Via a trailer by LegendofKarl (which will be included at the end of the post), details on Activision’s rumoured online subscription service for the Call of Duty franchise have been realised. Kind of. Call of Duty: Elite is described as “if organized sports met social networking, had a baby and gave that baby a flamethrower,” and could either be the greatest evil of all or a master stroke from Activision.

FIFA 12 News
A while ago David Rutter boldly claimed that FIFA 12 will be a revolution in the gameplay department and ever since then, we’ve been wondering just what EA Sports have up their sleeves that they could bring to the table to back up this claim. After all FIFA 11 was a commercial success and added what was a unique feature in allowing the player to control a goalkeeper for the first time in the series’ now ever present Be a Pro mode.

Mass Effect Genesis now on PC and Xbox
Playstation 3 owners who bought Mass Effect 2 will be familiar with Mass Effect Genesis, the interactive motion comic that allows you to choose the plot outcomes from Mass Effect 1 as you watch, as the original was never released on Sony’s console. Xbox 360 and PC gamers will now also get to experience Mass Effect Genesis, as Bioware have released it for both platforms. If you’ve lost your Mass Effect saves or never played the game, this might be for you (although I personally recommend playing the original at least once!).

Mortal Kombat: Rewriting the Past
So, I was shopping at GameStop the other day after getting paid from my last drill week with my unit, and I couldn’t for the life of me find what I wanted to get. Nothing seemed to stand out for me, until I looked behind the counter (and for the note, I DON’T go shopping as often as I would like to), and in that nice display case of just released games I found what I wanted: Mortal Kombat. I rushed to my brother’s Mustang after buying the game, forgot to get the number 7 value meal from Burger King like I was promising myself to do next door, slammed the gearshifter into first gear, and nearly burnt out in the parking lot just to get home.
20 minutes later, I took out the case, sliced through the plastic wrapping, and popped the disc in. From then on, I was loving life. I grew up on Mortal Kombat, and I first played it when I was… in the 3rd grade? Maybe 4th? It’s been a long while, let’s just say that, but as I played every one from the first to the last (Armageddon), it started to grow more dull. Side-stepping (lame), easy Fatalities, like the stage ones, were getting harder, every character had two fighting styles and a weapon style which made EVERYONE unbalanced… and the most stupid of all characters that were re-hashes of two old ones mixed! To say the least, it was horrible as each one after UMK 3 came out. But this new one, the 9th game of the series, but only called Mortal Kombat, definitely lived up to its height in going back to its roots.

Opinion: DLC isn't the devil
Right then, I will preface this article with the premise that I am extremely well aware that everyone and their mother has already weighed in on the debate as to whether or not DLC (downloadable content) is evil. However, unlike most I am going to be championing the cause. Sort of.
