Predator Leaping into Call of Duty
A short teaser video from the official Call of Duty Instagram page shows a distinctly Predator-esque level, with a distinctly invisible threat hunting the player. Although it's not expressly said that Predator will be making an appearance in the next set of DLC maps, which the video is a teaser for, it's pretty obvious. The description even has the quote "If it bleeds..." in it.

John Carmark Comments on Facebook Oculus Acquisition
There's been a lot of anger over Facebook's purchase of Oculus Rift. Some of it has been valid, some of it has been less valid, but all of it's been loud. Some of those talking have no more knowledge of the situation than can be gleamed from The Social Network, so it's nice to see that someone closer to the scene has had something to say. John Carmack, legendary coder and a big part of the Oculus project, has finally spoken about the Oculus acquisition.

GameStop Says New Generation Doing Better than Expected
Retailer GameStop reckons the new generation has been better than anybody could have expected, going so far as to outsell the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in store in their first 15 months on the market. Hardware sales were actually higher than anybody had hoped over the Christmas period, although software sales dropped. That's perhaps to be expected, if people are going out and buying new hardware.

The Last of Us is Coming to PS4
The Last of Us has been teased for PlayStation 4 multiple times since the console was released at the end of last year. It's no surprise either. The game was great, but suffered from some graphical issues as a result of it being made for old hardware. Naughty Dog did an absolutely amazing job hiding that fact, but occasional frame rate drops and odd lighting proved a next-gen version would be so much better. It seems that it might be happening, and sooner rather than later.

PS4 up 50.00 for Canadian Retailer
Many years ago when there was a huge discrepancy between the value of the Canadian and US dollar, games and consoles in Canada were significantly more expensive then the United States.

The Walking Dead Season 2 Coming Soon to Vita?
The Walking Dead Season 2 Episode 1 made it to a variety of platforms late last year and the second episode became available in February. Despite that, there's still not been much in the way of talk about the Vita version. Those that wanted to make difficult moral decisions concerning zombies while in the bathroom or on the bus were flat out of luck. That seems like it's about to change.

Ground Zeroes PS4 Sells Almost Three Times Xbox One Version
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes is a decent title, although the price doesn't quite match the amount of content on offer (our full review is coming later today). That hasn't stopped it being a pretty successful seller though, hitting second place in the charts behind Infamous: Second Son. The fact that it's had a fairly exciting launch isn't really the most interesting thing about its release though. For that, you'll need to look closer.
