Call of Duty - Black Ops - Escalation is a Go!

**Update ** Screw the Rock - I can smell when a rumour is cooking true or false and this one had true tattooed on its ass from the start - Its official 'Escalation' for Black ops is a go!! Its coming on the 3rd of May to Xbox, so less than a month to wait. Major Nelson let the monkey out of the bag today (check here for that). He also revealed that it is going to be the usual rip off price of 1,200msp - Told ya it would be that too, didn't I, eh! So I recon I'll just wait for a sale or something cos I felt like a cheep used whore after buying the 'First Strike' pack- and buying 2 map packs for Call of Duty costs nearly the same as buyin a new game, dirty, greedy Activision... Grrr!

Original post:
Here we go again, another multi player map pack for Black Ops... the last one (First Strike) wasn't bad if a tad (allot) overpriced. The new second pack - 'Escalation' looks like it will have about four maps and a zombie mode level - Seize the Zoo - Take the Hotel - Secure the Convoy and Raid the Stockpile with the possible zombie one being - Survive Call of the Dead. So that's a fairly big map pack but it would be nice if they supported some single player action too... or even some co-op type thing, arg!

Its coming on May 3rd (2011) to Xbox and soon after for PS3 and PC. The price? Well no official word on that yet but I can bet its going to be at least 1200 msp - unless Activision have seen the error of their ways and decide to charge a fair price... actually they might charge 1600msp. Greedy fookers! We will update you with more on this when we get it... for free!

GTA V in the works? Looks that way!!

Well now kiddies, we have L.A Noir coming from Rockstar and we know the spy game 'Agent' is on the cards, there's even a rumour of a Bully 2 being made but what we all really, really want to know is when the fuck is Grand Theft Auto 5 coming?!?! Well there have been a few interesting requests by Rockstar games for some odd domain names and copyright patents. For instance Take-Two and Rockstar have bought the domain names - CashForDeadDreams.com - SixFigureTemps.com - StopPayingYourMortgage.net - HammersteinFaust.com and LifeInvader.com - Could these be for some of the wacky in game sites and companies? Its a strong possibility... Add to this that take two have put out casting calls for a game set in the Los Angeles area (not L.A Noir) with the codename of 'Rush' and the plot is thickening. You can see the list of characters below and their descriptions which really look like a GTA styled bunch of fuckups, so I recon its safe to say that this will become more than a rumour quite soon. We'll keep ya posted if theres any more on this but for now just keep hopping heads off the bonnet in GTA4. I really want it to be true. Not that I'm in a Rush or anything... da-dum... aww forget it!

250GB PlayStation 3 slim Uncharted 2 bundle leaked?



Hot on the heels of the 250GB Xbox 360 announcement comes, courtesy of engadget, rumours of a PlayStation 3 slim bundle for Uncharted 2 that happens to have a 250GB hard drive. They reckon, if true, it could hit stores in mid-October alongside Uncharted 2. SCEA have denied the photo and said that there's no bundles being planned for America, but that the rep can't speak for other regions (e.g. Europe, Japan). Go Europe!

Update: Joystiq points us to this rumor from last week that Uncharted 2, Assassin's Creed II, and Gran Turismo 5 bundles are possibly slated for the UK in October for £299 STG (probably €350 in Ireland - no doubt we'll be pissed on once again despite the favourable Sterling - Euro exchange rate).
