The week leading up to Zombies also featured a host of new events for players to tackle , setting them up for this Friday. Players can complete challenges to unlock the molotov cocktail scorestreak, and tackling the weapon mastery event will net players a stained-glass variant of the M16. Both events end Sunday the 24th, so fans still have time to log on and knock them  
In gaming, an open mind is essential. As I say, so many gamers missed that memo, but still. Regardless of your platform of choice, there’s always something you’re missing out on. At the great World Buffet of video games, you don’t want to be stuck just eating the same stale nachos that have been out for three weeks, do you? Get some variety on your plates, my friends, and embrace mobile ga

Sure, cellphone games have a certain notoriety for being stripped down and technically inferior, which is of course true to an extent. There’s no getting away from that sad truth, but there are also some real quality gaming experiences on offer for iOS and Android, made all the better for the unrivaled portability and convenience factor (which even dedicated portable consoles can’t hope to mat  
But this brings up an interesting question, most Call of Duty Zombies maps have a set of pre-made characters which the player controls, but in every game mode of Call of Duty: Mobile so far, the player controls a self created avatar. Will the new Zombies mode allow players to use their own avatars? And if so, will new zombies themed cosmetics come along with the game mode? There is still much to be learned about Call of Duty: Mobile 's Zombies mode, but fans will undoubtedly uncover all there is to see come tomorrow's rele  
"The D.I.C.E. Awards are VERY important to me. I have been playing video games since there were video games. I hope there is some type of Dovahkiin Shout that will make sure I don't mess this up. I will find one! If not, I'll just look like a psychotic, screaming a**hole leading up to the Awar  
Each of the remaining Game of the Year nominees (all of which placed on Game Rant's list of the Top 10 Games of 2012 ) earned multiple nominations, as well, with five for Borderlands 2 , seven for Far Cry 3 , eight for The Walking Dead , and three for XCOM: Enemy Unknown . Other heavily nominated games include Halo 4 (six nominations) and Dishonored (five nominatio  
Bethesda's Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim dominated the D.I.C.E. awards last year with wins in five categories. Following strong showings at the 2012 Spike VGAs , will Journe y and The Walking Dead be able to keep their winning streaks alive? Will either game earn more awards than Skyrim ? What do you th  
Call of Duty Mobile 's battle royale mode has a surprising amount of features at launch as well, including numerous vehicles for players to use, zombies that spawn at certain areas of the map, plenty of weapons and gear, and even supernatural bosses that drop loot. The map is a little too big and going long stretches without seeing anyone isn't uncommon, but overall Call of Duty Mobile delivers a high quality mobile battle royale experience, perhaps second only to PUBG Mobi  
Call of Duty Mobile brings the CoD experience to mobile with full-fledged multiplayer support and a zombies mode. It's proven to be incredibly popular so far (and thereby incredibly profitable), as it managed to even top Fortnite on mobile sales charts in its first week. It's simple and straightforward to use, but also comes packed with content that has expanded somewhat and will likely continue to do so. With it and Modern Warfare currently out, it's a good time to be a Call of Duty  
Ranters, are there any games that you think the AIAS has unfairly overlooked? Do you find any surprises among the nominations? And who would you pick to win the major categories? Let us know in the comments be  
The awards will be handed out on Thursday, February 7th, during the 2013 D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, and the ceremony will be streamed live on Machinima.com starting at 7:30pm PT. Nerdist head honcho/comedian Chris Hardwick will assume hosting duties for the event, replacing longtime host Jay M  
The premise is a simple one. Via a Google Maps type program, and what I can only assume is some kind of dark sorcery on Niantic’s part, you can walk around your local area and catch Pokémon as you go. The game was plagued with bugs, glitches, spawn problems and some myriad other issues in the early days, but it’s better than ever now. Still a work in progress, sure, but the popularity of this one speaks for its
