Black Ops 2: Uprising will be made available on PC and PS3 next month. Already available on Xbox 360, the pack includes Mob of the Dead along with the maps Magma, Encore, Vertigo, and Studio. You can download come May 16 for $14.99 if you are not an Elite member.

Call of Duty:Ghosts box art has appeared through Tesco and the placeholder states it will be released in December. We say placeholder, because traditionally, CoD games are released in November. Since the listing appeared, a Target pre-order advert has appeared with a release date set for November 5 – which is more plausible.

Black Ops 2: Uprising has arrived on the XBL Marketplace. Time to head to Alcatraz and get your zombie shooting fix with Mob of the Dead. Those not into the whole shooting of the undead, can also play on the Magma, Encore, Vertigo, and Studio maps. Season Pass holders need not drop a thing, while others will need put down 1200 Microsoft Points. PC and PS3 users will get to participate in the shooting frenzy once the exclusivity period with Microsoft ends. Check availability for your area through here.

According to a new video from fictional world fan VSauce, the warfare presented in Call of Duty games is so patently ridiculous that if ever such a battle broke out and raged for just six days, the entire world’s population would be in the casualties list. If you’d like to play a realistic military sim instead, do pushups while your dad yells at you and then stand staring at the desert for eight hours a day. Black Ops 2, ladies and gentlemen! Significantly less boring than reality.

Thanks, Kotaku.
