PLAYERUNKNOWN’s Battlegrounds Could Get A Campaign

PLAYERUNKNOWN's Battlegrounds has taken the world by storm, even though the game is still in early access over on Steam its amazing at the popularity of the game. Well Brendan Green the creator of PUBG told Game Informer about his dream of a campaign based around the island and it's history. Lore is important for creating it, but we don't have any serious lore there... if we were going to do a single-player campaign then maybe the history of the island would come into it, Originally I thought, because we have this Russian island and there's evidence of a military occupation there, it'd be fun to have a Watch Dogs kind of game based on the island. Where it's a bustling island with military occupation and you and five or four friends can play a single kind of multiplayer campaign set ...

Call of Duty World War 2 – Can it Save the Series

Returning to World War Two, have the developers of the Call of Duty series done enough to save and return the series to its former glory or has too much been broken in terms of fan loyalty over the years that not even a return to the series glory days will be able to save it With the recent success of Battlefield 1 which headed back in time to World War One and therefore taking a different approach on Call of Duty last year, which decided to venture even further into the future with even more futuristic and out-there technology, Activision look like they’ve decided to take a different path this year and return to the days of old with this year’s instalment of Call of Duty.

DLC can be both paid for, and also free, even though both come with their pros and cons, all I'm going to do in this article is give you a brief overview of them all and how they affect the way we play games. So onto the first one FREE DLC!!! WOOO!! everyone loves something that is free right? Well, not when it comes at the expense of an incomplete game. For example, Rory McIlroys PGA Tour Golf by Electronic Arts, this was meant to be the game that brought back the PGA tour franchise, however, it got released with so small courses and players, even ...
