I’ve already had a lot to say about the return of Grief, but no matter the amount of pre-release information available, you can only get a feel for it once you’ve jumped into a match. Having spent the past week body-blocking players in hallways and collecting bruises from Kali Sticks, I’m happy to report that the indirect PVP mode’s return …
Good Grief, It’s Back
For the first time in over a decade, Grief returns! If you’d asked me back in 2012, I never would have imagined being excited about it coming back in a future game. I was not a fan of Black Ops 2 Zombies at launch and saw Grief as nothing more than one of the many throwaway Zombies modes that frustrated …
Triple Threat II: Marathon Toils/Live Service COD Zombies/LA Noire Replay
In this edition of Triple Threat, Marathon shoots itself in the foot (again), Call of Duty Zombies has a live service identity crisis, and I return to a classic of the Xbox 360 generation: LA Noire. My Shattered Veil review is finally out. I love the map, but I sure hate editing! It took a lot of work, so I’d …
Triple Threat I: Marathon/Blue Prince/Switch 2 Reveal
Somehow, we’re only two weeks into April. A lot has happened! I’m introducing a new feature called Triple Threat, where I pick and discuss three topics. For the premiere, here are my thoughts on Marathon, Blue Prince, and the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. No Zombies? How diverse. I am working on a Shattered Veil video review, which will be out …
Predicting the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct
Years and years of speculation are nearly over; we’re roughly 24 hours out from the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. I’ve been anticipating an upgrade to the Switch since the Switch Pro/OLED fiasco, so it’s about damn time! The upside of waiting so long is that I’ve saved the odd £20 here and there for the past 3 or 4 years. …
If We Shatter the Veil, It Could All Make Sense
The Mansion, no more. Shattered Veil is the name of Season 3’s Zombies map. It’s not a name anyone predicted, but it immediately made my head race with possibilities. I like it a lot! The name has inspired me to dig up the script of a theory video I buried a few months ago (I had too much to say …
Richtofen’s Mansion (Shattered Veil Teaser Analysis)
It’s hard to believe, but the third post-launch map of Black Ops 6 Zombies is already on the way. This means it’s time for some predictions, teaser analysis, and my thoughts on why I believe this is the map the story of BO6 Zombies has been waiting for. Much of the goodwill from the launch period has evaporated, as is …
BO6 Zombies: Strikes, Skins and Season 3
Despite finishing my thirty-minute review of The Tomb last week, I still had more to say, which is no real surprise if you know me. I figured I’d scribble down a few more thoughts about Black Ops 6 Zombies and where we stand as of Season 2.5. The review is here if you haven’t watched it: Generative A-WHY? I know …
