Star wars battlefront will not add EP 7 DLC

Posted on December 24, 2015 by Fionna Schweit

The recently released Star Wars the force awakens is a huge merchandising juggernaught, but it seems that disney will not be pushing its content in to the newly established Star Wars Battlefront game’s cannon.  This may come as a disappointment to many fans. The first set of DLC is set on one of the planets in the movie Jakku, its even called  Battle of Jakku DLC but is set 29 years before the film so its not going technically a part of Episode 7. At least four expansion packs are coming to Battlefront, the first of which will debut in 2016.

Hideo Kojima and Konami: “You Ever Dance with the Devil in the Pale Moonlight?”

Posted on December 23, 2015 by Kenny Keelan

Seems only fitting that this article be titled with an older movie reference to Tim Burton’s Batman, honestly, as it seems Hideo Kojima and Konami have had the same kind of symbiotic and rather tumultuous relationship in the past as Konami was the one company that would give Kojima a chance back in the 80’s and, now, with the post-Metal Gear Solid V dramatics, they will be the ones to finally see him go and make something of himself elsewhere. While there’s word that Kojima is under an NDA about his departure from Konami, there is plenty of speculation as to

Blood Gulch comes to CS:GO

Posted on December 23, 2015 by Fionna Schweit

In a move most people would find confusing at least, and odd and frustrating at most, modder Itszu has created a CS: GO custom map modelled after the iconic halo level Blood Gulch.  Painstakingly reproduced the map has only a few changes here and there to still be playable in CS:GO, like bomb sites and buy zones. Other than that the Halo: CE fan favorite is completely recreated. Itszu tells us on his steam works page “All level geometry is hand-done, including brushwork and displacements. Textures have been modified as needed to support Source’s unique texture parameters. All scenery (rocks, trees) ported with Wall
