OPM: Sometimes they’re amazing, sometimes they’re awful - as the recent Dead Island Riptide debarcle proved. They are, however, always expensive. We trawl gaiming history to bring you the best and worst PlayStation Collector’s Editions ever.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Imagine that.
Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?
Wild theory
Game Rant Writes "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been available for 10 years, and in that time, no other entry has topped its weapon balance and variety."
Although Black Ops 2 is one of the more loved entries in the series, there seemed to be an overall lack of recoil when I played back in the day, which made the guns feel toy-like. The overall art style didnt really sit well with me at the time either. A bit too cartoony. I think zombies could have been cool, but on the PS3, playing splitscreen made the frame rate drop to unplayable levels.
If they had simply put a zombie head on the bust they were selling for Dead Island, I would have wanted it. But as it was it looked like a sex toy for zombie enthusiasts. And no, I'm not exaggerating. They really do sell sex toys of just torsos with no arms or head.
How many weird looks would I get if I had that in my room?
Lol... I actually have 2 of their worst CE's
The Arkham Asylum and the force unleashed 2 one... the force unleashed 2 one is rubbish... but I still love the AA one, except for the fact it came with no real case for the game
Fallout 3 wasn't bad. It was stuff that you could scavange in the game.
It rustles my jimmies a little bit when conservative people act as though sexual things are bad and make baby jesus cry
I agree with all of these except for Fallout 3's; I rather liked the clock (then again, it is what I use in my game room instead of a typical wall clock) and I do use my Fallout lunchbox to pack my lunch when going to work. I will admit, though, that the lunchbox likely wouldn't be used by most. However, I would have loved a life-size replica of the Brotherhood of Steel's Power Armor helmet regardless of whether or not it is wearable or not instead of the lunchbox. Love the bobblehead, though lol.
