DualShockers writes, "A few weeks back we were invited to an event in New York City where we would finally get the chance to get up close and personal with Treyarch and Activition’s upcoming shooter that you may have heard of, It’s called Call of Duty: Black Ops… and it’s awesome. However everything we saw was under lock and key until the 18th. Well my friends that day is today. While you can still expect a full impressions post up shortly (like tomorrow) we figure why not take the time to get to know Treyarch Community Manager, Josh “JD_2020″ Olin and learn what to expect from Black Ops before it consumes your life and online friends list this November. And if you’re worried about the online and cheaters that plagued the launch of Modern Warfare 2 last year, you will definitely want to watch this.."
A variety of new updates are available this month across the gaming platforms. Coming today, Retro Classics games are available to play for Xbox Game Pass members.

And Xbox gift cards can now be redeemed for any amount via Xbox Rewards.
While i appreciate the gesture.... all of these retro classics have been made available everywhere else. I am hoping to see some other Activision properties make their way out of the shackles of the 5th, 6th and 7th gen. Licensing be damned... bring back the Transformers Cybertron games.
Love the Cybertron games! TF games have been shit lately. Would love to see that era revisited. I even did the multiplayer!
Metaphor on Gamepass just announced! O.o
Seriously, this is the best generation of Xbox ever!!!
We can´t catch a freaking break from awesome games arriving all the time!!!
It’s a HELL of a game. If you like JRPGs in the family of Persona, you will be in heaven… that is until you hear the various battle music…. then you’ll be somewhere BEYOND heaven!
According to a developer working on the title, Activision is working on a narrative-based open-world game based on a new engine through its new studio.
It was recently revealed in an exclusive episode of the 'Grit' podcast that EA once passed up acquiring Blizzard, Activision, and Call of Duty.
Only a big company that has interest in gaming like Microsoft or Tencent could have acquired Activision. Extremely low interest rates at that time certainly helped.
Not exactly sure that a merger with EA would’ve benefited any of their franchises or gamers. I imagine it would’ve been like the activision blizzard one were each publisher retains their own identity. So Activison-Blizzard-EA. But who knows.
If it was owned by EA, COD could’ve disappeared a looong time ago. They have no clue how to manage franchises.
It's a shame EA didn't buy them then, COD should die, it's past its prime and has been since black ops 2, I started playing it when cod 4 mw first came out and it has been downhill since.
I cannot wait for this game. The same technology as Avatar!!! thats pretty sick. JD_2020 is the man.
the embargo is finally lifted!
Looks awesome!!! =D
cannot wait for this
I had my doubts about Black Ops, mainly because I wasn't terribly impressed with MW2's enhancements since COD4, but Treyarch seems to be doing their thing here!!!
The more I see/hear about this title the more I'm thinking maybe I will give it a chance after all, and I really have no choice since all of my friends will be on it anyways.
