Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Zombies Chronicles Review

Image
Nearly two years after releasing, Black Ops 3 has received new DLC; Zombies Chronicles.

Fetch me their souls… Nacht der Untoten. The original Zombies map that was never intended to release, and was simply an Easter Egg that players received upon completing the World at War Campaign. There was no official Activision backing, and assets had to be reused (men on fire were used to create shambling zombies). There was also no voice acting, although it has now been implemented for Zombies Chronicles. There is no way that Treyarch could’ve predicted that their passion project would turn into a staple of the series, one which Call of Duty: WW2 developer Sledgehammer Games is keeping for their upcoming title.
Reach for Juggernog tonight! Zombies has come so far as to now become a whole other beast, a spin-off from the main game, with Treyarch even implementing Zombies into the Campaign and Multiplayer of Black Ops 3.

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War Review

Middle-Earth: Shadow of War is an action-adventure RPG set in J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy universe, where power is obtained by enslaving orcs. The game takes place during the sixty year span between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring, and follows the un-dead ranger Talion as he tries to turn the tide of war.

Rewind Review: Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty

Image
The classic tactical espionage action game from Hideo Kojima and Konami, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty continues the epic story of Snake as he attempts to once again save the world.


Story The game follows on from the events of Shadow Moses in MGS1, with the player assuming the role of the legendary soldier Solid Snake, as he infiltrates a Tanker looking for a new type of Metal Gear. It is later revealed during this mission (spoiler warning) that the weapon is none other than a prototype Metal Gear RAY, and is being developed by the United States Marine Corps. Old rival Revolver Ocelot (Liquid Snake) makes an appearance, ambushing and betraying his allies, claiming that he is taking RAY back, before destroying the ship. Snake is blamed for the disaster and is presumed dead, and so begins Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty.


In 2009, two years later, the game progresses as an oil-cleaning facility located on the Hudson River, named “Big Shell”, is overtaken by terrorist group Dead…
