Analysing the “Ashes of the Damned” Cinematic Trailer

It feels like only yesterday I was sitting down to write about the Terminus cinematic, yet here we are. The name of Black Ops 7 Zombies’ Tranzit-inspired launch map is Ashes of the Damned, and I have a lot of thoughts. Right out of the gate, I’m relieved the name…

T.E.D.D. Is Dead. Long Live T.E.D.D.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we won. The Black Ops 7 T.E.D.D. operator’s reign of terror is over. He has been caught and compromised to a permanent end. Thrown in the dustbin of history; snuffed out before launch; never to return.* I jest a little, but I am glad—and surprised—that the change…

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. Activision President Rob Kostich stated, “Our shared goal is quite simple — to create an unforgettable blockbuster movie experience that our…

Skate. (Early Access) Impressions: It’s Skate, but Not Enough.

Skate is back after fifteen years, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The 2020s have seen a resurgence in skateboarding video games, sparked by the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater remakes and indie titles like Session and Skater XL. It was only a matter of time before EA…

Black Ops 7: Too Much To Carry

Well, that’s a shocker! Call of Duty has cancelled Carry Forward between Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7. Operators and weapons will no longer make the jump to Black Ops 7 when Season 1 launches later this year. It’s a surprise, to be sure. While the outcry about ridiculous…

Nostalgia is a Weapon (Black Ops 7 Preview)

We’re only a few days removed from the Black Ops 7 reveal. Sick of the discourse yet? I sure am! I’ve been dodging the rage bait and bad-faith takes, but it’s no secret that many Call of Duty players are genuinely burnt out on the series. If you’re one of…

Black Ops 7 Reveal: Zombies First Impressions

Sitting down to collect my thoughts after the Black Ops 7 reveal, I think what I find most surprising is that the game offers such a meaty package. Between the campaign and its endgame, 16 Multiplayer maps, a Tranzit-sized Zombies experience with Survival maps, and Dead Ops Arcade 4, there’s…

Reckoning with [REDACTED] – Black Ops 6 Zombies Ending Thoughts

One final reminder: spoilers ahead. In October 2024, I said, “I’ll worry about the next book when we finish the one we’re on”. I’ve held off writing about the potential return of Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai until now. I don’t particularly enjoy seeing things leak, but it’s the reality…
