Is It Time For A Real ‘Call Of Duty Zombies’ Game?
Call of Duty has been one of the most influential and successful video game franchises out there. You say the name and most people know what you’re talking about, but the last few years it seems many fans shrug at the mention of the game or talk down about it now regardless of what critics say about the games. What official critics say and the stats showing the sales of games are one thing but the biggest concern is, are the fans happy with the games? For years the game’s roots were mainly entwined in World War II but then ‘Activision’ left the past and came into a more modern era with Modern Warfare (2007) which seemed to have re-spark interest with old fans and opened the door for new fans. Not long afterward fans were taken into an alternate historical reality with Black Ops (2010) which eventually took the series towards more of a futuristic approach, but it was

‘Fallen Kingdom’ Writer Says It Will Be Very Different From ‘Jurassic World’
One of the biggest films that we are looking forward to in 2018 is director J. A. Bayona and writer/producer Colin Trevorrow’ Jurassic World 2: Fallen Kingdom. While some fans took to social media to express their feelings that the new Fallen Kingdom trailer has an extremely similar feeling to Jurassic World. Trevorrow promises that the sequel may have a similar look, the two are very different stories. He has also mentioned that he still intends for Fallen Kingdom to be part of a trilogy. It looks like it is [similar to The Lost World] because they all go to a fog-covered, scary island with dinosaurs on it, but it goes to a very, very different place than anyone expects,” Trevorrow stated during a recent video interview. “Really the heart and soul of the movie, the turn of the story, is not what we’ve shown in this trailer. It’s very much not like The Lost World.” In the film, “it’s
