The Grief of Modern COD Zombies

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 …

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 …

115 Day Update

Happy 115 Day! To honour the momentous occasion, I’ve given the Aetherium Anonymous poster a bloody twist. It felt fitting. The news of a new Zombies map so soon after the launch of Citadelle Des Morts is massive. We’ll potentially be playing DLC 2 by the end of January—it’s crazy! In the back of my mind, I hoped Treyarch might …

The Shutter Paw Awards 2024: Top 10 Games of the Year

2024 is all wrapped up, so it’s time for the inevitable end-of-year list. I’ve enjoyed a lot of different things this year, so there are some additional awards alongside my top ten. Enjoy! 10: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Like the man himself, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes it by the skin of its teeth! Despite my …
