If This Is an Xbox, I Want Out
As each new report emerges about the future of Xbox, my relationship with the platform continues to sour.

The Call of Duty Movie Was Inevitable
I mean, I guess… Activision will partner with Paramount to bring Call of Duty to the silver screen, with the option for further projects down the line if successful.
