The Not so new VideoGame News

Black Friday Wal-Mart Videogames

You know, I’m thinking it’s about time to consider changing the term Black Friday to Black Thursday. Retailers are barely letting people finish Thanksgiving dinner before opening their doors to offer some one-time deals. We’ve got a list of other Black Friday sales going already, and now we an add Walmart to the list. Walmart will start its Black Friday dealings from 6pm-7pm on Thursday, November 28. It’s also bringing back the 1-hour in stock guarantee for select items.

As the term suggests, Walmart promises certain items won’t be sold out for at least one hour. If the item does sell out within an hour, Walmart will sell you a guarantee card that ensures you’ll get the item at the Black Friday price before Christmas. Each card is limited to one item per customer.

Entertainment apps to carry Achievements, Microsoft confirms

Entertainment apps to carry Achievements, Microsoft confirms. 

"Xbox One is empowering partners to bring media achievements andexclusive Snap experiences, as well as many other things to entertainment apps," said Microsoft in an update on Xbox Wire, "offering everybody the opportunity to achieve badges or rewards for the media they consume in addition to gaming."

The entertainment Achievements appear to be different to Xbox One's Challenges, the time-restricted tasks that do not reward Gamerscore, although it isn't yet clear whether entertainment Achievements will carry Gamerscore.

Call of duty/Medal of Honor Killer?!

Flashback to over a decade ago: you couldn’t move in a newsagent without seeing a video game magazine that had ‘Halo/Mario/GTA killer’ as a massive coverline spread across an image of some new video game. The idea of one game ‘killing’ another was embedded deep in the lexicon of gamers and the gaming press back in the day. To the extent that, in development, the very first Call of Duty was actively being referred to as ‘Medal of Honor Killer’ early in development, reports MCV.

That was what the game was actually called. That was its placeholder name in the beginning.

“The project was actually named ‘MOH killer’ until an official name could be found,” explained former Infinity Ward artist Justin Thomas.

The original Call of Duty was actually developed by many of the folks who worked on the Medal of Honor franchise all those years ago so, in that sense, the title made sense.

“We were focused more on fun than success,” Thomas continued, “with the idea that if it was fun, it would be successful. We were just going to make a great game, and do the things better than we did on previous projects. The great thing is that a team learns from previous projects.” 

Good news and bad news for Warhammer Online players

New WOW expansion?!

A new Blizzard trademark looks a heck of a lot like the name of the next World of Warcraft expansion.

In a trademark filing screengrabbed by MMO Champion, Blizzard is seen to have applied to register the phrase Warlords of Draenor.

The trademark was filed in the usual categories for video games.

The domain warlordsofdraenor.com was registered in early October, too, although according to WhoIs records it was registered via Go Daddy, which is unusual for a corporate registration.

Draenor is a location in the Warcraft universe the homeland of the orcs. It was the primary setting of the first Wold of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade.
