High on Life, the zany looking shooter coming to Xbox and PC later this year, is now due out a little laterer in the year: December 13, to be exact. Squanch Games – the studio fronted by Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland – had originally set an October 2022 …

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s lead writer has shed more light on its fictional city. That city would be Las Almas, where part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s globe-trotting narrative takes place. Play Magazine recently spoke with lead writer Brian Bloom, who revealed that rather than put …

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity Ward says the forthcoming sequel isn’t meant to “shock” players, but rather bring a spotlight onto its “more three-dimensional” characters.
