Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Zombie World Premiere

The Zombie mode for Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 had its World Premiere today on September 26th. Did you watch Treyarch's two minute trailer?



If not head on here to the Call of Duty official site to enjoy all the zombies. You will be prompted to enter your birthday first since the game is rated M for Mature. The trailer does look a lot more cinematic during a few scenes, does not look like its all gameplay.

The biggest reveal that came from the trailer is that the zombie mode will have some type of campaign. The mode will deliver a type of story maybe revolving around the difficulty noted by the progression of the symbols starting out bland to finally at the end with a skull. One similar thing between all the zombies besides the whole being undead is the blue eyes.


For those that played the zombie mode in Call of Duty Black Ops, the blue eyes came into effect after the incidents in the Moon Downloadable Content for the game.

There were a lot of scenes showcasing the bus, makes you wonder if you get to drive it during a level of the zombie mode. Only time will tell, but we can hope. The last scene in the video zooms out of the 4 playable characters who are being surrounded by the zombies. There is lava everywhere and the zombies run through it without slowing continuing on with the charge.
The game is going to be released on November 13 for the Xbox, Playstation 3, and PC. The game will launch for the Wii U on the 18th coinciding with the release of the system.

The show Elementary has Jonathan "Jonny"  Lee Miller playing the detective Sherlock Holmes. The one big notable difference is that Dr. Watson will be portrayed by Lucy Liu. This is the first time Watson will be shown as a woman on Television. Not sure if they are going for a sensual relationship between the two or they will keep true to the original relationship between Watson ans Holmes. The show will revolve around modern day New York with Holmes and Watson taking on cases from the New York Police Department.

On the other hand The Testament Sherlock Holmes will revolve around a replicated London set in the year 1898. This is after The Sign of the Four novel and the short story A Scandal in Bohemia in 1891. Also the game is a follow up to the Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper video game that was released in 2009.  You will take on the role of a Sherlock Holmes who is accused of criminal acts, forcing a darker side of Holmes to reveal itself.On occasion you will use Dr. Watson to find where Holmes has hidden himself from the public, which means the game offers two different playable characters. The game does look visually more pleasing than its predecessor so a plus one there for Frogwares, the developers of the game. The game is available for the price of $39.99, which is considerably cheaper than the usual $59.99 for a newly released game.

Are you ready to take on the role of Sherlock Holmes? Go forth and test your detective skills.

Humble Indie Bundle 6 Gets Even Better

Only 7 days after the new Humble Bundle went live over 22,000 bundles have been sold. The top contributor is no longer @fourzerotwo, but @MagicalTux. Finally, the Humble Bundle site has decided to add on four more games and their soundtracks.

The four games added are Bit.Trip Runner, Gratuitous Battles, Jamestown, and Wizorb. The soundtracks released are the music that is found in each individual game. Bit.Trip Runner is a retro styled platform game featuring CommanderVideo as the playable character. Then there's Gratuitous Space Battles the sci-fi strategy game that has you flying in space fighting another fleet of spaceships in various out of this world locations. Jamestown is a shooter that focuses on the war in the year 1619 between England and Spain on Mars. Finally Wizorb is a role playing game where you take on the role of a wizard in a world that is similar to the classic Breakout by Atari.

If you had already purchased the bundle prior to the release of the four additional games then they should appear right in your account. If you still haven't contributed to the bundle you just have to pay more than the $5.86 average to unlock all ten games and the nine soundtracks. The great thing about the Humble Bundle is that you can customize who your contribution goes too. You choose how much goes to the developers, the charity, and the site itself.

Have you purchased your Humble Indie Bundle? Are you having fun playing the ten games and listening to their amazing soundtracks?  If you haven't hurry there's only seven days left.
