The visually spectacular game is a direct sequel to the well-received Medal of Honor reboot which was released on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC during late 2010.

Microsoft, rather than Nintendo or Sony, will win this years E3 event according to the majority of IGN readers who were surveyed in a recent poll. The publication asked its substantial user base a number of questions related to the forthcoming trade show and sadly the results make bad reading for Nintendo fans. Sony should be pleased as IGN readers were more interested in receiving information about the next PlayStation console during the event, rather than the next Xbox or Wii U.
A fresh batch of Beyond Good & Evil 2 screenshots have leaked onto the web. The game was due to be developed for the current generations of consoles, but Ubisoft recently suggested that they were considering moving Beyond Good & Evil 2 to the next generation of home consoles. Let’s hope they decide to bring it to Wii U.
Treyarch boss Mark Lamia has explained that Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 will feature multiple endings which are determined by the choices you make through the single player campaign.

Square Enix has produced a teaser site for a new game which they are simply referring to as DvsD. There aren’t any hints relating to the nature of the game, or the platforms it is being developed for. We should find out more about the DvsD in a couple of days. What do you think it could be?

The pre-order goodies for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 have shown up on a few select retail sites and they are nothing short of underwhelming. For instance, if you decide to pre-order the game with Amazon what will you actually get? Well, you will receive a free digital wallpaper. Not exactly the best pre-order incentive I’ve ever seen, but then again, does the Call of Duty series really need pre-order incentives?
Update: I’ve been informed in the comments that GameStop will have additional pre-order incentives which weren’t listed by the source. Apparently you will be eligible to receive four downloadable items which can be used in-game, if you pre-order as soon as possible.
