Microsoft and Activision have a limited exclusivity deal in place when it comes to DLC from the mega-popular shooter franchise, Call of Duty: all content released after launch for each entry in the series will spend a month exclusively available on Xbox LIVE before it hits other platforms. This year, Activision introduced Call of Duty Elite,

Seeing photos or watching a video of a smartphone is great when you want to see it in action or gaze lovingly at its sleek form factor or other design touches. But when it comes to size, it can be hard to really “get” how big or small the device is in real life. Enter

The video above sports right around two minutes of gameplay footage for Ubisoft’s next entry in the Ghost Recon brand, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Future Soldier has seen all sorts of delays and re-schedulings since its initial announcement. The game was first targeted to release between 2009 and 2010, then 2010 and 2011, then of 2011 and 2012

Is it kind of crazy that I — smartphone app-addicted, tablet-toting, laptop warrior princess — want this SpareOne “dumb phone”? Maybe not considering that this (actually kind of cool-looking) SIM-ready device can hold a charge for an insane amount of time. With an Energizer Ultimate Lithium L91 battery, it can be waiting at the ready

If Oklahoma State Representative William Fourkiller sees his proposal come to fruition, gamers in Oklahoma will pay an additional 1% state tax when they purchase games rated Teen, Mature or Adults Only.

You know what they say: Go big or go home. That saying is never truer than when it comes to a Super Bowl party. Unlike many other types of get-togethers, the gear is as important — perhaps even more important — than any other aspect. So if you could, how would you pimp out your

There’s been a lot of discussion surrounding Android’s security, or lack thereof, due to a spate of malicious apps that have previously circulated in the Android Market. Most recently, a claim by Symantec estimated that 13 apps containing a Trojan horse called “Android.Counterclank” may have infected anywhere from 1 million to 5 million users. This,

The kind people at Vodafone UK sent me over the newest offering from RIM’s BlackBerry Curve range, the 9360 (also known as the 9350 or 9370 in other countries). This new model sports the latest version of BlackBerry OS 7 and Near Field Communication (NFC) to bring it right up to date. Check the video

Within recent years, companies have taken to teasing their Super Bowl commercials a few weeks prior to airing. This year, a handful of major car manufacturers have jumped the gun, uploading their Super Bowl XLVI-bound multi-million-dollar spots to YouTube. While there are a few gems, the lot is relatively lackluster. In my opinion, Jerry Seinfeld

When Microsoft held its farewell CES event early last month, the company largely focused on the future of Windows and Windows Phone  - where they are now, where they’re headed, and the relationship between PC and mobile consumers. The Redmond-based company promised to offer a wholly unified OS for both, details of which have leaked out thanks

Action Electronics, the Taiwanese company behind the Action Pad, decided to use a Steve Jobs impersonator for their latest tablet ad campaign. They also decided to give him a halo and angel wings. Steve Jobs passed away in October of 2011. His death brought with it a wave of reaction and remorse from fans and tech enthusiasts

There aren’t many out there at the moment, but March 1 will see the launch of another Android Ice Cream Sandwich-powered smartphone. It’ll arrive on hardware you’re already familiar with, the HTC Sensation, but in addition to the new operating system the device will get a fancy white look. HTC announced the device in a

Google Maps, the mapping service used by millions of people across the globe, is at the center of some heated controversy because, of all things, it’s offered for free. Forbes reported that the search giant recently learned it is being fined by a French court to the tune of 500,000 euros, with an additional fine of

An image of an unknown Samsung handset running Ice Cream Sandwich has leaked ahead of Mobile World Congress happening later this month in Barcelona, Spain. Earlier today, well-known mobile industry blogger Eldar Murtazin tweeted out the image you see above.  The text of his tweet simply read: Barcelona. Samsung. Press photo leaked And that is

There are cheap tablets, and then there are really cheap tablets. The ZTE Optik proudly falls into the latter category. At just $99 with a two-year contract, the Android 3.2 equipped device is being made available through Sprint beginning February 5.

Chalk this one up as a real oddity, but at least one Apple rumor site is saying that the company is indeed having a media event this month, but it’ll be something “strange.” According to Macotakara, a Japanese Apple site with a mixed track record when it comes to rumors, the iPad 3 is still

Add another rumor to the pile of “the iPhone 5 will launch in June” talk we’ve been hearing. Last week a Foxconn worker claimed the iPhone 5 will launch in June, and now Commercial Times – a Chinese language newspaper -  is reporting that Daiwa Securities is also jumping on the June train.  According to the securities

I don’t know, I guess Star Wars and BioWare are kind of a big deal in certain circles… EA spoke about their big entry into the MMO market, Star Wars: The Old Republic, during a recent call with investors. It was their that the publishing giant announced that The Old Republic now has 1.7 million active players.

HTC has acknowledged what it calls a “small” issue on certain Android-powered devices, which may expose the passwords to Wi-Fi networks you have connected to. Security researchers Chris Hessing and Bret Jordan first discovered the flaw, which allows third-party applications to see your Wi-Fi credentials in full.
