Activision Gives $1 Million to Veterans at Call of Duty Event

by Susana Polo | 4:02 pm, November 6th

One more thing for California lawmakers to think about: severely regulating the video games industry will render it less likely to perform inspiring works of charity. Activision, the parent company behind the Call of Duty franchise, held a held an event related to the launch of the newest CoD installment that, other than hosting numerous celebrities, a Metallica concert, and a armed-services only tournament, raised seven figures for US veterans.

Said CEO Bobby Kotick:

“Call of Duty is one of the biggest of all entertainment franchises that uniquely pays tribute to the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who defend our nation and our freedom around the world,”

“It is especially popular among service members at home and abroad, which is why we are honored to have this event highlight the critical issue of veterans unemployment and make our own contributions to the cause.

Rumor: New GoldenEye?

by Susana Polo | 2:33 pm, April 24th

GoldenEye 007 for the Nintendo 64 is one of those titles that has lived far beyond its time: the time of its release, the time of its original console, and the time when its graphics would be considered at all revolutionary. Even today, if you’re not interested in playing a well tooled first person shooter with three friends who are actually in the room with you, you can always put in the bigheads code and set the game to one-hit-kill and slappers only in order to enjoy a pantswettingly hilarious hour or so.

by Susana Polo | 11:12 am, March 13th

The British show Game On has a clip of an interview with KISS front man Gene Simmons, taken completely out of its original context, in which he says:

I am the voice of Guitar Hero 6.

And, due to editing, very little else. This is all well and good, except for the fact that Activision hasn’t yet officially announced that they are making a Guitar Hero 6. According to Game On, the project is still in the “financial stages.”
