While no official release date has been confirmed, players can pre-register on the game’s website right here to participate in the upcoming beta tests for the title.

The iPad version houses the same features of the iPhone version – Challenge, Advanced and Self-Score. The difference? It looks a heck of a lot better on the iPad thanks to the real estate increase, and it’s $4.99 on iTu

These are interesting solutions to the age-old problem, but neither fully felt natural. Auto mode took away too much control, but manual mode still felt too imprecise. There’s still fun to be had, but it’s also easy to get frustrated from the lack of precision offered by a touchscreen. The game is best on a controller, though Activision wouldn’t confirm what, if any, controllers Call of Duty Mobile will support. Considering iOS 13 finally adds DualShock 4 and Xbox One Controller support to iOS devices, Call of Duty Mobile should highly consider supporting it.

And while Phil Fish is taking a break from the world of video games after a Twitter meltdown (where he shockingly canned Fez 2 ), his original Fez is making its way to the PlayStation family, releasing for PS3, PS4 and Vita. There’s no timeframe yet but Blit Software is handling the porting duties, working with original developer Polyt

At Gamescom EA brought a customized tank to make an impression for the up and coming free-to-play reboot of Command & Conquer . Taking a note from Wargaming.net who frequent E3 with WWII vehicles, the devs take us behind-the-sce

Call of Duty Mobile feels like a ‘Best of’ album. The game pulls heavily from the beloved Modern Warfare and Black Ops franchises to fill its ranks of guns, maps, and gameplay features. The game is fully boots-on-the-ground like all the Modern Warfare games, but features Specialist weapons like a Black Ops title. Both franchises feature iconic maps and weapons that fans love, which makes Call of Duty Mobile appealing. We likely won’t ever get a full-fledged Call of Duty game that utilizes the best content from Infinity Ward and Treyarch, so this might be the best way to experience the best of both worlds in a single game.

It’s been another major week in video games with Germany’s Gamescom event being host to the most announcements, unveilings and news since E3 in June. On the news front this week, we’re going to look at the status of Yogventures ; Dragon Age and Star Wars Warzone Mobile Lag Fix games; another real-instrument music game; Call of Duty headsets and a Command & Conquer tank; a library of Oculus Rift games; Ubisoft’s other big movie, and high profile Vita ga

Call of Duty Mobile’s attempt to bring the Call of Duty formula to mobile devices is admirable and mostly successful. The limitations of mobile devices likely mean that we’ll never get an FPS title as accurate and precise as on PC or console. The setup for Call of Duty Mobile works well enough, however, for on-the-go action. The game looks good and comes packed with some of the best content from the Modern Warfare and Black Ops series. There are still serious questions about Activision and Tencent’s monetization plans, but they have time to sort it out. Call of Duty Mobile won’t replace the mainline games, but it’s fun enough for some quick matches.

With both Fortnite and PUBG currently available on mobile devices , there are already some opportunities for fans to carry their favorite shooters with them. However, it does seem that Call of Duty: Mobile is looking to offer an expansive experience, and many players in North America, South America, and Europe will certainly be excited to learn that they will now have the opportunity to play

The mobile shooter space has never been the most robust. For years, developers have struggled to build a gameplay system that works on touchscreens and maintains the fast-paced nature of a shooter. Still, despite these issues, popular games like Fortnite and PUBG have found huge success in the mobile space. As such, it isn’t that surprising that Activision is hopping in with their take on a mobile Call of Duty. Call of Duty Mobile aims to bring the whole Call of Duty experience to your iOS and Android devices, but does it succeed?
