How do you gauge when a game has truly "made it" in this day and age? Units sold? Metacritic score? Hard to say. If there were any doubts before though that "Call of Duty: Black Ops" hadn't made it, you can now wipe those doubts away. Not only is the 2010 hit getting a downloadable Games On Demand release next week on Xbox Live, it is also now officially supported with a multiplayer-focused iOS guide published by BradyGames. You should also check out the new trailer for next week's zombie map, "Call of the Dead." Because it's awesome and stuff.

'Soulcalibur V' To Be Revealed In May...Hopefully

Posted 4/26/11 5:30 pm EST by in News

soulcalibur 4

There's a new "Mortal Kombat" on store shelves now, and the word is that it's pretty damn good. Between that and "Street Fighter 4" its been a good couple of years for fighting games. That said, the "Soulcalibur" series has been notably absent since 2008, when the fourth game in the series was released. Although it was great (and featured "Star Wars" characters!), "Soulcalibur" really peaked as a series with its third installment, "Soulcalibur 2." Can it recapture that former glory as "Street Fighter" and "Mortal Kombat" did? It looks like we'll get our first glimpse of the possibilities sometime next month.

I don't think anyone can really say that Nintendo did a poor job with the Wii. It perhaps isn't what some gamers were hoping for in the company's current-generation console, but it has nonetheless been an unqualified success, particularly in contributing to the exponential growth of the so-called "casual" gaming market. Despite that success, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has some regrets, which he shared at an investors' conference this morning.
