2010 is looking like a world war year for games this year. The Xbox 360 was quoted by many as not having many games in 2009 to which we did a review of Xbox 360 last year. It had a decent library of games but lacked the stellar line up of the PlayStation 3. 2010 might actually be the year that may decide that which console will be the market leader for hardcore gamers. Now the 360 and the PlayStat... more.

Ok before I start this editorial, I will like to make one point very clear. I am not a PlayStation 3 fan boy or an Xbox 360 hater. In fact I have both gaming consoles and love them. Then why the hell I am claiming that PlayStation 3 will eventually sell more than the Xbox 360? The reason being that I have been following this generation of gaming since it began in 2005. I am no industry analyst but... more.

They say laughter is the best medicine - and in some cases it's enough to revive even the most dire of games. Humour in gaming is nothing new, in fact it's been a staple of games designers for decades but I'd argue that it's now being used to much better effect. Whether you're an advocate of great graphics, excellent sound effects or compelling storylines, it's undeniably the fun factor that re... more.

Given the revelation that Treyarch will be developing the next game in the Call of Duty behemoth franchise, we at Gaming Bolt decided to make a list of features that we would like to see emplaced in the next game. Developers take note! A longer single player OK, the single player on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was pretty cool. But there just wasn't enough of it. What is it with develop... more.

Ok, ok. I admit it. I'm an addict. Hunting achievements and trophies has become an obsession! I'd owned my Xbox for well over a year before I understood the appeal of achievements and it wasn't long before all the games I'd already completed were dusted off and replayed religiously to boost my gamerscore. Now, I'm a shell of a man - replaying the same section of game over and over until that fa... more.

Halo Reach is undoubtedly one of the most highly anticipated games of 2010. Based on the recent scans posted, we at GamingBolt decided to do a short analysis and put forward our assumptions as to what to expect from Halo Reach. Note: Click the images to see in full screen. Assumption 1: Five Player Co-Op mode: Judging by the image above, it’s safe to assume that Halo Reach will hav... more.

Modern Warfare 2 broke all records when it went on sale in November last year. In all proportions, it was easily one of the biggest launches in video games industry. Modern Warfare 2 has sold an estimated 4.7 million copies in it’s first 24 hours of release just in North America and the UK alone.  This breaks the previous fastest selling game record which was GTA: San Andreas.  Activision has ... more.

Given the recent speculation that Activision will be going for a new MMO game rather than the sequel to the last year hit Modern Warfare 2, we at Gaming Bolt decide to write a short article on five developers that could probably develop Modern Warfare 3. So let’s get started: Valve As we all know, Valve is well known for their success with the Half Life series, Counter-Strike, Team Fortres... more.

Zombie gorefest Dead Rising was the sole reason I bought an Xbox 360 all those years ago but I'm sad to say I'm feeling completely underwhelmed about the sequel. I was a big fan of George Romero's classic 1978 Dawn of the Dead movie so the idea of adopting the role of a survivor holed up in a shopping mall and fending off the zombie horde appealed somewhat. Now, a few years on, I can't help but fe... more.

Folks we have an exciting year ahead for Video Games. Sony undoubtedly has the best exclusives in the bag with a plethora of great games. Where does Xbox 360 fit in such a scenario? Many say that Halo: Reach is one of the biggest games that Microsoft has in 2010. Yes I would agree to that but it’s not the only game that is coming out on the Xbox 360 this year.

Today is 31st December, the last day in 2009. At 12 a.m., 2010 will come over. 2009 was one of the best years in Video Games Industry with a ton of stunning video games released. 2010 looks like a very strong year that might be as good as the year we had in 2009. But can it be the best year in video games ever? Confirmed Releases: [caption id="attachment_5770" align="aligncenter" width="548" cap... more.

If you are a die-hard Batman fan or have become one after playing Batman Arkham Asylum, by now you would have already watched the debut trailer of Batman Arkham Asylum 2. If you would have had a look at the trailer, it seems Joker has shifted his playground out of the Asylum now. It would be interesting to see Batman taking down Joker Thugs in the Gotham city with a larger environment available fo... more.

Everyone knows to expect a new sports game every year, but what if there was a new Halo or Uncharted every year? This year at the Spike TV Video Game Awards, we saw the announcement of the new Batman Arkham Asylum, the sequel to a game that released just three months ago. There was no set date for release however, there is a large chance we could see the game in late 2010. The question I pose to y... more.

We take a deep look at what Sony offered this year and why they are actually the crowned King of 2009. The PlayStation 3 has been the subject of much criticism since the day of it's release. Detractors have stated that PlayStation 3 was broken, late and launched with a pathetic line up of games. Three years have passed since that bashing and thrashing and now here we are, waving off 2009. A y... more.

Metal Gear Solid is one of the best franchises in video games history to date. Besides being my personal favourite, Metal Gear Solid is the pinnacle of storytelling and technical achievement in video games. We at GamingBolt revisit some of the moments which were actually responsible for making the franchise great. The series is full of stunning moments so it would be impossible to list all of them... more.

When the original Killzone was released way back in 2004 it was hyped up as the Halo killer. But things did not go too well and sufficed to say the game flopped. A year later, when the PlayStation 3 was announced at E3 2005, Sony stunned crowds with that famous trailer of Killzone 2. Nobody could have imagined that the PlayStation 3 could turn up such stunning vistas. Four years later in 2009, So... more.

Gears of War is undoubtedly one of best franchises this generation of gaming has bestowed upon us. In some ways Epic’s third person shooter has redefined standards in video games history. After two mega hits with Gears of War and Gears of War 2, Gears of War 3 is inevitable. Whether it gets released this generation is debatable, but there is going to be a third part for sure. We at GamingBolt p... more.

It seems that every time an opinion is given that goes against what the masses believe to be true that person is a fool. Perhaps I was wrong to say that Dante’s Inferno had the potential to surpass a game that is similar to it. Perhaps, but I don’t think so. I think the problem is that people have closed their minds to anything that can change what they believe to be right. What if Dante’s I... more.

When we play a game, we define it by a few different features; graphics, gameplay, sound, presentation and so on. But what features make you make a purchase? Photo realistic visuals? An unforgettable gameplay experience? I know which one matters most to me- gameplay, and I get a feeling that many others do too. However, I bet you all have friends who took one look at a game like Crysis before t... more.

I read two different articles on Modern Warfare 2 on the web where both the authors had a different take on the game play related to Multiplayer, SpecOps and the single player campaign of COD:MW2. The author who quoted that he was already bored playing MW2, felt that SpecOps and Multiplayer were not so great value add to the game, they did bring some variety in comparison to the previous version o... more.
