Call Of Duty: Warzone brings free-to-play Battle Royale to consoles and PC today




 Possibly one of the worst kept secrets in gaming recently has been the often teased Battle Royale mode for the recently released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, the game has now been officially revealed and it seems that the highly anticipated mode will not merely be an addition to the game but will instead be a free-to-play game that will be available to download by everyone on Playstation 4, Xbox One or PC, whether they own Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare or not. The standalone game, aptly titled Call Of Duty: Warzone, is available from 12pm PDT on March 10th, unless you own Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, where players can get early access to the new mode from 8am PDT on the same day.

It’s not just the new Plunder mode that includes interesting an interesting new take on the Battle Royale genre as the standard Battle Royale mode also has a few tricks up its sleeve. The most notable is The Gulag, a separate prison area where players are taken upon their first elimination. Here the eliminated players are pitted against one another in a 1v1 match where the winner is rewarded with redeployment back into the fight to help their squadmates. Players can also be redeployed once their squadmates earn enough cash to purchase a redeployment token from one of the many redeployment stations scattered throughout the battlefield.



Speaking of the battlefield, no Battle Royale would be complete without a sprawling and interesting map for players to do battle on. Call of Duty: Warzone has players covered here with Verdansk, a large expansive city that includes over 300 points of interest. Players can zip across this map in one of the many vehicles available, including ATVs, SUVs, helicopters, and more.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City

Image
       Grand Theft Auto  is a series I like to call a "Catharsis Simulator" where we get to briefly turn off our brains for a time to enjoy ourselves. You can read more about my opinion of such things in this essay:     The series is all about being a criminal, enjoying the fruits of your ill-gotten gains, and engaging in reckless mayhem as an alternative to the humdrum joys of real-life. If you haven't tried them out, you're probably one of the few gamers who haven't but I suggest everyone do so. It's not going to be everyone's taste but, for those who enjoy them, they're great.      Grand Theft Auto: Vice City  is considered by many to be the turning point in the series. Whereas  Grand Theft Auto III  was where the series became famous, GTA:VC is where I felt its combination of wacky characters and mayhem reached its perfect mixture. While  Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas  was my first game in the series, I've si...

Electro-House musician Kavinsky will be sending fans a Nightcall in GTAV

Image
  The Gamer’s Drop have reported that electronic artist Kavinsky will be making an appearance in   Grand Theft Auto V  on a radio-station called “NightRide FM”. No word on the genre of the station, but considering one (or maybe two or three) of Kavinsky’s tracks will be featured in it, it’ll  probably run some of the latest electro-house tracks for   GTA V   players to listen to us they cruise through the streets of Los Santos. Kavinsky is a famous French electronic musician who rose to prominence after his track “Nightcall” was featured in the critically acclaimed movie “Drive”. A remix of his track “Testarossa Autodrive” by SebastiAn was also featured in  Grand Theft Auto IV . Grand Theft Auto V is set for release sometime in 2013. 0 of 34 seconds Volume 0%

Grand Theft Auto V and its treatment of women

Image
        Grand Theft Auto  is a series which is no stranger to accusations of sexism and misogyny. The original "prostitute refund" controversy, where you have sex with one before killing her to retake your money, was one of the early means by which Jack Thompson mischaracterized the series as a "murder simulator." Worse,  Grand Theft Auto 3  ended with the possible execution of Maria Latore after she begins discussing her new life with Claude. This is in addition to the games including a bevy of strip clubs, psycho ex-girlfriends, and victimized housewives.     On my end, I've always felt  Grand Theft Auto  was a series with slightly progressive attitude to the double X chromosome set. At least compared to the rest of the video game industry. Women are never prevalent in GTA's character roster and are, more often than not, objects of lust. However, Catalina and Asuka were major figures in their respective games. GTA IV lacked f...
