trailer.

Kevin Spacey is Advanced Warfare in New Call of Duty Reveal Trailer

Thankfully, the rumors about the newest Call of Duty game being set during World War I were unfounded.  Instead, Activision has taken the annual franchise even further into the future with the newest installment: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.  Yes, we've gone from modern to advanced, and got the added bonus of Kevin Spacey.


And even though I have found myself starting to move away from FPS games (outside of Planetside 2), I find myself intrigued by this new CoD.

Uprising DLC for Call fo Duty: Black Ops II Bringing Ray Liotta to Xbox on April 16

The newest batch of DLC for Call of Duty: Black Ops II has been revealed as Uprising, and will be available for Xbox 360 on April 16.  It brings that now standard four new maps and new Zombies setting called Mob of the Dead.  Much like Call of the Dead from Black Ops, this one is bringing some star power with it.  Not only does it feature Ray Liotta, but it also features Michael Madsen, Joe Pantoliano, and Chazz Palminteri.  Pretty inspired casting for a mob themed level.

The DLC is going to be 1200 MS Points, and is, of course, included in the Season Pass.  It will be headed to the PlayStation 3 and PC versions at a later date.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Revolution DLC Out on 360

If you are one of the millions of people playing Black Ops 2, the first batch of DLC is now available for those playing on the Xbox 360 to pay out the nose for.  The Revolution DLC pack includes four new multiplayer maps (including a skate park!), a new mode for Zombies, and a new gun.

You can check out the trailer for the $15 DLC after the jump.

It's that time once again!  I finally have my podcast up!  I didn't lose it due to a crash time time, and I'm pretty happy.  Join me as I ramble about the Nintendo Wii U, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 for the Wii U, and things to come for the site.

Wii U Reviews Coming Tomorrow! - UPDATE

Oh man, I am so tired!  I got my Wii U yesterday, and got it all hooked up and updated at around 3:30 in the afternoon.  I played Nintendoland with my son and wife for a few hours, took a break to eat, then played a bit more.  We watched some Phineas & Ferb on Netflix, then the kids went to bed.  While waiting for the kids to fall asleep, I decided to play some BlOps 2 using just the Gamepad.  Took a break to watch some more Netflix, then went back to BlOps 2 until it was way too late.

Anyway, I'm going to try and record the podcast tomorrow morning, and I will have my reviews of the Wii U itself, Nintendoland, and BlOps 2.  I'm actually looking forward to reviewing this stuff.  

Also, if you want to add me on your Wii U, my NNID is PBandAwesome.

UPDATE: By "tomorrow", apparently I meant Wednesday.  I'll have the podcast with reviews up Wednesday.

Pre-Order Bonus for Call of Duty: Black Ops II Season Pass

 
With Call of Duty:Black Ops II coming out in fifteen days, Activision has revealed a bit of info about the DLC Season Pass.  The Season Pass will run you $49.99, and you can pre-order it for the 360, PS3, and PC (via Steam).  This will get you all four of the forthcoming Map Pack DLC, and save you about $10 overall if Activision sticks to their pricing model for CoD DLC.

Activision is also offering a bit of incentive to pre-order the DLC: A special Calling Card for the multiplayer.  This pre-order offer will be the only way to get the special Calling Card.

Also of note; Activision is currently working with Nintendo on making the DLC Season Pass available for the Wii U version of the game.  They are promising details on that at a later date.
