EA Unexpectedly Releases Battlefield 3 iOS Game

Mr. Pink — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:30:31 +0000

The EA mobile division unexpectedly and inexplicably released a god-awful iOS bastardization of Battlefield 3 this morning. It’s apparently tied to some sort of advertising partnership with the producers of the upcoming war movie Act of Valor.

The game is called Battlefield 3: Aftershock and – no surprise, here – it’s terrible. Even free, it isn’t worth downloading.

THQ Delays Metro: Last Light, Publishes Release Schedule

Mr. Pink — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:40:32 +0000

The saga of video game publishing titan THQ has taken several twists and turns this week. A day after reducing their workforce by 240 positions, the company is making headlines again for several reasons. Here’s a quick rundown of what we know right now.

Metro: Last Light, sequel to Metro 2033, has been delayed to 2013.
There are more than 1.4 million unsold uDraw tablets collecting dust in a warehouse right now. THQ lost $100 million on that investment decision.
The Warhammer 40,000 MMO, Dark Millennium Online, is not canceled!
inSane, the horror game that Volition was working on with director Guillermo Del Toro, and Homefront 2, which was in development at Crytek UK, are both still happening.
THQ has two unannounced “core” titles planned for release in fiscal year 2014 and four planned for release in fiscal year 2014.

Not bad considering that the company is otherwise falling apart at the seams.

Mr. Pink — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 21:06:09 +0000

Activision has revealed their nine month DLC plan for Modern Warfare 3 players who have subscribed to Call of Duty Elite. I’m actually impressed. It looks like they’ve got a lot of new content in the pipe – everything from new maps and special ops missions to new multiplayer modes of play. It honestly looks like $50 worth of additional gameplay to me.

GAME Confirms Need For Speed 13, Medal of Honor Sequel

Mr. Pink — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 23:43:05 +0000

Someone at British brick and mortar video game shop GAME confirmed via Twitter today that EA is planning Need For Speed 13 and the next Medal of Honor game in 2012.

The tweet has since been taken down and EA “refuses to comment on rumor or speculation”. In other words, it’s all true. Not like this comes as a big surprise, anyway.
