Could you not believe your eyes either? Speaking with a FOX (WNYW-TV) news reporter, 8-year-old Felix von Perfall innocently gave some (wise?) advice: “Call of Duty, it’s a good game, but it’s really—I wouldn’t advise it for younger kids.”

“Call of Duty, it’s a good game, but it’s really—I wouldn’t advise it for younger kids,”

This eight-year-old child has been exposed to things that nobody younger than him should ever have to see. (There’s nothing wrong here.) And here’s a fun fact: only Call of Duty 3 was given a rating lower than M — it was never rated E though.

What do you think of future mega super soldiers (sorry) younger children being exposed to violent games at an earlier age? Let’s have an open discussion, shall we? Sound off in the comments!

Dead or Alive 5 PlusYes, that’s correct. Dead or Alive 5 Plus for Vita will include a first-person mode, in which players must hold the Vita in a vertical fashion and use the handheld’s motion sensor for a “first-person, full-screen view of your opponent.” In addition, DOA5+ will also feature new touch controls, such as “simple taps, swipes, and pinches” which can “trigger a variety of devastating moves.”

Also included for new and expert players to up their game are “new training-focused modes and a new display of advanced frame data that reveals twice the amount of information for each move compared to previous versions.” Apparently, tournament players will spend hours analyzing the best moves for their fights. Um, what?

ps3The guys over at Dual Pixels claim to have unearthed information about the PS3′s upcoming successor. According to their source, the PlayStation 4 will not be named after the PlayStation 3, but will be given the name PlayStation Omni.

Apparently the PS Omni’s hardware will be able to produce graphics as well as Direct X 11-backed technology, like Unreal Engine 4 and Frostbite 2. The Omni will be superior than the Wii U, which is expected, but not significantly — the same source says that the new Xbox will be more powerful than the Omni. Continue reading →
