No CoD III for the PC

Hooray!!
I mean.
No.
Bad.
Awful.
According to IGN the next Call of Duty game is going to be on a next-gen console only. While they don’t say it flat out, you can infer it from the article. Which is what IGN did. They took Activision’s quote

Interstellar Marines

Came across this today. The trailer plays like a big-screen movie that you might see in a theatre. Deep voice-over. Cheesey lines. And even the stunning visuals. The game looks amazing. I mean wow.

Bioshock

Games Radar has a little tid-bit on this upcoming shooter..type game. Spiritual successor to System Shock 2, Bioshock hopes to recapture that same gameplay and take everything to a new level. There’s not a lot out on the game yet. Same 5 screenshots just about all over the place. An interview here, a webpage there. […]
