Want 
to play Madden on your big screen TV, but don’t have an Xbox One, PlayStation 4 or Wii U? Comcast might have a solution.
The cable giant and video game publisher Electronic Arts are reportedly finalizing an agreement that would let customers of the cable giant stream EA games through their cable box.
It’s 
not exactly a surprise that a new Call of Duty game will be launching in November, but there’s something about the upcoming Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare that seems a bit different.
It might be the tone, which appears to be darker than previous games in the series (which were hardly chuckle-fests themselves). Or it could be the prominent presence of a fully-rendered Kevin Spacey, whose starring role in the game was foreshadowed yesterday.
One thing’s for sure: It’s not the name.
The 
parting of the ways between rock star developer John Carmack and Bethesda Games parent company ZeniMax Media has gone sour.
Carmack’s former employer is accusing the now-CTO of Oculus of taking intellectual property with him when he left to join the virtual reality startup.
Nintendo’s 
counting on its biggest game of the year to spur people to buy a Wii U.
The company, somewhat predictably, plans to bundle Mario Kart 8 with its console system, throwing in the now familiar Wii steering wheel and a Wii controller as well.

The 
birds aren’t the only angry things at Rovio headquarters today. Executives likely aren’t too thrilled, either.
Profits at the studio behind the Angry Birds juggernaut fell by nearly 50 percent in 2013, sliding from $76.8 million to $37.3 million. That drop came despite more money actually coming into the company’s coffers. Revenues were up by just under $5 million last year.
Still 
spending board game night with Monopoly, Life and Battleship? It’s time to refresh your game closet. Start with these five must-own games.
China 
is getting serious about eSports.
Located in the country’s Guangdong province and off the coast of gambling paradise Macau, Hengqin Island will play host to a 15,000 seat arena designed specifically for competitive video game events.
Contemporary 
video games are big, flashy, and all kinds of fun, but sometimes they just can’t compete with a simple roll of the dice.
That’s something more and more gamers are discovering as they rekindle their love of a distinctly analog form of entertainment.
Griefing 
over Xbox Live has taken on new, dangerous proportions.
One particularly bitter opponent called the Long Island SWAT team on his opponent after losing a game of Call of Duty.
